Quantum-chemical study of thermodynamics of hydrogen-bonded methylamine-methanol complexes reaction with dimethyl carbonate

Thermodynamic parameters of the reactions of dimethyl carbonate cis-cis and cis-trans conformers with methylamine, methylamine dimer, and methylamine complexes involving linear methanol associates have been computed with the B3LYP and WB97XD quantum-chemical methods. The both methods have given similar results. Thermodynamically, reactions of the cis-trans conformer are preferred over the analogous reactions of the cis-cis conformer, and the reactions with methylamine dimer and methylamine-methanol trimer complex are preferred over the reactions with methylamine monomer. The acid-base properties of the hydrogen-bonded methanol complexes are significantly enhanced with increasing degree of association. Stability of the methylamine complexes with methanol clusters is increased with more of the alcohol molecules involved.     

Kinetic study on the reaction of OH radical with dimethyl sulfide in the absence of oxygen.

A variational transition-state theory calculation for the reaction of OH radical with dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the absence of oxygen is presented. The potential energy surface was previously studied and the effects of different levels of theory were analyzed. Here we propose a kinetic model for the atmospheric DMS oxidation in the absence of oxygen. For the first time, addition of OH to DMS and CH(3)SOH elimination channels are connected, and the equilibrium approximation in the high-pressure regime is applied to the DMS-OH adduct in the absence of oxygen. Both low- and high-pressure limits are considered to analyze the two different mechanisms of the H-abstraction channel, and two different kinetic approaches are applied to study them. The rate constants for the addition-elimination and H-abstraction routes are compared and the branching ratios are also studied. Tunneling contributions and kinetic isotope effects are analyzed. We conclude, in agreement with experimental observations, that in the absence of oxygen DMS oxidation takes place via H-abstraction with a branching ratio of 1.0 at atmospheric temperatures.     

Kinetic study of methoxycarbonylation of 1,6‐hexanediamine with dimethyl carbonate using Mn(OAc)2 catalyst

Clean synthesis of dimethylhexane‐1,6‐dicarbamate (HDC) from methoxycarbonylation of 1,6‐hexanediamine (HDA) with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) was studied. Among several heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts, Mn(OAc)₂ was screened as the most effective catalyst over which the kinetic balance could be reached within 2–3 h. Then the kinetic model of the methoxycarbonylation of HDA with DMC using Mn(OAc)₂ catalyst, under the real reaction conditions was established. Results indicated that the reaction orders were confirmed to be 4.5 for the first step reaction and 4.3 for the second step reaction by the numerical differential method. In addition, the activation energies for the first and second step reaction were 47.0514 and 60.4504 kJ·mol⁻¹ and the frequency factors were 1.4645 × 10² and 3.6519 × 10⁴ min⁻¹, respectively. Moreover, the kinetic model correlated well with experimental data. This study not only provides a highly efficient catalyst for the methoxycarbonylation of HDA with DMC but also gives the guidance for the design of the reactor by studying its kinetic under real reaction conditions.     

Polycarbonate synthesis by the melt phase carbonate-ester interchange reaction of bisphenol-A diacetate with dimethyl carbonate

The molecular weight of polycarbonate formed by the carbonate-ester interchange reaction of bisphenol-A diacetate (BPAC₂) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) was found to depend on the composition of the oligomer formed in its first stage. At a [DMC] : [BPAC₂] ratio of 2, an oligomer with relatively higher acetate end group concentration was formed. This upon further polycondensation yielded a polycarbonate of inherent viscosity, 0.2-0.25 dL/g. Upon addition of DMC at a later stage in the oligomer-forming reaction, an oligomer containing relatively higher carbonate end groups could be obtained. These oligomers gave polycarbonates higher inherent viscosity, 0.4-0.5 dL/g. It is therefore proposed that oligomers having carbonate end groups are more reactive in self-polycondensation than those containing acetate end groups. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the catalytic reaction between alcohols and dimethyl carbonate

The mechanism of the reaction between alcohols and dimethyl carbonate, catalyzed by dicobalt octacarbonyl Co₂(CO)₈, is studied by means of mathematical modeling. Kinetic models for possible schemes of chemical transformations are constructed at different initial concentrations of the catalyst. Based on a comparative analysis of activation energies of possible stages of chemical transformations, possible reaction pathways are determined and an appropriate mechanism is selected.     

Kinetic model for reaction of aspartic acid with magnesium carbonate in solution

A kinetic model has been developed for describing the non-catalytic liquid-solid reaction between aspartic acid and magnesium carbonate in solution, with parallel dissolution of aspartic acid particles. The effects of size distribution of both the aspartic acid and magnesium carbonate particles have been accounted for by using a population balance model. The parameters of the model have been estimated by fitting them to experimental data taken from literature.

Kinetic study of the reaction of BrO radicals with dimethylsulfide

The kinetics and mechanism of the reaction of BrO with dimethylsulfide (DMS) have been studied by the mass spectrometric discharge-flow method in the temperature range (233–320) K and at a total pressure around 1 torr. The temperature dependence of the reaction rate constant k₁ = (1.5 ± 0.4) × 10⁻¹⁴ exp [(845 ± 175)/T] cm³ molecule⁻¹s⁻¹ has been determined under pseudo-first-order conditions in excess of DMS over BrO radicals. Mass spectrometric calibration of the reaction product dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) allowed for a determination of the branching ratio of (0.94 ± 0.11) for the DMSO forming channel. These data indicate that the reaction is likely to proceed through a channel involving a long-lived intermediate: BrO + CH₃SCH₃ →[CH₃S(OBr)CH₃]* → CH₃S(O)CH₃ + Br. The atmospheric application of the data is briefly discussed. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Kinetic study of the CN radical reaction with 2-methylfuran

The gas phase reaction of the ground state cyano-radical (CN (X²∑⁺)) with 2-methylfuran (2-MF) is investigated in a quasi-static reaction cell at pressures ranging from 2.2 to 7.6 Torr and temperatures ranging from 304 to 440 K. The CN radicals are generated in their ground electronic state by pulsed laser photolysis of gaseous cyanogen iodide (ICN) at 266 nm. Their concentration is monitored as a function of reaction time using laser-induced fluorescence at 387.3 nm on the B²∑⁺ (ν′ = 0) ← X²∑⁺ (ν″ = 0) vibronic band. The reaction rate coefficient is found to be rapid and independent of pressure and temperature. Over the investigated temperature and pressure ranges, the rate coefficient is measured to be 2.83 (± 0.18) × 10⁻¹⁰ cm³ molecules s⁻¹. The enthalpies of the stationary points and transition states on the CN + 2-MF potential energy surface are calculated using the CBS-QB3 computational method. The kinetic results suggest the lack of a prereactive complex on the reaction entrance channel with either a very small or nonexistent entrance energy barrier. In addition, the potential energy surface calculations reveal only submerged barriers along the minimum energy path. Based on comparisons between previous CN reactions with unsaturated hydrocarbons, the most likely reaction pathway is CN addition onto one of the unsaturated carbons followed by either H or methyl elimination. The implications for the transformation of biomass-derived fuels in nitrogen-rich flames is discussed.

Kinetic study of the gas-phase reaction of OH with Br2

An experimental, temperature-dependent kinetic study of the gas-phase reaction of the hydroxyl radical with molecular bromine (reaction 1) has been performed by using a pulsed laser photolysis/pulsed-laser-induced fluorescence technique over a wide temperature range of 297-766 K, and at pressures between 6.68 and 40.29 kPa of helium. The experimental rate coefficients for reaction 1 demonstrate no correlation with pressure and exhibit a negative temperature dependence with a slight negative curvature in the Arrhenius plot. A nonlinear least-squares fit with two floating parameters of the temperature-dependent k(1)(T) data set using an equation of the form k(1)(T) = AT(n) yields the recommended expression k(1)(T) = (1.85 x 10(-9))T(-0.66) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) for the temperature dependence of the reaction 1 rate coefficient. The potential energy surface (PES) of reaction 1 was investigated with use of quantum chemistry methods. The reaction proceeds through formation of a weakly bound OH...Br(2) complex and a PES saddle point with an energy below that of the reactants. Temperature dependence of the reaction rate coefficient was modeled by using the RRKM method on the basis of the calculated PES.     

A Kinetic study of the reaction of nitrogen dioxide with tetrafluoroethylene

The reaction of NO₂ with C₂F₄ was studied at 30°, 68°, 114°, and 157°C by in situ monitoring the infrared absorption bands of the products. The major primary products of the reaction are O₂NCF₂CFO and FNO. Smaller amounts of CF₂O (and presumably NO) are also produced. There was no evidence for other primary products, though they may have been produced in minor amounts. The rate laws for the production of both O₂NCF₂CFO and CF₂O are first order in both [NO₂] and [C₂F₄]. CF₂O production is at least partly heterogeneous as demonstrated by packing the quartz reaction vessel with Pyrex beads and by using a Monel cell. The homogeneous rate constant obtained from the high-temperature results gives a rate constant of 3.4 × 10⁸ exp (minus;17000/RT) M^?1sec^?1 for CF₂O production. Actually these Arrhenius parameters represent lower limits, since the heterogeneous reaction may still be playing a significant role. The production rate of O₂NCF₂CFO is not much affected by changing the nature of the surface or the surface to volume ratio. However the reaction may be heterogeneous, since the rate constant for its formation of 1.3 × 10⁴ e×p (?7500/RT) M^?1sec^?1 has an abnormally low pree×ponential factor. E×periments in the presence of NO indicate that the mechanism for O₂NCF₂CFO formatlon is The intermediate can also react with NO: with k₁₃/k₁₂ = 1.3.     

Kinetic and mechanistic study on the reaction of alkylcobaloximes with azoles

The kinetics of axial water substitution by azoles (pyrazole and 1,2,4-triazole) in three different cobaloximes, viz.trans-[Co(Hdmg)(2)(R)H(2)O] where Hdmg = dimethylglyoximate, R = PhCH(2), Et and CF(3)CH(2), were studied as a function of azole concentration, temperature and pressure in aqueous solution. The second order rate constants for the substitution of water in trans-[Co(Hdmg)(2)(R)H(2)O] for R = Et at pH 6.0, 25 degrees C and I= 0.1 M (NaClO(4)), were found to be 1309 and 1200 M(-1) s(-1) for pyrazole (Pz) and 1,2,4-triazole (Tz), respectively, and those obtained for R = PhCH(2) were found to be 755 and 691 M(-1) s(-1), respectively. The second order rate constants in the case of R = CF(3)CH(2) were found to be 0.358 and 0.348 M(-1) s(-1) for Pz and Tz, respectively. The relative order of reactivity for the different alkyls being Et > PhCH(2) > CF(3)CH(2). The activation parameters (DeltaH([not equal]), DeltaS([not equal]) and DeltaV([not equal])) obtained for these reactions were found to be in the range of 65-87 kJ mol(-1), 24-47 J mol(-1) K(-1) and 2.5-7.7 cm(3) mol(-1), respectively. These data suggest that an I(d) substitution mechanism operates where the azoles participate in the transition state.
