On the Reaction Mechanism of Br2 with OCS

The reaction mechanism of photochemical reaction between Br2 (^1∑) and OCS (^1∑) is predicted by means of theoretical methods. The calculated results indicate that the direct addition of Br2 to the CS bond of OCS molecule is more favorable in energy than the direct addition of Br2 to the CO bond. Furthermore, the intermediate isomer syn-BrC(O)SBr is more stablethe rmodynamically and kinetically than anti-BrC(O)SBr. The original resultant anti-BrC(O)SBr formed in the most favorable reaction channel can easily isomerize into the final product syn-BrC(O)SBr with only 31.72 kJ/mol reaction barrier height. The suggested mechanism is in good agreement with previous experimental study.     

Theoretical Study of the Iodine-catalyzed Nucleophilic Addition by Halogen Bond

The iodine-catalyzed nucleophilic addition of pyrrole to acetone has been studied by density functional theory at the level of Lanl2DZ. It has been shown that the first iodine molecule appears to have a remarkable catalytic effect on this reaction by halogen bond between carbonyl oxygen and iodine molecule,but the second one does not improve the reaction largely. In general,the nucleophilic addition at the C(2) site of pyrrole is more favorable than that at the C(3) site; however,this trend is not prominent or even changed in acetronitrile solvent for the indole system,which is consistent with the experimental result by Bandgar.     

Theoretical Study on the Tripletsensitized Photolysis of 2,5-Dimethylfuran

1 INTRODUCTION Photosensitization of the furans has once been a region of very active study in experiments[1～7]. As regards the reaction of 2,5-dimethylfuran in this work, however, it proceeds through carbene intermediate leading to the major product and also there are some minor reactions through diradical intermediate[2d]. Because of the symmetry of 2,5-dimethylfuran, the bond breakage between O atom and two adjacent carbon atoms are equal to each other. Thus there is only one bond br…     

Theoretical Studies on the Reaction Mechanism of AsCl3 with H2 in the Vapor Phase Epitaxy of GaAs

The reaction mechanism of AsCl3 with H2 has been studied by using the method of BHandHLYP in Density Functional Theory (DFT) at the 6-311G** basis set. The transition state of each reaction is verified via the analysis of vibration mode and Intrinsic Reaction Coordinate (IRC). Meanwhile,single-point energy has been calculated at the QCISD(T)/6-311G** level,and the zero-point energy correction has been made to the total energy and reaction energy barrier. It shows that AsCl3 reacts with H2 to first result in AsHCl2 which may incline to self-decompose and finally afford the product As2,or continue to react with H2 to provide the product AsH3. The computing result demonstrates that the former is the main reaction channel.     

一个新的测定镍的分光光度法——-以2-4-溴-2-苯骈噻唑偶氮)-5-二乙胺基苯酚作试剂

At pH 9.5 nickel reacts with 2-(6-bromo-2-benzothiazolylazo)-5 diethylamino-phenol (Br-BTAE) in the presence of Tween-80 and sodium lauryl sulfate to form a red-violet complex which has an absorption maximum at 540 nm (e 2.5X10^5). Though this is also the absorption maximum of the reagent, yet the reagent will readily decompose at 40-50`C within 20 min. The reagent blank is low and the error is negligible. Beer's law is obeyed for 0.01-0.125 \mγ nickel in a 1mL solution. The composition of the complex was found to be Ni/Br-BTAE=1:2 by the continuous-variation method. This method can be applied to the determination of nickel in electroplating waste-water and in copper-aluminium alloy and steel samples after extraction with dimethylglyoxime. The results of the analysis agree with that from AAS and dimethylglyoxime method     

有机磷化合物的研究IX.某些具有活泼亚甲基化合物的碳磷酰化反应

The formation of P -- C bond is one of the important problems in synthetic organophosphorous chemistry. This paper describes the study of the formation of P -- C linkage via phosphorylation of carbon atom containing active hydrogen. p-Substituted phenylacetonitrile possessing an active methylene group undergoes stepwise C -- phosphorylation smoothly with diethyl phosphoryl chloride in the presence of naphthalene-sodium. Phosphonyl chloride reacts analogously. Being a deprotonizing agent naphthalene-sodium is distinguished by its availability, effectiveness and mild reaction conditions. The presence of an electron-withdrawing group in the benzene ring reduces the yield of phosphorylation seriously. The chemical shift of ^3^1P NMR of the resulted α-cyano-benzylphosphonates (1) correlates linearly with the Hammett \s\ constants of the substituents. As indicated by ^1H NMR studies the protons in the ester ethyl groups are magnetically nonequivalent. Compound 1 can be alkylated with alkyl halide or condensed with aromatic aldehyde by Hornor-Wittig type reaction due to the presence of active hydrogen atom. The structure-reactivity studies of diethyl phosphoryl chloride on reacting with various β- and β-diketones and β-keto esters (5) as regiospecific reaction were reported. The influences of metal ions in the enolates on the reactivity of the latter were examined and discussed. Only vinyl phosphates with predominantly Z configuration have been isolated exclusively. The C atom with an active hydrogen in the β-diketones investigated is inert to phosphorylation. These experimental results are well supported by reaction selectivity in terms of Eqo/Ecoc based on EHMO calculation.     

On QSAR Study of Stereoselectivity for Wittig Reaction

1INTRODUCTION Witting reaction is an important and well-known organic reaction.In this reaction system,phospho-nium ylides react with aldehydes or ketones to gene-rate olefins and phosphonium oxides.Obviously,the position of double bond in olefins is exactly the po-sition of carbonyl group in the reactants,so there are no other position isomers in products.Due to this advantage,Witting reaction has been widely used in organic synthesis[1].Witting reaction could introduce double bond to c…     

COS Activation by Zr~＋ in the Gas Phase：A Case of Two-state Reactivity Process

To elucidate the mechanisms of Zr + reacting with COS,both the quartet and doublet potential energy surfaces (PESs) for reactions of Zr + (4 F,2 D) with COS in the gas phase have been investigated in detail by means of density functional method (B3LYP).To obtain more accurate results,the coupled cluster single-point calculations (CCSD(T)) using B3LYP optimized geometries were performed.For the C-O bond activation,the calculated results indicate that both the quartet and doublet states proceed via an insertion-elimination mechanism.For the C-S bond activation,the quartet reaction has an insertion-elimination mechanism,but the doublet reaction is a direct abstraction of the sulfur atom by Zr +.The C-S bond activation is found to be energetically more favorable than the C-O bond activation.It is found that the reaction of the 4 F gound state of Zr + to yield ZrO + is spin-forbidden (Zr + (4 F) + COS (1 Σ) → ZrO + (2) + CS (1 Σ)) and the crossing points were approximately determined.All the results have been compared with the existing experimental and theoretical data.     

Cluster—cracking Reaction,a New Method to Synthesize Unsymmetrical Dithiolate Complexes for the Study of Third—Order Nonlinear Optical Properties

A new coluster-cracking method to synthesize dithiolate metal complexes was reported and four unsymmetric complexes with formula(Me4N)2[M(Ln)(SPh)2](M=Cd and Zn,L1=dmit=1,3-dithiole-2-thione4-5,dithiolate,L2=dmid=1,3-dithiole-2-one-4,5-dithiolate,SPh=thiophenolate)(1-4)were characterized by elemental analysis,IR,UV NMR spectra and so on.The advantages of this method are summarized in two aspects:(1) the preparation is very convenient;(2) the reaction usually completed giving the product with high pruity.The crystal structure of 1 showed that the bond distances of Cd(Ⅱ）to the sulfur of the thiophenolate group are shorter than those of Cd(Ⅱ）to the sulfur of dmit,so that the thiophenolate group does not be replaced in the reaction and thmixed ligand complexes are the dominant produxts.The dmit complexes showed well third-order NLO properties,but not of the dmid complexes,although dmid is an analogue to dmit.     

Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reaction of Phenyl Fluoroalkanesulfonates with Allyltributyltin

Transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction is an efficient method of carbon-carbon bond formation.e.g.palladium-catalyzed reaction for vinyl triflates with orga-notin reagents provides a good example of this kind.The authors and othershave shown that palladium could insert into the carbon-oxygen bond of phenyl fluoroal-kanesulfonate(ArOSO_2R_f1)via oxidative addition.Very recently,the transmetallationof this arylpalladium(Ⅱ)species with organozinc reagents giving the correspondingalkylbenzenes has also been reported.Herein we wish to present another novel cross--coupling reaction of phenyl fluoroalkanesulfonates(1)with an organometallic reagent,allyltributyltin(2)in the presence of catalytic amounts of tetrakis(triphenylphos-phine)-palladium to give the corresponding allyl benzenes(3)in good yields.     

Equatorial preference in the C[bond]H activation of cycloalkanes: GaCl3-catalyzed aromatic alkylation reaction

GaCl(3) catalyzes the aromatic alkylation of naphthalene or phenanthrene using cycloalkanes. The C[bond]C formation predominantly takes place at the least hindered positions of the substrates, and equatorial isomers regarding the cycloalkane moiety are generally obtained. The reaction of bicyclo[4.4.0]decane and naphthalene occurs at the 2-position of naphthalene and at the 2- or 3-carbons of the cycloalkane, and the products possess a trans configuration at the junctures and an equatorial configuration at the naphthyl groups. Notably, cis-bicyclo[4.4.0]decane turns out to be much more reactive than the trans isomer, and a turnover number "TON" up to 20 based on GaCl(3) is attained. 1,2-Dimethylcyclohexane reacts similarly, and the cis isomer is more reactive than the trans isomer. Monoalkylcycloalkanes react at the secondary carbons provided that the alkyl group is smaller than tert-butyl. Adamantanes react at the tertiary 1-position. The alkylation reaction is considered to involve the C[bond]H activation of cycloalkanes with GaCl(3) at the tertiary center followed by the migration of carbocations and electrophilic aromatic substitution yielding thermodynamically stable products. The stereochemistry of the reaction reveals that GaCl(3) activates the equatorial tertiary C[bond]H rather than the axial tertiary C[bond]H.     

Gas-phase electrophilic attack of a double bond exhibits stereoselectivity

Protonated acetaldehyde (ion 1) reacts with allyltrimethylsilane (allyl-TMS) in the gas phase to yield cis-piperylene (cis-1,3-pentadiene) as the major product. The cis isomer predominates over trans by a factor >/=15:1, a degree of stereoselectivity that is unprecedented in a reaction where the double bond geometry has not been specified in the reactant. The neutral products were assessed by creating tritiated 1 via decay of a tritium nucleus in gaseous ethanol molecules labeled with >1 tritium atom. The radioactive C5H8 products must result from addition of the electrophilic ion to the allyl group followed by an elimination. Deprotonation of C5H9+ cannot account for the product stereochemistry. One possible explanation is that addition of the electrophile to the double bond is followed by elimination of Me3SiOH2+ on a time scale faster than that by which the initially formed adduct ion can change its conformation.     

Novel formation of iodobenzene derivatives from 1-(methylthio)-3-tosylhexa-1,3-dien-5-ynes via iodine-induced intramolecular cyclization

The reaction of (1E,3E)-1-(methylthio)-3-tosylhexa-1,3-dien-5-ynes (3) with iodine to form iodine-substituted benzenes (4) is reported. The reaction of 3 with iodine proceeded very slowly, but UV irradiation accelerates the reaction to give 4 in high-to-excellent yields. Irradiation induces the cis-trans isomerization of the C1-C2 double bond, leading to the (1Z,3E)-geometric isomer (3'), which easily reacts with iodine to afford 4. This reaction is applicable to 3-(methoxycarbonyl)-1-(methylthio)-6-phenylhexa-1,3-dien-5-yne (11), which is synthesized as a geometric mixture. Interestingly, this mixture can be used as the starting material. Irradiation of the mixture (the geometric isomer ratio = 50:28:5:17) with iodine resulted in the formation of methyl 3-iodo-4-phenylbenzoate (12) in 80% yield.     

Carbon-fluorine bond activation coupled with carbon-carbon bond formation at iridium. Confirmation of complete kinetic diastereoselectivity at the new carbon stereocenter by intramolecular trapping using vinyl as the migrating group

The iridium(perfluoropropyl)(vinyl) complex CpIr(PMe(3))(n-C(3)F(7))(CH=CH(2)) (5) has been prepared. It has been characterized by X-ray crystallography, and its ground state conformation in solution has been determined by (19)F{(1)H} HOESY NMR studies. It reacts with the weak acid lutidinium iodide to afford the eta(1)-allylic complex CpIr(PMe(3))((Z)-CH(2)CH=CFC(2)F(5))I (6), which has also been characterized crystallographically. The mechanism of C-F bond activation and C-C bond formation leading to 6 has been elucidated in detail by studying the reaction of 5 with lutidinium tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate [LutH(+)B(ArF)(4)(-)], containing a weakly coordinating counteranion. The main kinetic product of this reaction, determined by (19)F{(1)H} HOESY studies at -50 degrees C, is the endo-CpIr(PMe(3))(anti-eta(3)-CH(2)CHCFCF(2)CF(3))[B(ArF)(4)] diastereomer 9, along with a small amount of the exo-syn-isomer 8. Isomer 9 rearranges at -20 degrees C to its exo-anti isomer 7, and subsequently to the thermodynamically favored exo-syn-isomer 8, which has been isolated and crystallographically characterized. Complex 8 reacts with iodide to afford complex6. On the basis of the unambiguously defined kinetically controlled stereochemistry of 9 and 8, a detailed mechanism for the C-F activation/C-C coupling reaction is proposed, the principal conclusion of which is that C-F activation is completely diastereoselective.

Platinum promoted insertion of an alkyne into a metal-hydrogen bond

HOs(CO)4SnPh3, 1 reacts with PhC2H in the presence to Pt(PBut3)2 to yield the alkyne insertion product PtOs(CO)4(SnPh3)(PBut3)[mu-HC2(H)Ph], 2 containing a Pt(PBut3)(CO) group coordinated to the osmium atom and the alkenyl ligand. In the absence of PhC2H, 1 reacts with Pt(PBut3)2 to form a Pt(PBut3) adduct, PtOs(CO)4(SnPh3)(PBut3)(mu-H), 3 at the Os-H bond. This adduct is readily transformed to 2 upon reaction with PhC2H. In the absence of the Pt(PBut3) promoter, PhC2H does not react with 1.     

Addition of AlkylHalide toward a Tungsten-Phosphorus Double Bond

The terminal phosphide complex of tungsten Cp(CO) 3 W{PN(Me)CH 2 CH 2 PNMe} ( 3 ) prepared from Cp(Sn n Bu 3 )(CO) 2 W{PN(Me)CH 2 CH 2 NMe(OMe)}, BF 3 ;OEt 2 , and NaBPh 4 in situ reacts with PhCH 2 Cl to give cis -Cp(CO 2 )ClW{PN(Me)CH 2 CH 2 NMe(CH 2 Ph)} ( cis-4 ). During the reaction, C--Cl bond addition takes place toward a tungsten-phosphorus double bond. In contrast, isolated 3 does not react with PhCH 2 Cl. Isolated 3 , however, reacts with PhCH 2 Cl in the presence of BPh 3 and BF 3 to give trans-4 and cis-4 , respectively.     

The role of ion-molecule pairs in solvolysis reactions. Nucleophilic addition of water to a tertiary allylic carbocation.

The acid-catalyzed solvolysis of 2-methoxy-2-phenyl-3-butene (1-OMe) in 9.09 vol % acetonitrile in water provides 2-hydroxy-2-phenyl-3-butene (1-OH) as the predominant product under kinetic control along with the rearranged alcohol 1-hydroxy-3-phenyl-2-butene (2-OH) and a small amount of the rearranged ether 2-OMe. The more stable isomer 2-OH is the predominant product after long reaction time, K(eq) = [2-OH](eq)/[1-OH](eq) = 16. The ether 2-OMe reacts to give 2-OH and a trace of 1-OH. Solvolysis of 1-OMe in (18)O-labeled water/acetonitrile shows complete incorporation of (18)O in the product 1-OH, confirming that the reaction involves cleavage of the carbon-oxygen bond to the allylic carbon. A completely solvent-equilibrated allylic carbocation is not formed since the solvolysis of the corresponding chloride 1-chloro-3-phenyl-2-butene (2-Cl) yields a larger fraction of 1-OH. This may be attributed to a shielding effect from the chloride leaving group. Quantum chemical calculations of the geometry and charge distribution show that the cation should rather be described as a vinyl-substituted benzyl cation than as an allyl cation, which is in accord with its higher reactivity at the tertiary carbon.

Stereochemical characteristics of the ammonia reaction with perfluoro-2-methyl-2-pentenethiocyanate-3: The defining role of the steric factor determined by geometric modeling

Geometric modeling has been used to analyze the stereochemical characteristics of the ammonia reaction with perfluoro-2-methyl-2-pentenethiocyanate-3. This reaction is stereospecific because it results in only one E stereoisomer of 2-aminoperfluoro-4,4-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-5-ethylidene-1,3-thiazole (3). It is shown that such stereospecificity is determined by a lower steric hindrance in the anion from which the E isomer is formed as compared to that in the anion from which a Z isomer would be formed. Strong steric hindrances associated with the amino group attached to a double bond exclude the heat-dependent cyclization of E-2,4-diaminoperfluoro-4-methyl-2-pentenethiocyanate-3 (4), which would result in the formation of a thiazole ring. The substitution of the fluorine atom at the double exocyclic bond in thiazoline E-3 by an amino group does not occur because of the electron destabilization of the transition state resulting from the repulsion of the unshared electron pairs of the carbanion and the sulphur atom .A.
