Cobalt-catalyzed low pressure double carbonylation of aryl and secondary benzyl halides

α-Ketoacids can be easily synthesized with satisfactory yields and selectivities by carbonylation of aryl halides and secondary benzyl halides under very mild conditions. The reactions are catalyzed by Co₂(CO)₈ in alcoholic solvents; the presence of a methyl source (dimethyl sulfate or methyl iodide) is necessary for the carbonylation of the aryl halides. Base, temperature and solvent have large effects on the course of the reaction.     

Frozen Friedel-Krafts Type Reaction of Phosphorus Halides with Tetraphenylborate Anion

Abstract

The Friedel-Krafts type reaction of phosphorus halides are well known and widely used in organic synthesis. Usually it requires catalyst and elevated temperature and spreads on the most electrophilic phosphorus halides.     

Reactions of Halogen Azides

Until recently, the explosive nature of halogen azides made these compounds unsuitable for preparative uses and greatly impeded investigation of their physical properties. Reactions of ClN₃ and BrN₃ with metal halides, metal carbonyls, and organometallic compounds to from metal azide halides, nitride halides, carbonyl azide halides, and alkylmetal azides were reported only very recently. The stability relationships of the halogen azides are discussed.     

Photochemistry of aryl halides: Photodissociation dynamics

In recent years, the photodissociation dynamics of aryl halides has been a subject of intensive studies, which is closely related to the atmospheric chemistry. Here we present a review on the photochemistry of aryl halides, with emphasis on the recent progress in photodissociation dynamics at 266 nm by using photofragment translational spectroscopy. The ab initio calculations have also been employed to investigate those photodissociation processes. It has been found that the photodissociation of aryl halides at 266 nm is attributed to the nonadiabatic process via intersystem crossings from bound singlet excited state to triplet excited state and/or via internal conversion from bound singlet excited state to ground state. Also, the substitution effects in the photodissociation dynamics of aryl halides are discussed.     

Contributions to the Mechanism of Isobutene Polymerization. VI. Effect of Halides

The effects of various allyl chlorides and alkyl halides on the overall yield of polymerization and molecular weight of polyisobutene have been investigated and expressed quantitatively by poison and transfer coefficients. The poison and transfer coefficients of halides have been compared with those obtained previously for corresponding hydorcarbons. The poison coefficients of halides and hydrocarbons can be treated formally in a similar manner (1/W_p vs. [X] plots linear for both classes); however, the appropriate transfer coefficients indicate fundamentally dissimilar transfer mechanisms in these systems (1/MW_p vs. [X] plots linear for hydrocarbons, whereas 1/MW_p vs. [X]^1/2 plots linear for halides). These results are discussed in terms of the allylic termination mechanism.     

Solid-state 207Pb NMR studies of mixed lead halides, PbFX (X=Cl, Br, or I)

Solid-state 207Pb NMR studies have been conducted on mixed lead(II) halides of the type PbFX, where X=Cl, Br, or I. NMR data for the mixed halides are compared to the solid-state NMR data for the divalent, binary lead halides, PbX2 (X=F, Cl, Br, I). The NMR data are evaluated in the context of the structures of the compounds and the effects of the mixed halides on the electronic structure of the divalent lead. Data sets for the mixed halides are discussed and compared to those for the regular lead(II) halides.     

Dimethyl selenide complexes of copper,gallium and indium halides as potential precursors for selenium-containing chalcopyrite semiconducting materials

The coordination chemistry of copper, gallium and indium halides with the simplest possible selenoether i.e. Me₂Se was investigated with the aim to use the resulting complexes as precursors for selenium-containing chalcopyrite semiconducting materials. An optimized general procedure for the high yield synthesis is described and the influence of a halide ion on the structure and solubility of these metal halide dimethyl selenide complexes are discussed. These complexes were characterized by the elemental analysis, FT-IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy as well as single crystal X-ray structures, the later study showing them to be monomeric for gallium halides, mono- or dimeric for indium halides and either an ion-pairs or 2-D extended structure in the case of copper halides.     

Reactions of organic halides with organometallic compounds and terminal acetylenes catalyzed by palladium complexes

The results of the investigation of the cross-coupling of organometallic compounds and terminal acetylenes with organic halides catalyzed by transition metal complexes are generalized and analyzed. The influence of different factors on the rate and selectivity of catalytic cross-coupling is discussed. A detailed mechanism of the cross-coupling of Grignard reagents with organic halides is suggested. The cross-coupling reaction involving organotin compounds proceeds under very mild conditions in the presence of a ligand-free Pd catalyst. Examples of using catalytic cross-coupling of organic halides with organomagnesium, organozinc, and organotin compounds are presented.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Stabilization energy of pyrrol and thiophene has been estimated.     

STUDY ON THE CATIONIC POLYMERIZATION OF 1, 3-PENTADIENE INITIATED BY AlCl_3/ALKYL HALIDE SYSTEMS

The cationic polymerizations of 1, 3-pentadiene were initiated by AlCl_3 in n-hexaneat 30℃ in the presence of alkyl halides, i.e., tert-butyl chloride, tert-butyl bromide andisobutyl chloride. The effects of these halides on the polymer yield, molecular weight,crosslinking reaction, cyclization and polymer microstructure, have been investigated. Twomain side reactions, crosslinking and cyclization, were suppressed and reduced by theaddition of the halides. The proportion of 1, 4 units of polymer chains was increasedby the presence of the halides, which reduced the polymer yield and the molecular weightof polymers.     

Chlor-fluor-austauschreaktionen mit antimonhalogeniden

The kinetics and mechanism of Cl-F exchange between C-Cl-containing compounds and antimony(V) halides are discussed. The reaction proceeds via the formation of fluorine bridges through an S_N mechanism. This contradicts the mechanism proposed by Booth and Swineheart [1]. Complex formation of different antimony halides in the system influences and sometimes inhibits the exchange. The role of other fluorinating agents together with antimony halides is described.     

Solvent extraction studies of phosphonium salts and their analytical applications : Differentiation of n- and isopropyl halides

A test is described for identification and differentiation of n-propyl and isopropyl halides. The halide is reacted with triphenylphosphine to form the phosphoniun salt, and thiocyanate and copper or cobalt solutions are added, Extraction of the colored precipitate into a suitable solvent indicates n-propyl halide whereas isopropyl halides yield unextractable products. The test is applicable to solutions of each halide in the corresponding alcohol as well as to mixtures of both halides.     

Synthesis of silyl,germyl, and phosphino-substituted acylketenes from pivaloylethoxyacetylene

The reaction of pivaloylethoxyacetylene with silicon halides, which has been found to occur as a 1,4-addition, leads to allenic ethers, which readily eliminate ethyl halides and are converted to previously unknown types of ketenes—stable element-substituted acylketenes. Germanium-substituted acylketenes are also formed; however, clear evidence of 1,4-addition of germanium halides was not obtained. In the reaction between Ph₂PCl and pivaloylethoxyacetylene, phosphorus (III) substituted acylketenes initially formed underwent rapid [3 + 3] cyclodimerization.     

Rapid Synthesis of Alkyloxy Porphyrins Under Microwave Irradiation

Alkyloxy porphyrins have been prepared by direct coupling of 5-para-hydroxyphenyl-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin and alkyl halides under microwave irradiation within several minutes. The length of the alkyl halides has no obvious effect on the yields and reaction time; however, the steric structure of the alkyl halides has a great impact on the reaction time. All the products were confirmed by ¹H NMR.

Enthalpy of interaction of some electrolytes with 2-methyl-2-butanol in wate at 25°C

Enthalpies of mixing in water of 2-methyl-2-butanol with several electrolytes (alkali-metal halides, tetra-n-alkylammonium bromides, Ph₄PCl, Ph₄AsCl and NaPh₄B) have been determined by flow microcalorimetry at 25°C. Enthalpic pair interaction coefficients, h_NE, of the virial expansion of the excess enthalpy were calculated. All coefficients are positive and increase as the anionic size increases in anionic series of alkali-metal halides. A linear correlation between h_NE and the number of carbon atoms in the apolar group of R₄NBr is observed. For alkali-metal halides coefficients h_NE depend mainly on the partial desolvation of halides, and for hydrophobic electrolytes both the partial desolvation of halide ions and hydrophobic interaction are the leading factors in the value of h_NE.     

Vaporization and thermal decomposition of transition metal salts in flameless atomic absorption spectrometry with a carbon tube atomizer

Vaporization and thermal decomposition of Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu salts were investigated by measuring the absorption spectra observed when aqueous solutions of these salts were heated in the carbon tube atomizer. Gaseous metal halides are vaporized in the atomizer at temperatures above 300–500° C. SO₂ and NO are produced by thermal decomposition of metal sulfates and nitrates, respectively. The vaporization of metal halides is also confirmed by the spectra for solutions of metals in hydrochloric acid and for mixtures of metal nitrates and ammonium halides.     

Hydrogenation of carbon monoxide in the presence of homogeneous ruthenium catalysts: effects of onium halides as promoters

The direct formation of ethylene glycol and ethanol from synthesis gas in the presence of a homogeneous ruthenium carbonyl catalyst is promoted by onium halides, such as ammonium, phosphonium and iminium halides. The catalytic activities for ethylene glycol and ethanol formation are dependent on the nature of the halides, and increase in the order I⁻ < Br⁻ < Cl⁻ and Cl⁻ < I⁻ ≤ Br⁻, respectively. The ruthenium catalyst in conjunction with (Ph₃P)₂NCl shows the highest activity for ethylene glycol formation. The catalytic activities are dependent on the electron-accepting abilities of the solvents. A moderate electron-accepting ability of the solvent is important for oxygenate formation.     

Molecular emission cavity analysis: stimulation of metal halide emissions

Some metal halides (Mn, Co, Ni, Pb and possibly Fe) emit metal(I) halide spectra from the MECA cavity in hydrogen-nitrogen-air flames, in contrast to their behaviour in conventional aspiration flame systems. However, the emission intensity is too weak to provide sensitive analytical applications. Indium halides give intense emissions by either the MECA or aspiration method. Halogenated organic compounds give intense CH and C₂ emissions. Cadmium halides give only an intense atomic emission. Sensitive methods for halides, indium, cadmium and organic compounds are thus possible. Mercury (II) halides and metal fluorides give no measurable emission in the cavity method.
