Lithium ion phase-transfer reaction at the interface between the lithium manganese oxide electrode and the nonaqueous electrolyte

The lithium ion phase-transfer reaction between the spinel lithium manganese oxide electrode and a nonaqueous electrolyte was investigated by the ac impedance spectroscopic method. The dependence of the impedance spectra on the electrochemical potential of the lithium ion in the electrode, the lithium salt concentration in the electrolyte, the kind of solvent, and the measured temperature were examined. Nyquist plots, obtained from the impedance measurements, consist of two semicircles for high and medium frequency and warburg impedance for low frequency, indicating that the reaction process of two main steps for high and medium frequency obey the Butler-Volmer type equation and could be related to the charge-transfer reaction process accompanied with lithium ion phase-transfer at the interface. The dependency on the solvent suggests that both steps in the lithium ion phase-transfer at the electrode/electrolyte interface include the desolvation process and have high activation barriers.     

Novel catalytic effects in ester aminolysis in chlorobenzene

The mechanism of glyme catalyzed ester aminolysis in chlorobenzene should be modified by including a new reaction pathway that shows a first-order dependence on the concentration of the phase transfer catalyst and a second-order dependence on butylamine.     

Phase-transfer agents as catalysts for a nucleophilic substitution reaction in microemulsions

The reaction between 4-tert-butylbenzyl bromide and potassium iodide was carried out in microemulsions based on different nonionic surfactants, and the reaction rates were compared with those obtained in two-phase systems with added phase-transfer agent, either a quaternary ammonium salt or a crown ether. The reactions were relatively fast in the microemulsions and extremely sluggish in the two-phase systems without additional phase-transfer agent. Addition of a phase-transfer agent did not accelerate the reaction when a hydrocarbon was used as organic solvent, neither in the two-phase system nor in the microemulsion. When a chlorinated hydrocarbon was used as solvent, phase-transfer catalysis became effective and the rate obtained in the two-phase system with an equimolar amount of phase-transfer agent added was higher than that obtained in the microemulsion. When a catalytic amount of phase-transfer agent was used, the rate in the two-phase system was about the same as the rate obtained in the microemulsion without the phase-transfer agent. The combined approach, that is, use of a microemulsion as the reaction medium and addition of a phase-transfer agent, gave the highest reaction rate. The quaternary ammonium salt (tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate) was a more efficient catalyst in the microemulsion system than the crown ether ([18]crown-6).

Asymmetric ring opening of meso epoxides with TMSCN catalyzed by (pybox)lanthanide complexes

The asymmetric ring opening of meso epoxides with TMSCN is catalyzed by (pybox)YbCl3 complexes, yielding the beta-trimethylsilyloxy nitrile ring-opened products with good enantioselectivities (83-92% ee). The reaction exhibits a second-order kinetic dependence on catalyst concentration and a first-order dependence on epoxide concentration, consistent with a bimetallic pathway involving simultaneous activation of epoxide and cyanide.     

The Effect of Iodide Ion in Phase-Transfer Catalytic Syntheses of Benzyl Esters

In order to examine the effect of iodide ions on reaction catalyzed by phase-transfer technique, we made kinetic studies, under the influence of added Na1, on the synthesis of benzyl esters from benzyl chloride and sodium carboxylate. These carboxylates include sodium acetate, sodium benzoate, sodium salicylate and sodium formate; the catalyst was a quaternary ammonium salt. The results reveal that iodide ions at a suitable concentration accelerate the reaction, whereas iodide ions in excess poison the catalyst. The optimum concentration varies with the reaction system. This critical concentration depends upon the distribution coefficient of the intermediates formed in the reactions.     

聚合物固载化聚乙二醇季胺盐型相转移催化剂的结构与催化活性

The gelatinous and macroporous phase transfer catalysts with multiple active centers were synthesized by means of quarterisation of PEG tertiary amine and chloromethylated St DVB copolymer. They were examined as phase transfer catalysts in the reaction of n C 8H 17 Br with solid NaI. The experimental results showed that the reaction rate was first order with respect to the concentration of n C 8H 17 Br. The effects of catalyst structure on the catalytic activity were also investigated. The observed reaction rate constant ( k obsd ) increased as the degree of cross linking of polymer decreased. Macroporous catalysts showed a higher activity (2～2 5 times) than that of microporous catalysts with the same degree of cross linking of polymer, particle size and amount of supported PEG. Molecular weight of PEG also showed much influence on k obsd . As molecular weight of PEG rose properly, the catalysts showed a higher activity. The results were discussed from the aspect of triphase catalysis reaction mechanism.     

Organocatalytic asymmetric destruction of 1-benzylated Reissert compounds catalysed by quaternary cinchona alkaloids

The enantiomeric enrichment of racemic 1-benzylated Reissert compounds under organocatalytic biphasic conditions is presented. The enrichment is the consequence of an asymmetric destruction of the racemic compounds resulting in the formation of the corresponding 1-benzylated isoquinolines. The highest selectivity has been achieved using quaternary cinchona alkaloids as phase-transfer catalysts. The resolution of a number of racemic 1-benzylated Reissert compounds reveals a significant substrate dependence and a proposal for the mechanism of the reaction is presented.     

Asymmetric phase-transfer reactions under base-free neutral conditions

Although quaternary onium salt-catalyzed phase-transfer reactions are generally believed to require base additives, we discovered even without any base additives conjugate additions of 3-substituted oxindoles proceeded smoothly in the presence of lipophilic quaternary onium bromide under water-organic biphasic conditions. The mechanism of this novel base-free neutral phase-transfer reaction system was investigated, and the assumed catalytic cycle was presented together with interesting effects of water and lipophilicity of the phase-transfer catalyst. The base-free neutral phase-transfer reaction system could be applied to highly enantioselective conjugate additions, aldol reaction, sulfenylation, and chlorination under the influence of chiral bifunctional onium bromides as key catalysts.

Nitroso group transfer in s-nitrosocysteine: evidence of a new decomposition pathway for nitrosothiols

The rate of S-nitrosocysteine decomposition in a pH range between 0.7 < pH < 13 exhibits first- and second-order dependence on total cysteine concentration. The second-order term is only observed for pH values between 6.9 < pH < 12. Both first- and second-order terms show a complex dependence on the acidity of the medium. They increase with increasing pH, reaching a maximum value around pH = 8 and then decrease with further increase in pH. An analysis of the reaction products reveals the absence of nitrite ion and ammonia. No evidence of catalysis by copper ions is observed. These results suggest the existence of a new decomposition pathway for S-nitrosocysteine, which proceeds via an intramolecular nitroso group transfer producing a primary N-nitrosamine that decomposes rapidly to give the corresponding diazonium salt. The nitroso group transfer reaction occurs intermolecularly for the decomposition pathway exhibiting a quadratic dependence on cysteine concentration. Both nitroso group transfer pathways are subject to acid catalysis by cysteine. Kinetic results indicate that the extent of S...NO bond cleavage in the transition state is ahead of protonation of the AH...S sulfur atom. The results obtained show the existence of a new decomposition pathway for the S-nitrosocysteine where NO is not released, and hence, it has a significant biological impact due to the potential use of nitrosothiols as NO donors.     

The effect of cyclodextrins on the hydrolysis of carboxylic acid esters

Cyclodextrins and their derivatives act as inverse phase-transfer catalysts in the hydrolysis of carboxylic acid esters. The reaction is affected by temperature, choice of cyclodextrin and also by the stirring rate. Lipophilic esters are better hydrolyzed under inverse phase-transfer catalysis conditions than under classic phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) conditions. Some typical features of the reaction are emphasized and compared with classical PTC reactions.

A three-variable model for the explanation of the "supercatalytic" effect of hydrogen ion in the chlorite-tetrathionate reaction

It has been shown that not only the slow direct but also the indirect (HOCl-catalyzed) reaction between chlorite and tetrathionate ions is second order with respect to hydrogen ion. Since the direct reaction was found to be orders of magnitude slower than the parallel HOCl-catalyzed pathway, a three-variable model is derived from the previously published five-step model taking into account the experimentally determined H+ concentration dependence of its rate coefficients by neglecting the direct reaction. The new three-variable model indicates that the "supercatalytic" effect of the hydrogen ion in the HOCl-catalyzed pathway arises from the pH dependence of the individual reactions of the five-step model. The new three-variable model also accounts for the continuous change of the stoichiometric ratio of the reactants and provides a simple kinetic law for involving it in the partial differential equation systems widely used in the study of spatiotemporal behavior of the chlorite-tetrathionate reaction.
