Kinetics of phenol oxidation with ozone in a thin layer on a solid surface

Ozone has been reacted with phenol in thin supported layers, and the dynamics of this reaction has been investigated. The stoichiometry of this reaction coincides with the stoichiometry of the same reaction in solution. Specific reaction rate (β) has been determined for various phenol conversions. The effective rate constant of the reaction, estimated by extrapolating β to zero reaction time, is significantly higher than the rate constant of the reaction in solution. The reaction between ozone and phenol is diffusion-controlled. The reaction products form a barrier layer, which protects the deeper phenol layers against ozone. The barrier layer is as thick as 8–15 phenol monolayers.

Copper-catalyzed enantioselective Henry reactions of alpha-keto esters: an easy entry to optically active beta-nitro-alpha-hydroxy esters and beta-amino-alpha-hydroxy esters

The catalytic enantioselective Henry reaction of alpha-keto esters with nitromethane has been developed. The reaction conditions have been optimized by the screening of different chiral Lewis acids, solvents, and bases, and it was found that the copper(II)-tert-butyl bisoxazoline complex in combination with triethylamine catalyzed a highly enantioselective reaction giving optically active beta-nitro-alpha-hydroxy esters in high yields and with excellent enantiomeric excesses. The scope of the reaction is demonstrated by the reaction of a variety of different alpha-keto esters. The catalytic enantioselective Henry reaction of beta,gamma-unsaturated-alpha-keto esters proceeds as a 1,2-addition reaction exclusively, in contrast to the uncatalyzed reaction where both the 1,2- and 1,4-addition products are formed. It is demonstrated that the beta-nitro-alpha-hydroxy esters can be converted into, e.g., Boc-protected beta-amino-alpha-hydroxy esters in high yields and without loss of optical purity. The mechanism for the reaction is discussed, and it is postulated that both the alpha-keto ester and nitromethane/nitronate is coordinated to the metal center during the reaction course.

Chemoselective Schmidt reaction mediated by triflic acid: selective synthesis of nitriles from aldehydes

An excellent utility of Schmidt reaction of aldehydes to access corresponding nitriles in an instantaneous reaction is demonstrated. The reaction of aldehydes with NaN(3) and TfOH furnishes the corresponding nitriles in near quantitative yields and tolerates a variety of electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents on the substrates. Formanilides, a common side product in Schmidt reaction, is not observed in this reaction. Besides these advantages, the salient feature of this reaction is that it exhibits a remarkable chemoselectivity, as acid and ketone functionalities are well tolerated under the reaction conditions. The reaction is easily scalable, high yielding, and nearly instantaneous.     

Diffusion and trapping in a suspension of spheres with simultaneous reaction in the continuous phase

Much progress has been made in modeling the reaction of Brownian particles with spherical traps. Previously, work has focused on the effective reaction rate of systems of particles that diffuse freely until they are trapped by spheres in the dispersion. A particularly effective and efficient method to describe the reacting system is based on first-passage time distributions, from which an effective reaction rate coefficient of the suspension can be determined. The analysis presented here addresses reaction and diffusion in systems in which particles can undergo reaction in the continuous phase as well as reaction at the sphere surface. The first-passage method is extended to allow reaction or decay of the diffusing species in the continuous phase. The diffusion path is divided into a series of first-passage regions and is considered the probability of the particle being consumed in each of these regions. This allows the determination of the total reaction rate of the suspension (continuous phase reaction plus trapping) and the relative consumption rate in each phase. The extended method is applied to a model system of concentric spheres with a known continuum solution. It is shown to be accurate for consumption of reactant in the continuous phase from approximately 0 to approximately 100%. The method then is applied to a suspension of spheres.

Impact of water on the OH + HOCl reaction

The effect of a single water molecule on the OH + HOCl reaction has been investigated. The naked reaction, the reaction without water, has two elementary reaction paths, depending on how the hydroxyl radical approaches the HOCl molecule. In both cases, the reaction begins with the formation of prereactive hydrogen bond complexes before the abstraction of the hydrogen by the hydroxyl radical. When water is added, the products of the reaction do not change, and the reaction becomes quite complex yielding six different reaction paths. Interestingly, a geometrical rearrangement occurs in the prereactive hydrogen bonded region, which prepares the HOCl moiety to react with the hydroxyl radical. The rate constant for the reaction without water is computed to be 2.2 × 10(-13) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) at room temperature, which is in good agreement with experimental values. The reaction between ClOH···H(2)O and OH is estimated to be slower than the naked reaction by 4-5 orders of magnitude. Although, the reaction between ClOH and the H(2)O···HO complex is also predicted to be slower, it is up to 2.2 times faster than the naked reaction at altitudes below 6 km. Another intriguing finding of this work is an interesting three-body interchange reaction that can occur, that is HOCl + HO···H(2)O → HOCl···H(2)O + OH.

Thermolysis of polyethylene hydroperoxides in the melt, Part 12: Mechanisms and kinetics of thermolysis

The thermolysis of polyethylene hydroperoxides is attributed to the reaction of two hydroperoxide groups. This bimolecular reaction appears as a first-order reaction with the mean values of the hydroperoxide concentrations that can be used for the experimental verification of the kinetics. In low molecular mass liquids and solutions these findings would be irreconcilable. However, in polymer melts, this contradiction is more apparent than real. It is a consequence of the heterogeneous kinetics valid in polymer melts. The bimolecular reaction involves the decomposition of pairs of hydroperoxide groups that are relatively close in the elementary oxidation volumes. By diffusion these hydroperoxide groups can come close enough for reaction. From the chemical point of view the decomposition is a bimolecular reaction. However, from the kinetic point of view it is a first-order reaction of the hydroperoxide pairs. The dependency of the first-order rate on the initial hydroperoxide concentration is explained by the heterogeneous kinetics. The activation energy of the overall process can be related to the sum of the activation energies pertaining to the chemical reaction and to the diffusion process.     

Kinetics of the metal-exchange reaction of deuteroporphyrin and gematoporphyrin cadmium complexes with cobalt chloride in acetonitrile

The metal-exchange reaction of cadmium deuteroporphyrin (CdDP) and cadmium gematoporphyrin (CdGP) with cobalt chloride in acetonitrile is studied spectrophotometrically. The stoichiometry of the metal-exchange reaction is determined. The results are compared with the exchange reaction of cadmium mesoporphyrin and cadmium protoporphyrin with cobalt acetate in acetonitrile. Substituents in the 2,4-positions of cadmium complexes of protoporphyrins are shown to influence the rate of the metal-exchange reaction. The increasing order of the rates of the metal-exchange reaction between protoporphyrins and cobalt chloride in acetonitrile is established.     

H+NH3反应势能面的量子化学研究

本文采用UCCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ方法研究了H NH3反应势能面,获得了夺氢反应和交换反应过渡态的的几何结构和振动频率。夺氢反应的过渡态具有Cs对称性,其能垒为61.92 kJ/mol。交换反应的过渡态具有C3v对称性,其能垒为39.69 kJ/mol。H NH3发生形成Td对称性的反应中间体NH4里德堡自由基。与夺氢反应相比,交换反应具有更低的反应能垒,并且NH4自由基在反应中可形成长寿命的共振态,和夺氢反应形成竞争关系,因此在H NH3反应的量子动力学研究中必须同时考虑这两类反应。本文还采用更大的基组aug-cc-pVQZ和aug-cc-pV5Z研究了势能面对基组的收敛行为。

Feedback Kinetics in Mechanochemistry: The Importance of Cohesive States

Although mechanochemical synthesis is becoming more widely applied and even commercialised, greater basic understanding is needed if the field is to progress on less of a trial‐and‐error basis. We report that a mechanochemical reaction in a ball mill exhibits unusual sigmoidal feedback kinetics that differ dramatically from the simple first‐order kinetics for the same reaction in solution. An induction period is followed by a rapid increase in reaction rate before the rate decreases again as the reaction goes to completion. The origin of these unusual kinetics is found to be a feedback cycle involving both chemical and mechanical factors. During the reaction the physical form of the reaction mixture changes from a powder to a cohesive rubber‐like state, and this results in the observed reaction rate increase. The study reveals that non‐obvious and dynamic rheological changes in the reaction mixture must be appreciated to understand how mechanochemical reactions progress.     

Poly(vinyl chloride) stabilization with organo-tin compounds: Part VII—Dibutyl tin maleate: Model compound studies

The reaction between dibutyl tin maleate or dibutyl tin bisbutylmaleate and chlorohexene as a model compound for allylic chloride in PVC was studied at 80°C in dichlorobutane solution. From kinetic studies by gas chromatographic analysis of the reaction medium, and also spectroscopic data (infra-red and ¹H NMR) it may be concluded that the main reaction is the substitution reaction which produces mono- and dihexenyl esters, as well as mixed diesters of maleic acid. The elimination reaction plays a minor rôle. Both activities are related to their Lewis acidities. The Diels-Alder condensation between maleates and hexadiene is not observed as a side reaction in these conditions; the main side reaction is the decomposition of monoesters of maleic acid (which is produced by the elimination reaction after one or two steps) into an alcohol and maleic anhydride—a reaction which can be catalysed by organo-tin chlorides. A Diels-Alder reaction between maleic anhydride and hexadiene takes place. The alcohol produced in the side reaction mentioned above may take part in a transesterification reaction with the organo-tin maleate and that reaction probably provides the best explanation of the earlier observation of Frye et al.,¹ according to which there is at least temporary retention of reactivity of tin labelled organo-tin maleate by PVC.     

Catalytic effect of copper on the hexacyanoferrate(III)-cyanide redox reaction-I The uncatalysed and catalysed reactions

A kinetic study of the hexacyanoferrate(III)-cyanide redox reaction has been made in connection with development of a new catalytic method for copper. The reaction kinetics change with time from first- to second-order dependence with respect to hexacyanoferrate(III). The reaction is nearly inverse first-order with respect to hexacyanoferrate(II) and first-order with respect to cyanide. The reaction shows a strong positive primary salt effect, but a very small increase in the reaction rate with temperature is found. A parallel reaction proceeds with a first-order dependence with respect to hydroxide. A tentative mechanism is proposed for the first reaction, involving the formation of cyanogen radicals. The second reaction corresponds to the well-known decomposition of hexacyanoferrate(III) in alkaline medium. The catalysed reaction exhibits similar kinetics with respect to hexacyanoferrate(II) and (III) but is zero-order with respect to cyanide and hydroxide and first-order with respect to catalyst. The proposed mechanism involves two consecutive interactions of the hexacyanoferrate(III) with copper(I) and with copper(II) cyanide complexes respectively, followed by a 2-electron oxidation of a co-ordinatively bridging cyanide group.     

Kinetic Method by Using Calorimetry to Mechanism of Epoxy-amine Cure Reaction

Using calorimetric method to reaction kinetics in solventless system, the quantitative aspects of the epoxy ring opening in the reaction between phenyl glycidyl ether and aniline have been discussed. Using the Mangelsdorf method we have found that this reaction system gives fairly clean kinetics through whole process. The kinetic picture of this reaction system is akin to diepoxy-diamine cure mechanism. It was detected kinetically, apart from exothermic effect of the reaction of the epoxy ring opening, the existence another exothermic process at the last stages of the reaction. The latter also contributes to the total heat. The contribution of this thermal effect to the total heat is found to be dependent on the reactant ratio. The data for the reaction between phenyl glycidyl ether and aniline could not be fitted well if uncatalyzed mechanism was ignored. Thus, the reaction of epoxy ring opening by aniline occurs by two concurrent pathways: one is uncatalyzed and the other, the main, is autocatalyzed.
