Evaluating the solvation properties of functionalized ionic liquids with varied cation/anion composition using the solvation parameter model

Ionic liquids (ILs) are promising gas chromatography (GC) stationary phases due to their high thermal stability, negligible vapor pressure, and ability to solvate a broad range of analytes. The tunability of ILs allows for structure modification in pursuit of enhanced separation selectivity and control of analyte elution order. In this study, the solvation parameter model is used to characterize the solvation interactions of fifteen ILs containing various cationic functional groups (i.e., dimethylamino, hydroxyl, and ether) and cation types paired with various counter anions, namely, tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate (FAP(-)), bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide (NTf(2)(-)), thiocyanate (SCN(-)), tricyanomethide (C(CN)(3)(-)), tetracyanoborate (B(CN)(4)(-)), and bis[oxalate(2-)]borate (BOB(-)). The presence of functional groups affected the hydrogen bond basicity, hydrogen bond acidity, as well as dispersion interactions of the resulting ILs, while the change of cation type yielded modest influence on the dipolarity. The switch of counter anions in unfunctionalized ILs produced compounds with higher dipolarity and hydrogen bond basicity. The dipolarity and hydrogen bond basicity of ILs possessing cyano-containing anions appeared to be inversely proportional to the cyano content of the anion. The modification of IL structure resulted in a significant effect on the retention behavior as well as separation selectivity for many solutes, including reversed elution orders of some analytes. This study provides one of the most comprehensive examinations up-to-date on the relation between IL structure and the resulting solvation characteristics and gives tremendous insight into choosing suitable ILs as GC stationary phases for solute specific separations.     

The reactions of some halogenated pyridines with methoxide and methanethiolate ions in dimethylformamide

The reactions of 2,6- and 2,5-dibromopyridines and of 2,3- and 3,5-dichloropyridines with sodium isopropanethiolate and methanethiolate afforded the products of mono- or of bis-substitution depending on the experimental conditions. The same pyridines reacted with sodium methoxide to give good yields of the mono-substituted products; bis-substitution occurred easily only in the case of the 2,6-dibromo- and of the 3,5-dichloropyridine. The syntheses of some methoxy thiomethoxypyridine, starting from the halogeno methoxypyridines or from the halogeno thiomethoxypyhdines are also described. The bis-(alkylthio)pyridines can be fragmented by sodium in HMPA to give the bis(mercapto)pyridines.     

Catalytic Selective Dihydrosilylation of Internal Alkynes Enabled by Rare-Earth Ate Complex

Hydrosilylation of alkynes generally yield vinylsilanes, which are inert to the further hydrosilylation because of the steric effects. Reported here is the first successful dihydrosilylation of aryl- and silyl-substituted internal alkynes enabled by a rare-earth ate complex to yield geminal bis- and tris(silanes), respectively. The lanthanum bis(amido) ate complex supported by an ene-diamido ligand proved to be the ideal catalyst for this unprecedented transformation, while the same series of yttrium and samarium alkyl and samarium bis(amido) ate complexes exhibited poor activity and selectivity, indicating significant effects of the ionic size and ate structure of the rare-earth catalysts.     

Selective cleavage of the carbon-sulphur and carbon-oxygen bonds in methoxythioanisoles

Selective cleavage of thioether of ether functions in methoxythioanisoles in hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) with sodium gives methoxythiophenols by cleavage of the carbon-sulphur bond. Reactions with sodium isopropanethiolate give instead the thiomethoxyphenols by dealkylation of the methoxy function. When the methoxythioanisoles were treated first with sodium isopropanethiolate and then with sodium complete dealkylation was achieved with formation of mercaptophenols. The present methods have considerable advantages over existing procedures for the synthesis of methoxythiophenols, thiomethoxyphenols and mercaptophenols. The mechanistic implications of the reactions investigated are also discussed.     

Regioselective alkylation reactions of 2,4-diphenyl-3H-1-benzazepine give either 3-alkyl-3H-1-benzazepines or 1-alkyl-1H-1-benzazepines

2,4-Diphenyl-3H-1-benzazepine is deprotonated with either LDA or KHMDS. The resulting anion is alkylated with alkyl halides or MeOTs, giving either products of alkylation at C3, or at N, or a mixture of both. The regioselectivity depends on the base, presence of the complexing agent HMPA, and the leaving group of the alkylating agent. Using MeI as alkylating agent gives exclusively the C3-methylated product, while using MeOTs gives exclusively the N-methylated product. The N-alkylated products show evidence of stereodynamic behavior in their NMR spectra.     

Phthalocyanines and related compounds: XLV. Nucleophilic substitution of chlorine in tetrachlorophthalonitrile: Synthesis of aryloxy-aubstituted phthalonitriles and phthalocyanines derived from them

Nucleophilic substitution of chlorine in tetrachlorophthalonitrile by the reaction with aryloxy anions is studied. Depending on the reactant ratio, the products of substitution of one, two, and/or three chlorine atoms are formed. Their tetramerization gives aryloxychloro-substituted phthalocyanines having the absorption band in the near-IR range.     

Photocatalytic Degradation of Ethyl tert‐Butyl Ether in Aqueous Solution Mediated by TiO2 Suspensions: Parameter and Reaction Pathway Investigations

Degradation of ethyl tert‐butyl ether (ETBE) with UV/TiO₂ was studied by solid‐phase microextraction and gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry. The complete removal of 0.1 g L^?1 of ETBE was achieved after 20 h of treatment. Factors such as pH of the system, catalyst and substrate concentration, and the presence of anions influenced the degradation rate. Establishment of the degradation pathway was made possible by a thorough analysis of the reaction mixture, which identified the main intermediate products generated. The possible degradation pathways were proposed and discussed in this research. The attack on the C–H bond in ETBE by ·OH forms an alkyl radical, which consequently produces a peroxyl radical upon reaction with oxygen. Peroxyl radicals react with one another and produce an alkoxy radical. The β‐bond fragmentation of the alkoxy radical produces different intermediates.     

Synthesis and Reactivity of Fluoroalkyl Copper Complexes by the Oxycupration of Tetrafluoroethylene

The copper(I)‐mediated generation of ‐OCF₂CF₂‐ moieties by the oxycupration of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) using either copper aryloxides or alkoxides is disclosed. The key intermediates, 2‐aryloxy‐1,1,2,2‐tetrafluoroethyl and 2‐alkoxy‐1,1,2,2‐tetrafluoroethyl copper complexes, were obtained from the reaction of the corresponding aryloxy and alkoxy copper complexes with TFE, and their structures in solution and in the solid state were unambiguously determined by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction analysis. These copper complexes subsequently reacted with aryl iodides (ArI) to afford ROCF₂CF₂Ar (R=aryl or alkyl) in high yields.     

Hydrogen bonding and sodium coordination in the crystal structure of tetrasodium (3-((2,4-dinitrophenyl)amino)-1-hydroxypropane-1,1-diyl)-bis-phosphonate pentahydrate – a N-substituted Pamidronate

The reaction of 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene with (3-amino-1-hydroxypropane-1,1-diyl)bis(phosphonic acid) (pamidronic acid) 1a in combination with NAOH leads to disodium (3-((2,4-dinitrophenyl)amino)-1-hydroxy-propane-1,1-diyl)bis(phosphonate) heptahydrate 2 and further to tetrasodium (3-((2,4-dinitrophenyl)amino)-1-hydroxy-propane-1,1-diyl)bis(phosphonate) pentahydrate 3. The crystal structure of 3 is composed of the organic anion, which is coordinated to the sodium counter cations and furthermore is involved in hydrogen bonds. The 2,4-dinitrophenyl moiety gives rise to π–π connected hydrophobic layers. The hydrophilic moiety of the anions, sodium cations and water molecules form a hydrophilic layer. The individual conformation of this N-substituted pamidronate anion is a compromise between its geometric limitations and the intermolecular interactions with sodium and the water molecules.     

Phenyl trifluorovinyl sulfide: a radical acceptor for preparation of gem-difluoromethylene compounds

Phenyl trifluorovinyl sulfide was prepared from the reaction of trifluorovinyllithium and S-phenyl benzenethiosulfonate. The fluorinated olefin showed reactivity with alkyl radicals generated from halogen-abstraction from alkyl halides. Reactions with alkyl halides required tris(trimethylsilyl)silane as a chain transfer reagent to improve selectivity of the products. Initiation of radical reaction was effected by thermal decomposition of AIBN. Oxidation of the thioether products gave the corresponding sulfoxides, which were successively converted into α,α-difluoroalkanecarboxylic acid thiol esters by Pummerer reaction.     

Reductive Activation of Arenes: XV. Anionic Products of m-Tolynitrile Reduction with Sodium in Liquid Ammonia, and Their Alkylation

From results of oxidation, protonation, and alkylation of the products arising in one- or two- electron reduction of m-tolunitrile with sodium in liquid ammonia followed a conclusion that these products are respectively anion-radical of the compound and 3-methyl-1-cyano-2,5-cyclohexadienyl anion. The reaction of both reduction products with alkyl halides gives rise to compounds of ipso-alkylation with respect to cyano group: the corresponding alkyltoluenes and 1-alkyl-3-methyl-1-cyclohexadienes. The ratio of these products depends on the structure of alkyl halide. The possibility to prepare selectively m-alkyltoluenes by reaction of the product of two-electron reduction of m-tolunitrile with alkyl halides was demonstrated.     

Synthesis of α‐phosphonylated phosphonium and sulfonium ylides: Study of their thermal behavior

The additions of two equivalents of trialkylphosphites onto phosphonodithioformates produce stabilized α‐sulfanyl‐α‐phosphonyl phosphonium ylides. Their subsequent reaction with alkyl or benzyl halides gives stabilized sulfonium ylides. Thermal treatment of these phosphonium and sulfonium ylides leads to α‐sulfanyl methylene bis‐phosphonates through protonation–dealkylation intramolecular reactions. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Nucleophilic Substitution at Tricoordinate Sulfur—Alkaline Hydrolysis of Optically Active Dialkoxysulfonium Salts: Stereochemistry,Mechanism and Reaction Energetics

Optically active dialkoxyisopropylsulfonium salts were obtained by methylation (ethylation) of optically active alkyl isopropanesulfinates using methyl (ethyl) trifluoromethanesulfonate. Alkaline hydrolysis of a series of methoxy(alkoxy)sulfonium salts afforded the two sulfinate products methyl isopropanesulfinate and alkyl isopropanesulfinate, both formed with a slightly prevailing inversion of configuration at the sulfur atom. DFT calculations revealed that this substitution reaction proceeded stepwise according to an addition-elimination (A–E) mechanism involving the formation of high tetracoordinate S^IV sulfurane intermediates. In addition, the DFT calculations showed that recombination of the hydroxy anion with the methoxy(alkoxy)sulfonium cation—leading to the parallel formation of the two most stable primary sulfuranes, with the hydroxy and alkoxy groups in apical positions and their direct decomposition—is the most energetically favorable pathway.     

Generation and reactions of novel oxiranyl ‘Remote’ anions

Deprotonation of an oxiranyl β-proton takes place in a stereoselective manner providing the corresponding oxiranyl ‘remote’ anion. The anion is stabilized by chelation between the lithium and the carbonyl moiety of an ester, lactone, imide, or keto-group in the form of a five-membered cyclic intermediate. Certain ester-stabilized oxiranyl anions are stable and can be left in THF solution at −78°C for several hours. The generated anions undergo a stereoselective alkylation reaction to provide products, which could be useful intermediates in the synthesis of bioactive naturally occurring α-methylene bis-γ-butyrolactones.     

Stepwise vs. concerted pathways in scandium ion-coupled electron transfer from superoxide ion to p-benzoquinone derivatives

Superoxide ion (O2˙-) forms a stable 1 : 1 complex with scandium hexamethylphosphoric triamide complex [Sc(HMPA)(3)(3+)], which can be detected in solution by ESR spectroscopy. Electron transfer from O2˙- -Sc(HMPA)(3)(3+) complex to a series of p-benzoquinone derivatives occurs, accompanied by binding of Sc(HMPA)(3)(3+) to the corresponding semiquinone radical anion complex to produce the semiquinone radical anion-Sc(HMPA)(3)(3+) complexes. The 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 complexes between semiquinone radical anions and Sc(HMPA)(3)(3+) depending on the type of semiquinone radical anions were detected by ESR measurements. This is defined as Sc(HMPA)(3)(3+)-coupled electron transfer. There are two reaction pathways in the Sc(HMPA)(3)(3+)-coupled electron transfer. One is a stepwise pathway in which the binding of Sc(HMPA)(3)(3+) to semiquinone radical anions occurs after the electron transfer, when the rate of electron transfer remains constant with the change in concentration of Sc(HMPA)(3)(3+). The other is a concerted pathway in which electron transfer and the binding of Sc(HMPA)(3)(3+) occurs in a concerted manner, when the rates of electron transfer exhibit first-order and second-order dependence on the concentration of Sc(HMPA)(3)(3+) depending the number of Sc(HMPA)(3)(3+) (one and two) bound to semiquinone radical anions. The contribution of two pathways changes depending on the substituents on p-benzoquinone derivatives. The present study provides the first example to clarify the kinetics and mechanism of metal ion-coupled electron-transfer reactions of the superoxide ion.     

Conversion of anisole in the presence of methanol over AlPO4?Al2O3 catalysts modified with fluoride and sulfate anions

The gas-phase microcatalytic conversion of anisole in the presence of methanol (methanol/anisole molar ratio=4) was studied at temperatures ranging from 523 to 673 K over anion treated (1–3 wt.% F or SO ₄ ^2– ) AlPO₄–Al₂O₃ (25 wt.% Al₂O₃) catalysts. Anisole conversion gave a mixture of dealkylated and C-alkylated products (C-alkylation preferentially in ortho-position) where dealkylation always predominates. The influences of the reaction temperature and both anion type and anion loading upon the conversion of anisole and the selectivities of the products were investigated. The higher increase in surface acidity by fluoride loading increases both the C-alkylation selectivity (mainly to 2-methylanisole) and dealkylation to phenol; so that a lower anisole conversion (smaller pseudokinetic constant) and higher methylanisoles selectivity is found for APAI-P-F catalysts related to unmodified one.     

A quinoline based bis-urea receptor for anions: a selective receptor for hydrogen sulfate

A dipodal bis-urea receptor has been synthesized from the reaction of 8-amino quinoline and 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate in dichloromethane, and the anion binding ability of the receptor has been studied using fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, perchlorate, nitrate, dihydrogen phosphate and hydrogen sulfate by UV-Vis titrations in DMSO. The results show that the receptor binds each of the anions with a 1:1 stoichiometry, showing high affinity and moderate selectivity for hydrogen sulfate among the anions studied. Ab initio calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) suggest that an anion (X(-)) is bonded within the cleft formed by the two arms of the receptor through two NH...X(-) and two aromatic CH...X(-) interactions. The results from solution and theoretical studies suggest that binding is predominantly influenced by hydrogen bonding interactions and the basicity of anions.     

Zwitterion radicals and anion radicals from electron transfer and solvent condensation with the fingerprint developing agent ninhydrin.

Ninhydrin (the fingerprint developing agent) spontaneously dehydrates in liquid ammonia and in hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) to form indantrione, which has a sufficiently large solution electron affinity to extract an electron from the solvent (HMPA) to produce the indantrione anion radical. In liquid NH(3), the presence of trace amounts of amide ion causes the spontaneous formation of an anion radical condensation product, wherein the no. 2 carbon (originally a carbonyl carbon) becomes substituted with -NH(2) and -OH groups. In HMPA, the indantrione anion radical spontaneously forms condensation products with the HMPA to produce a variety of zwitterionic radicals, wherein the no. 2 carbon becomes directly attached to a nitrogen of the HMPA. The mechanisms for the formation of the zwitterionic paramagnetic condensation products are analogous to that observed in the reaction of ninhydrin with amino acids to yield Ruhemann's Purple, the contrast product in fingerprint development. The formation of anion and zwitterionic radical condensation products from ninhydrin and nitrogen-containing solvents may represent an example of a host of analogous polyketone-solvent reactions.     

Thiophene chemistry—XXII : Some reactions of benzo[b]thiophene-2(3H)one

Benzo[b]thiophene-2(3H)one has been prepared from 2-t-butoxybenzo[b]thiophene by dealkylation. Alkylation of sodium, thallium and tetrabutylammonium salts of benzo[b]thiophene-2(3H)one produces both C- and O-alkylation along with products due to ring-opening. At elevated temperatures benzo[b]thiophene-2(3H)one reacts with HMPA (hexamethylphosphorictriamide) to give 2-dimethylaminobenzo[b]thiophene. Other 2-aminobenzo[b]thiophenes are produced by refluxing benzo[b]thiophene-2(3H)one in HMPA in the presence of excess of the corresponding amine.
