Kinetic Investigation of the Reaction between Triphenylphosphine,Dialkyl Acetylenedicarboxylate,and Carbazole by the UV Spectrophotometry Technique

The major objectives of the work undertaken were to carry out kinetic studies of the reaction between triphenylphosphine and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate in the presence of strong NH-acids, such as carbazole. To determine the kinetic parameters of the reaction, it was monitored by the UV spectrophotometer technique. The values of the second order rate constant (k ₂ ) were automatically calculated using standard equations within the program when the second order fits of the mentioned reactions were automatically drawn by the software associated with a Cary UV spectrophotometer model Bio-300 at an appropriate wavelength. At the temperature range studied, the dependence of the second order rate constant (Ln k) on reciprocal temperature was in agreement with the Arrhenius equation. This provided the relevant plots to calculate the activation energy of all reactions. Furthermore, useful information was obtained from studies of the effect of solvent and different alkyl groups within the dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates on the rate of reactions.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of the Reactions Between Triphenylphosphine,Dialkyl Acetylenedicarboxilates and a NH-Acid,Pyrazole, by UV Spectrophotometry

Kinetic studies were made of the reactions between triphenylphosphine and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in the presence of a NH-acid such as pyrazole. To determine the kinetic parameters of the reactions, the reaction progress was monitored by UV spectrophotometry. The second-order fits were automatically drawn and the values of the second-order rate constant (k ₂) were automatically calculated using standard equations. In the temperature range studied, the dependence of ln k ₂ on the reciprocal temperature was consistent with the Arrhenius equation. Furthermore, useful information was obtained from studies of the effect of solvent, structure of the reactants (different alkyl groups within the dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates), and also the concentration of reactants on the rate of reaction. The mechanism was confirmed to involve a steady-state condition with the first step of the reaction being the rate-determining step.     

Chemoselective Synthesis of Stable Phosphorus Ylides from 6-Azauracil and Mechanistic Investigation of the Reaction by UV Spectrophotometry

Stable crystalline phosphorus ylides were obtained in excellent yields from the 1:1:1 addition reaction between triphenylphosphine and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, in the presence of NH-acids such as 6-azauracil. These stable ylides exist in solution as a mixture of two geometrical isomers as a result of restricted rotation around the carbon–carbon partial double bond resulting from conjugation of the ylide moiety with the adjacent carbonyl group. To determine the kinetic parameters of the reactions, they were monitored by UV spectrophotometry. The second order fits were automatically drawn, and the values of the second order rate constants (k₂) were automatically calculated using standard equations. At the temperature range studied, the dependence of the second order rate constant (Ln k₂) on reciprocal temperature was in agreement with the Arrhenius equation. This provided the relevant plots to calculate the activation energy of all the reactions. Furthermore, useful information was obtained from studies of the effect of solvent, structure of reactants (different alkyl groups within the dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates), and also concentration of reactants on the rate of reactions. The proposed mechanism was confirmed according to the obtained results, and a steady-state approximation and first step (k₂) of the reaction was recognized as a rate-determining step on the basis of experimental data.

Pallada‐ and platinacycle complexes of phosphorus ylides; synthesis,X‐ray characterization,theoretical and electrochemical studies and application of Pd(II) complexes as catalyst in Suzuki‐Miyaura coupling reaction

The new unsymmetrical phosphonium salts [Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂CH₂C(O)C₆H₄R]Br (R= m ‐Br ( S ₁ ) and p ‐CN ( S ₂ )) were synthesized in the reaction of 1,1‐bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm) and BrCH₂C(O)C₆H₄R (R= m ‐Br and p ‐CN) ketones, respectively. Further treatment with NEt₃ gave the α‐keto stabilized phosphorus ylides Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂C(H)C(O)C₆H₄R (R= m ‐Br ( Y ₁ ) and p ‐CN ( Y ₂ )). These ligands were reacted with [MCl₂(cod)] (M= Pd and Pt; cod= 1,5‐cyclooctadiene) to give the pallada‐ and platinacycle complexes [MCl₂(Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂C(H)C(O)C₆H₄R)] (M= Pd, R= m ‐Br ( 3 ); R= p ‐CN ( 4 ) and M= Pt, R= m ‐Br ( 5 ); R= p ‐CN ( 6 )). Cyclic voltammetry, elemental analysis, IR and NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P) spectroscopic methods were used for characterization of the obtained compounds. Further, the structure of complexes 3 and 4 were characterized crystallographically. Palladacycles 3 and 4 were proved to be excellent catalysts for the Suzuki‐Miyaura coupling reactions of various aryl chlorides and arylboronic acids in mixed DMF/H₂O media. Also, the bonding situations between two interacted fragments [PtCl₂] and Y ₁ and Y ₂ ligands in platinacycles 5 and 6 were investigated based on DFT method by using NBO, EDA and ETS‐NOCV analysis.

Spectral and crystallography studies of new palladacycle complexes with P,C‐ and C,C‐donor ligands; Application of (OAL16) to optimizing the yield of Mizoroki‐Heck reaction

The new symmetrical diphosphonium salt [Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂(CH₂C(O)C₆H₄Br)₂] Br₂ ( S ) was synthesized in the reaction of 1,2‐bis (diphenylphosphino) ethane (dppe) and related ketone. Further treatment with NEt₃ gave the symmetrical α‐keto stabilized diphosphine ylide [Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂(CHC(O)C₆H₄Br)₂] ( Y ¹ ). The unsymmetrical α‐keto stabilized diphosphine ylide [Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂(CHC(O)C₆H₄Br)] ( Y ² ) was synthesized in the reaction of diphosphine in 1:1 ratio with 2.3′‐dibromoacetophenone, then treatment with NEt_3. The reaction of dibromo (1,5‐cyclooctadiene)palladium (II), [PdBr₂(COD)] with this ligand ( Y ¹ ) in equimolar ratio gave the new C,C‐chelated [PdBr₂(Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂(C(H)C(O)C₆H₄Br)₂)] ( 1 ) and with unsymmetrical phosphorus ylide [Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂C(H)C(O)C₆H₄Br] ( Y ² ) gave the new P, C‐chelated palladacycle complex [PdBr₂(Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂C(H)C(O)Br)] ( 2 ). These compounds were characterized successfully by FT‐IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P) spectroscopic methods and the crystal structure of Y ¹ and 2 were elucidated by single crystal X‐ray diffraction. The results indicated that the complex 1 was C, C‐chelated whereas complex 2 was P, C‐chelated. These air/moisture stable complexes were employed as efficient catalysts for the Mizoroki‐Heck cross‐coupling reaction of several aryl chlorides, and the Taguchi method was used to optimize the yield of Mizoroki‐Heck coupling. The optimum condition was found to be as followed: base; K₂CO₃, solvent; DMF and loading of catalyst; 0.005 mmol.

Kinetics and thermodynamics of the electrodeposition of palladium, thallium, and tellurium from different baths

Some kinetic and activation thermodynamic functions for the electrodeposition of palladium, thallium, and tellurium from the best selected baths, viz. niclosamide bath [5-chloro-N-(2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl)-2-hydroxybenzamide] for Pd, alizarin red bath for Tl, and salicylaldehyde bath for Te, are determined. Reaction rate constant (k), half-lifetime (t _1/2), activation energy (E _a), and such activation thermodynamic parameters as entropy change (ΔS*), enthalpy change (ΔH*), and Gibbs free energy (ΔG*) are calculated by applying the rate theory of the first-order reaction and the Eyring theory of the reaction rate. The effect of temperature change in the range of 30–60°C on the above parameters is studied and thoroughly discussed. The effect of metal type on both the reaction rate and the activation energy is also investigated. Published in Russian in Elektrokhimiya, 2006, Vol. 42, No. 3, pp. 264–271.

Investigation of Reaction Mechanism of Amino Acids and Phosphorus Trichloride by 31P NMR and ESI‐MS/MS

The reaction of amino acids and phosphorus trichloride in THF was studied by ³¹P NMR tracing and ESI‐MS/MS. A series of hydridophoranes and cyclic dipeptides were obtained. The reaction presented interesting diversity and the reaction mechanism was proposed. The mechanism suggests that phosphorus plays an important role in the synthesis of amino acid hydridophorane and cyclic dipeptides. The results also show that ³¹P NMR and ESI‐MS/MS are useful tools for the investigation of reaction mechanism.     

On the Reaction Mechanism of the Complete Intermolecular O2 Transfer between Mononuclear Nickel and Manganese Complexes with Macrocyclic Ligands

The recently described intermolecular O₂ transfer between the side‐on Ni‐O₂ complex [(12‐TMC)Ni‐O₂]⁺ and the manganese complex [(14‐TMC)Mn]²⁺, where 12‐TMC and 14‐TMC are 12‐ and 14‐membered macrocyclic ligands, 12‐TMC=1,4,7,10‐tetramethyl‐1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane and 14‐TMC=1,4,8,11‐tetramethyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradecane, is studied by means of DFT methods. B3LYP calculations including long‐range corrections and solvent effects are performed to elucidate the mechanism. The potential energy surfaces (PESs) compatible with different electronic states of the reactants have been analyzed. The calculations confirm a two‐step reaction, with a first rate‐determining bimolecular step and predict the exothermic character of the global process. The relative stability of the products and the reverse barrier are in line with the fact that no reverse reaction is experimentally observed. An intermediate with a μ‐η¹:η¹‐O₂ coordination and two transition states are identified on the triplet PES, slightly below the corresponding stationary points of the quintet PES, suggesting an intersystem crossing before the first transition state. The calculated activation parameters and the relative energies of the two transition sates and the products are in very good agreement with the experimental data. The calculations suggest that a superoxide anion is transferred during the reaction.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of Chromium(III)‐guanosine 5‐Monophosphate Complex by Periodate

The kinetics of oxidation of the chromium(III)‐guanosine 5‐monophosphate complex, [Cr^III(L)(H₂O)₄]³⁺(L = guanosine 5‐monophosphate) by periodate in aqueous solution to Cr^VI have been studied spectrophotometrically over the 25–45 °C range. The reaction is first order with respect to both [IO₄^?] and [Cr^III], and increases with pH over the 2.38–3.68 range. Thermodynamic activation parameters have been calculated. It is proposed that electron transfer proceeds through an inner‐sphere mechanism via coordination of IO₄^? to chromium(III).     

E and Z stereoisomers of compounds of the phthalide series

The stereospecific position of the H⁴ proton in the PMR spectra of 3-benzyl-idenephthalides identifies unambiguously the E and Z isomers in a mixture. The IR spectra of off-planar deformation vibrations of the C=C bond in the 990–970 cm^–1 region have strong absorption bands, assigned to the E and Z isomers. The strong short-wave band (260 nm) for 3-benzylidenephthalides, having only one benzene ring in the indan moiety, suggests the presence of the E form (=28,000). The long-wave absorption band at 390–430 nm belongs to the Z isomers (=21,000–31,000). 3-Benzylidenephthalides which have no carbonyl groups in their molecules, show fluorescence (_f1=540–560 nm in EtOH).N.

Experimental and theoretical NMR and IR studies of the side-chain orientation effects on the backbone conformation of dehydrophenylalanine residue

Conformation of N-acetyl-(E)-dehydrophenylalanine N', N'-dimethylamide (Ac-(E)-ΔPhe-NMe(2)) in solution, a member of (E)-α, β-dehydroamino acids, was studied by NMR and infrared spectroscopy and the results were compared with those obtained for (Z) isomer. To support the spectroscopic interpretation, the Φ, Ψ potential energy surfaces were calculated at the MP2/6-31 + G(d,p) level of theory in chloroform solution modeled by the self-consistent reaction field-polarizable continuum model method. All minima were fully optimized by the MP2 method and their relative stabilities were analyzed in terms of π-conjugation, internal H-bonds and dipole interactions between carbonyl groups. The obtained NMR spectral features were compared with theoretical nuclear magnetic shieldings, calculated using Gauge Independent Atomic Orbitals (GIAO) approach and rescaled to theoretical chemical shifts using benzene as reference. The calculated indirect nuclear spin-spin coupling constants were compared with available experimental parameters.

Theoretical Investigation on Mechanism,Thermochemistry, and Kinetics of the Gas-phase Reaction of 2-Propargyl Radical with Formaldehyde

Gas-phase mechanism and kinetics of the reactions of the 2-propargyl radical(H2CCCH), an important intermediate in combustion processes, with formaldehyde were investigated using ab initio molecular orbital theory at the coupled-cluster CCSD(T)//B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,2p) method in conjunction with transition state theory(TST), variational transition state theory(VTST) and Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus(RRKM) calculations for rate constants. The potential energy surface(PES) constructed shows that the H2CCCH+HCHO reaction has six main entrances, including two H-abstraction and four additional channels, in which the former is energetically more favorable. The H-abstraction channels slide down to two quite weak pre-complexes COM-01(-9.3 kJ/mol) and COM-02(-kJ/mol) before going via energy barriers of 71.3(T0/P1) and 63.9 kJ/mol(T0/P2), respectively. Two post-complexes, COM-1(-17.8 kJ/mol) and COM-2(-23.4 kJ/mol) created just after coming out from T0/P1 and T0/P2, respectively, can easily be decomposed via barrier-less processes yielding H2CCCH2+CHO(P1,-12.4 kJ/mol) and HCCCH3+CHO(P2,-16.5 kJ/mol), respectively. The additional channels occur initially by formation of four intermediate states, H2CCCHCH2O(I1, 1.1 kJ/mol), HCCCH2CH2O(I3, 4.5 kJ/mol), H2CCCHOCH2(I4, 10.2 kJ/mol), and HCCCH2OCH2(I6, 19.1 kJ/mol) via energy barriers of 66.3, 59.2, 112.2, and 98.6 kJ/mol at T0/1, T0/3, TOM, and TO/6, respectively. Of which two channels producing 14 and 16 can be ignored due to coming over tlie high barriers TOM and TO/6, respectively. The rate constants and product branching ratios for the low-energy channels calculated show that the H2CCCH+HCHO reaction is almost pressure-independent. Altliough the H2CCCH+HCHO→Ⅰ1 and H2CCCH+HCHO→Ⅰ3 channels become dominant at low temperature, however, they are less competitive channels at high temperature.     

Reactivity of 3‐Methylbenzenediazonium Ions with Gallic Acid. Kinetics and Mechanism of the Reaction

We investigated the kinetics and mechanism of the reaction between the 3‐methylbenzenediazonium ions (3MBD), and gallic acids (=3,4,5‐trihydroxybenzoic acid; GA) in aqueous buffer solution under acidic conditions by employing spectrometric, electrochemical, and chromatographic techniques and computational methods. To discern which of the three OH groups of GA is the first one undergoing deprotonation, the geometries of the resulting dianions were optimized by using B3LYP hybrid density‐functional theory (DFT) and a 6‐31G(++d,p) basis set, and the results suggest that the OH group at the 4‐position is the first one which is deprotonated. The variation of the observed rate constant, k_obs, with the acidity at a given [GA] follows an upward curve suggesting that the reaction takes place with the dianionic form of gallic acid, GA^2?, and rate enhancements of ca. 23000 fold are obtained on going from pH 3.5 up to pH 7.5. At relatively high acidities, the variation of k_obs with [GA] is linear with an intercept very close to the value for the thermal decomposition of 3MBD; however, a decrease in the acidity leads to saturation‐kinetics profiles with nonzero, pH‐dependent intercepts. The saturation‐kinetics patterns found suggest the formation of an intermediate in a rapid pre‐equilibrium step, but the nonzero, pH‐dependent intercepts cause the double reciprocal plots of 1/k_obs vs. 1/[GA] to curve. This prompts us to propose an alternative reaction mechanism comprising consecutive equilibrium processes involving the bimolecular, reversible formation of a highly unstable (Z)‐diazo ether which undergoes isomerization to the (E)‐isomer through a unimolecular step. The results obtained indicate the complexity of reactions of arenediazonium ions with nucleophilic arenes containing three or more OH groups.
