基本化学反应形式的系统分类

The old classification of basic chemical reactions was evaluated and a new systematic classification of basic reactions was proposed.In the new classification,all the chemical reactions were divided into oxidation-reduction reactions and non-oxidation-reduction reactions,and both can be divided into combination reaction,decomposition reaction and replacement reaction,respectively.In addition,a new class of basic reactions,the complicated decomposition reaction,was appended to reaction system.     

Stoichiometric Photochemical Carbene Transfer by Bamford–Stevens Reaction

The photolysis of diazoalkanes is a timely strategy to conduct carbene-transfer reactions under mild and metal-free reaction conditions, and has developed as an important alternative to conventional metal-catalyzed carbene-transfer reactions. One of the major limitations lies within the rapidly occurring side reaction of the carbene intermediate with remaining diazoalkane molecules that result in the use of an excess of the reaction partner and thus impacts on the reaction efficiency. Herein, we describe a protocol that takes advantage of the in situ generation of donor–acceptor diazoalkanes by Bamford–Stevens reaction. Following this strategy, the concentration of the diazoalkane reaction partner can be minimized to reduce unwanted side reactions and to now conduct photochemical carbene transfer reactions under stoichiometric reaction conditions. We have explored this approach in the C−H and N−H functionalization and cyclopropanation reaction of N-heterocycles and could demonstrate the applicability of this method in 51 examples.     

Iterated reaction graphs: simulating complex Maillard reaction pathways

This study investigates a new method of simulating a complex chemical system including feedback loops and parallel reactions. The practical purpose of this approach is to model the actual reactions that take place in the Maillard process, a set of food browning reactions, in sufficient detail to be able to predict the volatile composition of the Maillard products. The developed framework, called iterated reaction graphs, consists of two main elements: a soup of molecules and a reaction base of Maillard reactions. An iterative process loops through the reaction base, taking reactants from and feeding products back to the soup. This produces a reaction graph, with molecules as nodes and reactions as arcs. The iterated reaction graph is updated and validated by comparing output with the main products found by classical gas-chromatographic/mass spectrometric analysis. To ensure a realistic output and convergence to desired volatiles only, the approach contains a number of novel elements: rate kinetics are treated as reaction probabilities; only a subset of the true chemistry is modeled; and the reactions are blocked into groups.

Catalytic enantioselective intermolecular reductive aldol reaction to ketones

We describe the first example of a catalytic enantioselective intermolecular reductive aldol reaction. Three types of reactions were studied: (1) reactions between acetophenone and methyl acrylate; (2) reactions between symmetric ketones and β-substituted α,β-unsaturated esters; and (3) reactions between acetophenone derivatives and an allenic ester. Although only moderate enantioselectivity was obtained in the first reaction type, high to excellent enantioselectivity was realized in the enantio-induction at the α-position in the second reaction type and at the δ-position in the third reaction type. Specifically, the third reaction type afforded the corresponding tertiary alcohols with up to 99% ee. Pre-activation of the nucleophile by silyl enolate formation is not necessary in these one-pot catalytic enantioselective reductive aldol reactions.     

对化学反应数据分类获取反应知识的新方法

尽管已有大量化学反应数据可供使用,但化学家仍常常感到很难便捷地从中得到所需的信息.这主要是由于反应数据库基于结构的检索方法与化学家解决问题的方法相去甚远.为解决这一问题而发展了一种通过对反应进行二级分类得到精细描述反应知识的层次模型的方法.第一次分类时不同的同类反应都在由一组普适性好的称作反应结构一级描述符构成的空间中进行.在第一次分类结果的基础上,得到每一类反应的公共结构特征作为第二次分类的结构描述符,利用它们进行更精细的分类,即可从原始反应数据中得到所需的基核反应.由特定反应、基核反应和基型反应就可将反应知识更合理地组织在同类反应知识库中,使它们得到更好的利用.     

Solid gas reaction of hydrazobenzene with methyl iodide

Solid-gas reactions are used as a new approach to the study of solvolysis reactions. The reaction of solid hydrazobenzene with gaseous methyl iodide yields a different product distribution from the solution reaction and the possible mechanisms of these reactions are discussed.     

Reactivity index based on orbital energies

This study shows that the chemical reactivities depend on the orbital energy gaps contributing to the reactions. In the process where a reaction only makes progress through charge transfer with the minimal structural transformation of the reactant, the orbital energy gap gradient (OEGG) between the electron‐donating and electron‐accepting orbitals is proven to be very low. Using this relation, a normalized reaction diagram is constructed by plotting the normalized orbital energy gap with respect to the normalized intrinsic reaction coordinate. Application of this reaction diagram to 43 fundamental reactions showed that the majority of the forward reactions provide small OEGGs in the initial stages, and therefore, the initial processes of the forward reactions are supposed to proceed only through charge transfer. Conversely, more than 60% of the backward reactions are found to give large OEGGs implying very slow reactions associated with considerable structural transformations. Focusing on the anti‐activation‐energy reactions, in which the forward reactions have higher barriers than those of the backward ones, most of these reactions are shown to give large OEGGs for the backward reactions. It is also found that the reactions providing large OEGGs in the forward directions inconsistent with the reaction rate constants are classified into S_N2, symmetric, and methyl radical reactions. Interestingly, several large‐OEGG reactions are experimentally established to get around the optimum pathways. This indicates that the reactions can take significantly different pathways from the optimum ones provided no charge transfer proceeds spontaneously without the structural transformations of the reactants. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Computer Simulation of the Kinetics of Complicated Gas Phase Reactions

Modern digital methods and powerful computers make it possible to simulate the time behavior of chemical reactions. These calculations can be performed on systems containing an almost unlimited number of elementary reactions. Generally, however, the reaction models used should contain only those elementary reactions which describe the bulk of the conversion. Such a reaction model may be obtained by reduction of the complete set of elementary reactions. Another possibility is analysis of the chemical system starting from conditions ensuring a simple chemistry, which is generally the case at low temperatures and low conversions. The reaction model may then be extended into the range of the reaction variables (temperature, time) of interest. Mathematical simulations may be helpful during the development of the reaction model, and sometimes even decisive. These methods were applied to the pyrolysis of ethylbenzene and n-hexane, and to CO oxidation. They yield information on the reaction paths, the importance of particular elementary reactions, and reaction stability. Furthermore, quantitative data can be obtained concerning the influence of single elementary reactions on the product distribution. The sensitivity matrix shows, e.g., whether the determination of kinetic parameters of an elementary reaction from kinetic data of the overall reaction is possible in principle, and how high the accuracy of the rate constants should be for simulation of the reaction. Both results are important for modeling chemical reactions.     

Silyl-substituted 1,3-butadienes for Diels-Alder reaction, ene reaction and allylation reaction

Silyl-substituted 1,3-butadienes are useful building blocks and are readily applied in several types of reactions such as Diels-Alder reaction, ene reaction and allylation. They can also participate in different tandem reactions such as Diels-Alder/allylation, ene/allylation, ene/allylation/Diels-Alder reaction, ene/allylation/ene reaction and ene/allylation/Diels-Alder/allylation reaction. This feature article reviews the synthesis of silyl-substituted 1,3-butadienes, and their applications in the reaction types mentioned above, involving a tandem Diels-Alder/ene/allylation process. This article also introduces some reactions of alkenylsilanes and allylsilanes for comparison and discussion about the tandem reaction. The tandem reactions described in this article are a powerful tool to construct complicated multicyclic compounds with high selectivity and high efficiency.     

Multiple rate-determining steps for nonideal and fractal kinetics

We show that the kinetic model of a single rate-determining step in a reaction mechanism can be extended to systems with multiple overall reactions for which the elementary reactions obey nonideal or fractal kinetics. The following assumptions are necessary: (1) The system studied is either closed or open, but no constraints exist preventing the evolution toward equilibrium. (2) Elementary reactions occur in pairs of forward and backward steps. (3) The kinetics of the elementary steps are either nonideal or fractal and are compatible with equilibrium thermodynamics. (4) The number of reaction routes is identical with the number of rate-determining steps. If these hypotheses are valid, then the overall reaction rates can be explicitly evaluated: they have a form similar to the kinetic equations for the elementary reactions and the apparent reaction orders and fractal coefficients can be expressed analytically in terms of the kinetic parameters of the elementary reactions. We derive a set of relationships which connect the equilibrium constants of the reaction routes, the corresponding overall rate coefficients, and the stoichiometric numbers of the rate-determining steps. We also derive a set of generalized Boreskov relations among the apparent activation energies of the forward and backward overall processes, the corresponding reaction enthalpies, and the stoichiometric coefficients of the rate-determining steps. If the elementary reactions obey fractal kinetics, the same is true for the rate-determining steps. The fractal exponents of the forward and backward overall reactions are linear combinations of the fractal exponents of the fractal elementary reactions. Similar to the theory of single rate-determining steps, our approach can be used for selecting suitable reaction mechanisms from experimental data.

Syntheses of biologically active natural products and leading compounds for new pharmaceuticals employing effective construction of a polycyclic skeleton

Cascade reactions are useful methods for the construction of polycyclic skeletons, which are important cores for biological activities. A variety of cascade reactions carried out under multiple reaction conditions, such as pericyclic, polar, radical, and transition metal-catalyzed reaction conditions, have been investigated. Culmorin, pentalenene, pentalenic acid, deoxypentalenic acid, longiborneol, cedrandiol, 8,14-cedranoxide, atisirene, atisine, and estrane-type steroids were synthesized via the intramolecular double Michael reaction. Aza double Michael reaction was applied to the syntheses of tylophorine, epilupinine, tacamonine, and paroxetine. Furthermore, sequential Michael and aldol reactions were performed in both intramolecular and intermolecular manners, leading to the formation of polycyclic compounds fused to a four-membered ring. Synthesis of paesslerin A utilizing a multicomponent cascade reaction revealed an error in the proposed structure. Unique cascade reactions carried out under radical and transition metal-catalyzed reaction conditions were also investigated. With the combination of several cascade reactions, serofendic acids and methyl 7beta-hydroxykaurenoate, both of which have neuroprotective activity, were synthesized in a selective manner.

The regularities of reversible chain reactions in the equilibrium state

The characteristics of dynamic equilibrium states in the experimentally studied reversible chain reactions of quinoneimines with hydroquinones and in some reversible chain reactions with similar mechanisms are discussed. The concentrations of radicals and non-radical participants were calculated. The equilibrium concentrations of the same reaction participants depend only on the initial reactant concentrations, being independent of the number of chain initiation-chain termination steps in the reaction mechanism. The results of mathematical modeling of reversible chain reactions using the experimentally determined rate constants for elementary steps of a reaction in the quinoneimine-hydroquinone system are presented. Expressions relating the equilibrium constants of elementary steps to each other and to the equilibrium constant of the total stoichiometric reaction are derived. Examples of other actual reversible chain reactions are presented, indicating that such reactions are widespread.     

催化反应中休眠期与诱导期之区别

许多化学反应中都存在一个被定义为"诱导期"的起始反应速率较低的阶段，例如一些自由基反应、放热反应和催化反应。与之相比，在极少数的催化反应中研究者观察到一个反应速率始终为零的特殊阶段，在这个阶段之后反应自发开始。这两种阶段形成的原因与反应的机理尤其是催化剂的活化和失活有关。然而，这两个具有明显不同特征的阶段往往被混淆。本文通过所选取的一些代表性的催化反应分别介绍了"诱导期"和"休眠期"的动力学特征，讨论了两者之间的区别。期待这些隐藏在稳态催化循环之前的阶段能够得到更多的关注，这将有利于研究人员深度理解有机化学反应中的前催化循环和详细的反应机理。     

Detailed mechanism generation. 2. Aldehydes, ketones, and olefins

Generalized reaction classes for the consumption and decomposition of aldehydes, ketones, and olefins are described. These classes are important for generating not only reactions for the consumption of the branching agents of low-temperature hydrocarbon combustion but also reactions of the oxidation of alkenes and the decomposition of cyclic ethers. These reaction classes have been extrapolated from specific reactions of existing validated mechanisms. The reaction patterns making up the class were derived by identifying the reactive center of the specific reactions and the important surrounding functional groups. The rates used currently are definitely "first guesses" based on these specific reactions. The reaction classes in this paper supplement the reaction classes derived from accepted reaction types in the previous paper in this series. The purpose of this paper is to outline a complete (with very few exceptions) set of reaction classes which describe the C(5) and C(6) products of the low-temperature and cyclic ether path in the heptane and isooctane mechanisms.     

Building addressable libraries: site-selective use of Pd(0) catalysts on microelectrode arrays

Site-selective Pd(0)-catalyzed reactions have been developed to functionalize a microelectrode array. Heck, Suzuki, and allylation reactions have all been accomplished. The reactions are compatible with both 1K and 12K arrays and work best when a nonsugar porous reaction layer is used. Suzuki reactions are faster than the Heck reactions and thus require more careful control of the reactions in order to maintain confinement. The allylation reaction requires a different confining agent than the Heck and Suzuki reactions but can be accomplished nicely with quinone as an oxidant for Pd(0).
