Contribution to the chemistry of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. Products of the Ferriin-Bromomalonic acid and the Ferriin-Malonic acid reactions

In the present mechanistic schemes of the ferroin-catalyzed oscillatory Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction the oxidation of the organic substrates (bromomalonic or malonic acid) by ferriin (the oxidized form of the catalyst) plays an important role. As the organic products of these reactions were not yet identified experimentally, they were studied here by an HPLC technique. It was found that the main organic oxidation product of bromomalonic acid is bromo-ethene-tricarboxylic acid (BrEETRA), the same compound that is formed when bromomalonic acid is oxidized by Ce4+ (another catalyst of the BZ reaction). Formation of BrEETRA is explained here by a new mechanism that is more realistic than the one suggested earlier. To find any oxidation product of malonic acid in the ferriin-malonic acid reaction was not successful, however. Neither ethane-tetracarboxylic acid (ETA) nor malonyl malonate (MAMA), the usual products of the Ce4+- malonic acid reaction, nor any other organic acid, not even CO2, was found as a product of the reaction. We propose that malonic acid is not oxidized in the ferriin-malonic acid reaction, and it plays only the role of a complex forming catalyst in a process where Fe3+ oxidizes mostly its phenantroline ligand.     

Optimization of the synthesis of 5-amino-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylacetic acid and bis(5-amino-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methane

An exceptionally mild catalytic thioester aldol reaction inspired by polyketide biosynthesis

This report details our discovery of a new catalytic ester aldol reaction using malonic acid half thioesters (MAHTs) that directly affords beta-hydroxythioesters. The reaction is catalyzed by combination of a Cu(II) salt and an amine base, and it can be performed under exceptionally mild conditions (23 degrees C, open to the air, wet solvent). Methyl malonic acid half thioesters afforded syn aldol products with distereoselectivities greater than 6:1.     

The kinetics of the decarboxylation of malonic acid in normal alkanols

Rate constants and activation parameters are reported for the decarboxylation of malonic acid in seven normal alkanols (butanol-l to decanol-l inclusive). It is found that the enthalpy of activation of the reaction is a linear function of the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain of tthe solvent, expressed by the equation: ΔH^≠ = –600n + 30,000, where n is thenumber of carbon atoms in the chain. Also an equation is developed relatingthe rate constant for the decarboxylation of malonic acid in normal alkanols to n (the number of carbon atoms in the chain): log K = 10.854283 – 0.3212674n + (131.136876n – 6556.5438)/T + log T. With the aid of this equation rate constants may be calulated for the decarboxylationof malonic acid in any alcohol at any temperature which agree with experimental values to within the limit of error of the experiments. A comparison of the data obtained in the present research for the decarboxylation of malonic acid in normal alkanols with previously reported data for the reaction in amines indicates that for reaction taking place in alcohols the transition state probably contains two molecules of solvent but only one for the reaction in amines.     

The oxidation of organic substances by compounds of trivalent manganese: XIV. Oxidation of malonic acid by manganese(III) sulfate in sulfuric acid medium and with hexaquomanganese(III) ions in noncomplexing perchloric acid medium

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of malonic acid by permanganate and manganese dioxide in acid perchlorate medium

Summary The kinetics of oxidation of malonic acid by both [MnO₄]^– and MnO₂ have been studied in an HClO₄ medium. The oxidation product of the organic acid was found to be glyoxylic acid. A reaction mechanism assuming complexation between MnO₂ and malonic acid is suggested. The rate is independent of [H⁺].     

Michael addition approach for the synthesis of novel spiro compounds and 2-substituted malonic acid derivatives from Meldrum’s acid

Novel routes for the synthesis of spiro derivatives of Meldrum’s acid and 2-substituted malonic acid derivatives have been developed. Meldrum’s acid was monoalkylated using a Michael addition reaction. Mono-Michael adducts were then alkylated using substituted haloalkanes, which on condensation gave spiro derivatives of Meldrum’s acid. Bis Michael addition of Meldrum’s acid with 1,5-diaryl-1,4-pentadien-3-one gave directly a spiro derivative of Meldrum’s acid. These compounds and bis alkylated Meldrum’s acid derivatives, on acidic methanolysis gave 2-substituted malonic acids.

Bray–Liebhafsky and non-catalysed Briggs–Rauscher oscillating reactions

In order to propose mechanisms of complicated chemical systems, it is necessary to study simpler subsystems. The mechanism we have proposed for the Bray–Liebhafsky (BL) oscillating reaction is based on kinetic studies of several reactions of iodine compounds between them and with hydrogen peroxide. Because the reactants of the non-catalysed Briggs–Rauscher (BR) oscillating reaction are the same as those of the BL reaction plus malonic acid, we propose now to extend the mechanism of the BL reaction to the BR reaction. With this aim, we add radical reactions of iodine compounds and of malonic acid. The choice of these reactions is based on our recent study of the unusual kinetics of the iodate reduction by high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide.     

Synthesis of a Multifunctional Pheromone of the Honeybee Apis mellifera Via Condensation of 7-Oxooctanal with Malonic Acid

Condensation of 7-oxooctanal with malonic acid in a Doebner reaction produces 9-oxo-2E-decenoic acid (42% yield) and a comparable amount of products from Tishchenko disproportionation of the starting aldehyde (7-oxooctyl-7-oxooctanoate) and re-esterification by acetic acid (7-oxooct-1-ylacetate and 7-oxooctanoic acid).     

Kinetics and simulations of the malonic acid-bromine reaction

In this subsystem of the classical Belousov-Zhabotinskii oscillatory reaction the minimal set of reactions that still quantitatively reproduces the experimental behavior was suggested and analyzed by numerical simulations. We conclude that the reaction pathway via HOBr plays no role in the bromination of malonic acid.

Conversions of Coumarins Accompanied by Intermediate Opening and Recyclization of the Lactone Ring. 2. Study of the Interaction of Malonic Acid Hydrazide and Amide Derivatives with 3-Acyl(3-cyano, 3-ethoxycarbonyl)Coumarins

Reaction between the N,N′-diisopropylidene and N,N′-diacetyl derivatives of malonic acid dihydrazide and 3-acyl(3-cyano, 3-ethoxycarbonyl)coumarins under the conditions of the Michael reaction lead to the formation of N′-isopropylidene and N′-acetyl derivatives of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid hydrazide. Ethoxycarbonylacethydrazide reacts in an analogous manner. Special features have been studied of the interaction of malonic acid amide derivatives with unsubstituted coumarin and with coumarins containing electron-withdrawing groupings in position 3 of the ring. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1502–1514, October, 2005.     

Anionic condensations of 3,5-di-<Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-butyl-4(2)-hydroxybenzaldehydes in the presence of weak bases

Products of the reactions of 4- and 2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butyl-benzaldehydes with malonic acid, diethyl malonate, and acetic anhydride in the presence of weak bases were isolated and identified. The reactions of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with malonic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of sodium acetate and piperidine gave 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxycinnamic acid. The reaction of its 2-hydroxy isomer with acetic anhydride stopped at the stage of formation of the corresponding O-acetyl derivative, while in the reaction with malonic acid the corresponding substituted cinnamic acid and its lactone (coumarin derivative) were formed as intermediate products in a transformation sequence finally leading to 3-(3,5-di-tertbutyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-piperidinopropionic acid and 6,8-di-tert-butyl-2-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromen-4-ylacetic acid. Analogous differences were typical of reactions of isomeric 4- and 2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzaldehydes with diethyl malonate. The transformations of the 2-hydroxy isomer were accompanied by hydrolysis and formation of an adduct of intermediate coumarin derivative with diethyl malonate and piperidine.

Overtone-induced decarboxylation: a potential sink for atmospheric diacids

Atmospheric photochemistry induced by solar excitation of vibrational overtone transitions has recently been demonstrated to be of importance in cleaving weak bonds (in HO(2)NO(2)) and inducing intramolecular rearrangement followed by reaction (in H(2)SO(4)). Here, we propose another potentially important process: the decarboxylation of organic acids. To demonstrate this possibility, we have calculated the decarboxylation pathways for malonic acid and its monohydrate. The barrier to the gas-phase decarboxylation was calculated to be in the range 26-28 kcal/mol at the B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,3pd) level of theory, in good agreement with previous results. The transition state is a six-membered ring structure which is accessed via concerted O-H and C-C stretches; excitation of v(OH) > or = 3 of either one of the OH stretching modes is sufficient to supply the energy needed for the decarboxylation. A low-energy isomer of the malonic acid-water complex forms an eight-membered, multiply hydrogen bonded structure, bound by 3-6 kcal/mol, somewhat less stable than the lowest energy, six-membered ring isomer. Decarboxylation of such complexes uses water as a catalyst; the water accepts an acidic proton from one malonic acid group and transfers a proton to the carbonyl of the other acid group. The barrier for this process is 20-22 kcal/mol, suggesting that complexes excited to v(OH) > or = 2 possess sufficient energy to react. Using estimated absorption cross sections for the OH overtone transitions, we suggest that the overtone-induced decarboxylation of malonic acid and its water complex is competitive with wet deposition of the acid and with gas-phase reaction with OH for removal of the acid.
