Transesterification of phenyl salicylate II. Kinetics and mechanism of intramolecular general base-catalyzed cleavage of phenyl salicylate under the presence of 1,2-ethanediol and 2-ethoxyethanol

The first-order rate constants, k₁, for 1,2-ethanediolysis (within the content of 1,2-ethanediol of 5% to 90%, v/v) and 2-ethoxyethanolysis (within the 2-ethoxyethanol content of 5% to 60%, v/v) of phenyl salicylate, PSH, in alkaline aqueous mixed solvents, fit to a relationship: k₁ = k[ROH]_T/(1 + K[ROH]_T) where k and K represent the secondorder rate constant for the reaction of alkanol, ROH, with ionized phenyl salicylate, PS^?, and association constant for the dimerization of ROH, respectively, and [ROH]_T is the total concentration of ROH. Similar relationship between k₁ and [ROH]_T has been found for 1,2-ethanediolysis of PS^? studied in mixed solvents containing 1,2-ethanediol and MeCN. In the alkaline aqueous mixed solvents containing 2-ethoxyethanol, the k₁-[ROH]_T profile reveals the change in the solvent structure of the reaction medium at >60% (v/v) of ROH content. It is proposed that alkanols exist in polymeric form, (ROH)_n, and the alkanolysis of PS^? involves the pre-equilibrium formation of monomeric ROH from (ROH)_n, followed by an intramolecular general base-catalyzed nucleophilic attack at carbonyl carbon of ester. A slight negative KCl salt- and slight positive n-Bu₄NI salt-effect are obtained for 1,2-ethanediolysis while a significant positive n-Bu₄NI salt-effect is obtained for 2-ethoxyethanolysis of PS^?.     

Kinetics and mechanism of intramolecular general base-catalyzed alkanolysis of phenyl salicylate in the presence of anionic micelles

The alkanolysis of ionized phenyl salicylate, PS^?, has been studied in the presence and absence of micelles of sodium dodecyl sulphate, SDS, at 0.05 M NaOH, 30 or 32°C and within the alkanol, ROH, (ROH = HOCH₂CH₂OH and CH₃OH) contents of 15–74 or 92%, v/v. The alkanolysis of PS^? involves intramolecular general base catalysis. At a constant concentration of SDS, [SDS]_T, the observed pseudo first-order rate constants, k_obs, for the reactions of ROH with PS^? obtained at different concentration of ROH, [ROH]_T, obey the relationship: k_obs = k[ROH]_T/(1 + K_A[ROH]_T) where k is the apparent second-order rate constant and K_A is the association constant for dimerization of ROH molecules. Both k and K_A decrease with increase in [SDS]_T. At a constant [ROH]_T, the rate constants, k_obs, show a decrease of nearly 2-fold with increase in [SDS]_T from 0.0–0.3M. These results are explained in terms of pseudo-phase model of micelle. The rate constants for alkanolysis of PS^? in micellar pseudophase are insignificant compared with the corresponding rate constants in aqueous-alkanol pseudophase. This is attributed largely to considerably low value of [ROH] in the specific micellar environment where micellar bound PS^? molecules exist. The increase in [ROH]_T decrease the value of the binding constant of PS^? with SDS micelle. The effects of anionic micelles on the rates of alkanolysis of PS^? are explained in terms of the porous cluster micellar structure.     

Temperature, salt and solvent effects on intramolecular general base-catalyzed methanolysis of ionized phenyl salicylate (PS?)

The kinetic characteristics of CO, HC and NO_x reaction on different kinds of three way catalysts (TWC) has been investigated by using a fixed bed reactor. It was concluded that the three-way reaction on noble metal catalysts is controlled by internal diffusion at high space velocity 16×10⁴ h^–1. On non-noble metal catalysts internal diffusion control prevails at space velocities (S.V.) <4×10⁴ h^–1 and kinetic control occurs at S.V.> 4×10⁴ h^–1. On non-noble metal catalysts containing a small amount of a noble metal, the kinetic control region of the three-way reaction shifts to higher space velocity.     

Effects of CH3OH‐H2O and CH3OH solvents on rate of reaction of phthalimide with piperidine

Pseudo‐first‐order rate constants (k_obs) for the cleavage of phthalimide in the presence of piperidine (Pip) vary linearly with the total concentration of Pip ([Pip]_T) at a constant content of methanol in mixed aqueous solvents containing 2% v/v acetonitrile. Such linear variation of k_obs against [Pip]_T exists within the methanol content range 10%–∼80% v/v. The change in k_obs with the change in [Pip]_T at 98% v/v CH₃OH in mixed methanol‐acetonitrile solvent shows the relationship: k_obs = k[Pip]_T + k[Pip], where respective k and k represent apparent second‐order and third‐order rate constants for nucleophilic and general base‐catalyzed piperidinolysis of phthalimide. The values of k_obs, obtained within [Pip]_T range 0.02–0.40 M at 0.03 M NaOH and 20 as well as 50% v/v CH₃OH reveal the relationship: k_obs = k₀/(1 + {k_n[Pip]/k_OX[⁻OX]_T}), where k₀ is the pseudo‐first‐order rate constant for hydrolysis of phthalimide, k_n and k_OX represent nucleophilic second‐order rate constants for the reaction of Pip with phthalimide and for the XO⁻‐catalyzed cyclization of N‐piperidinylphthalamide to phthalimide, respectively, and [⁻OX]_T = [NaOH] + [⁻OX_re], where [⁻OX_re] = [⁻OH_re] + [CH₃O_re⁻]. The reversible reactions of Pip with H₂O and CH₃OH produce ⁻OH_re and CH₃O_re⁻ ions. The effects of mixed methanol‐water solvents on the rates of piperidinolysis of PTH reveal a nonlinear decrease in k with the increase in the content of methanol. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Energetics of the O-H bond and of intramolecular hydrogen bonding in HOC6H4C(O)Y (Y = H, CH3, CH2CH=CH2, C[triple bond]CH, CH2F, NH2, NHCH3, NO2, OH, OCH3, OCN, CN, F, Cl, SH, and SCH3) compounds

The energetics of the phenolic O-H bond in a series of 2- and 4-HOC 6H 4C(O)Y (Y = H, CH3, CH 2CH=CH2, C[triple bond]CH, CH2F, NH2, NHCH 3, NO2, OH, OCH3, OCN, CN, F, Cl, SH, and SCH3) compounds and of the intramolecular O...H hydrogen bond in 2-HOC 6H 4C(O)Y, was investigated by using a combination of experimental and theoretical methods. The standard molar enthalpies of formation of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (2HBA), 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (4HBA), 2'-hydroxyacetophenone (2HAP), 2-hydroxybenzamide (2HBM), and 4-hydroxybenzamide (4HBM), at 298.15 K, were determined by micro- or macrocombustion calorimetry. The corresponding enthalpies of vaporization or sublimation were also measured by Calvet drop-calorimetry and Knudsen effusion measurements. The combination of the obtained experimental data led to Delta f H m (o)(2HBA, g) = -238.3 +/- 2.5 kJ.mol (-1), DeltafHm(o)(4HBA, g) = -220.3 +/- 2.0 kJ.mol(-1), Delta f H m (o)(2HAP, g) = -291.8 +/- 2.1 kJ.mol(-1), DeltafHm(o)(2HBM, g) = -304.8 +/- 1.5 kJ.mol (-1), and DeltafHm(o) (4HBM, g) = -278.4 +/- 2.4 kJ.mol (-1). These values, were used to assess the predictions of the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p), B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p), B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ, B3P86/6-31G(d,p), B3P86/6-311+G(d,p), B3P86/aug-cc-pVDZ, and CBS-QB3 methods, for the enthalpies of a series of isodesmic gas phase reactions. In general, the CBS-QB3 method was able to reproduce the experimental enthalpies of reaction within their uncertainties. The B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) method, with a slightly poorer accuracy than the CBS-QB3 approach, achieved the best performance of the tested DFT models. It was further used to analyze the trends of the intramolecular O...H hydrogen bond in 2-HOC 6H 4C(O)Y evaluated by the ortho-para method and to compare the energetics of the phenolic O-H bond in 2- and 4-HOC 6H 4C(O)Y compounds. It was concluded that the O-H bond "strength" is systematically larger for 2-hydroxybenzoyl than for the corresponding 4-hydroxybenzoyl isomers mainly due to the presence of the intramolecular O...H hydrogen bond in the 2-isomers. The observed differences are, however, significantly dependent on the nature of the substituent Y, in particular, when an intramolecular H-bond can be present in the radical obtained upon cleavage of the O-H bond.     

Effects of mixed H2O‐CH3CN solvents on the rate of hydrazinolysis of N‐phenylphthalimide: Spectral and kinetic evidence for the occurrence of N‐aminophthalimide on the reaction path

Kinetic study on the cleavage of N‐phenylphthalimide (NPhPT) in the presence of 0.05 M NH₂NH₂ and mixed H₂O‐CH₃CN solvents reveals the occurrence of reaction scheme where A, B, C, C₁, An, E, and F represent NPhPT, o‐CO^?₂C₆H₄CONHC₆H₅, o‐CONHNH₂C₆H₄‐ CONHC₆H₅, N‐aminophthalimide, aniline, o‐CO^?₂C₆H₄CONHNH₂, and o‐CONHNH₂C₆H₄‐CONHNH₂, respectively. But, in the presence of either nonbuffered ?0.20 M NH₂NH₂ hydrazine buffer of pH ～7.30–8.26 with total buffer concentration ([Buf]_T) of >0.02 M, further conversion of F to 2,3‐dihydrophthalazine‐1,4‐dione (DHPD) has been detected depending upon the length of the reaction time (t), the values of [Buf]_T, and pH. It has been shown that the rate of conversion of C₁ to F is much faster than that of C to C₁ which is much faster than that of F to DHPD. The reaction step A → C involves general base (GB) catalysis, while step C → C₁ seems to involve specific base–general acid (GA) and GB‐GB catalysis. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Kinetic and rheological measurements of the effects of inert 2-, 3- and 4-bromobenzoate ions on the cationic micellar-mediated rate of piperidinolysis of ionized phenyl salicylate

The effects of the concentration of inert organic salts, [MX], (MX=2-, 3- and 4-BrBzNa with BrBzNa=BrC(6)H(4)CO(2)Na) on the rate of piperidinolysis of ionized phenyl salicylate (PS(-)) have been rationalized in terms of pseudophase micellar (PM) coupled with an empirical equation. The appearance of induction concentration in the plots of k(obs) versus [MX] (where k(obs) is pseudo-first-order rate constants for the reaction of piperidine (Pip) with PS(-)) is attributed to the occurrence of two or more than two independent ion exchange processes between different counterions at the cationic micellar surface. The derived kinetic equation, in terms of PM model coupled with an empirical equation, gives empirical parameters F(X/S) and K(X/S) whose magnitudes lead to the calculation of usual ion exchange constant K(X)(Br) (=K(X)/K(Br) with K(X) and K(Br) representing cationic micellar binding constants of counterions X(-) and Br(-), respectively). The value of F(X/S) measures the fraction of S(-) (=PS(-)) ions transferred from the cationic micellar pseudophase to the aqueous phase by the optimum value of [MX] due to ion exchange X(-)/S(-). Similarly, the value of K(X/S) measures the ability of X(-) ions to expel S(-) ions from cationic micellar pseudophase to aqueous phase through ion exchange X(-)/S(-). This rather new technique gives the respective values of K(X)(Br) as 8.8±0.3, 71±6 and 62±5 for X(-)=2-, 3- and 4-BrBz(-). Rheological measurements reveal the shear thinning behavior of all the surfactant solutions at 15mM CTABr (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) indicating indirectly the presence of rodlike micelles. The plots of shear viscosity (η) at a constant shear rate (γ), i.e. η(γ), versus [MX] at 15 mM CTABr exhibit maxima for MX=3-BrBzNa and 4-BrBzNa while for MX=2-BrBzNa, the viscosity maximum appears to be missing. Such viscosity maxima are generally formed in surfactant solutions containing long stiff and flexible rodlike micelles with entangled and branched/multiconnected networks. Thus, 15 mM CTABr solutions at different [MX] contain long stiff and flexible rodlike micelles for MX=3- and 4-BrBzNa and short rodlike micelles for MX=2-BrBzNa.     

Reflected shock tube studies of high-temperature rate constants for CH3 + O2, H2CO + O2, and OH + O2

The reflected shock tube technique with multipass absorption spectrometric detection of OH-radicals at 308 nm, corresponding to a total path length of approximately 2.8 m, has been used to study the reaction CH3 + O2 CH2O + OH. Experiments were performed between 1303 and 2272 K, using ppm quantities of CH3I (methyl source) and 5-10% O2, diluted with Kr as the bath gas at test pressures less than 1 atm. We have also reanalyzed our earlier ARAS measurements for the atomic channel (CH3 + O2 --> CH3O + O) and have compared both these results with other earlier studies to derive a rate expression of the Arrhenius form. The derived expressions, in units of cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1), are k = 3.11 x 10(-13) exp(-4953 K/T) over the T-range 1237-2430 K, for the OH-channel, and k = 1.253 x 10(-11) exp(-14241 K/T) over the T-range 1250-2430 K, for the O-atom channel. Since CH2O is a major product in both reactions, reliable rates for the reaction CH2O + O2 --> HCO + HO2 could be derived from [OH]t and [O]t experiments over the T-range 1587-2109 K. The combined linear least-squares fit result, k = 1.34 x 10(-8) exp(-26883 K/T) cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1), and a recent VTST calculation clearly overlap within the uncertainties in both studies. Finally, a high sensitivity for the reaction OH + O2 --> HO2 + O was noted at high temperature in the O-atom data set simulations. The values for this obtained by fitting the O-atom data sets at later times (approximately 1.2 ms) again follow the Arrhenius form, k = 2.56 x 10(-10) exp(-24145 K/T) cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1), over the T-range, 1950-2100 K.     

A thermally stable Pt/Y-based metal-organic framework: Exploring the accessibility of the metal centers with spectroscopic methods using H2O, CH3OH, and CH3CN as probes

A metal-organic framework (MOF) based on Pt, Y, and 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylate (BPDC), stable up to 400 degrees C, has been synthesized and characterized. In this MOF, the Pt centers are coordinated to Cl and the N atoms of the BPDC unit, giving a local environment similar to that found in a series of Pt-organic complexes with catalytic activity toward C-H bond cleavage of alkanes. This new material is a heterogeneous counterpart to the corresponding metal-organic complex. The structure, determined by single-crystal XRD data, is the repetition of three covalently bonded layers. These layers form a block, which is stacking as an (a)(b)(c) sequence along the crystallographic b-axis. Each layer contains the Pt-organic unit, while Y atoms represent the connection between adjacent layers. No covalent connection is present between layer (a) of a block and layer (c) of an adjacent block. EXAFS (BM29 at the ESRF) analysis supports the XRD data. As this MOF crystallizes under hydrothermal conditions, water acts both as solvent and as a direct ligand of Y. Accessibility to the metal centers is demonstrated by reversible water desorption/readsorption, as determined by TPA/TPD, FTIR, UV-vis, EXAFS, and XANES. Importantly, the results show that the as-synthesized material will not suffer a permanent loss in porosity upon solvent removal. In addition to water, methanol, ethanol, and acetonitrile can also access the internal void of the dehydrated phase.     

Effects of mixed aqueous‐organic solvents on the rate of intramolecular carboxylic group‐catalyzed cleavage of N‐(4′‐methoxyphenyl)phthalamic acid

Kinetic study on the cleavage of N‐(4′‐methoxyphenyl)phthalamic acid (NMPPAH) in mixed H₂O‐CH₃CN and H₂O‐1,4‐dioxan solvents containing 0.05 M HCl reveals the formation of phthalic anhydride (PAn)/phthalic acid (PA) as the sole or major product. Pseudo first‐order rate constants (k₁) for the conversion of NMPPAH to PAn decrease nonlinearly from 60.4 × 10^?5 to 2.64 × 10^?5 s^?1 with the increase in the contents of 1,4‐dioxan from 10 to 80% v/v in mixed aqueous solvents. The rate of cleavage of NMPPAH in mixed H₂O‐CH₃CN solvents at ≥50% v/v CH₃CN follows an irreversible consecutive reaction path: NMPPAH PA. The values of k₁ are larger in H₂O‐CH₃CN than in H₂O‐1,4‐dioxan solvents. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 36: 316–325, 2004     

The ionothermal synthesis of metal organic frameworks,Ln(C9O6H3)((CH3NH)2CO)2, using deep eutectic solvents

Three new isostructural materials Ln(TMA)(DMU)₂ (Ln(C₉O₆H₃)((CH₃NH)₂CO)₂; Ln: La 1, Nd 2, Eu 3; TMA: trimesate, DMU: dimethylurea) have been synthesised ionothermally using a choline chloride/dimethylurea deep eutectic mixture as the solvent. Normally in ionothermal synthesis the urea portion of the deep eutectic solvent is unstable, breaking down to release ammonium cations that act as templates. In the case of 1–3, however, the dimethylurea remains intact and is incorporated into the final structure.

Oxidopolyborate chemistry: The self-assembled,templated, synthesis,and an XRD study of a 1-D coordination polymer, [Cu(en){B6O7(OH)6}].3H2O (en = 1,2-diaminoethane)

Abstract

[Cu(en){B₆O₇(OH)₆}]^.3H₂O (1) (en = 1,2-diaminoethane), obtained as a crystalline solid in low yield (31%) after prolonged standing of an aqueous solution initially containing [Cu(en)₂](OH)₂ and B(OH)₃ (1:7 ratio), was characterized by thermal analysis (TGA/DSC), ¹¹B NMR and IR spectroscopy, powder XRD, and single-crystal XRD studies, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that the oxidoborate complex is a 1D coordination polymer with the hexaborate(2-) ligand bridging two hexacoordinate Cu^(II) centers, in an alternating a fac-tridentate (κ³-O) and monodentate (κ¹-O) arrangement. Cu-O coordination bonds and extensive H-bonding networks promote and stabilize the self-assembly of [Cu(en){B₆O₇(OH)₆}]^.3H₂O from the Dynamic Combinatorial Libraries of available reactants. [Cu(en){B₆O₇(OH)₆}]^.3H₂O is thermally decomposed to CuB₆O₁₀ in air at 700?°C.
