On-Line Standard Addition Technique for the Determination of Elements in the Samples with High Dissolved Solids by ICP-OES: Application to Determination of Rare Earth Elements in Geological Samples

A simple and rapid on-line standard addition method for analysis of samples with high dissolved solids by ICP-OES is reported. The method involves on-line addition of standard solutions to the sample using a T-piece, prior to the sample introduction system. The standard addition method is commonly used in the analysis of samples with complex matrices. However, the conventional standard addition method is a tedious and time-consuming process. Therefore, in this study, on-line standard addition technique was offered to significantly decrease the analysis time and increase the simplicity of the standard addition method. The performance of the proposed method was tested by determination of rare earth elements in geological samples. This method showed a high level of accuracy in comparison with external calibration and internal standard addition methods.     

Radiation-Induced Addition Reaction of Ethyl Mercaptan and Carbon Tetrachloride to 1,2-Polybutadiene

γ-Ray-induced addition reactions of syndiotactic 1,2-polybuta-diene film with various compounds were carried out at room temperature. The weight of the film markedly increased when ethyl mercaptan was used. In the reaction with ethyl mercaptan, only addition took place without crosslinking. The addition of ethyl mercaptan to the vinyl group of syndiotactic 1,2-poly-butadiene followed anti-Markownikoff rule, and gave a 1:1 addition product. The rate of addition increased as the crys-tallinity of syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene used became lower. A similar relation between the crystallinity and the rate of addition was also observed in the γ-ray-induced addition of carbon tetrachloride to syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene, but at the same time gelation was pronounced. When liquid 1,2-polybutadiene was used instead of syndiotactic-1,2-polybutadiene, gelation which made the polymer insoluble in carbon tetrachloride did not take place, although a crosslinking reaction was noted. The appearance of the product in this case changed from a viscous liquid to a white powder as the reaction proceeded. The addition of carbon tetrachloride to the vinyl group of liquid 1,2-polybutadiene was also of the anti-Markownikoff type. This addition was accompanied by unexpectedly large vinyl consumption. The total decrease in vinyl group was found to be much larger than the decrease in vinyl group which was brought about by the addition of carbon tetrachloride. This discrepancy was attributed to cyclization and crosslinking reactions which were ascribed to the vinyl group bound by the main chain.     

Comparison of the kinetics and thermodynamics for methyl radical addition to C=C, C=O, and C=S double bonds

The barriers, enthalpies, and rate constants for the addition of methyl radical to the double bonds of a selection of alkene, carbonyl, and thiocarbonyl species (CH(2)=Z, CH(3)CH=Z, and (CH(3))(2)C=Z, where Z = CH(2), O, or S) and for the reverse beta-scission reactions have been investigated using high-level ab inito calculations. The results are rationalized with the aid of the curve-crossing model. The addition reactions proceed via early transition structures in all cases. The barriers for addition of methyl radical to C=C bonds are largely determined by the reaction exothermicities. Addition to the unsubstituted carbon center of C=C double bonds is favored over addition to the substituted carbon center, both kinetically (lower barriers) and thermodynamically (greater exothermicities). The barriers for addition to C=O bonds are influenced by both the reaction exothermicity and the singlet-triplet gap of the substrate. Addition to the carbon center is favored over addition to the oxygen, also both thermodynamically and kinetically. For the thiocarbonyl systems, addition to the carbon center is thermodynamically favored over addition to sulfur. However, in this case, the reaction is contrathermodynamic, addition to the sulfur center having a lower barrier due to spin density considerations. Entropic differences among corresponding addition and beta-scission reactions are relatively minor, and the differences in reaction rates are thus dominated by differences in the respective reaction barriers.     

Superacid-promoted additions involving vinyl-substituted pyrimidines, quinoxalines, and quinazolines: mechanisms correlated to charge distributions

The superacid-promoted reactions of vinyl-substituted N-heterocycles have been studied. Diprotonated pyrimidines, quinoxalines, and quinazolines exhibit an unusual regioelectronic effect that controls the type of addition reaction observed. Depending on the ring position of the vinyl substituent, either conjugate addition or Markovnikov addition occurs. The mode of addition has been shown to correlate well to NBO calculated charges.     

The addition of sp2- and sp-hybridized nucleophiles to a bridgehead bromoketone

The reaction of various sp2- and sp-hybridized organolithium species with bromoketone 1 is presented. In most cases, control over the course of the process is possible and products from simple addition, addition followed by a quasi-Favorskii rearrangement or addition, rearrangement, and addition can be selectively prepared.     

A highly regio- and enantioselective organocatalyzed Michael addition of malonates to nitrodienes

An organocatalyzed direct Michael addition of unsubstituted/substituted malonates, acetoacetate, or acetylacetones to conjugated nitrodienes using a cinchona alkaloid-based thiourea catalyst is disclosed. The addition products were formed in high yields and regioselectivity. The enantioselectivities of the addition products were high in most cases and could significantly be improved upon by a single recrystallization. The addition products easily undergo chemoselective nitro group reduction and subsequent lactamization with a high synthetic potential.     

Theoretical evidence for the nucleophilic addition of sulfur dioxide to 1,2-bridged chloronium and bromonium ions

The nucleophilic addition of SO2, SO2ClF, and SO2F2 to carbenium ions and the nucleophilic addition of SO2 to 1,2-bridged halonium ions are theoretically investigated by using B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p). On the basis of geometric changes in ion-solvent complexes compared to isolated molecules, the theoretical data for the addition of solvent to carbenium ions uniformly agree with experiments by Olah and Donovan. The relative reactivity of carbenium ions (methyl > ethyl > iso-propyl > tert-butyl) follows the familiar trend based on electron demand at the carbenium center. The theoretical data for the addition of SO2 to 1,2-bridged halonium ions with use of similar methods indicate that this addition exhibits a reversed trend on the basis of the electron demand; SO2 adds to 2,2-dimethylethylene chloronium and bromonium ions but does not add to the fluoronium analogue. Furthermore, the addition depends on the stereochemistry of the approaching SO2. When SO2 approaches syn to the halogen atom on the halonium ion, addition is observed. When SO2 is anti, addition is not observed. The reversed reactivity and stereochemistry of the addition of SO2 to halonium ions can be explained by electron donation from the halogen atom to the sulfur atom of the approaching SO2. This sulfur-halogen interaction activates the nucleophilicity of the approaching SO2 and makes a normally unreactive tertiary carbenium carbon susceptible to addition. The theoretical evidence for covalently bound halonium ion-SO2 complexes is discussed in the context of previously reported experimental evidence for the existence of equilibria involving beta-halocarbenium ions.     

Catalytic asymmetric addition of dialkylzinc reagents to alpha-aldiminoesters

[reaction: see text] The first catalytic, enantioselective addition of organozinc reagents to alpha-aldiminoesters is described. The use of a Lewis acid/Lewis base containing bifunctional catalyst preorganizes both reactive substrates to promote enantioselective addition over the racemic background reaction and alternative addition modes. Alcohol additives were found to enhance the enantioselection. The addition product was also found to cyclize with remaining substrate to provide imidazolidines.     

Computational Study on OH Addition Reactions of Three Sulfonamides in Aqueous Solution

OH addition reactions of cationic,neutral and anionic forms of three sulfonamides(sulfamethoxazole,sulfadiazine and sulfapyridine)in aqueous solution were theoretically studied using density functional theory(DFT)method at the M06-2X/6-311+G(3df,2p)level.Transition state theory was applied to estimate the secondary rate constants for these elementary reactions.The obtained results indicate that OH addition reactions of sulfonamides can take place spontaneously at standard conditions.The anionic form of three sulfonamides has the highest addition activity,while the corresponding cationic form is the most inactive addition reagent.The benzene ring of neutral forms of three sulfonamides is always a more favorable site for OH radical addition than the oxazole,pyrimidine or pyridine ring.C(3)or(and)C(5)atoms of benzene ring are the most favorable positions for OH addition occurring in benzene ring.Although the water solvent has no remarkable effect on OH addition reactions of neutral sulfonamides,it exerts a significant adverse influence on OH addition reactions of ionic sulfonamides.

Intermolecular reductive radical addition to 2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethylidene)-1,3-dithiane 1-oxide: experimental and theoretical studies

Tin hydride mediated radical addition of organic halide to 2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethylidene)-1,3-dithiane 1-oxide has been devised. The reaction is equivalent to an unrealizable radical addition to trifluoromethylketene, providing useful α-trifluoromethyl carbonyl equivalents. The trifluoromethyl and the sulfoxide groups of the substrate play key roles for the success of the radical addition, lowering the barrier of the radical addition step and controlling the stereoselectivity of the reaction, which DFT calculations have elucidated.

Comparaison de la reactivite du bromure d'ethylmagnesium et du diethylmagnesium vis-a-vis des cetones α,β-ethyleniques dans divers solvants

The reactivity of diethylmagnesium and ethylmagnesium bromide towards 2-cyclohexenone in various solvents is studied. The 1,2 addition is always predominant, but diethylmagnesium adds almost exclusively in 1,2 manner to this ketone while ethylmagnesium bromide gives both 1,2 and 1,4 addition products with a ratio dependent of the solvent basicity. Thus, in hydrocarbons (hexane, benzene), the magnesium reagents behave similary; and with more basic solvents, for EtMgBr the yield of the 1,4 addition product increases and that of the 1,2 addition product decreases.With another α,β-ethylenic ketone, trans-3-penten-2-one, 1,4 addition occurs predominantly with both magnesium reagents, diethylmagnesium and ethylmagnesium bromide, but diethylmagnesium gives again much more 1,2 addition product than ethylmagnesium bromide.     

Experimental and theoretical studies on Mannich-type reactions of chiral non-racemic N-(benzyloxyethyl) nitrones

The nucleophilic addition of both silyl ketene acetals and lithium enolates derived from methyl acetate to chiral non-racemic N-(benzyloxyethyl)nitrones has been studied both experimentally and theoretically. Aromatic nitrones showed lower reactivity that aliphatic nitrones and the addition of the silyl ketene acetal led to lower selectivities than the addition of the corresponding lithium enolate. Whereas low selectivity was obtained for the addition of the silyl ketene acetal, only one diastereomer could be detected in all cases for the addition of lithium enolate to aliphatic nitrones. The synthetic utility of the two chiral auxiliaries employed lies in the preparation of enantiomeric compounds. DFT theoretical calculations confirmed the stepwise mechanism for the addition of silyl ketene acetals to nitrones and are in good agreement with the observed experimental results.     

Reactivity of (eta(6)-arene)tricarbonylchromium complexes toward additions of anions, cations, and radicals.

A computational and experimental study of additions of electrophiles, nucleophiles, and radicals to tricarbonylchromium-complexed arenes is reported. Competition between addition to a complexed arene and addition to a noncomplexed arene was tested using 1,1-dideuterio-1-iodo-2-((phenyl)tricarbonylchromium)-2-phenylethane. Reactions under anionic and cationic conditions give exclusive formation of 1,1-dideuterio-1-((phenyl)tricarbonylchromium)-2-phenylethane arising from addition to the complexed arene. Radical conditions (SmI(2)) afford two isomeric products, reflecting a 2:1 preference for radical addition to the noncomplexed arene. In contrast, intermolecular radical addition competition experiments employing ketyl radical addition to benzene and (benzene)tricarbonylchromium show that addition to the complexed aromatic ring is faster than attack on the noncomplexed species by a factor of at least 100,000. Density functional theory calculations using the B3LYP method, employing a LANL2DZ basis set for geometry optimizations and a DZVP2+ basis set for energy calculations, for all three reactive intermediates showed that tricarbonylchromium stabilizes all three types of intermediates. The computational results for anionic addition agree well with established chemistry and provide structural and energetic details as reference points for comparison with the other reactive intermediates. Intermolecular radical addition leads to exclusive reaction on the complexed arene ring as predicted by the computations. The intramolecular radical reaction involves initial addition to the complexed arene ring followed by an equilibrium leading to the observed product distribution due to a high-energy barrier for homolytic cleavage of an exo bond in the intermediate cyclohexadienyl radical complex. Mechanisms are explored for electrophilic addition to complexed arenes. The calculations strongly favor a pathway in which the cation initially adds to the metal center rather than to the arene ring.     

Copper-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition of Grignard reagents to trisubstituted enones. Construction of all-carbon quaternary chiral centers

The copper-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition of Grignard reagents to trisubstituted cyclic enones affords enantioenriched all-carbon quaternary centers with up to 96% ee. The chiral ligand is a diaminocarbene, directly generated in situ. The combination of Grignard reagent and diaminocarbene is unprecedented in conjugate addition, and the additon of the phenyl group, on such enones, cannot be done by other conjugate addition methods.     

Aromatic Character of All Possible C_(36)H_2 Isomers

1 INTRODUCTION Hydrogenated fullerenes have become one of the most intense studies of fullerene chemistry. Most researches are mainly focused on C60 and C70 cages, and C36 has received much attention in recent years. In 1998, Piscoti et al.[1] reported a solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement on a C36 solid and suggested that the C36 molecule has D6h symmetry. In 2000, Koshio etc.[2, 3] reported the syntheses of a number of compounds of C36, i.e., C36H4, C36H6, C3…     

Diastereoselective intermolecular radical addition to nitrones

The intermolecular radical addition to chiral nitrones 2, 4, 5, and 16 was studied. The isopropyl radical addition to Oppolzer's camphorsultam derivative 2 of glyoxylic nitrone proceeded with excellent diastereoselectivity to give the desired isopropylated product 3a accompanied by the diisopropylated product 3b. A high degree of stereocontrol in the reaction of cyclic nitrone 4 was achieved. The ethyl radical addition to nitrone 4 with triethylborane afforded the desired ethylated product 9a accompanied by the diethylated product 10a and the ethylated nitrone 11a. To evaluate the utility of cyclic nitrone 4, several alkyl radicals were employed in the addition reaction, which afforded the alkylated products 9b-d with excellent diastereoselectivities. In the presence of Mg(ClO(4))(2), the ethyl radical addition to BIGN 16 afforded selectively syn isomers. In contrast, the alkyl radical addition to 16 took place even in the absence of Lewis acid to give anti isomers.     

[6+2] Cycloaddition of N-phenyltriazolinedione with cycloheptatriene derivatives mediated and stereodirected by a chiral 3-oxy substituent

The addition of N-phenyltriazolinedione to a 7,7-dimethylcycloheptatriene derivative afforded a [6+2] adduct, which was found to be produced by the rearrangement of an initially formed [4+2] adduct. The regioselectivity of the initial addition was controlled by the 3-oxy-substituent, which also mediates the PTAD addition to the tropilidene form. The chiral 3-substituent also controlled the stereoselectivity of the addition to a high degree.     

Halobenzenes and Ir(I): kinetic C-H oxidative addition and thermodynamic C-Hal oxidative addition

A (PNP)Ir fragment undergoes facile, room-temperature oxidative addition of C-H bonds in arenes and haloarenes in preference to aromatic carbon-halogen bonds. This preference, however, is determined to be kinetic in nature. Oxidative addition of C-Cl and C-Br is preferred thermodynamically. The products of the C-Cl or C-Br oxidative addition are separated from the C-H oxidative addition products by a high activation barrier and are only accessible at >100 degrees C. Of the C-H oxidative addition products of chlorobenzene, the isomer with the o-ClC6H4 ligand has the lowest energy.
