Kinetic studies on the formation of N-nitroso compounds

Acetic acid/acetate ion buffer acts catalytically upon the nitrosation of amines under conditions in which the only nitrosating agents are N₂O₃ and NOBr, but inhibits nitrosation by H₂NO ₂ ⁺ . The kinetic characteristics of these phenomena have been analysed quantitatively and compared with similar effects caused by the solventsTHF, DMSO and dioxane. The experimental results show that this behaviour is an effect of the medium.

Kinetische Untersuchungen zur Bildung von N-Nitroso-Verbindungen, 8. Mitt.: Nachweis eines Medium-Effekts von Essigsäure/Acetat-Puffer auf die Geschwindigkeitskonstante der Nitrosierung

Zusammenfassung Essigsäure/Acetat-Puffer wirkt bei der Nitrosierung von Aminen katalytisch, unter Bedingungen, wo die alleinigen nitrosierenden Agentien N₂O₃ und NOBr sind; andererseits wird die Nitrosierung durch H₂NO ₂ ⁺ unterbunden. Die kinetischen Charakteristika dieses Phänomens wurden quantitativ analysiert und mit ähnlichen Effekten der LösungsmittelTHF, DMSO und Dioxan verglichen. Die experimentellen Ergebnisse zeigen, daß dieses Verhalten auf einen Mediumeffekt zurückzuführen ist.

     

Kinetic studies on the formation of N-nitroso compounds IX. Nitrosyl acetate as a nitrosating agent

A study of the nitrosation of N-methylaniline and piperazine by nitrous acid in acetate buffer supports a mechanism covering both reactions, whose effective pathway depends on the relationship between the concentrations of nitrite ion, acetate ion, and nitrosatable substrate. In the case of N-methylaniline the only nitrosating agent is nitrosyl acetate, whereas in the nitrosation of piperazine the nitrous acidium ion and dinitrogen trioxide are also involved.The results obtained seem to show that nitrosation by nitrosyl acetate is diffusion controlled. On this assumption, the equilibrium constant of the reactionAcOH + HNO₂ AcONO + H₂O has been estimated from kinetic measurements as approximately 1.4 · 10^–8 M ^–1. This means that the concentration of nitrosyl acetate in the medium must be extremely small, which explains the virtual impossibility of detecting it in aqueous solution except by kinetic methods.

Kinetische Untersuchungen zur Bildung von N-Nitroso-Verbindungen, 9. Mitt.: Nitrosylacetat als Nitrosierungsreagens

Zusammenfassung Die Untersuchung der Nitrosierung von N-Methylanilin und Piperazin mit Salpetriger Säure in Acetat-Puffer unterstützt einen für beide Fälle geltenden Mechanismus, dessen effektiver Ablauf von den Konzentrationsverhältnissen des Nitritions, des Acetations und der nitrosierbaren Substanz abhängt. Im Fall des N-Methylanilins ist das einzige Nitrosierungsagens Nitrosylacetat, während bei der Nitrosierung von Piperazin das Nitrit-Acidium-Ion und Distickstofftrioxid ebenfalls beteiligt sind.Die erhaltenen Resultate scheinen zu zeigen, daß die Nitrosierung durch Nitrosylacetat diffusionskontrolliert ist. Unter dieser Annahme kann die Gleichgewichtskonstante der ReaktionAcOH + HNO₂ AcONO + H₂O aus kinetischen Messungen zu etwa 1,4 · 10^–8 M ^–1 abgeschätzt werden. Das bedeutet, daß die Konzentration von Nitrosylacetat im Medium extrem gering sein muß; das erklärt die praktische Undetektierbarkeit dieser Spezies in wäßriger Lösung, ausgenommen mit kinetischen Methoden.

The formation of the lanthanide (La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Lu) complexes with proline and hydroxyproline has been investigated by potentiometric methods as well as by a turbidimetric one which has provided some additional conclusions. It has been found that 11 and a slight amount of 21 complexes are formed. The deviation from the typical course of the formation function is discussed. It is suggested that the perturbations of complex formation in the systems are caused by hydrolysis. The stability constants of the complexes are reported.

Kinetics of photoreduction of 9,10-phenanthrenequinone in the presence of amines and polymethylbenzenes

A study of the kinetics of photoreduction of 9,10-phenanthrenequinone in the presence of hydrogen donors (para-substituted N,N-dimethylanilines and polymethylbenzenes) showed that plots of the quantum yield of photoreduction (_H) and apparent reaction rate constant (k _H) vs. oxidation potential of hydrogen donors are extreme. In the presence of amines, k _H and _H increase, as a whole, whereas they decrease in the presence of polymethylbenzenes. In coordinates _H-G _e (G _e is the change in the free energy of electron transfer) for pairs quinone-H donor, _H increases with G _e approaching to zero. For the amine series, this effect is mainly in the exothermic region of G _e (G _e < 0). For the series of polymethylbenzenes, this increase is observed in the endothermic region (G _e > 0).__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The combination of 2-NsNH2/NCS and MeCN as the nitrogen sources for the regio- and stereoselective formation of imidazolines from α,β-unsaturated ketones

A new nitrogen source combination was found for the regio- and stereoselective diamination of α,β-unsaturated ketones. This combination employs the readily available and inexpensive combination of NCS and 2-NsNH₂ as the electrophilic nitrogen source, and acetonitrile as the nucleophilic nitrogen source, respectively. The reaction is easily performed by mixing olefin, 2-NsNH₂, NCS and 4 Å molecular sieves in freshly distilled acetonitrile at room temperature. The reaction is chemoselective without the formation of any haloamine side products. A new aziridinium ion formed from enones and 2-NsNHCl is suggested to exist and to react with nitrile via a [2+3] cycloaddition mechanism, which is responsible for the excellent regio-, stereoselectivity of the resulting diamination products.

Di-isophorone and related compounds. Part 6. The action of nucleophiles on 8-bromodi-isophorone

Hydrolysis and acetolysis of 8-bromo-1-hydroxydi-isophor-2(7)-en-3-one yields both epimeric forms of the corresponding 4-hydroxy and 4-acetoxy-compounds, probably by a mechanism involving a bimolecular (SN2) displacement. The action of excess of hydrazine on the same reactant occurs with evolution of ammonia, to produce good yields of 4-hydrazono-1-hydroxydi-isophor-2(7)-en-3-one. This is convertible into N- and O-acyl derivatives, but its 3-oxo-group fails to raact with the usual ketonic reagents. Instead, its 4-hydrazono-group is displaced by substituted hydrazines and semicarbazides in an exchange process (transhydrazination).Part 5:A. A. Allen, F. Kurzer, andA. R. Morgan, J. C. S.

Kinetic studies on the formation ofN-nitroso compounds. IV. Formation of mononitrosopiperazine and general discussion ofN-nitrosation mechanisms in aqueous perchloric solution

The mechanism of formation ofN-nitroso compounds, which are considered as potential chemical carcinogens was studied. The kinetics of nitrosation of piperazine (PIP) in aqueous solution of perchloric acid have been investigated using a differential spectrophotometric technique. Based on our experimental results, the following rate law, in thepH-range 0.85 4.36, is proposed: $$v_0 = \left[ {nitrite} \right]_0 2 \left[ {PIP} \right]_0 /\left( {1 + f/\left[ {H^ + } \right]} \right)^2 \left( {g \left[ {PIP} \right]_0 + h + j\left[ {H^ \div } \right]} \right)$$ where [nitrite]₀ and [PIP]₀ represent initial stoichiometric concentrations. At 298.2K and μ=1.0M,f=(1.17±0.11) 10^?3 M,g=(3.5±0.7) 10^?2 M s,h=2.6×10^?6 M ² s andj=(0.95±0.04)M s. When the acidity is increased ([HClO₄]≥1M), a new kinetic term comes into play: $$v_0 ' = p\left[ {nitrite} \right]_0 \left[ {PIP} \right]_0 $$ At 298.2 K and μ=3.0M,p=(1.9±0.2) 10^?3 M ^?1 s^?1. A general mechanism for the nitrosation of anyN-nitrosable substrate in aqueous perchloric solution in which the only nitrosating agents are N₂O₃ and H₂NO₂ ⁺/NO⁺ is proposed. Also, the various particularities of this mechanism, according to thepK of theN-nitrosable substrate, are discussed.     

Structure effects of the protonated lincomycin molecule on the mechanism of its complexation with organic compounds

The mechanism of complexation of the protonated lincomycin molecule with para-substituted nitrobenzenes in the gas phase is analyzed by quantum chemical methods. The regioselectivity of lincomycin protonation is treated in a B3LYP/6-31G(d′, p) approximation; the geometrical structure and conformation of the molecule are analyzed. The lincomycin molecule is protonated at the nitrogen atom of the pyrrolidine cycle. In stable conformers, a pseudovoid is formed and stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The cross section of the pseudovoid (1.77–2.62 Å) is too small for the protonated lincomycin molecule to participate in host guest complexation with organic compounds. According to B3LYP/6-31G(d′, p) calculations, complexation of the protonated lincomycin molecule with nitrobenzenes occurs through hydrogen bonding.     

Dipole moments of some substituted benzaldehydes. Conformational preference of substituents ortho to the aldehyde group

The dipole moments of a number of substituted benzaldehydes are measured in benzene solution. The angle which the dipole axis of the CHO group makes with the axis of rotation of the group is determined. The observed moments of the ortho-substituted benzaldehydes are compared with the moments calculated for free rotation as well as fors-trans ands-cis orientations of the -CHO group.o-Fluorobenzaldehyde exists mostly in thes-trans conformation.o-Chloro-,o-bromo-ando-nitro-benzaldehydcs also exist in thes-trans conformation; their observed dipole moments are even lower than the values calculated fors-trans forms, indicating mutual induction of the ortho substituents. Though 2,5-dichlorobenzaldehyde is expected to have the same dipole moment as benzaldehyde, the observed moment is significantly lower due to mutual induction of the ortho substituents. 2,5-Dimethylbcnzaldehyde has, however, almost the same moment as benzaldehyde. The dipole moment ofo-methoxybcnzaldchyde is considerably higher than the values calculated for boths-cis ands-trans conformations. An explanation is given for this.o-Hydroxybenzaldehyde exists exclusively in thes-cis form due to internal H-bonding.
