Aryl carbinols as nerve agent probes. Influence of the conjugation on the sensing properties
2012
Two new aryl carbinols (1 and 3) have been synthesised and characterised and their ability as OFF-ON probes for the chromogenic detection of the nerve agent simulant in acetonitrile has been tested. In addition compound 2 has been also studied. The carbinols suffered a phosphorylation reaction followed by an elimination process giving rise to the corresponding carbocations. This transformation of the carbinol into the carbocation is responsible for a significant color change. © The Royal Society of Chemistry and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique 2012.
A theoretical and experimental study of the formation mechanism of 4-X-chalcones by the Claisen–Schmidt reaction
2000
Abstract A theoretical and experimental study on the formation of 4-X-chalcones (X=H, Cl, F, OCH3, N(CH3)2) was carried out by the Claisen–Schmidt reaction. The influence of pH and temperature was analyzed. Under the adopted experimental conditions 4-X-chalcones were the only reaction products. In the theoretical study, the thermodynamic magnitudes and the reactivity indexes calculated with the AM1 method were used. The mechanism of Nayak and Rout was analyzed critically and a new mechanism was proposed, characterized by: (1) rapid nucleophilic attack of the catalyst (OH−) on the carbon atom of the methyl group of acetophenone; (2) attacks of the acetophenonate ion on the carbon atom of the…
Understanding the mechanism of the Povarov reaction. A DFT study
2014
The molecular mechanism of the Povarov reaction in acetonitrile has been studied at the MPWB1K/6-311G** level of theory. This reaction follows a domino process that comprises two sequential reactions: (i) a Lewis acid catalysed aza-Diels–Alder (A-DA) reaction between a N-aryl imine and a nucleophilic ethylene yielding a formal [4 + 2] cycloadduct; (ii) a stepwise 1,3-hydrogen shift at this intermediate affording the final tetrahydroquinoline. At this computational level, the Lewis acid catalysed A-DA reaction presents a two-step mechanism as a consequence of the large stabilisation of the corresponding zwitterionic intermediate. Our study allows establishing that the N-aryl substituent has …
Mechanistic details of the domino reaction of nitronaphthalenes with the electron-rich dienes. A DFT study
2008
Abstract The reaction of 1-nitronaphthalene ( 1 ) with the Danishefsky diene ( 2 ) to give the dihydrophenanthrene derivative 11 has been theoretically studied using DFT methods. This reaction is a domino process that is initialized by a polar Diels–Alder reaction between 1 and 2 to give the formally [2 + 4] cycloadduct 3 . The subsequent concerted elimination of nitrous acid ( 4 ) from 3 yields 11 . Analysis of the global reactivity indices as well as the thermodynamic data for this domino process indicate that while the large electrophilic character of 1 together with the large nucleophilic character of 2 are responsible for the participation of these reagents in a polar Diels–Alder react…
ansa-[(tert-Butylamino)(isodicyclopentadienyl)dimethylsilane]Zr(NMe2)2prepared by an amine-elimination reaction
2003
An amine-elimination reaction was used to obtain the title compound, i.e. (N-tert-butyl-N-[[(1,2,3,3a,7a-eta)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4,7-methano-1H-inden-2-yl]dimethylsilyl]amido-kappaN)bis(N-methylmethanaminato-kappaN)zirconium(IV) or [isodiCpSiMe(2)N-tert-butyl]Zr(NMe(2))(2) (Cp is cyclopentadienyl), [Zr(C(16)H(25)NSi)(C(2)H(6)N)(2)], in very good yield. Treatment of isodiCpHSiMe(2)NH-tert-butyl with Zr(NMe(2))(4) leads to the formation of a yellow solid that can be purified by sublimation. The single-crystal structure of the product shows the exo complexation of the isodicyclopentadienyl ligand to the Zr atom. The Cp portion of this ligand is bonded to the Zr atom in a eta(5) manner, with a …
Towards an intrinsic nucleofugality scale: the leaving group (lg) ability in ch(3)lg model system
2006
Abstract For an important class of organic reactions in which a fragment of the reactants, the leaving group (LG) or nucleofuge (Z), is detached of the substrate bearing the bonding electron pair, the global electrophilicity index of the CH3LG system is proposed as a reliable descriptor of the intrinsic nucleofugality of the LG. The model is illustrated by ranking within a unique relative scale, the LG ability of 28 functional groups commonly involved in substitution and elimination reactions in organic chemistry.
PHOSPHORORGANISCHE VERBINDUNGEN 1121REAKTIVITÄT UND SELEKTIVITÄT VON VINYLPHOSPHONIUMSALZEN UND VINYLPHOSPHINOXIDEN GEGENÜBER NUCLEOPHILEN
1984
Abstract As a result of competition reactions triphenylvinylphosphonium bromide 1 is SH-selective. But the reactivity is significantly reduced in comparison to the vinyl sulfones. The elimination reaction (b) is also slowed down compared with the cleavage of the corresponding sulfones. In diphenylvinylphosphine oxide 2 the SH-selectivity is preserved. The rate of the reactions (a) and (b) is so extremely slow that 2 has no chance as a SH-protective reagent. Triphenyl-vinylphosphoniumbromid 1 reagiert in Konkurrenzversuchen mit RXH (X=O, S, NH) SH-selektiv bei deutlich reduzierter Reaktivitat im Vergleich zu den Vinylsulfonen. Auch die Eliminierung nach (b) verlauft langsamer als bei analoge…
Cycloaddition von benzothiet an oxime, oximether und oximester
1991
Benzothiete 1 generates by thermal ring opening an 8π electron system 2 which undergoes [8π + 2π] cycloaddition reactions with the oxime systems 3a-g. In accordance with the FMO theory the 1,3-thiazine derivatives 4a-g are formed in a regiospecific and 4f additionally in a stereospecific manner. The O-acylated adducts 4h-j enter the same cycloaddition; however, an elimination reaction 4 5, 6 can provoke the addition of a second benzothiete, yielding the tetracyclic compounds 7j, and 8i,j.
Understanding the domino reaction between 3-chloroindoles and methyl coumalate yielding carbazoles. A DFT study.
2014
The molecular mechanism of the reaction between N-methyl-3-chloroindole and methyl coumalate yielding carbazole has been studied using DFT methods at the MPWB1K/6-311G(d,p) level in toluene. This reaction is a domino process that comprises three consecutive reactions: (i) a polar Diels-Alder (P-DA) reaction between indole and methyl coumalate yielding two stereoisomeric [2 + 4] cycloadducts (CAs); (ii) the elimination of HCl from these CAs affording two stereoisomeric intermediates; and (iii) the extrusion of CO2 in these intermediates, finally yielding the carbazole. This P-DA reaction proceeds in a completely regioselective and slightly exo selective fashion. In spite of the highly polar …
A study of the influence of ionic liquids properties on the Kemp elimination reaction
2009
The morpholino-induced elimination of 5-nitrobenzisoxazole into the relevant 2-cyano-4-nitrophenolate has been used as a sample reaction in order to investigate molecular properties of some room temperature ionic liquids. The kinetic study was carried out at 298 K by means of spectrophotometric measurements. Ionic liquids, which differ in both their cation and anion properties, were used as solvent systems. In particular, aliphatic (pyrrolidinium, piperidinium, and ammonium) and aromatic (imidazolium and pyridinium) ionic liquids were used. For aromatic cations, imidazolium ions having different hydrogen-bond donor ability or a different alkyl-chain length were taken into account. The anion…
