Organocatalysts Fold to Generate an Active Site Pocket for the Mannich Reaction
2017
Catalysts containing urea, thiourea and tertiary amine groups fold into a three-dimensional organized structure in solution both in the absence as well as in the presence of substrates or substrate analogues, as indicated by solution NMR and computational studies. These foldamer catalysts promote Mannich reactions with both aliphatic and aromatic imines and malonate esters. Hammett plot and secondary kinetic isotope effects provide evidence for the C-C bond forming event as the turnoverlimiting step of the Mannich reaction. Computational studies suggest two viable pathways for the C-C bond formation step, differing in the activation modes of the malonate and imine substrates. The results sh…
Oxygenation of Alkane C−H Bonds with Methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane: Effect of the Substituents and the Solvent on the Reaction Rate
2005
[Chemical reaction: See text] The mechanism of the oxygenation of alkane C-H bonds with methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane (1a) is studied through the effect of the substituent and solvent on the rate of oxygenation of 2-substituted adamantanes (2). The results suggest a remarkable electron deficiency at the reacting carbon atom in the transition state leading to the regular oxygenation products. The linearity of the Hammett plot reveals that the reaction mechanism does not change within a range of 0.15-0.67 units of sigma(I). A change in the solvent does not affect the distribution of the products, indicating a through-bond transmission of the substituent effect as the origin of the deactiva…
Kinetik und Radikalausbeute beim Zerfall tertiärer Hyponitrite
1971
Der thermische Zerfall von Dicumylhyponitrit (1a) ist eine Reaktion erster Ordnung mit einer Aktivierungsenthalpie von 27.3 keal/Mol und einer Aktivierungsentropie von 8.5 cal/Mol·Grad in Isooctan. Die Radikalausbeute fur 1a betragt 84%, fur Di-tert.-butylhyponitrit 92%.
