Experimental and DFT study of the conversion of ephedrine derivatives into oxazolidinones. Double SN2 mechanism against SN1 mechanism

2010

Sulfonation of the N-Boc derivatives of 1,2-aminoalcohols, such as ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, norephedrine, norpseudoephedrine, thiomicamine, and chloramphenicol yields a mixture of the corresponding oxazolidinones with inversion (erythro derivatives) and/or retention of configuration (threo derivatives)at C5. We suggest a competition between two mechanisms: an intramolecular SN2 process initiated by attack of the carbonyl oxygen of the Boc group to the benzylic carbon and the other one through a double SN2 process. In the erythro derivatives the first mechanism is predominant, while in the threo derivatives both mechanisms have similar energy. This hypothesis is supported by theoretical c…

Electrocarboxylation of aromatic ketones: Influence of operative parameters on the competition between ketyl and ring carboxylation

2007

Abstract The purpose of this work is to investigate the effect of operational parameters on the competition between the formation of the target 2-hydroxy-2-arylpropanoic acid and ring carboxylation in the electrocarboxylation of aromatic ketones. For the investigated ketones, this competition has been found to be dramatically influenced by different parameters such as the water content and the ratio between the carbon dioxide and the ketone concentrations (q = [CO2]/[ketone]). In particular, the target carboxylic acid formation can be favoured with respect to ring carboxylation by operating at high q ratios or by addition of small amounts of H2O to the reaction medium. An increase of the wa…

Mechanism of anionic polymerization of (meth)acrylates in the presence of aluminium alkyls

1995

Summary Methyl methacrylate was polymerized with tert-butyl lithium in the presence of triethylaluminum or triisobutylaluminium at -78~ in toluene. As indicated by GPC and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, the polymerization is accompanied by side reactions. The lower oligomers were fractionated by distillation and characterised by NMR, FT-IR, UV and electron impact (EI) mass spectrometry. All these data show that part of the polymer chains are carrying exactly one tert-butyl isoprenyl ketone unit. In order to avoid the formation of tert-butyl isoprenyl ketone a molar ratio of A1/Li > 2 is necessary.

Oxidation of N,N-Benzylalkylamines to Nitrones by Mo(VI) and W(VI) Polyperoxo Complexes

1996

Abstract Oxidation of N,N-benzylalkylamines in chloroform by Mo(VI) and W(VI) polyperoxo complexes (PPC) of general formula Q+3{PO4[MO(O2)2]4}3− (Q+ = onium ion) yield the corresponding nitrones as oxidized products quantitatively. Only in the case of N,N-benzylmethylamine the formation of nitrone is accompanied by 25% of benzaldoxime. Oxidation of N,N-benzyltertbutylamine and N,N-benzylisopropylamine follows second order kinetics. This finding does not disqualify the hypothesis that the reaction might occur by a rate determining nucleophilic attack of the amine onto the peroxide oxygens leading, through a Bartlett-type transition state, to the probable formation of the corresponding hydrox…

γ-radiation-initiated polymerization of vinylidene fluoride in dense carbon dioxide

2002

The γ-ray-initiated batch polymerization of vinylidene fluoride (VF2) has been investigated in dense carbon dioxide under relatively mild operative conditions (T ≤ 40 °C and P < 25 MPa). When the initial VF2 molar concentration was increased from 3.4 to 6.4 mol/L, monomer conversion increased from 20 to 73%; a similar trend was observed for the number-average molecular weight and the molecular complexity of synthesized poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) as determined from rheological measurements. Under all adopted experimental conditions, a synthesized PVDF polymer was collected in the form of a white powder. Despite the inherent heterogeneous character of the polymerization process, a homog…

On the Dichotomic Behavior of the Z-2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazone of 5-Amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole with Acids in Toluene and in Dioxane/Water:  Rea…

2004

The mononuclear rearrangement (MRH) of the Z-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (4a) and of the Z-phenylhydrazone (4b) of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole into the relevant triazoles 5a and 5b in toluene has been quantitatively investigated in the presence of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and of piperidine at 313.1 K. While the behavior in the presence of piperidine recalls the one previously evidenced for some Z-hydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole, the study of the reactivity in the presence of TCA has most interestingly evidenced a general-acid-catalyzed rearrangement for “both” 4a and 4b. Thus, 4a offers the first example of a solvent-dependent dichotomic behavior in MRH processes o…

Step-growth Polymerization ofBistriazolinediones with1,1-Diphenylethylene

1996

The reactions of 4-ethyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (ETD) (1) and 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (PhTD) (2) with 1,1-diphenylethylene (DPE) (3) were investigated at room temperature. The reactions are very fast and are completed in less than 4 min. These reactions lead to the formation of two 2 :1 adducts via double Diels-Alder and Diels-Alder-ene reactions in a ratio of 1.35 : 1. The structure of these adducts where R = Et were determined by X-ray analysis of a single crystal. These compounds were used as models for the polymerization reactions. The reaction of bistriazolinediones (1,6-bis-(3,5-dioxo-1,2,4-triazoline-4-yl)hexane and bis-(p-3,5-dioxo-1,2,4-triazoline-4-ylphenyl)methane…

Cyclodextrins in Polymer Synthesis: Enantiodiscrimination in Free-Radical Polymerization of Cyclodextrin-Complexed Racemic N -Methacryloyl-D,L -pheny…

2003

The enantiodiscriminating polymerization of racemic cyclodextrin-complexed N-methacryloylphenylalanine methyl ester is investigated 1 H NMR spectra of the complexes with methylated β-cyclodextrin in D 2 O manifest splittings due to chiral recognition. The different stabilities of the diastereomeric complexes influence the kinetics of the homopolymerization, particularly at 0°C. An enrichment of the residual N-methacryloyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester of 14% was achieved after 21 h of polymerization.
