Chemical and spectroscopical evidence for an electron‐transfer mechanism in the reaction of arenesulfonyl chlorides with anions
1989
The reaction of amide and amidate anions 2 with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (1) under different reaction conditions gives rise to the total or partial reduction of the acyl halide to p-toluenesulfinic acid (5) and acylation compounds in variable amounts depending on the crowding at the anionic center. This indicates that a Single-Electron Transfer (SET) mechanism is involved in the reactions of 1 with anions. Unpaired electron species are detected by ESR in the course of the reactions.
Calix[4]arenes bridged at the lower rim
1990
Calix[41 arenes, in which two opposite p-positions are linked by an aliphatic chain, and their derivatives show transport or complexation properties strongly dependent on the length of this chain. Bicyclo-calix[4]arenes, a special case of 1,3-bridged calix[41 arenes, and annelated calix[41 arenes, a special case of 1 ,&bridged calix [4] arenes, are also described. Although the preferred conformation of calix[4]arenes is the coneconformation due to its stabilization by a cyclic array of hydrogen bonds between the phenolic hydroxyl goups, these molecules are flexible, with a cone to cone inversion rate of about 150 8-1 for a calix[glarene at 47OC (ref. 1). The cone (or any other) conformation…
