75-75-2 Solvolyses of Secondary Sulfonates in Aqueous Ethanol and Acetone. Nonlinear mY Relationships due to Leaving Group and Medium Effects

Solvolitic rate constants for secondary mesylates and tosylates in aqueous ethanol and in aqueous acetone are correlated with Winstein-Grunwald Y values.Curvature of these plots is greatest for tosylates in aqueous ethanol, especially for 2-adamantyl.Because mesylates show little or no curvature, it is argued that the results cannot be explained by mechanistic changes but by solvation effects of the leaving group in the mixed solvents.The parameter, m, measuring response to solvent ionizing power varies from 0.68 for isopropyl to 1.21 for 2-adamantyl mesylate in aqueosus acetone at 25 deg C.An alternative solvent ionizing power parameter for tosylates, YOTs , and the solvent nucleohpilicity parameter, NOTs, are evaluated for 20percent ethanol/water, 20percent acetone/water, and 40percent acetone/water.It is proposed that solvolyses of substrates having the same (or very similar) leaving group should be compared if reliable mechanistic information (e.g., nucleophilic solvation effects) is required.The tendency for "dispersion" of correlation lines for various binary mixed solvents appears to be due to both leaving-group effects and to variations in solvent nucleophilicity.By helping to account for curvature and dispersion in mY correlations, this work supports recent work in which mechanistic information was deduced from similar correlations. https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_75-75-2.htm

726-18-1 Electrophilic alkylations in neutral aqueous or alcoholic solutions

Acid-free Friedel-Crafts chemistry: A paradox? Nucleophilicity scales, based on reactions with benzhydrylium ions, show that many π systems are more nucleophilic than aqueous or alcoholic solutions that are generally employed as solvents for S N 1 reactions. Solvolytically generated carbocations can, therefore, be trapped by donor-substituted arenes and alkenes to form products of Friedel-Crafts-type reactions in neutral aqueous solutions (see scheme). https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_726-18-1.htm

102-82-9 Selective Synthesis of Secondary and Tertiary Amines by Reductive N-Alkylation of Nitriles and N-Alkylation of Amines and Ammonium Formate Catalyzed by Ruthenium Complex

A new ruthenium catalytic system for the syntheses of secondary and tertiary amines via reductive N-alkylation of nitriles and N-alkylation of primary amines is proposed. Isomeric complexes 8 catalyze transfer hydrogenation and N-alkylation of nitriles in ethanol to give secondary amines. Unsymmetrical secondary amines can be produced by N-alkylation of primary amines with alcohols via the borrowing hydrogen methodology. Aliphatic amines were obtained with excellent yields, while only moderate conversions were observed for anilines. Based on kinetic and mechanistic studies, it is suggested that the rate determining step is the hydrogenation of intermediate imine to amine. Finally, ammonium formate was applied as the amination reagent for alcohols in the presence of ruthenium catalyst 8. Secondary amines were obtained from primary alcohols within 24 hours at 100 °C, and tertiary amines can be produced after prolonged heating. Secondary alcohols can only be converted to secondary amines

1023-17-2 Syntheses, structures, and catalytic activity in Friedel–Crafts acylations of substituted tetramethylcyclopentadienyl molybdenum carbonyl complexes

Reactions of the substituted tetramethylcyclopentadienes [C 5 HMe 4 R] [R?=? t Bu, Ph, CH 2 CH 2 C(CH 3 ) 3 ] with Mo(CO) 3 (CH 3 CN) 3 in refluxing xylene gave a series of dinuclear molybdenum carbonyl complexes [(η 5 -C 5 Me 4 R)Mo(CO) 3 ] 2 [R?=? t Bu (1), Ph (2), CH 2 CH 2 C(CH 3 ) 3 (3)], [(η 5 -C 5 Me t Bu)Mo(μ-CO) 2 ] 2 (4)], and [(η 5 -C 5 Me 4 ) t Bu] 2 Mo 2 O 4 (μ-O) (5)], respectively. Complexes 1–5 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1 H NMR, and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. In addition, their crystal structures were determined by X-ray crystal diffraction analysis. The catalytic activities of complexes 1–3 in Friedel–Crafts acylation in the presence of o-chloranil has also been investigated; the reactions were achieved under mild conditions to give the corresponding products in moderate yields. https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_1023-17-2.htm
