Solvatochromism of carbenium,arene EDA (electrondonor,acceptor) complexes and their behaviour on silica

JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 5 2001
Stefan Spange
Abstract Spectral characteristics of two different types of electron donor,acceptor (EDA) complexes with charged components (arene,carbenium and anion,, acceptor) are presented. The UV,Vis absorption maxima of the charge-transfer (CT) band (,max,CT) of the EDA complexes were measured in various solvents and after adsorption on silica. Tropylium, triarylmethylium and diarylmethylium ions in combination with aromatic , donors, e.g. pyrene, acenaphthene and methoxy-substituted benzene derivatives and also the tetraethylammonium iodide,1,3,5-trinitrobenzene complex have been investigated by means of a special UV,Vis technique in transparent slurries of silica nanoparticles in 1,2-dichloroethane. Multiple linear regression analyses of the ,max,CT values of the EDA complexes in various solvents and on silica with the Kamlet,Taft solvent parameters and structure,reactivity terms of the complex components, e.g. the oxidation potential of the arene component or the Hammett substituent constant, ,p+, of the arylmethyl component, show their related properties to the solution complexes. The influence of the electron-pair donating capacity of a solvent on ,max,CT of carbenium/arene complexes was compared with the property of the silica surface in order to link EDA complexes. For the diarylmethyl carbenium ion,pyrene complexes on silica, the presence of a ,-like structure is discussed. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Ortho Effects in Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships for Lipase Inhibition by Aryl Carbamates

MOLECULAR INFORMATICS, Issue 8 2003
Gialih Lin
Abstract Ortho -substituted phenyl- N -butyl carbamates (1,11) are synthesized and evaluated for their inhibition effects on Pseudomonas species lipase. Carbamates 1,11 are characterized as pseudo-substrate inhibitors of the enzyme. The logarithms of dissociation constant (Ki), carbamylation constant (k2), and bimolecular inhibition constant (ki) multiply linearly correlate with Hammett substituent constant (,), Taft-Kutter-Hansch ortho steric constant (ES), and Swan-Lupton field constant (F). For ,logKi -, logk2 -, and logki -correlations, values of ,, ,, f, ,XR are 0.2, ,0.06, ,1.7, 0.8; 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, ,0.07; and ,1.8, 7, 0.6, 5; respectively. The enzyme inhibition mechanism is composed of four steps: 1) the first step which is protonation of carbamates 1,11, 2) the second step (Ki1) which involves in the proton 1,3-shift of protonated carbamates 1,11 then the pseudo- trans to cis conformational change, 3) the third step (Ki2) which is formation of a negative charged enzyme-inhibitor tetrahedral intermediate, and 4) the fourth step (k2) which is the carbamylation step. The former three steps are likely composed of the Ki step. There is little ortho steric enhancement effect in the Ki step. From cross-interaction correlations, distance between carbamate and phenyl substituents in transition state for the Ki step is relatively short due to a large ,XR value of 7. The k2 step is insensitive to ortho steric effect. The k2 step involves in departure of leaving group, substituted phenol in which is protonated from the proton 1,3-shift but not from the active site histidine of the enzyme. From cross-interaction correlations, the distance between carbamate and phenyl substituents in transition state for the k2 step is relatively long due to a small ,XR value of 0.6. [source]


Reaction of 4-benzylidene-2-methyl-5-oxazolone with amines, Part 2: Influence of substituents in para-position in the phenyl ring and a substituent on amine nitrogen atom on the reaction kinetics

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL KINETICS, Issue 3 2002
B. Bet, akowska
An influence of a structure of the amine (benzylamine, N -methyl-benzylamine, N -isopropyl-benzylamine, N -methyl-butylamine, N -ethyl-butylamine, sec -butylamine, and tert -butylamine) on a rate constant of the ring-opening reaction of 4-benzylidene-2-methyl-5-oxazolone (Ox) was studied. The good correlation between logarithm of the rate constants and Charton's steric substituent constant , as well as good correlation with a form of the simple branching equation indicate that there is a steric effect because of substitution at C1 carbon atom of nucleophile which decreases the reaction rate. Additionally, an influence of a structure of the benzylidene moiety of Ox on a rate of the oxazolone ring-opening reaction was studied. The substituents (OH, OCH3, N(CH3)2, Cl, NO2) in para-position of the phenyl ring of Ox substantially modified the rate of the reaction with benzylamine in acetonitrile. The rate of the Ox ring-opening reaction decreased with increase of the electron-donating properties of the substituent. A good correlation between the rate constants of the reaction of 4-(4,-substituted-benzylidene)-2-methyl-5-oxazolones with benzylamine and the electron density at the reaction center (carbon C5 of the oxazolone ring), calculated using ab initio method, and the Hammett substituent constants, and CR equation were established. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and Properties of para -Substituted NCN-Pincer Palladium and Platinum Complexes

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 6 2004
Martijn Q. Slagt Dr.
Abstract A variety of para -substituted NCN-pincer palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes [MX(NCN-Z)] (M=PdII, PtII; X=Cl, Br, I; NCN-Z=[2,6-(CH2NMe2)2C6H2 -4-Z],; Z=NO2, COOH, SO3H, PO(OEt)2, PO(OH)(OEt), PO(OH)2, CH2OH, SMe, NH2) were synthesised by routes involving substitution reactions, either prior to or, notably, after metalation of the ligand. The solubility of the pincer complexes is dominated by the nature of the para substituent Z, which renders several complexes water-soluble. The influence of the para substituent on the electronic properties of the metal centre was studied by 195Pt NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. Both the 195Pt chemical shift and the calculated natural population charge on platinum correlate linearly with the ,p Hammett substituent constants, and thus the electronic properties of predesigned pincer complexes can be predicted. The ,p value for the para -PtI group itself was determined to be ,1.18 in methanol and ,0.72 in water/methanol (1/1). Complexes substituted with protic functional groups (CH2OH, COOH) exist as dimers in the solid state due to intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions. Een verscheidenheid aan para-gesubstitueerde NCN-pincer-palladium(II) en -platina(II) complexen [MX(NCN-Z)] (M=PdII, PtII; X=Cl, Br, I; NCN-Z=[2,6-(CH2NMe2)C6H2 -4-Z],; Z=NO2, COOH, SO3H, PO(OEt)2, PO(OH)(OEt), PO(OH)2, CH2OH, SMe, NH2) is gesynthetiseerd via substitutiereacties zowel voor, en hoogst opmerkelijk, ook na de metallering van het ligand. De oplosbaarheid van de pincer-complexen wordt gedomineerd door de aard van de para -substituent Z, waardoor enkele van de complexen wateroplosbaar zijn. De invloed van de para -substituent op de elektronische eigenschappen van het metaalcentrum is bestudeerd met behulp van195Pt-NMR en DFT-berekeningen. Zowel de chemische verschuiving van de195Pt-kern, als de berekende ,natural population, lading op platina vertonen een lineaire correlatie met de ,pHammett-substituentconstante, hetgeen het voorspellen van de elektronische eigenschappen van nieuwe pincercomplexen mogelijk maakt. De ,p -waarde van de para-PtI eenheid blijkt respectievelijk ,1.18 in methanol en ,0.72 in waterige methanol (1/1, v/v) te zijn. Door de aanwezigheid van intermoleculaire waterstofbruggen komen de complexen met protische functionele groepen (CH2OH, COOH) in de vaste stof voor als dimeren. [source]


Correlation analysis of reactivity in the oxidation of anilines by nicotinium dichromate in nonaqueous media

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL KINETICS, Issue 11 2006
D. S. Bhuvaneshwari
The kinetics of oxidation of 15 para- and meta-substituted anilines by nicotinium dichromate (NDC) in different organic solvent media in the presence of p -toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH) has been investigated. The rate of the reaction is zero order with respect to substrate, first order in NDC, and is found to increase with increase in [TsOH]. The various thermodynamic parameters for the oxidation have been reported and discussed along with the validity of the isokinetic relationship. The specific rate of oxidizing species-anilines reaction (k2) correlates with Hammett's substituent constants affording negative reaction constants. The effect of para- and meta-substituents on the oxidation rates confirms to Swain et al.'s substituent constants F and R, both with negative reaction constants. The rate data failed to correlate with macroscopic solvent parameters such as ,r and E while showing satisfactory correlation with Kamlet,Taft's solvatochromic parameters (,, ,, and ,*). © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
