[source] Imidazol(in)ium-2-carboxylates as N-Heterocyclic Carbene Precursors for the Synthesis of Second Generation Ruthenium Metathesis CatalystsADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 11-12 2009Xavier Sauvage Abstract Five well-known ruthenium-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysts for olefin metathesis and related reactions, including the second generation Grubbs and Hoveyda,Grubbs catalysts, were prepared by phosphane exchange between first generation ruthenium-benzylidene or indenylidene complexes and NHCs generated in situ upon thermolysis of imidazol(in)ium-2-carboxylates. Because N-heterocyclic carbene carbon dioxide adducts (NHC,CO2) are stable zwitterionic compounds that can be stored and handled with no particular precautions, this procedure is particularly attractive from a practical point of view. Reaction courses were conveniently monitored by 31P,NMR spectroscopy and the experimental conditions were carefully adjusted to obtain high yields of pure products within short periods of time. [source] Strong Evidence for an Unprecedented Borderline Case of Dissociation and Cycloaddition in Open-Shell 1,3-Dipole Chemistry: Transient Nitrilium Phosphane-Ylide Complex Radical CationsEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 22 2009Holger Helten Abstract The reaction of 3-ferrocenyl-substituted 2H -azaphosphirene complexes 1a,c in the presence of substoichiometric amounts of ferrocenium hexafluorophosphate yields 3,5-diferrocenyl-substituted 2H -1,4,2-diazaphosphole complexes 3a,c and difluoro(organo)phosphane complexes 4a,c. The reaction of 1a,c and [FcH]PF6 with cyanoferrocene yields 3a,c in a straightforward way. The molecular structures of 3a,c were unambiguously identified by multinuclear NMR spectroscopic experiments, mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. DFT calculations on model complexes 1d,m and 3d,m reveal a close similarity of Mo and W complexes (vs. Cr) and a strong influence of the ferrocenyl substituent on the geometry, spin, and charge distribution of reactive intermediates and the reaction course. Strong support for the assumption of a dissociation,cycloaddition reaction sequence leading to 3 and thus a surprising "cannibalistic" reaction was obtained.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Importantly, the employed reaction route allows the stereospecific synthesis of this complex as trans -[Mo(N2)2(meso -prP4)] (prP4 = a tetraphos ligand with a central propylene bridge). The stereoselectivity in the reaction course is induced by the oxido-iodido-molybdenum(IV) precursor [Mo(O)I(prP4)]+ which directs both phenyl groups of the bridging P atoms of prP4 into a meso configuration. The paper establishes a general strategy to synthesize mononuclear Mo0 dinitrogen and related molybdenum complexes with multidentate phosphane ligands which has not been possible to date. Moreover, the obtained molybdenum tetraphos N2 complex should exhibit a higher thermodynamic stability in the reactions of the Chatt cycle of synthetic nitrogen fixation than the conventional bis(diphos) complexes, due to the linkage of the two diphosphane units by an alkyl bridge.

KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008) [source] Calorimetric study of milk fat/rapeseed oil blends and their interesterification productsEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF LIPID SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, Issue 4 2009Mario Aguedo Abstract Milk fat (MF) and rapeseed oil (RO) blends were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was shown that peak and onset temperatures can be used to determine the percentage of each fat in the blend and that the relative enthalpy of one peak assigned to low-melting triacylglycerols (TAG) can also be used to determine the percentage of RO in the blend. A linear relation was also established between MF content of the blend and its dropping point (DP), indicating that DP can be linearly related with the above DSC data. A blend of MF/RO 70,:,30 (wt/wt) was then chosen as a model system for enzymatic interesterification (EIE). The applicability of DSC analyses to EIE products was checked and a correct correlation could be established between DSC values and the interesterification degree and DP. Among the data from the DSC profiles, the peak associated with low-melting TAG was the best indicator of the reaction course. In the same way, a high-melting MF stearin fraction was interesterified with RO. In that case, onset temperatures and peak "a" were better reaction indicators than for the interesterified MF/RO blend. We therefore suggest that values from DSC endotherms could be used to monitor EIE of fat blends. [source] Interactions of the "piano-stool" [ruthenium(II) (,6 -arene)(en)CL]+ complexes with water and nucleobases; ab initio and DFT studyJOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY, Issue 12 2009k Futera Abstract Piano stool ruthenium complexes of the composition [Ru(II)(,6 -arene)(en)Cl]+/2+ (en = ethylenediamine) represent an emerging class of cisplatin-analogue anticancer drug candidates. In this study, we use computational quantum chemistry to characterize the structure, stability and reactivity of these compounds. All these structures were optimized at DFT(B3LYP)/6-31G(d) level and their single point properties were determined by the MP2/6-31++G(2df,2pd) method. Thermodynamic parameters and rate constants were determined for the aquation process, as a replacement of the initial chloro ligand by water and subsequent exchange reaction of aqua ligand by nucleobases. The computations were carried out at several levels of DFT and ab initio theories (B3LYP, MP2 and CCSD) utilizing a range of bases sets (from 6-31G(d) to aug-cc-pVQZ). Excellent agreement with experimental results for aquation process was obtained at the CCSD level and reasonable match was achieved also with the B3LYP/6-31++G(2df,2pd) method. This level was used also for nucleobase-water exchange reaction where a smaller rate constant for guanine exchange was found in comparison with adenine. Although adenine follows a simple replacement mechanism, guanine complex passes by a two-step mechanism. At first, Ru-O6(G) adduct is formed, which is transformed through a chelate TS2 to the Ru-N7(G) final complex. In case of guanine, the exchange reaction is more favorable thermodynamically (releasing in total by about 8 kcal/mol) but according to our results, the rate constant for guanine substitution is slightly smaller than the analogous constant in adenine case when reaction course from local minimum is considered. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2009 [source] Synthesis of 3-,-amino-2-thiohydantoinsJOURNAL OF HETEROCYCLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 4 2003Józef Ryczek In the reaction of ethyl isothiocyanatoacetate with diamines, followed by cyclization of the intermediate product, 3-monosubstituted thiohydantoins have been obtained. It was found that the reaction course depends on the purity of the isothiocyanate used and also, in the case of dialkylaminoamines, the self-cyclization occurs. Besides the dialkylamino derivatives of 3-monosubstituted 2-thiohydantoins also new monoalkylamino, amino and heterocyclic derivatives were synthesized. The aryldiazonium derivative of 3-monosubstituted 2-thiohydantoin yielded both respective phenol derivative after hydrolysis and the product of coupling with 2-naphthol. [source] Addition, elimination, exchange, and epimerization in nitro sulfonesJOURNAL OF PHYSICAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 3 2007Charles A. Kingsbury Abstract Three reactions were studied in the diastereomers of 1-(benzenesulfonyl)-2-nitro-1-phenylpropane (1A and 1B) and briefly in related compounds: elimination of the benzenesulfonyl group, epimerization of one diastereomer to the other, and deuterium/hydrogen exchange at the methine group next to nitro in starting material. The two diastereomers showed quite different reactivity. The high melting diasteromer showed rapid elimination and some exchange. The low melting diastereomer (at approximately a half-life) showed extensive epimerization, and elimination to the alkene, but little exchange. There is little effect of aromatic substituents on reaction course. The situation is complicated by re-addition of benzenesulfinate to the alkene. The addition reaction was similar to elimination in agreement with the Principle of Microscopic Reversibility expectations. An electron transfer mechanism for addition is calculated to be comparatively favorable. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Structural transformations in organic crystals during photochemical reactionsJOURNAL OF PHYSICAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 10 2004Ilona Turowska-Tyrk Abstract In the 1980s and 1990s, x-ray studies of the photochemical reaction course in crystals dealt with the analysis of changes in cell constants or movements of atom groups inside molecules. This review presents the results of crystallographic studies on the monitoring of the behaviour of whole molecules in organic crystals during photochemical reactions. Papers on this subject started to appear only a few years ago. The studies showed quantitatively that reactant and product molecules do not take a fixed position in a crystal during the reaction. The product molecules move smoothly to a position assumed in the pure product crystal and the reactant molecules move from a position occupied in the pure reactant crystal. Moreover, with the reaction progress the adjacent reactant molecules gradually come closer and change their mutual orientation to resemble the product. The analysis of the photoreaction kinetics in crystals is also presented. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Matrix Representation of Polymer Chain Size Distributions, 2,MACROMOLECULAR THEORY AND SIMULATIONS, Issue 2 2007Fundamental Analysis of Linear Polymerization Mechanisms at Transient Conditions Abstract Analysis of the mass balance equations that describe a reaction system may be useful to provide information about its dynamics, such as the restricted set of compositions that can be achieved from a given set of initial compositions and the effect of feeding reactants to the reaction environment along the reaction course. Since these results may be important for the formulation of reaction policies, this work presents the properties of a matrix polymerization model previously developed and extended to describe transient conditions. This model is based on the definitions of two matrices: the consumption matrix (A,,,Kt), which contains information about chemical transformations among the many active polymer species in the system, and the propagation matrix Kp, which contains information about chain growth. It is shown that the set of mass balance equations that describes the dynamics of active chemical species in polymerization reactions has a stable and unique solution, which is bounded if feed rates are also bounded. It is also shown that the set of compositions that may be reached through manipulation of the feed rates is restricted and may not include all possible chemical compositions. Finally, it is shown that the obtained molecular weight distributions are special multiple time convolutions of the initiation rates. [source] Radiation and postirradiation crosslinking and structure of two unsaturated polyester resinsPOLYMER ENGINEERING & SCIENCE, Issue 9 2008Irina Puci Radiation and postirradiation crosslinking of two unsaturated polyester (UP) resins were monitored, and substantial differences in the reaction course and extents were observed. DSC thermograms of one of the resins showed double peaks and significantly lower residual reaction heats. Extraction revealed that gelation dose of the resin with double peak was twice the gelation dose of the other resin that had single peak in DSC thermograms. Although other components of the polyesters were identical, NMR spectra of the resin with a single peak revealed isophthalic units while in the polyester of the resin having double DSC peaks orthophthalic units were detected. Orthophthalate reduced the compatibility of polyester and styrene and caused the reaction-induced phase separation, influencing gel structure that was visible in scanning electron microscope micrographs. Previously, the double peaks in crosslinking thermograms of UP resins were usually attributed to initiator effects, but here no initiator was used, and, in the literature, we found that the double peaks are almost exclusively present in the thermograms of UP resins containing orthophthalates, whereas in resins with isophthalates double peaks almost never appear. Crosslinking extents were significantly higher in the resin-containing isophthalate and in both cases enhanced by postirradiation reaction that is often neglected. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 2008. © 2008 Society of Plastics Engineers [source] Experimental Investigation and Modeling Approach of the Phenylacetonitrile Alkylation Process in a MicroreactorCHEMICAL ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY (CET), Issue 6 2009E. S. Borovinskaya Abstract The application of microreaction technology has the potential to intensify chemical processes. It is therefore of great interest to investigate the operating efficiency of a multiphase process such as the alkylation of phenylacetonitrile in a microreactor and to compare the performance to a batch reactor. The undeniable advantages of continuous microreactor systems for this process were demonstrated. Furthermore, the influence of the organic to aqueous phase ratio in the microreactor was investigated. A model of the reaction course was formulated based on experimental data. This model was used in the analysis and modeling of the alkylation process in a microreactor and found to be adequate. The optimal microreactor performance conditions were determined using the numerical optimization technique (Harrington's desirability function) and confirmed by experiments. [source] Synthesis of (,)-Cubebol by Face-Selective Platinum-, Gold-, or Copper-Catalyzed Cycloisomerization: Evidence of Chirality Transfer and Mechanistic InsightsCHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 38 2009Charles Fehr Dr. Abstract We describe in detail a direct, stereoselective synthesis of (,)-cubebol based on a Pt-, Au-, or Cu-catalyzed cycloisomerization in which control of the configuration of the propargylic center is essential for the facial selectivity. In addition, we show that cycloisomerization reactions of enantioenriched propargyl pivalates occur with substantial chirality transfer. We confirm a mechanism by means of cyclization followed by an [1,2]-acyl migration for the Pt- and the Au-catalyzed cycloisomerization. So far, no evidence supports that the Cu-catalyzed cycloisomerization follows the same reaction course. [source] Mechanistic model for prediction of formate dehydrogenase kinetics under industrially relevant conditionsBIOTECHNOLOGY PROGRESS, Issue 1 2010T. Schmidt Abstract Formate dehydrogenase (FDH) from Candida boidinii is an important biocatalyst for the regeneration of the cofactor NADH in industrial enzyme-catalyzed reductions. The mathematical model that is currently applied to predict progress curves during (semi-)batch reactions has been derived from initial rate studies. Here, it is demonstrated that such extrapolation from initial reaction rates to performance during a complete batch leads to considerable prediction errors. This observation can be attributed to an invalid simplification during the development of the literature model. A novel mechanistic model that describes the course and performance of FDH-catalyzed NADH regeneration under industrially relevant process conditions is introduced and evaluated. Based on progress curve instead of initial reaction rate measurements, it was discriminated from a comprehensive set of mechanistic model candidates. For the prediction of reaction courses on long time horizons (>1 h), decomposition of NADH has to be considered. The model accurately describes the regeneration reaction under all conditions, even at high concentrations of the substrate formate and thus is clearly superior to the existing model. As a result, for the first time, course and performance of NADH regeneration in industrial enzyme-catalyzed reductions can be accurately predicted and used to optimize the cost efficiency of the respective processes. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol. Prog., 2010 [source] Mechanistic Study of the Reaction of Thiol-Containing Enzymes with ,,,-Unsaturated Carbonyl Substrates by Computation and ChemoassaysCHEMMEDCHEM, Issue 6 2010Alexander Paasche Abstract We investigated the reactions between substituted ,,,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds (Michael systems) and thiols by computations as well as chemoassays. The results give insight into variations in the underlying mechanisms as a function of the substitution pattern. This is of interest for the mechanisms of inhibition of the SARS coronavirus main protease (SARS-CoV Mpro) by etacrynic acid derivatives as well as for the excess toxicity of substituted ,,,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. This study compares possible reaction courses including 1,4-addition followed by a ketonization step, and underscores the importance of a base-catalyzed step for the reactivity of thiol groups in enzymes. Phenyl and methyl substituents at the Michael system decrease the reactivity of the electrophilic compound, but chlorophenyl substituents partly recover the reactivity. Computations also indicate that electron-pushing substituents lead to a change in the reaction mechanism. The conformation of the Michael system is also found to significantly influence reactivity: the s - cis conformation leads to higher reactivity than the s - trans conformation. The computed data explain the trends in measured inhibition potencies of substituted ,,,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and of reaction rates in chemical assays. They also indicate that the reversibility of inhibition does not stand in contrast to the formation of a new covalent bond between inhibitor and protease. [source] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
