Abstraction Reactions (abstraction + reaction)
Kinds of Abstraction Reactions Selected AbstractsAb Initio Group Contribution Method for Activation Energies of Hydrogen Abstraction ReactionsCHEMPHYSCHEM, Issue 1 2006Mark Saeys Prof. Abstract The group contribution method for activation energies is applied to hydrogen abstraction reactions. To this end an ab initio database was constructed, which consisted of activation energies calculated with the ab initio CBS-QB3 method for a limited set of well-chosen homologous reactions. CBS-QB3 is shown to predict reaction rate coefficients within a factor of 2,4 and Arrhenius activation energies within 3,5 kJ,mol,1of experimental data. Activation energies in the set of homologous reactions vary over 156 kJ,mol,1with the structure of the abstracting radical and over 94 kJ,mol,1with the structure of the abstracted hydrocarbon. The parameters required for the group contribution method, the so-called standard activation group additivity values, were determined from this database. To test the accuracy of the group contribution method, a large set of 88 additional activation energies were calculated from first principles and compared with the predictions from the group contribution method. It was found that the group contribution method yields accurate activation energies for hydrogen-transfer reactions between hydrogen molecules, alkylic hydrocarbons, and vinylic hydrocarbons, with the largest deviations being less than 6 kJ,mol,1. For reactions between allylic and propargylic hydrocarbons, the transition state is believed to be stabilized by resonance effects, thus requiring the introduction of an appropriate correction term to obtain a reliable prediction of the activation energy for this subclass of hydrogen abstraction reactions. [source] Direct dynamic study on the hydrogen abstraction reaction of H2CO with NCOINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL KINETICS, Issue 6 2009Hao Sun A direct ab initio dynamics method is used to investigate the hydrogen-abstraction reaction of H2CO with NCO. The potential energy surface information is obtained at the MP2/6-311G(d,p) level. More accurate single-point energy is refined at the G3(MP2)//MP2/6-311G(d,p) level. Furthermore, the rate constants of reaction H2CO + NCO are evaluated by using the canonical variational transition state theory with small-curvature tunneling contributions over a wide temperature range of 200,2000 K. The calculated reaction enthalpy and rate constants are in good agreement with the available experimental values. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A suite of nonlinear optimization methods is outlined for semiempirical parameter development based on integrated evolutionary (genetic) and direction set minimization algorithms. The PM3/d-SRP Fe parameters are derived along three consecutive steps. The final parameterization step includes the effect of the whole enzyme in order to get a better quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical description. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The structures of the different stationary points are discussed. Ring-like structures are found for all the transition states. Reaction profiles are modeled including the formation of prereactive complexes, and very low or negative net energy barriers are obtained depending on the method and on the reacting site. ZPE and thermal corrections to the energy for all the species, and BSSE corrections for B3LYP activation energies are included. A complex mechanism involving the formation of a prereactive complex is proposed, and the rate coefficients for the overall reactions are calculated using classical transition state theory. The predicted values of the rate coefficients are 3.54×108 L,mol,1,s,1 for glycine and 1.38×109 L,mol,1,s,1 for alanine. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Reaction of 2-(2,6-diisopropylanilino)tropone or 2-(perfluoroanilino)tropone with AlMe3 (1 equiv.) gave, by methane elimination, compounds [2-(2,6-diisopropylanilino)tropone]AlMe2 (1) and [2-(perfluoroanilino)tropone]AlMe2 (2), respectively, as yellow solids. Reaction of 1 with 1 equiv. of the ligand furnished, by protodealumination of a second Al,CH3 bond, the [2-(2,6-diisopropylanilino)tropone]2AlMe derivative 3. The structure of 3 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, showing a five-coordinate aluminium atom with a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. Compounds 1 and 3 underwent methyl abstraction reactions with B(C6F5)3; the resulting cationic species was trapped in the presence of THF in dichloromethane solution. The reactivity of the synthesized compounds in ethylene polymerisation has also been explored. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Yahyaoui The oxidation of several binary mixtures 1-hexene/toluene has been investigated both in a shock tube and in a jet-stirred reactor (JSR). The self-ignition behavior of binary mixtures was compared to that of neat hydrocarbons studied under the same conditions. Furthermore, molecular species concentration profiles were measured by probe-sampling and GC/MS, FID, TCD analyses for the oxidation of the mixtures in a JSR. Experiments were carried out over the temperature range 750,1860 K. Mixtures were examined under two pressures 0.2 and 1 MPa, with 0.1% initial concentration of fuel. The equivalence ratio was varied from 0.5 to 1.5. The experiments were modeled using a detailed chemical kinetic reaction mechanism. The modeling study showed that interactions between hydrocarbons submechanisms were not limited to small reactive radicals. Other types of interactions involving hydrocarbon fragments derived from the oxidation of the fuel components must be considered. These interactions mainly consist of hydrogen abstraction reactions. For example, benzyl radical that is the major radical produced from the oxidation of toluene at high temperature can abstract hydrogen from 1-hexene and their products such as hexenyl radicals. Similarly, propyl, allyl, and hexenyl radicals that are the major radicals produced during 1-hexene oxidation at high temperature can abstract hydrogen from toluene. Improved modeling was achieved when such interaction reactions were included in the model. Good agreement between experimental and calculated data was obtained using the proposed detailed chemical kinetic scheme. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The following results were obtained: k(Cl + n-butane) = (1.91 ± 0.10) × 10,10 cm3 molecule,1 s,1, k(Cl + n -pentane) = (2.46 ± 0.12) × 10,10 cm3 molecule,1 s,1, k(Cl + iso-pentane) = (1.94 ± 0.10) × 10,10 cm3 molecule,1 s,1, k(Cl + neopentane) = (1.01 ± 0.05) × 10,10 cm3 molecule,1 s,1, k(Cl + n -hexane) = (3.44 ± 0.17) × 10,10 cm3 molecule,1 s,1 where the error limits are ±1,. These values have been used in conjunction with our own previous measurements on Cl + ethane and literature values on Cl + propane and Cl + iso-butane to generate a structure activity relationship (SAR) for Cl atom abstraction reactions based on direct measurements. The resulting best fit parameters are kp = (2.61 ± 0.12) × 10,11 cm3 molecule,1 s,1, ks = (8.40 ± 0.60) × 10,11 cm3 molecule,1 s,1, kt = (5.90 ± 0.30) × 10,11 cm3 molecule,1 s,1, with f( CH2) = f ( CH2) = f (C) = f = 0.85 ± 0.06. Tests were carried out to investigate the potential interference from production of excited state HCl(v = 1) in the Cl + alkane reactions. There is some evidence for HCl(v = 1) production in the reaction of Cl with shape n -hexane. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

In accord with the findings in the previously reported theoretical investigations, two types of the hydrogen-bonding complexes [HOHOH] and [H2OHO] were located on the potential energy surface. The water molecule acts as a hydrogen donor in the [HOHOH] complex, while the OH radical acts as a hydrogen donor in the [H2OHO] complex. The energy evaluations at the MP2(FC) basis set limit, as well as those through the CBS-APNO procedure, have provided estimates for enthalpies of association for these complexes at 298 K as ,2.1 , ,2.3 and ,4.1 , ,4.3 kcal/mol, respectively. The IRC calculations have suggested that the [H2OHO] complex should be located along the reaction coordinate for the hydrogen abstraction. Our best estimate for the classical barrier height for the hydrogen abstraction is 7.8 kcal/mol, which was obtained from the CBS-APNO energy evaluations. After fitting the CBS-APNO potential energy curve to a symmetrical Eckart function, the rate constants were calculated by using the transition state theory including the tunneling correction. Our estimates for the Arrhenius parameters in the temperature region from 300 to 420 K show quite reasonable agreement with the experimentally derived values. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Reactions of the heteronuclear oxide cations with methane in a fast-flow reactor were studied with a time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer to detect the cluster distribution before and after the reactions. Hydrogen abstraction reactions were identified over stoichiometric cluster cations [(V2O5)n(SiO2)m]+ (n=1, m=1,4; n=2, m=1), and the estimated first-order rate constants for the reactions were close to that of the homonuclear oxide cluster V4O10+ with methane. Density functional calculations were performed to study the structural, bonding, electronic, and reactivity properties of these stoichiometric oxide clusters. Terminal-oxygen-centered radicals (Ot.) were found in all of the stable isomers. These Ot. radicals are active sites of the clusters in reaction with CH4. The Ot. radicals in [V2O5(SiO2)1,4]+ clusters are bonded with Si rather than V atoms. All the hydrogen abstraction reactions are favorable both thermodynamically and kinetically. This work reveals the unique properties of metal/nonmetal heteronuclear oxide clusters, and may provide new insights into CH4 activation on silica-supported vanadium oxide catalysts.
