Experimental and Theoretical Mechanistic Study on the Thermal Decomposition of 3,3-diphenyl-4-(trichloromethyl)-5-nitropyrazoline.

ABSTRACT: The present paper is a continuation of comprehensive study regarding to synthesis and properties of pyrazoles and their derivatives. In its framework an experimental and theoretical studies of thermal decomposition of the 3,3-diphenyl-4-(trichloromethyl)-5-nitropyrazoline were performed. It was found, that the decompositions of the mentioned pyrazoline system in the solution and at the melted state proceed via completely different molecular mechanisms. These mechanisms have been explained in the framework of the Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) with the computational level of B3LYP/6-31G(d). A Bonding Evolution Theory (BET) examination of dehydrochlorination of the 3,3-diphenyl-4-(trichloromethyl)-5-nitropyrazoline permits elucidation of the molecular mechanism. It was found, that on the contrary for most known HCl extrusion processes in solution, this reaction is realised via single-step mechanism.

Experimental and modeling study of the thermal decomposition of methyl decanoate.

Project description:The experimental study of the thermal decomposition of methyl decanoate was performed in a jet-stirred reactor at temperatures ranging from 773 to 1123 K, at residence times between 1 and 4 s, at a pressure of 800 Torr (106.6 kPa) and at high dilution in helium (fuel inlet mole fraction of 0.0218). Species leaving the reactor were analyzed by gas chromatography. Main reaction products were hydrogen, carbon oxides, small hydrocarbons from C1 to C3, large 1-olefins from 1-butene to 1-nonene, and unsaturated esters with one double bond at the end of the alkyl chain from methyl-2-propenoate to methyl-8-nonenoate. At the highest temperatures, the formation of polyunsaturated species was observed: 1,3-butadiene, 1,3-cyclopentadiene, benzene, toluene, indene, and naphthalene. These results were compared with previous ones about the pyrolysis of n-dodecane, an n-alkane of similar size. The reactivity of both molecules was found to be very close. The alkane produces more olefins while the ester yields unsaturated oxygenated compounds. A detailed kinetic model for the thermal decomposition of methyl decanoate has been generated using the version of software EXGAS which was updated to take into account the specific chemistry involved in the oxidation of methyl esters. This model contains 324 species and 3231 reactions. It provided a very good prediction of the experimental data obtained in jet-stirred reactor. The formation of the major products was analyzed. The kinetic analysis showed that the retro-ene reactions of intermediate unsaturated methyl esters are of importance in low reactivity systems.

Nitrosonium-catalyzed decomposition of s-nitrosothiols in solution: a theoretical and experimental study.

Project description:The decomposition of S-nitrosothiols (RSNO) in solution under oxidative conditions is significantly faster than can be accounted for by homolysis of the S-N bond. Here we propose a cationic chain mechanism in which nitrosation of nitrosothiol produces a nitrosated cation that, in turn, reacts with a second nitrosothiol to produce nitrosated disulfide and the NO dimer. The nitrosated disulfide acts as a source of nitrosonium for nitrosothiol nitrosation, completing the catalytic cycle. The mechanism accounts for several unexplained facets of nitrosothiol chemistry in solution, including the observation that the decomposition of an RSNO is accelerated by O(2), mixtures of O(2) and NO, and other oxidants, that decomposition is inhibited by thiols and other antioxidants, that decomposition is dependent on sulfur substitution, and that decomposition often shows nonintegral kinetic orders.

The Curtius rearrangement of cyclopropyl and cyclopropenoyl azides. A combined theoretical and experimental mechanistic study.

Project description:A combined experimental and theoretical study addresses the concertedness of the thermal Curtius rearrangement. The kinetics of the Curtius rearrangements of methyl 1-azidocarbonyl cycloprop-2-ene-1-carboxylate and methyl 1-azidocarbonyl cyclopropane-1-carboxylate were studied by (1)H NMR spectroscopy, and there is close agreement between calculated and experimental enthalpies and entropies of activation. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations (B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)) on these same acyl azides suggest gas phase barriers of 27.8 and 25.1 kcal/mol. By comparison, gas phase activation barriers for the rearrangement of acetyl, pivaloyl, and phenyl azides are 27.6, 27.4, and 30.0 kcal/mol, respectively. The barrier for the concerted Curtius reaction of acetyl azide at the CCSD(T)/6-311+G(d,p) level exhibited a comparable activation energy of 26.3 kcal/mol. Intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) analyses suggest that all of the rearrangements occur by a concerted pathway with the concomitant loss of N2. The lower activation energy for the rearrangement of methyl 1-azidocarbonyl cycloprop-2-ene-1-carboxylate relative to methyl 1-azidocarbonyl cyclopropane-1-carboxylate was attributed to a weaker bond between the carbonyl carbon and the three-membered ring in the former compound. Calculations on the rearrangement of cycloprop-2-ene-1-oyl azides do not support pi-stabilization of the transition state by the cyclopropene double bond. A comparison of reaction pathways at the CBS-QB3 level for the Curtius rearrangement versus the loss of N2 to form a nitrene intermediate provides strong evidence that the concerted Curtius rearrangement is the dominant process.

Electron Transfer Induced Decomposition in Potassium-Nitroimidazoles Collisions: An Experimental and Theoretical Work.

Project description:Electron transfer induced decomposition mechanism of nitroimidazole and a selection of analogue molecules in collisions with neutral potassium (K) atoms from 10 to 1000 eV have been thoroughly investigated. In this laboratory collision regime, the formation of negative ions was time-of-flight mass analyzed and the fragmentation patterns and branching ratios have been obtained. The most abundant anions have been assigned to the parent molecule and the nitrogen oxide anion (NO2-) and the electron transfer mechanisms are comprehensively discussed. This work focuses on the analysis of all fragment anions produced and it is complementary of our recent work on selective hydrogen loss from the transient negative ions produced in these collisions. Ab initio theoretical calculations were performed for 4-nitroimidazole (4NI), 2-nitroimidazole (2NI), 1-methyl-4- (Me4NI) and 1-methyl-5-nitroimidazole (Me5NI), and imidazole (IMI) in the presence of a potassium atom and provided a strong basis for the assignment of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals accessed in the collision process.

Mechanistic insights into cobalt(ii/iii)-catalyzed C-H oxidation: a combined theoretical and experimental study.

Project description:Cobalt-mediated C-H functionalization has been the subject of extensive interest in synthetic chemistry, but the mechanisms of many of these reactions (such as the cobalt-catalyzed C-H oxidation) are poorly understood. In this paper, possible mechanisms including single electron transfer (SET) and the concerted metalation-deprotonation (CMD) pathways of the CoII/CoIII-catalyzed alkoxylation of C(sp2)-H bonds have been investigated for the first time using the DFT method. CoII(OAc)2 has been employed as an efficient catalyst in our previous experimental study, but the calculated results unexpectedly indicated that the intermolecular SET pathway with CoIII as the actual catalyst might be the most favorable pathway. To support this theoretical prediction, we have explored a series of Cp*CoIII(CO)I2 catalyzed C(sp2)-H bond alkoxylations, extending the application of cobalt-catalyzed functionalization of C-H bonds. Furthermore, kinetic isotope effect (KIE) data, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) data, and TEMPO inhibition experiments also support the SET mechanism in both the Co-catalyzed alkoxylation reactions. Thus, this work should support an understanding of the possible mechanisms of the CoII/CoIII-catalyzed C(sp2)-H functionalization, and also provide an example of the rational design of novel catalytic reactions guided by theoretical calculations.

Thermal Degradation and Bimolecular Decomposition of 2-Ethoxyethanol in Binary Ethanol and Isobutanol Solvent Mixtures: A Computational Mechanistic Study.

Project description:A thorough computational study of a thermal degradation mechanism of 2-ethoxyethanol (2-EE) in the gas phase has been implemented using G3MP2 and G3B3 methods. The stationary point geometries were optimized at the B3LYP functional utilizing the 6-31G(d) basis set. Intrinsic reaction coordinate analysis was performed to determine the transition states on the potential energy surfaces. Nineteen primary different reaction mechanisms, along with the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters, are demonstrated. Most of the thermal degradation mechanisms result in a concerted transition state step as an endothermic process. Among 11 degradation pathways of 2-ethoxyethanol, the formation of ethylene glycol and ethylene is kinetically significant with an activation energy of 269 kJ mol-1 at the G3B3 method. However, the kinetic and thermodynamic calculations indicate that ethanol and ethanal's formation is the most plausible reaction with an activation barrier of 287 kJ mol-1 at the G3B3 method. For the bimolecular dissociation reaction of 2-ethoxyethanol with ethanol, the pathway that produces ether, H2, and ethanol is more likely to occur with a lower activation energy of 221 kJ mol-1 at the G3B3 method. Thus, 2-EE has experienced a set of complex unimolecular and bimolecular reactions.

Dynamic kinetic resolution of allylic sulfoxides by Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation: a combined theoretical and experimental mechanistic study.

Project description:A dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of allylic sulfoxides has been demonstrated by combining the Mislow [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement with catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation. The efficiency of our DKR was optimized by using low pressures of hydrogen gas to decrease the rate of hydrogenation relative to the rate of sigmatropic rearrangement. Kinetic studies reveal that the rhodium complex acts as a dual-role catalyst and accelerates the substrate racemization while catalyzing olefin hydrogenation. Scrambling experiments and theoretical modeling support a novel mode of sulfoxide racemization which occurs via a rhodium ?-allyl intermediate in polar solvents. In nonpolar solvents, however, the substrate racemization is primarily uncatalyzed. Computational studies suggest that the sulfoxide binds to rhodium via O-coordination throughout the catalytic cycle for hydrogenation.

A theoretical study on reductive debromination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers.

Project description:Recent progress has been made in the reductive debromination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) by nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI). To better understand the mechanism of this reaction, seven selected BDE congeners and their anions were investigated at the density functional theory (DFT) level using four different methods, including B3LYP/6-31G(d), B3LYP/6-31+G(d), B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-311G(d,p). The cleaved C-Br bonds observed in the equilibrium structures of anionic PBDEs were adopted as the probe of the susceptible debromination position of PBDEs in the presence of nZVI, and the proposed major reaction pathways based on our calculations can satisfactorily conform to the reported experimental results. The debromination preference is theoretically evaluated as meta-Br > ortho-Br > para-Br. In addition, both the calculated frontier orbital energies and adiabatic electronic affinities were found to be highly related to their experimental reductive debromination rate constants. The highest linear regression coefficient was observed in the case using the energy of lowest unoccupied molecular orbital as the molecular descriptor obtained from B3LYP/6-31G(d) (R(2) = 0.961, n = 7) or B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) (R(2) = 0.961, n = 7). The results clearly showed the evidence of an electron transfer mechanism associated with this reductive debromination reaction.

7-Iodo-3,3-diphenyl-octa-hydro-benzo-furan.

Project description:The title compound, C20H21IO, was synthesized by cyclo-haloetherification of 2-(cyclo-hex-2-en-yl)-2,2-diphenyl-ethanol in CH2Cl2, and crystallized with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The six-membered cyclo-hexane ring adopts a chair conformation, while the five-membered ring adopts an envelope conformation with the fused C atom opposite the O atom as the flap in each case [displacements of the flap atoms = 0.6813 (3) and 0.6679 (3) Å]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via pairs of C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming inversion dimers.
