- Lewis Acidic Boranes, Lewis Bases, and Equilibrium Constants: A Reliable Scaffold for a Quantitative Lewis Acidity/Basicity Scale
-
A quantitative Lewis acidity/basicity scale toward boron-centered Lewis acids has been developed based on a set of 90 experimental equilibrium constants for the reactions of triarylboranes with various O-, N-, S-, and P-centered Lewis bases in dichloromethane at 20 °C. Analysis with the linear free energy relationship log KB=LAB+LBB allows equilibrium constants, KB, to be calculated for any type of borane/Lewis base combination through the sum of two descriptors, one for Lewis acidity (LAB) and one for Lewis basicity (LBB). The resulting Lewis acidity/basicity scale is independent of fixed reference acids/bases and valid for various types of trivalent boron-centered Lewis acids. It is demonstrated that the newly developed Lewis acidity/basicity scale is easily extendable through linear relationships with quantum-chemically calculated or common physical–organic descriptors and known thermodynamic data (ΔH (Formula presented.)). Furthermore, this experimental platform can be utilized for the rational development of borane-catalyzed reactions.

- A scalable continuous photochemical process for the generation of aminopropylsulfones
-
An efficient continuous photochemical process is presented that delivers a series of novel γ-aminopropylsulfones via a tetrabutylammonium decatungstate (TBADT) catalysed HAT-process. Crucial to this success is the exploitation of a new high-power LED emitting at 365 nm that was found to be superior to an alternative medium-pressure Hg lamp. The resulting flow process enabled the scale-up of this transformation reaching throughputs of 20 mmol h-1 at substrate concentrations up to 500 mM. Additionally, the substrate scope of this transformation was evaluated demonstrating the straightforward incorporation of different amine substituents as well as alkyl appendages next to the sulfone moiety. It is anticipated that this methodology will allow for further exploitations of these underrepresented γ-aminopropylsulfone scaffolds in the future. This journal is

-
Herein, we report the synthesis of acetamides from CO2, methanol, H2 and corresponding amines, which is a new route used to synthesize acetamides. It was found that the Rh catalyst with LiI/LiCl as promoters could effectively catalyze this reaction. Interestingly, no ligand was required and amine substrates played a role in accelerating the reaction.

- Formation of carbon–nitrogen bonds in carbon monoxide electrolysis
-
The electroreduction of CO2 is a promising technology for carbon utilization. Although electrolysis of CO2 or CO2-derived CO can generate important industrial multicarbon feedstocks such as ethylene, ethanol, n-propanol and acetate, most efforts have been devoted to promoting C–C bond formation. Here, we demonstrate that C–N bonds can be formed through co-electrolysis of CO and NH3 with acetamide selectivity of nearly 40% at industrially relevant reaction rates. Full-solvent quantum mechanical calculations show that acetamide forms through nucleophilic addition of NH3 to a surface-bound ketene intermediate, a step that is in competition with OH– addition, which leads to acetate. The C–N formation mechanism was successfully extended to a series of amide products through amine nucleophilic attack on the ketene intermediate. This strategy enables us to form carbon–heteroatom bonds through the electroreduction of CO, expanding the scope of products available from CO2 reduction.

- Ozone and ozone/vacuum-UV degradation of diethyl dithiocarbamate collector: Kinetics, mineralization, byproducts and pathways
-
The diethyl dithiocarbamate (DDC) collector, a precursor of toxic N-nitrosamines, is detected in flotation wastewaters usually at the ppm level. In this study, the O3 and O3/Vacuum-UV (O3/VUV) processes were compared to investigate the efficient removal of DDC with a low risk of N-nitrosamine formation. The results showed that 99.55% of DDC was removed at 20 min by O3/VUV, and the degradation rate constant was 3.99 times higher than that using O3-alone. The C, S and N mineralization extents of DDC using O3/VUV reached 36.36%, 62.69% and 79.76% at 90 min, respectively. O3/VUV achieved a much higher mineralization extent of DDC than O3-alone. After 90 min of degradation, O3/VUV achieved lower residual concentrations of CS2 and H2S, and released lower amounts of gaseous sulfur byproducts compared to O3-alone. The solid phase extraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPE/GC-MS) analysis indicated that the main byproducts in O3/VUV degradation of DDC were amide compounds without the detection of N-nitrosamines. The avoidance of N-nitrosamine formation might be attributed to exposure of UV irradiation and enhanced formation of OH radicals in the O3/VUV system. The degradation pathways of DDC were proposed. This work indicated that O3/VUV was an efficient alternative treatment technique for the removal of DDC flotation collector with low risk of N-nitrosamine formation.

- Direct Observation of Acyl Nitroso Compounds in Aqueous Solution and the Kinetics of Their Reactions with Amines, Thiols, and Hydroxamic Acids
-
Acyl nitroso compounds or nitrosocarhonyls (RC(O)N=O) are reactive short-lived electrophiles, and their hydrolysis and reactions with nucleophiles produce HNO. Previously, direct detection of acyl nitroso species in nonaqueous media has been provided by time-resolved infrared spectroscopy demonstrating that its half-life is about 1 ms. In the present study hydroxamic acids (RC(O)NHOH) are oxidized electrochemically in buffered aqueous solutions (pH 5.9-10.2) yielding transient species characterized by their maximal absorption at 314-330 nm. These transient species decompose via a first-order reaction yielding mainly HNO and the respective carboxylic acid and therefore are ascribed to RC(O)N=O. The sufficiently long half-life of RC(O)N=O in aqueous solution allows for the first time the study of the kinetics of its reactions with various nucleophiles demonstrating that the nucleophilic reactivity follows the order thiolate > hydroxamate > amine. Metal chelates of CH3C(O)NHOH catalyze the hydrolysis of CH3C(O)N=O at the efficacy order of CuII > ZnII > NiII > CoII where only CuII catalyzes the hydrolysis also in the absence of the hydroxamate. Finally, oxidation of hydroxamic acids generates HNO, and the rate of this process is determined by the half-life of the respective acyl nitroso compound.

This provides an efficient approach for synthesis of O-benzoylglycolamides. The protocol displayed good functional group tolerance. A broad range of benzoic acids directly coupled with alkylamides to afford a variety of O-benzoylglycolamides in moderate to good yields.

-
A method for preparing methallyl alcohol and amide simultaneously is characterized in that methylallyl carboxylate taken as a raw material and an amine compound taken as an ammonolysis agent react under the action of a catalyst to produce methallyl alcohol and an amide compound. The methylallyl carboxylate and the amine compound taken as the ammonolysis agent are firstly adopted, and the methallyl alcohol and the amide compound are obtained under the action of the catalyst. The reaction process is a bulk reaction, no solvents are added, almost no wastewater or salt are produced, and byproduct methyl allyl ether is not produced; the defect that a large number of wastewater is produced through hydrolysis is overcome due to adoption of ammonolysis, the methallyl alcohol and the amide compound are coproduced directly by use of ammonoysis, coupling production is realized, and the cost is reduced.

- Oxidative coupling of alcohols and amines over bimetallic unsupported nanoporous gold: Tailored activity through mechanistic predictability
-
An unsupported nanoporous gold catalyst is employed for the direct coupling of primary alcohols and amines to the corresponding amides in the liquid phase. Among others, the reaction of methanol and dimethylamine to the industrially relevant dimethylformamide proceeds smoothly at 40°C (turnover frequency≈40 h-1). The activation of molecular oxygen is identified as a key parameter. Doping of the unsupported catalyst by an admetal (Ru, Ag) is used to increase the activity of the catalyst considerably for this reaction (turnover frequency ≈ 100 h-1).

- Carbonylation of quaternary ammonium salts to tertiary amides using NaCo(CO)4 catalyst
-
We reported here the catalytic carbonylation of quaternary ammonium salts under anhydrous condition. Quaternary ammonium salts, a kind of versatile reagents that were widely used in organometallic chemistry, can be carbonylated to tertiary amides by an in situ prepared NaCo(CO)4 catalyst. It was found that the counterions (Cl-, Br-, I-, OTf-) in the quaternary ammonium salts played a significant role in the reaction and tetramethylammonium iodide could give high yield (96%) of N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) with only 0.5 mol% cobalt catalyst. Under optimum conditions, several other quaternary ammonium iodides were also carbonylated to corresponding tertiary amides in moderate to excellent yields. Obviously, these results also give us a special apprehension that Me4NI and other quaternary ammonium salts could be possibly carbonylated to tertiary amides in the carbonylation reaction where they are used as promoters or solvents in most cases. Considering the high activity and moderate to excellent selectivity, this process could be a potential method for the synthesis of certain tertiary amides. Moreover, the cleaving mechanism of CN bonds and the possible catalytic intermediates were discussed in detail.

- Palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of quaternary ammonium halides to tertiary amides
-
Catalytic carbonylation of quaternary ammonium salts under anhydrous conditions was investigated using palladium catalyst. The carbonylation of tetramethylammonium iodide was chosen as a model reaction and studied systematically. Ligand-free PdCl2 showed efficient catalytic performance for this transformation. A palladium catalyst loading as low as 0.05 mol% was sufficient for high yield (96.9%) of N,N-dimethylacetamide, corresponding to a turnover frequency of 242 h-1. Under optimum conditions, several other quaternary ammonium halides were also carbonylated to corresponding tertiary amides in moderate to excellent yields. The catalytic activity of commercial palladium on activated carbon (Pd/C) catalyst was also evaluated. The Pd/C catalyst exhibited high activity for this carbonylation reaction and could be recycled six times with a slight decrease in activity. Furthermore, mechanistic considerations concerning Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of quaternary ammonium halides were also discussed. Copyright

- Palladium-catalyzed unstrained C(sp3) - N bond activation: The synthesis of N,N-dimethylacetamide by carbonylation of trimethylamine
-
This work describes a highly efficient unstrained C(sp3) - N bond activation approach for synthesis of N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) via catalytic carbonylation of trimethylamine using a PdCl2/bipy (bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine)/Me4NI catalyst system. A low Pd catalyst dosage (1.0 mol%) is sufficient for high selectivity (98.1%) and yield (90.8%), with a turnover number (TON) of 90.0 mmol of DMAc obtained per mmol of PdCl 2 employed under mild reaction conditions. The influence of reaction parameters such as catalyst precursor dosage, ligand type and promoter on activity is investigated. This work also discusses in detail the halide promoter's role in the reaction, and provides a plausible mechanism based on the intermediates methyl iodide and acetyl iodide. Analyses indicate that the carbonylation of trimethylamine may proceed through an active intermediate acetyl iodide formed by carbonylation of methyl iodide generated from the decomposition of the promoter Me4NI under reaction conditions. The formation of acetyl iodide favors the cleaving efficiency of the inert unstrained C(sp3) - N bond of trimethylamine. Copyright

- Bromination of enamines from tertiary amides using the petasis reagent: A convenient one-pot regioselective route to bromomethyl ketones
-
An original one-pot synthesis of bromomethyl ketones is achived using the Petasis reagent (dimethyltitanocene) as a key for enamine generation. Several amides were used to test the limits of the procedure by changing either the alkyl chain R or the amino portion of the starting materials. The enamines generated in situ were allowed to react with bromine at low temperature followed by hydrolysis to yield bromomethyl ketones in excellent yields (85 to 95%). Mechanistic details and optimum conditions for the reaction are briefly discussed. The present approach offers several advantages such as regioselectivity in enamine formation, good yields, mild reaction conditions, and ease of experimentation.

- Dual-function of alcohols in gold-mediated selective coupling of amines and alcohols
-
Oxidative coupling of alcohols (methanol and ethanol) and dimethylamine on atomic-oxygen-activated Au(111) occurs entirely on the surface to form the corresponding amides when the alkoxy of the alcohol and the amide derived from the amine are co-adsorbed. For effective oxygen-assisted coupling the formation of the amide requires excess methanol. Mechanistic studies reveal that molecularly adsorbed methanol removes excess adsorbed atomic oxygen efficiently, precluding either secondary oxidation or oxidative dehydrogenation of dimethylamide to the imine. The adsorbed amide then can react with the aldehyde produced by β-hydride elimination from the alkoxy to form the hemiaminal, the reactive intermediate leading to coupling. The selectivity for formamide production can be increased to nearly 100 % in excess methanol. Copyright

- Hydrogen bonding between solutes in solvents octan-1-ol and water
-
The 1:1 equilibrium constants, K, for the association of hydrogen bond bases and hydrogen bond acids have been determined by using octan-1-ol solvent at 298 K for 30 acid-base combinations. The values of K are much smaller than those found for aprotic, rather nonpolar solvents. It is shown that the log K values can satisfactorily be correlated against αH 2?βH2, where αH 2 and βH2 are the 1:1 hydrogen bond acidities and basicities of solutes. The slope of the plot, 2.938, is much smaller than those for log K values in the nonpolar organic solvents previously studied. An analysis of literature data on 1:1 hydrogen bonding in water yields a negative slope for a plot of log K against αH 2?βH2, thus showing how the use of very strong hydrogen bond acids and bases does not lead to larger values of log K for 1:1 hydrogen bonding in water. It is suggested that for simple 1:1 association between monofunctional solutes in water, log K cannot be larger than about -0.1 log units. Descriptors have been obtained for the complex between 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol and propanone, and used to analyze solvent effects on the two reactants, the complex, and the complexation constant.

The values of kB = 4.8 × 10-8 M-1 s-1 for deprotonation of acetamide by quinuclidine (pKBH = 11.5) and kBH = 2-5 × 109 M-1 s-1 for the encounter-limited reverse protonation of the enolate by protonated quinuclidine give pKac = 28.4 for ionization of acetamide as a carbon acid. The limiting value of kHOH = 1 × 1011 s-1 for protonation of the enolate of acetate anion by solvent water and kHO = 3.5 × 10-9 M-1 s-1 for deprotonation of acetate anion by HO- give pKac ≈ 33.5 for acetate anion. The change in the rate-limiting step from chemical proton transfer to solvent reorganization results in a downward break in the slope of the plot of log kHO against carbon acid pKa for deprotonation of a wide range of neutral α-carbonyl carbon acids by hydroxide ion, from -0.40 to -1.0. Good estimates are reported for the stabilization of the carbonyl group relative to the enol tautomer by electron donation from α-SEt, α-OMe, α-NH2, and (αO- substituents. The α-NH2 and α-OMe groups show similar stabilizing interactions with the carbonyl group, while the interaction of α-O- is only 3.4 kcal/mol more stabilizing than for α-OH. We propose that destabilization of the enolate intermediates of enzymatic reactions results in an increasing recruitment of metal ions by the enzyme to provide electrophilic catalysis of enolate formation.

- Molecular engineering. 8.1 Kinetic and conformational studies of resorcin[4]arene-based C4 tetraoxatetrathiahemicarceplexes: Carceroisomerism and twistomerism
-
New C4v tetraoxatetrathiahemicarcerands and their six hemicarceplexes containing DMF, DMA, DMSO, or NMP were synthesized and characterized. Their conformations, kinetic properties, carceroisomerism, and twistomerism were studied by VT, 2D COSY, NOESY, and ROESY 1H NMR experiments. The decomplexation rates of DMF or DMA were very slow with high activation energy barriers (73 and 104 kJ mol-1, respectively) and the complexed guests feel more constriction than their free liquid state. The largest isomerization energy barrier of carceroisomers was 15.4 kcal mol-1, and the isomerization energy barriers of twistomers are significantly larger than those of carceroisomers.

- Semi-volatile and particulate emissions from the combustion of alternative diesel fuels
-
Motor vehicle emissions are a major anthropogenic source of air pollution and contribute to the deterioration of urban air quality. In this paper, we report results of a laboratory investigation of particle formation from four different alternative diesel fuels, namely, compressed natural gas (CNG), dimethyl ether (DME), biodiesel, and diesel, under fuelrich conditions in the temperature range of 800-1200°C at pressures of approximately 24 atm. A single pulse shock tube was used to simulate compression ignition (CI) combustion conditions. Gaseous fuels (CNG and DME) were exposed premixed in air while liquid fuels (diesel and biodiesel) were injected using a high-pressure liquid injector. The results of surface analysis using a scanning electron microscope showed that the particles formed from combustion of all four of the above-mentioned fuels had a mean diameter less than 0.1 μm. From results of gravimetric analysis and fuel injection size it was found that under the test conditions described above the relative particulate yields from CNG, DME, biodiesel, and diesel were 0.30%, 0.026%, 0.52%, and 0.51%, respectively. Chemical analysis of particles showed that DME combustion particles had the highest soluble organic fraction (SOF) at 71%, followed by biodiesel (66%), CNG (38%) and diesel (20%). This illustrates that in case of both gaseous and liquid fuels, oxygenated fuels have a higher SOF than non-oxygenated fuels.

- Orthoamides. LIV. Contributions to the chemistry of azavinylogous orthoformic acid amide derivatives
-
The azavinylogous aminalester 3 reacts with primary amines to give amidines 5 and 6. In the reaction of 3 with aniline the azavinylogous amidine 7 is produced additionally to the amidine 5c. Ethylendiamine is formylated at both aminogroups, the bis-amidine 8 thus formed is transformed to the salts 9a,b. Benzoxazole and benzimidazole can be prepared from 3 and o-aminophenol and o-phenylenediamine, resp. Carboxylic acid amides, urea, thiourea, aromatic acid hydrazides 17 and the sulfonylhydrazide 19 are formylated by 3 at nitrogen to give N-acylated formamidines 14, 16, 18, 20. From 3 and aliphatic acid hydrazides 17 and alkylhydrazines, resp., can be obtained 1,2,4-triazole 21 and 1-alkyl-1,2,4-triazoles 22a,b, resp. N.N-Dimethylcyanacetamide (32) reacts with 3 and the orthoamide 4a, resp., to give a mixture of the formylated compound 34 and the amidine 33. The reaction conditions are of low influence on the ratio in which 33 and 34 are formed. The orthoamide 4b and 32 react to afford a mixture of the amidine 35 and the enamine 36. Hydrogen-sulfide acts on 3 giving N,N-dimethylthioformamide (37). From 3 and 1-alkynes 41 can be prepared the amidines 42. Hydrolysis of 42b affords phenylpropiolaldehyde (43). The alkylation of the aminalester 3 gives rise to the formation of vinylogous amidinium salts 1c and 1d, resp., additionally is formed the amide acetal 2a. The salt 1d can also be prepared from 3 and borontrifluoride-ether. Iodide reacts with N,N-dimethylformamide acetals 12a,b in an unclear, complicated manner giving orthoesters 53, N,N-dimethylformamide, alkyliodides, alcohols, ammonium iodides 46 and carbondioxide. The action of halogens on 3 affords the salts 1a,b,c,e,f depending on the chosen stoichiometric ratio. Aromatic aldehydes are suited for trapping azavinylogous carbenes formed on thermolysis of 3; 1,3-oxazoles 69 are the reaction products. From 3 and propionaldehyde the amidine 65 can be obtained with low yield. Carbondisulfide transforms 3 to the azavinylogous salt 66. The preparation of the azavinylogous orthoamide 4a is described. The thermolysis of 3 and 4a, resp., gives rise to the formation of the triaminopyrimidine 67. Treatment of 1a with lithium diisopropylamide affords the triaminopyrazine 68, which can also be obtained by thermolysis of 3 in the presence of sodium hydride. Azavinylogous carbenes are thought to be the intermediates. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2000.

- Molecular engineering. Part 5.1 Tuning the constrictive binding of container host by the atomic order of portal pillars
-
Two D4h container hosts 12 and 13 with 4(CH2-O-bridge-O-CH2) portal pillars were obtained in good yields by stepwise synthetic routes and showed complementary complexation behaviors to their analogues with (O-CH2-bridge-CH2-O)4 portal pillars. 1H NMR spectral chemical shifts of host's inward-turned OCH2O protons were sensitive to guest change. The stability orders of hemicarceplexes were 12-p-(CH3CH2)2C6H4 > 12-p-(CH3O)2C6-H4 ? 12-o-(CH3O)2C6H4 > 12-m-(CH3O)2C6H4 and 13-CH3COCH2CH3 > 13-CH3COCH2CH(CH3)2 > 13-CH3-CON(CH3)2 > 13-CH3COOCH2CH3 > 13-CH3CH2CON(CH3)2 in terms of the activation energy barrier for decomplexation. Large solvent effects on the activation energy for decomplexation of hemicarceplexes were observed.

- Reaction enthalpies for M+L = M+ + L, where M+ = Na+ and K+ and L = acetamide, N-methylacetamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, glycine, and glycylglycine, from determinations of the collision-induced dissociation thresholds
-
With electrospray (ES), ions present in solution can be transferred to the gas phase. The method provides unique opportunities for studies of hitherto inaccessible ions. Collision-induced dissociation threshold measurements of gas phase ions produced by ES are described. The thresholds for the reactions M+L = M+ + L, where M+ is Na+ or K+ and L is acetone, dimethyl sulfoxide, acetamide, N-methylacetamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, glycine, glycinamide, succinamide, and glycylglycine, were determined. Enthalpy changes for the reaction were derived from these data.

P-phenyl C-aminophosphaalkenes 1 react with p-chlorobenzonitrile oxides at -20°C leading to 1,2,4-oxazaphospholines 2, which are characterized by NMR and decompose slowly at room temperature. An experimental and theoretical study of their thermal evolution shows that the most probable mechanism involves the formation of an azaphospholine such as 10 which is unstable generating a phenyl phosphinidene. The latter polymerize quickly.

- A highly adaptive and strongly binding hemicarcerand
-
Two new hemicarcerands (1 and 2) are reported, the former of which was induced to form 30 capsular complexes stable enough at 25 °C in CDCl3 to be isolated and characterized. The compounds are globe-shaped and composed by attaching two tetraaryl bowls to one another at their rims through four O(CH2)4O groups. To impart desired solubility properties to the final host, four C6H5CH2CH2 groups are attached to each bowl at their bases in 1, and four CH3(CH2)4 groups to each in 2. The shell closure, 2 Ar(OH)4 + 4 TsO(CH2)4OTs → Ar[O(CH2)4O]4Ar, conducted in (CH3)2NCOCH3-Cs2CO3 at 70 °C, gave 1·(CH3)2NCOCH3 (30-40%), and the same type of reaction in (CH3)2SO-Cs2CO3 gave 2·(CH3)2SO (15-20%), a molecule of solvent being incarcerated in each case. Empty 1 was obtained by heating 1·(CH3)2NCOCH3 in (C6H5)2O (molecules too large to be incarcerated) at 195 °C for 5 days (94%). Neat CH2Cl2 went in and out of the interior of 1 fast enough at 25 °C to be useful as solvent in chromatography of 1 and its complexes. By heating empty 1 at 70-170 °C for several hours up to 6 days in solutions of potential guests as solvent, or with 100 equiv of guest in (C6H5)2O as solvent, 30 hemicarceplexes were formed, isolated, purified, and characterized. In the crystal structure of 1·6H2O·4o-(CH3)2C6H4, the northern and southern hemispheres were twisted relative to one another around their polar axis by ~13°. The crystal structures of 1·p- l2C6H4·2C6H5NO2, 1·p-(CH3)2C6H4·2NO2C6H5, 1·O2NC6H5·2C6H5NO2, 1·o-BrC6H4OH·2C6H5NO2, and 1·(CH3)2NCOCH3·2C6H5NO2 were untwisted and belonged to the same space group. The lengths along the polar axes decreased in the order listed through conformational changes in the O(CH2)4O bridges. The E(a) for decomplexation of 1·(CH3)2NCOCH3 in C6D5NO2 at 140-170 °C (four temperatures) was 23.5 kcal mol-1. The rotations relative to their shells of large incarcerated guests, such as 2,4-Cl2C6H3CH3, 3,4-Cl2C6H3CH3, and 4- CH3C6H4OCH3, were slow enough on the 1H NMR time scale at 25 °C to produce different chemical shifts for the same host protons located in the northern and southern hemispheres of the complex. The smallest guest incorporated in 1 was Xe, but 1·Xe as a solid gave up its guest over days at ambient temperature.
