- Nitrite ionic liquids (IL-ONO and [bmim]NO2) as effective nitrosonium sources for the synthesis of α-oximinoketones under mild heterogeneous conditions
-
Ketones and β-diketones were nitrosated and converted to their corresponding α-oximinoketones using task-specific ionic liquids, 1-(4-nitritobutyl)-3-methylimidazolium chloride, IL-ONO, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrite at room temperature. The results from two ionic liquids are comparable and showed that these IL's are effective nitrosonium sources for the preparation of oximinoketones. The protocol is rapid, the yields are excellent, and the method is simple. Copyright

- Electrophilic Substitution in Malonamide. Evidence for Reaction via the Enol Tautomer
-
The kinetics of the nitrosation, bromination and iodination of malonamide have been studied in water at 25 deg C.Throughout, reaction was first order in .At low acidity and relatively high , reactions were fully zero-order in and acid-catalysed.At higher acidity and lower reaction was first-order in and not now acid-catalysed.Similar first-order behaviour was found for bromination and nitrosation (by BrNO and ONSCN generated in situ).It was not possible by changing the reaction conditions to achieve the zero-order pattern with either bromination or nitrosation.The results are consistent with a mechanism involving reaction of the electrophile with an intermediate derived from MA which we suggest is the enol tautomer.For iodination either enolisation or reaction of the enol can be made rate-limiting.For enolisation the value of the rate constant ke (in Rate = ke+>) was found to be 3.3 * 10-3 dm3 mol-1 s-1.The results also suggest that I2, Br2, BrNO and ONSCN react with the enol at or close to the encounter controlled limit, enabling a value for KE (the equilibrium constant for enolisation) of (4 +/- 2) * 1010 to be obtained.The methylene protons in MA are readily exchanged with D from the solvent in an acid catalysed process.The enolisation of CD2(COND2)2 is slower than that of CH2(CONH2)2 by a factor of 2.3 and the deuterium solvent isotope effect is close to 1.The mechanism of enolisation of MA is discussed.
