Gas-phase reaction of n-butyl acetate with the hydroxyl radical under simulated tropospheric conditions: Relative rate constant and product study
Veillerot,Foster,Guillermo,Galloo
, p. 235 - 243 (1996)
The gas-phase reaction of n-butyl acetate with hydroxyl radicals has been studied in an environmental smog chamber at 298 K. atmospheric pressure, and simulated tropospheric concentrations The rate constant for this reaction has been determined by a relative method and the experimental result, relative to n-octane used as reference compound, is k = 5.2 ± 0.5 × 10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 This value appears to be about 25% higher than absolute rate constants found in the literature, but agrees very well with the other relative determination. Two reaction products have been identified and their production yield has been estimated, each accounting for about (15 ± 5)% of the overall OH reaction processes The two observed products are 2-oxobutyl acetate (CH3-CO-O-CH2-CO-CH2-CH3) and 3-oxobutyl acetate (CH3-CO-O-CH2-CH2-CO-CH3) The accuracy of the relative rate constant obtained is examined considering the evolution of the reactivity of the alkoxy end of the esters. Formation mechanisms for the two observed products are proposed and the likely other degradation channels are discussed
Decomposition du percarbonate de O,O-t-butyle et O-isopropenyle en solution: acetonylation des esters, acides et nitriles

The free-radical decomposition of O,O-t-butyl and O-isopropenyl peroxycarbonate in substrates possessing mobile H-atoms (S-H) consists mainly in an induced chain process leading to acetonylated derivatives of the solvent.Fairly good yields are obtained but the acetonylation of functional substrates often gives mixtures of isomers.In the case of methyl acetate, the acetonylation occurs on the C-atoms adjacent to the carbonyl (acyloxy moiety) and to the O-atom (alkoxy moiety).However, the relative amounts of the isomeric products depend on the concentration of the peroxycarbonate solutions; at lowest concentration, methyl 4-oxopentanoate (acyloxy moiety) is obtained selectively.It is assumed that the free radicals issued from the solvent are able to abstract H-atoms of other molecules of solvent before adding to the double bond of the peroxycarbonate; the more the peroxycarbonate solution is diluted the more the transfers from the C-atom adjacent to the carbonyl to the radicals adjacent to the O-atom are favoured.In the case of methyl alkanoates, H-transfers from the α-C-atoms to β-radicals of the acyloxy moiety may account for the orientation of the process.Owing to similar H-transfer processes, the acetonylation of functional esters, of acids and nitriles is selective in most cases.

supporting information; experimental part, p. 4308 - 4311 (2011/10/08)
An in situ generated hypervalent iodine species, bis(tert-butylperoxy) iodobenzene, was used as a peroxy radical source for the oxidation of unreactive, remote, and isolated alkyl (cyclic or aliphatic) esters and amides to the corresponding keto compounds under very mild conditions.
Self-assembled bidentate ligands for ru-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov hydration of terminal alkynes
Chevallier, Floris,Breit, Bernhard
, p. 1599 - 1602 (2008/02/02)
(Figure Presented) In pairs: Bidentate ligands are generated by the self-assembly of monodentate ligands through complementary hydrogen bonding. A ruthenium complex bearing such self-assembled heterodimeric ligands is used as the catalyst in the regioselective hydration of terminal alkynes. FG = functional group, Piv = pivaloyl.
