The hydrolysis of C12 primary alkyl sulfates in concentrated aqueous solutions. Part 2. Influence of alkyl structure on hydrolytic reactivity in concentrated aqueous mixtures of sodium primary alkyl sulfates: 1-benzoyl-3-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole as a probe of water activity

The kinetics of the hydrolysis of aqueous solutions of three sodium C12-alkyl sulfates (SXS), sodium 2-methyl- undecyl sulfate (SMS), sodium cycloundecylmethyl sulfate (SCS) and sodium 2-pentylheptyl sulfate (SPS), has been investigated at concentrations up to 70% and compared with the behaviour of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The same kinetic form as previously described for SDS was observed, namely, autocatalysis by protons generated via hydrogen sulfate ion, but there were substantial variations in the reactivity as the alkyl structure changed; β-branching reduced the reactivity, particularly for SMS which was the least reactive of the surfactants studied. The patterns of reactivity by the uncatalysed and hydrogen-ion catalysed pathways for the different SXS were rather similar, but it is argued that the results are consistent with an SN2 mechanism for uncatalysed hydrolysis and the concerted SO3 cleavage (or transfer to a pre-associated water molecule)/proton transfer mechanism for the catalytic route, as previously proposed for SDS. Changes in the microenvironment of the sulfate group in aggregates formed from the different SXS are seen as being responsible for much of the rate variation. Attempts have been made to establish the dependence of observed rate constants in dilute solutions of SXS above the c.m.c. on the water activity as indicated empirically by the rate of pH-independent hydrolysis of 1-benzoyl-3-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole (BPT) in the same solutions. It appears, however, that BPT hydrolysis is not a useful guide to water activity in SXS solutions and values of d(ln k)/d(ln [H2O]) are generally much larger than expected on the basis of simple ideas of transition state composition. The effects of surfactant aggregation on the microenvironment in which chemical reactions take place are suggested to be the dominant kinetic influence both on SXS and BPT hydrolysis.
Identification and Synthesis of Branched Wax-type Esters, Novel Surface Lipids from the Spider Argyrodes?elevatus (Araneae: Theridiidae)

The analysis of cuticular extracts from the kleptoparasitic spider Argyrodes?elevatus revealed the presence of unusual esters, new for arthropods. These novel compounds proved to be methyl-branched long-chain fatty acid esters with methyl branches located either close or remote from the internally located ester group. The GC/MS analysis of the prosoma lipid blend from the male cuticle contained one major component, undecyl 2-methyltridecanoate (1). In contrast, four major wax-type esters, 2-methylundecyl 2,8-dimethylundecanoate (2), 2,8-dimethylundecyl 2,8-dimethylundecanoate (3), heptadecyl 4-methylheptanoate (4), and 14-methylheptadecyl 4-methylheptanoate (5), were identified in the lipid blend of female prosomata. Structure assignments were based on mass spectra, gas chromatographic retention indices, and microderivatization. Unambiguous proof of postulated structures was ensured by an independent synthesis of all five esters. Preferentially, odd-numbered carbon chains pointed to a distinct biosynthetic pathway, different from that of common fatty acids, because one or two C3 starter units are incorporated during the biosynthesis of all acid and alcohol building blocks present in the five esters. The striking sexual dimorphism together with the unique biosynthesis points to a function of the esters in chemical communication of the spiders, although no behavioral data are currently available to test this assumption.
An Intramolecular Iodine-Catalyzed C(sp3)?H Oxidation as a Versatile Tool for the Synthesis of Tetrahydrofurans
Br?se, Stefan,Koch, Vanessa
supporting information, p. 3478 - 3483 (2021/07/22)
The formation of ubiquitous occurring tetrahydrofuran patterns has been extensively investigated in the 1960s as it was one of the first examples of a non-directed remote C?H activation. These approaches suffer from the use of toxic transition metals in overstoichiometric amounts. An attractive metal-free solution for transforming carbon-hydrogen bonds into carbon-oxygen bonds lies in applying economically and ecologically favorable iodine reagents. The presented method involves an intertwined catalytic cycle of a radical chain reaction and an iodine(I/III) redox couple by selectively activating a remote C(sp3)?H bond under visible-light irradiation. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions, is operationally simple and tolerates many functional groups giving fast and easy access to different substituted tetrahydrofurans.

The hydrogenation of (E)-2-(trifluoromethyl)alk-2-en-1-ols catalyzed by Ru-BINAP and Rh-BINAP has been carried out with good enantiomeric excess (71percent-83percent ee).Ru-BINAP-catalyzed hydrogenation converted 2-trifluoromethylacrylic acid to the corresponding saturated acid, the esterification and reduction of which gave optically active 2-(trifluoromethyl)propan-1-ol in 80percent ee.
