The photochemical addition of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol to methoxy-substituted stilbenes

The excited-state lifetime of the trans-stilbene chromophore in acetonitrile is prolonged by methoxy substituents in the meta positions. The long-lived singlet excited state of trans-3,5-dimethoxystilbene (trans-2d) is quenched upon the addition of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE), and the Markovnikov ether is observed as the major product from steady-state irradiations. The results indicate that the reaction pathway proceeds through a carbocation intermediate.

Iodine-catalyzed transformation of aryl-substituted alcohols under solvent-free and highly concentrated reaction conditions

Iodine-catalyzed transformations of alcohols under solvent-free reaction conditions (SFRC) and under highly concentrated reaction conditions (HCRC) in the presence of various solvents were studied in order to gain insight into the behavior of the reaction intermediates under these conditions. Dimerization, dehydration and substitution were the three types of transformations observed with benzylic alcohols. Dimerization and substitution reactions were predominant in the case of primary- and secondary alcohols, whereas dehydration prevailed in the case of tertiary alcohols. The relative reactivity of substituted 1-phenylethanols in I2-catalyzed dimerization under SFRC provided a good Hammett plot ρ+ = -2.8 (r2 = 0.98), suggesting the presence of electron-deficient intermediates with a certain degree of developed charge in the rate-determining step.

Photochemical Addition of Methanol to Stilbenes

The photochemical addition of methanol to the alkenic bond of stilbene (1) involves two competitive pathways: viz. either direct addition of methanol to the alkenic bond or insertion by methanol of a carbene (13), emerging from a 1,2-H shift in (1).From the observed effect of substituents and the wavelength on the rates of these processes, the rearrangement pathway was concluded to involve excited (1) in a vibrationally unrelaxed S1-state.The direct pathway might involve either a planar (??*) or a twisted excited S1-state of (1).The available experimental evidence precludes zwitterionic excited states from being involved in both pathways.The photochemical addition of methanol to the alkenic bond of 1,1-diphenylethene (3) follows a similar course.In this case a 1,2-Ph shift in excited (3) gives rise to carbene (13) and its insertion products.
