Chlorination of (Phebox)Ir(mesityl)(OAc) by thionyl chloride

Pincer (Phebox)Ir(mesityl)(OAc) (2) (Phebox = 3,5-dimethylphenyl-2,6-bis(oxazolinyl)) complex, formed by benzylic C-H activation of mesitylene (1,3,5-trimethylbenzene) using (Phebox)Ir(OAc)2OH2 (1), was treated with thionyl chloride

Mechanism of solvolysis of substituted benzyl chlorides in aqueous ethanol

The mechanism of solvolyses of activated ortho-, meta- and para-substituted benzyl chlorides in aqueous ethanol has been studied by using the Hammett-Brown and Yukawa-Tsuno treatments as well as by correlating logarithms of solvolysis rate constants with relative stabilities of corresponding benzyl carbocations in water calculated at the IEFPCM-M06–2X/6-311+G(3df,3pd) level of theory. Benzyl chlorides containing strong conjugative electron-donors in the para-position solvolyze by the SN1 mechanism, whereas other activated benzyl chlorides solvolyze by the SN2 mechanism via loose transition states.

Improved Halogenation of Methyl Aromatics and Methyl Heteroaromatics: Unexpected Reactivity of Tetrahalogeno-diphenylglycolurils

1,3,4,6-Tetrachloro (TCDGU) and 1,3,4,6-tetrabromo-3α,6α-diphenylglycolurils smooth halogen oxidizers have been exploited in a new direction as reagents for free radical substitution toward some N-halosuccinimide nonreactive bis-heterocycles. An unexpected selectivity and reactivity were observed with methyl benzenes, methyl heterocycles, and methyl-bis-heterocycles of interest. A chemometric study has been performed to optimize five independent factors of the chlorination reaction with TCDGU. The predictive model was established either for the halogenation conversion and the ratio of monochlorination.
