Ester Cleavage in Superacid Media Involving Diprotonated Gitonic Carboxonium Dications

The reactivity of protonated and methylated methyl ester in superacidic media was investigated by experiment and theory.Protonated methyl acetate was found to undergo slow acyl oxygen cleavage at -78 deg C in FSO3H/SbF5/SO2 solution to give acetyl cation and methyloxonium ion. 1,1-Dimethoxyethyl cation (methylated methyl acetate) was found to undergo slow methyl exchange in CD3SO3F/SbF5 solution.The reaction of 1,1-dimethoxyethyl cation with toluene in the presence of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid at -78 deg C gave acylation in 4percent yield.Theoretical calculations at the MP4(SDTQ)/6-31G*//MP2/6-31G* level of theory were performed to find stationary points on the potential energy surface of the mono- and diactivated ester system.Based on the available evidence a new mechanism for the acid-catalyzed ester cleavage in superacidic media is proposed.

A Photoelectron Spectroscopic Study of the Ground States of CH2F+ and CD2F+

The fluorine atom/methyl fluoride reaction has been studied by photoelectron spectroscopy.A new product band with vibrational components at 9.04 +/- 0.01 eV adiabatic and 9.22 +/- 0.01 eV vertical ionization energies is assigned to the CH2F free radical.The ν'= 0-1 vibronic separation measured as 1450 +/- 30 cm-1 is due to the C-F stretching fundamental of the ground state of CH2F+; this vibronic interval was 1530 +/- 30 cm-1 for CD2F+.The positive deuterium shift for CH2F+ is due to interaction with the H-C-H bending mode, which shifts below the C-F stretching mode on deuteration.The substantial increase in the C-F stretching modes for CH2F+ and CD2F+, as compared to 1163- and 1193-cm-1 values for the CH2F and CD2F free radicals in solid argon, respectively, is due to increased net C-F bonding in the cations.
