Transition structures, energetics, and secondary kinetic isotope effects for cope rearrangements of cis-1,2-divinylcyclobutane and cis-1,2-divinylcyclopropane: A DFT study

2003-12-12
The minimum energy reaction paths and secondary kinetic isotope effects (KIE) for the Cope rearrangements of cis- 1,2-divinylcyclobutane and cis- 1,2-divinyleyclopropane obtained by (U)B3LYP calculations are reported. Both reactions proceed through endo-boatlike reaction paths, and have aromatic transition states. The predicted activation energies are in agreement with the experimental data. The reaction paths of the rearrangements are intervened by enantiomerization saddle points of the products (and the reactant in the case of divinylcyclobutane). The calculated KIES are similar in the two systems, and consistent with the geometries of the transition structures. There is computational evidence that the isotope effect associated with the conversion of a pure sp(2) C-H bond into a pure sp(3) one might be the same in all molecules. The predicted KIES agree with experiment for divinylcyclopropane, but not for divinylcyclobutane.

Transition structures, energetics, and nucleus-independent chemical shifts for divinylcyclobutene-to-cyclooctatriene rearrangement: A DFT study
Zora, Metin (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2004-02-06)
The minimum energy reaction paths and nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) for the Cope rearrangement of cis-3,4-divinylcyclobutene, obtained by (U)B3LYP/6-31G* calculations, are reported. Three transition structures (endo-boatlike, chairlike, and exo-boatlike) have been located, giving rise to formation of cis,cis,cis-, cis,cis,trans-, and trans,cis, trans- 1, 3,5-cyclooctatrienes, respectively. The minimum energy path proceeds through an endo-boatlike, aromatic transition structure. The reaction pat...
Deuterium kinetic isotope effects in the gas-phase S N2 reactions of solvated fluoride ions with methyl halides
Kato, Shuji; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Davico, Gustavo E.; DePuy, Charles H.; Bierbaum, Veronica M. (2004-11-11)
Rate constants and deuterium kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) are measured for gas-phase nucleophilic substitution (S(N)2) reactions of solvated fluoride ions of F-(methanol) + CH3X (X = Br, I), F-(isopropyl alcohol) + CH3I, and F-(hydrogen fluoride) + CH3I at 300 K. The isotope effects are determined as the rate constant ratio k(H)/k(D) for specifically deuterated reactants, that is, methanol (CH3OH, CD3OH, CH3OD, and CD3OD), isopropyl alcohol (i-C3H7OH and i-C3H7OD), hydrogen fluoride (HF and DF), and methy...

An enzyme system of Rhizopus oryzae (ATCC 9363) catalyzes the inversion of the chirality of benzoin via a deracemization reaction and, depending on the pH of the medium, both enantiomers of benzoin are obtained in good yield and high ee starting from rac-benzoin.
Atom transfer rearrangement radical polymerization of (2,4,6-trihalophenolato) Fe(II)/Ce(III)/Ce(IV) complexes in solid state
Celik, Gueler Bayrakli; Sultan, Wadie; Kisakuerek, Duygu (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2006-11-21)
The synthesis of poly(dihalophenylene oxide)s by thermal decomposition of Fe(II), Ce(III) and Ce(IV) phenolato complexes with pyridine as neutral ligands were achieved at different temperature ranges (140 degrees - 250 degrees C) with different time intervals (3 - 48 hr) via atom transfer rearrangement radical polymerization (ATRRP). The complexes were characterized by FTIR, DSC, UV-Visible, mass spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility and elemental analyses. Structural analyses of polymers were performed by ...
Reaction kinetics of calcium chloride - ammonia reactive system and theoretical simulation of heat and mass transfer in porous slab pellets
Karakaş Helvacı, Zeynep; Uludağ, Yusuf; Karakaş, Gürkan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2023-1-24)
The reactive systems between ammoniated CaCl2 and NH3 were investigated in terms of heat and mass transport phenomena coupled with reaction kinetics. The reversible reaction rate based on the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model was suggested to express the net reaction rate, including both the adsorption and desorption terms. Experiments at three temperatures were conducted to evaluate the kinetic parameters, pre-exponential factors, and activation energies. The parameters were evaluated by Non-Linear Regression (NL...
