Acetate reactions substrate properties

Vinyl neodecanoate [26544-09-2] is prepared by the reaction of neodecanoic acid and acetjiene in the presence of a catalyst such as zinc neodecanoate. Physical properties of the commercially available material, VeoVa 10 from Shell, are given in Table 4. The material is a mobile Hquid with a typical mild ester odor used in a number of areas, primarily in coatings, but also in constmction, adhesives, cosmetics, and a number of misceUaneous areas. Copolymerization of vinyl neodecanoate with vinyl acetate gives coating materials with exceUent performance on alkaline substrates and in exterior weathering conditions. 

To select the metal to be incorporated into the substrate porphyrin unit, the following basic properties of metalloporphyrins should be considered. The stability constant of MgPor is too small to achieve the usual oligomeric reactions and purification by silica gel chromatography. The starting material (Ru3(CO)i2) for Ru (CO)Por is expensive and the yield of the corresponding metalation reaction is low. Furthermore, the removal of rutheniirm is difficult, and it is likewise difficult to remove the template from the obtained ruthenium CPOs. Therefore, ZnPor is frequently used as a substrate in this template reaction, because of the low prices of zinc sources (zinc acetate and/or zinc chloride), the high yield in the metalation reaction, the sufficient chemical stability of the ZnPor under con-... 

The concept of zeolite action was tested in a particular reaction where the enzyme is exposed from the beginning to an acidic environment the esterification of geraniol with acetic acid catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase B immobilized on zeolite NaA [219]. Lipases have been used for the hydrolysis of triglycerides and due to their ambivalent hydrophobic/hydrophilic properties they are effective biocatalysts for the hydrolysis of hydrophobic substrates [220]. When water-soluble lipases are used in organic media they have to be immobilized on solid supports in order to exhibit significant catalytic activity. 

Before turning to specific results we will have a look at the properties of rhodium(II) acetates/carboxamidates as catalysts for reactions with diazocompounds as the substrates via carbenoid intermediates. Rhodium(II) has a d7 electron configuration, forming the lantern type dimers with bridging carboxylates. The single electrons in the respective dz2 orbitals form an electron... 

As previously mentioned, allenes can only be obtained by 1,6-addition to acceptor-substituted enynes when the intermediate allenyl enolate reacts regioselectively with an electrophile at C-2 (or at the enolate oxygen atom to give an allenyl ketene acetal see Scheme 4.2). The regioselectivity of the simplest trapping reaction, the protonation, depends on the steric and electronic properties of the substrate, as well as the proton source. Whereas the allenyl enolates obtained from alkynyl enones 22 always provide conjugated dienones 23 by protonation at G-4 (possibly... 

It follows from these similarities in solvent properties that equilibrium or rate constants of reactions in which the solvent molecules do not directly participate generally show comparatively small changes when the deuterium content of the medium is altered. This is true even for rates of proton transfer between neutral substrates and acetate ions, which as a rule are reduced by 20-40% on going from H20 to D20 (Bell, 1965). Because of the anionic nature of one of the reactants and of the transition state these reactions are of a type in which solvent-solute interactions through hydrogen bonds are probably particularly large, and yet the solvent isotope effect is fairly small. Reactions in... 

Carbonylation of organic substrates was investigated using these well defined complexes. These carbonyl compounds exhibited catalytic properties in the carbonylation of organic substrates. In particular methanol carbonylation to methyl acetate in the gas phase was successfully attempted. Mechanistic and kinetic studies of this reaction over rhodium and iridium zeolites showed the similarities between the homogeneous and the zeolite mediated reactions. Aromatic ni-tro compounds were also converted to aromatic isocyanates using similar catalytic systems. The mechanistic aspect of this reaction will be also examined. 

Lanthanide Lewis acids catalyze many of the reactions catalyzed by other Lewis acids, for example, the Mukaiyama-aldol reaction [14], Diels-Alder reactions [15], epoxide opening by TMSCN and thiols [14,10], and the cyanosilylation of aldehydes and ketones [17]. For most of these reactions, however, lanthanide Lewis acids have no advantages over other Lewis acids. The enantioselective hetero Diels-Alder reactions reported by Danishefsky et al. exploited one of the characteristic properties of lanthanides—mild Lewis acidity. This mildness enables the use of substrates unstable to common Lewis acids, for example Danishefsky s diene. It was recently reported by Shull and Koreeda that Eu(fod)3 catalyzed the allylic 1,3-transposition of methoxyace-tates (Table 7) [18]. This rearrangement did not proceed with acetates or benzoates, and seemed selective to a-alkoxyacetates. This suggested that the methoxy group could act as an additional coordination site for the Eu catalyst, and that this stabilized the complex of the Eu catalyst and the ester. The reaction proceeded even when the substrate contained an alkynyl group (entry 7), or when proximal alkenyl carbons of the allylic acetate were fully substituted (entries 10, 11 and 13). In these cases, the Pd(II) catalyzed allylic 1,3-transposition of allylic acetates was not efficient.
