Acidity/hydrogen bonding technique

The acidity/hydrogen-bonding NICI technique gives primarily proton abstraction anions [M—H] (Reaction 7.38) and/or cluster adduct anions [M- -C] (Reaction 7.39). Exactly what anion is observed in the NICI spectrum depends on the... 

The physical properties of the pyridopyrimidines closely resemble those of their nearest A-heteroeyclie neighbors the quinazolines and the pteridines. Thus, in common with the pteridines, the presence of groups capable of hydrogen-bonding markedly raises the melting point and lowers the solubility. - The acid dissociation constants (pif a values) and ultraviolet absorption spectra of all four parent pyridopyrimidines have been determined by Armarego in a comprehensive study of covalent hydration in these heterocyclic systems. The importance of these techniques in the study of covalent hydration, and... 

Drago and coworkers have also calculated the enthalpy values for the formation of many complexes or hydrogen bonds by NMR and calorimetric techniques. For example, in a series of phenols or t-BuOH, they observed the IR frequency shifts (Avqh) of the hydroxyl compounds and found that a linear relationship exists between bases and individual acids. In Table 7 shows some AH values calculated by equation 2, and Avqh values of t-BuOH" " while in Table 8 frequency data Avq of various substituted phenols and the AH values are given. 

There is no reason why the technique cannot be applied to extract wave functions for larger systems. Calculations have recently been completed in our group on the oxalic acid dihydrate system in this case, hydrogen bonding effects were examined in detail. 

A common theme is the existence of modified (enantioselective) sites and unmodified (racemic) sites. For the case of the tartaric acid modified Ni, it is postulated that the tartaric acid is adsorbed on the surface and stereodirects (through hydrogen bonding) adsorption of the incoming 3-ketoesters.18 19 Support for this comes from an isotope effect from deuterium labeling.23 Increased enantioselectivities resulting from co-modification with NaBr is believed to result from poisoning the racemic sites.24 A similar technique in... 

The first experimental data for a reaction involving proton transfer from a hydrogen-bonded acid to a series of bases which were chosen to give ApK-values each side of ApK=0 are given in Fig. 15 (Hibbert and Awwal, 1976, 1978 Hibbert, 1981). The results were obtained for proton transfer from 4-(3-nitrophenylazo)salicylate ion to a series of tertiary aliphatic amines in aqueous solution, as in (64) with R = 3-nitrophenylazo. Kinetic measurements were made using the temperature-jump technique with spectrophoto-metric detection to follow reactions with half-lives down to 5 x 10"6s. The reciprocal relaxation time (t ), which is the time constant of the exponential...
