Complex halides acids

The formation of acyl halide-Lewis acid complexes have been observed by several methods. For example, both 1 1 and 1 2 complexes of acetyl chloride, with AICI3 can be observed by NMR spectroscopy. The existence of acylium ions has been demonstrated by X-ray diffraction studies on crystalline salts. For example, crystal structure determinations have been reported for /i-methylphenylacylium and acetylium ions as SbFg salts. There is also a good deal of evidence from NMR measurements which demonstrates that acylium ions can exist in nonnucleophilic solvents. " The positive charge on acylium ions is delocalized onto the oxygen atom. This delocalization is demonstrated in particular by the short O—C bond lengths in acylium ions, which imply a major contribution from the structure having a triple bond ... 

The most commonly used traditional Lewis acids are halides of aluminum, boron, titanium, zinc, tin, and copper. However, there are also more complex Lewis-acids that are quite effective catalysts that can be easily modified for carring out enantioselective processes, by incorporating chiral ligands. These can overcome some limitations associated with the use of classical Lewis acids [47]. 

Ru(bipy)3 formed in this reaction is reduced by the sacrificial electron donor sodium ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid, EDTA. Cat is the colloidal catalyst. With platinum, the quantum yield of hydrogenation was 9.9 x 10 . The yield for C H hydrogenation was much lower. However, it could substantially be improv l by using a Pt colloid which was covered by palladium This example demonstrates that complex colloidal metal catalysts may have specific actions. Bimetalic alloys of high specific area often can prepared by radiolytic reduction of metal ions 3.44) Reactions of oxidizing radicals with colloidal metals have been investigated less thoroughly. OH radicals react with colloidal platinum to form a thin oxide layer which increases the optical absorbance in the UV and protects the colloid from further radical attack. Complexed halide atoms, such as Cl , Br, and I, also react...

Frequently substantially more than catalytic amounts of a Lewis acid metal halide are required to effect Friedel-Crafts alkylation. This is due partly to complex formation between the metal halide and the reagents or products, especially if they contain oxygen or other donor atoms. Another reason is the formation of red oils. Red oils consist of protonated (alkylated) aromatics (i.e., arenium ions) containing metal halides in the counterions or complexed with olefin oligomers. This considerable drawback, however, can be eliminated when using solid acids such as clays,97 98 zeolites (H-ZSM-5),99,100 acidic cation-exchange resins, and perfluoro-alkanesulfonic acid resins (Nafion-H).101-104... 

In Friedel-Crafts acylation of aromatics with acid chlorides and Lewis acid metal halides the reactive electrophile is considered to be formed in the interaction of the reagent and the catalyst. First the highly polarized donor-acceptor complex 1 is formed, which can further give other complexes and ion pairs.24 The various... 

In the previous examples, the sulfur atom acted as a nucleophile. Electron-deficient sulfur species such as sulfenyl ion and its equivalents (e.g. disulfide/Lewis acid complexes, sulfenic acids, sulfenyl halides, sulfonium ions, sulfines, etc.), can also serve as an electrophile. Oxidative ring closure of enethiols (a-thioketocarboxylic acid) (124), which proceeds via disulfides, produces thiophenes (125) in good yields (86EUP158380, 88JHC367). 

Lewis Acid-Complexed Metal Salts. Mixtures of aluminum chloride and metal chloride are known to be active for the isomerization of paraffins at room temperature.178 Ono and co-workers179-183 have shown that the mixtures of aluminum halides with metal sulfates are much more selective for similar reactions at room temperature. 

Lewis acid complexes of alkyl halides and alkyl sulfonates (Figure 5.26, left) and proto-nated alcohols (Figure 5.26, middle) are additional reactive electrophiles in Friedel-Crafts alkylations. The aromatic compound displaces their respective leaving group in an SN2 process. This is in principle possible (Section 2.4.4) for primary or secondary alkylating agents and alcohols.
