Addition reactions definition

Model Networks. Constmction of model networks allows development of quantitative stmcture property relationships and provide the abiUty to test the accuracy of the theories of mbber elasticity (251—254). By definition, model networks have controlled molecular weight between cross-links, controlled cross-link functionahty, and controlled molecular weight distribution of cross-linked chains. Sihcones cross-linked by either condensation or addition reactions are ideally suited for these studies because all of the above parameters can be controlled. A typical condensation-cure model network consists of an a, CO-polydimethylsiloxanediol, tetraethoxysilane (or alkyltrimethoxysilane), and a tin-cure catalyst (255). A typical addition-cure model is composed of a, ffl-vinylpolydimethylsiloxane, tetrakis(dimethylsiloxy)silane, and a platinum-cure catalyst (256—258). 

The term carbometallation was most probably coined only about a quarter of a century ago.1 However, the history of those reactions that can be classified as carbometallation reactions is much older. If one includes not only the Ziegler-Natta-type organometallic alkene polymerization reactions2 but also various types of organometallic conjugate addition reactions,3 carbometallation collectively is easily more than a century old. In its broadest definition, carbometallation may be defined as a process of addition of a carbon-metal bond to a carbon-carbon multiple bond. As such, it may represent either a starting material-product relationship irrespective of mechanistic details or an actual mechanistic microstep of carbon-metal bond addition to a carbon-carbon metal multiple bond irrespective of the structure of the product eventually formed. 

In this chapter, theoretical studies on various transition metal catalyzed boration reactions have been summarized. The hydroboration of olefins catalyzed by the Wilkinson catalyst was studied most. The oxidative addition of borane to the Rh metal center is commonly believed to be the first step followed by the coordination of olefin. The extensive calculations on the experimentally proposed associative and dissociative reaction pathways do not yield a definitive conclusion on which pathway is preferred. Clearly, the reaction mechanism is a complicated one. It is believed that the properties of the substrate and the nature of ligands in the catalyst together with temperature and solvent affect the reaction pathways significantly. Early transition metal catalyzed hydroboration is believed to involve a G-bond metathesis process because of the difficulty in having an oxidative addition reaction due to less available metal d electrons.

The addition reaction (13.3) of a -bonded pair of groups, X—Y, forming two bonds to the metal is, by definition, an oxidative addition since the bonding electrons are assigned to the ligands and the formal oxidation state of the metal increases by 2 ... 

An attempt has been made to analyse whether the electrophilicity index is a reliable descriptor of the kinetic behaviour. Relative experimental rates of Friedel-Crafts benzylation, acetylation, and benzoylation reactions were found to correlate well with the corresponding calculated electrophilicity values. In the case of chlorination of various substituted ethylenes and nitration of toluene and chlorobenzene, the correlation was generally poor but somewhat better in the case of the experimental and the calculated activation energies for selected Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov addition reactions. Reaction electrophilicity, local electrophilicity, and activation hardness were used together to provide a transparent picture of reaction rates and also the orientation of aromatic electrophilic substitution reactions. Ambiguity in the definition of the electrophilicity was highlighted.15... 

The presence of the methyl group at a double bond therefore involves two new effects in the reaction with carbethoxynitrene—namely the predominance of substitution reactions over addition reactions and the formation of a product in which the double bond is displaced (about 20% of the total mixture). In addition to the products of Structures D, Ei, E2, and E3 expected as the result of Lwowski s work, another product, probably of Structure E4, is formed (Figure 6). This-is now being checked and necessitates the separation of the products either at the urethane stage or more effectively at the amine stage. Once the structure of this product is established definitely, the conditions affecting its formation remain to be studied, and this may yield an explanation of the reaction mechanism involved. 

Note The key word for the addition of definite amounts of a reactant to a solution is REACTION. The command SELECTED OUTPUT, which has already been mentioned in chapter 2.2.1.4, is very useful here. It directly displays all required data in an extra file in a spreadsheet format, so the user does not have to look through the whole output manually. Under molalities and under totals the species of interest and the total concentration of an element can be issued, respectively. 

As noted above, the first definition of "aromaticity" was in terms of substitution rather than addition. This is certainly true for many benzene derivatives. However, it must be used with some care since thiophene is by most criteria about as "aromatic" as benzene, but when treated with chlorine or bromine it gives an addition product. The latter is, however, the kinetically controlled product, for when heated or treated with base it loses hydrogen halide and gives the 2-halothiophene.20 Compounds such as anthracene and phenanthrene, which are recognized as having considerable resonance stabilization, also undergo addition reactions. 

We begin with benzene and then examine other cycUc, planar, and conjugated ring systems to learn the modern definition of what it means to be aromatic. Then, in Chapter 18, we will learn about the reactions of aromatic compounds, highly unsaturated hydrocarbons that do not undei o addition reactions like other unsaturated compounds. An explanation of this behavior relies on an understanding of the structure of aromatic compounds presented in Chapter 17. 

An excellent discussion on oxidative addition reactions involving halogen-containing compounds can be found in 5.8.2.9.I. These principles can be extended to oxidative additions involving other reactants as well. We attempt to adhere to the definitions presented therein. 

We readily see that this is the order which would be predicted if we assume that it is the decreasing positive character of the carbonyl carbon atom which is responsible for the decreasing order of reactivity (p. 127). It is clear, however, that other factors besides the positive character of the carbonyl carbon atom play an important part in addition reactions In Tables 1 and 2 we see that the general order of reactivity of certair carbonyl compounds with phenylmagnesium bromide is different fronc the order of reactivity of the same compounds with semicarbazide Furthermore, even the order of reactivity of the carbonyl component with semicarbazide is changed as the pH is varied. It is apparent thal unless a definite acidity aind solvent are specified, any numerical value assigned to carbonyl compounds as relative reactivities are meaningless...
