Bonds acyl halides

Azoles containing a free NH group react comparatively readily with acyl halides. N-Acyl-pyrazoles, -imidazoles, etc. can be prepared by reaction sequences of either type (66) -> (67) or type (70)->(71) or (72). Such reactions have been carried out with benzoyl halides, sulfonyl halides, isocyanates, isothiocyanates and chloroformates. Reactions occur under Schotten-Baumann conditions or in inert solvents. When two isomeric products could result, only the thermodynamically stable one is usually obtained because the acylation reactions are reversible and the products interconvert readily. Thus benzotriazole forms 1-acyl derivatives (99) which preserve the Kekule resonance of the benzene ring and are therefore more stable than the isomeric 2-acyl derivatives. Acylation of pyrazoles also usually gives the more stable isomer as the sole product (66AHCi6)347). The imidazole-catalyzed hydrolysis of esters can be classified as an electrophilic attack on the multiply bonded imidazole nitrogen. 

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 ... 

Codeposition of silver vapor with perfluoroalkyl iodides at -196 °C provides an alternative route to nonsolvated primary perfluoroalkylsilvers [272] Phosphine complexes of trifluaromethylsilver are formed from the reaction of trimethyl-phosphme, silver acetate, and bis(trifluoromethyl)cadmium glyme [755] The per-fluoroalkylsilver compounds react with halogens [270], carbon dioxide [274], allyl halides [270, 274], mineral acids and water [275], and nitrosyl chloride [276] to give the expected products Oxidation with dioxygen gives ketones [270] or acyl halides [270] Sulfur reacts via insertion of sulfur into the carbon-silver bond [270] (equation 188)... 

Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions usually involve the interaction of an aromatic compound with an acyl halide or anhydride in the presence of a catalyst, to form a carbon-carbon bond [74, 75]. As the product of an acylation reaction is less reactive than its starting material, monoacylation usually occurs. The catalyst in the reaction is not a true catalyst, as it is often (but not always) required in stoichiometric quantities. For Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions in chloroaluminate(III) ionic liquids or molten salts, the ketone product of an acylation reaction forms a strong complex with the ionic liquid, and separation of the product from the ionic liquid can be extremely difficult. The products are usually isolated by quenching the ionic liquid in water. Current research is moving towards finding genuine catalysts for this reaction, some of which are described in this section. 

In the course of this study, the authors determined /Lvalues for dibenzyl, methyl phenyl, methyl p-nitrophenyl, di-p-tolyl, di-isopropyl and tetramethylene sulphoxides and for diethyl, dipropyl and dibutyl sulphites. The /Lscales are applied to the various reactions or the spectral measurements. The /Lscales have been divided into either family-dependent (FD) types, which means two or more compounds can share the same /Lscale, family-independent (FI) types. Consequently, a variety of /Lscales are now available for various families of the bases, including 29 aldehydes and ketones, 17 carboxylic amides and ureas, 14 carboxylic acids esters, 4 acyl halides, 5 nitriles, 10 ethers, 16 phosphine oxides, 12 sulphinyl compounds, 15 pyridines and pyrimidines, 16 sp3 hybridized amines and 10 alcohols. The enthalpies of formation of the hydrogen bond of 4-fluorophenol with both sulphoxides and phosphine oxides and related derivatives fit the empirical equation 18, where the standard deviation is y = 0.983. Several averaged scales are shown in Table 1588.

Hydrolysis of acyl halides is not usually catalyzed by acids, except for acyl fluorides, where hydrogen bonding can assist in the removal of There are several methods available for the hydrolysis of acyl fluorides. ... 

Alkenes can be acylated with an acyl halide and a Lewis acid catalyst in what is essentially a Friedel-Crafts reaction at an aliphatic carbon. ° The product can arise by two paths. The initial attack is by the acyl cation RCO (or by the acyl halide free or complexed see 11-14) at the double bond to give a carbocation ... 

Ion 21 can either lose a proton or combine with chloride ion. If it loses a proton, the product is an unsaturated ketone the mechanism is similar to the tetrahedral mechanism of Chapter 10, but with the charges reversed. If it combines with chloride, the product is a 3-halo ketone, which can be isolated, so that the result is addition to the double bond (see 15-45). On the other hand, the p-halo ketone may, under the conditions of the reaction, lose HCl to give the unsaturated ketone, this time by an addition-elimination mechanism. In the case of unsymmetrical alkenes, the attacking ion prefers the position at which there are more hydrogens, following Markovnikov s rule (p. 984). Anhydrides and carboxylic acids (the latter with a proton acid such as anhydrous HF, H2SO4, or polyphosphoric acid as a catalyst) are sometimes used instead of acyl halides. With some substrates and catalysts double-bond migrations are occasionally encountered so that, for example, when 1 -methylcyclohexene was acylated with acetic anhydride and zinc chloride, the major product was 6-acetyl-1-methylcyclohexene. ...

The carbon-carbon bond forming reactions of nitro compounds by alkylation with alkyl halides or acylation with acyl halides have been encountered with difficulties of the competing O-alkylation or O-acylation, respectively. In this chapter, the recent developments of C-alkylations and C-acylations of nitro compounds are summarized. The O-alkylated compounds undergo cycloaddition reactions, which are discussed in the chapter of cycloaddition (Chapter 8). 

Peptide bond formation involves activation of the carboxyl group of an amino acid residue, followed by aminolysis of the activated residue by the amino group of a second amino acid residue. Two types of activated molecules are recognized those that are not detectable but are postulated and those that are detectable and can be isolated. Postulated intermediates are necessary to account for the formation of the detectable intermediates. The postulated intermediates are consumed as fast as they are formed, either by aminolysis by an amino group or by nucleophilic attack by an oxygen nucleophile, which produces activated molecules that are also immediate precursors of the peptide. More than one activated compound may be generated by a postulated intermediate. Activated esters, acyl halides and azides, and mixed and symmetrical anhydrides are isolatable activated compounds that are generated from postulated intermediates. Peptides are produced by one of three ways ...
