Fig. 40a, b. NSE spectra of a dilute solution under 0-conditions (PDMS/ d-bromobenzene, T = = 357 K). a S(Q,t)/S(Q,0) vs time t b S(Q,t)/S(Q,0) as a function of the Zimm scaling variable ( t(Q)t)2/3. The solid lines result from fitting the dynamic structure factor of the Zimm model (s. Tablet) simultaneously to all experimental data using T/r s as adjustable parameter. 

The crossover from 0- to good solvent conditions in the internal relaxation of dilute solutions was investigated by NSE on PS/d-cyclohexane (0 = 311 K) [115] and on PDMS/d-bromobenzene(0 = 357K) [110]. In Fig. 45 the characteristic frequencies Qred(Q,x) (113) are shown as a function of t = (T — 0)/0. The QZ(Q, t) were determined by fitting the theoretical dynamic structure factor S(Q, t)/S(Q,0) of the Zimm model (see Table 1) to the experimental data. This procedure is justified since the line shape of the calculated coherent dynamic structure factor provides a good description of the measured NSE-spectra under 0- as well as under good solvent conditions. 

The preceding analysis neglects the fact that for very fast follow-up reactions, transformation of B into C may take place within the solvent cage before separation of B and P (Scheme 2.14). The ensuing systematic error is an increasing function of kc but does not exceed +30 mV for rate constants as high as 1011 M-1 s-1.21 Typical examples concern the reductive cleavage of chloro- and bromobenzenes and pyridines.22... 

Reetz et al. 16) were the first to recover and recycle a dendritic catalyst through a precipitation procedure. The dimethylpalladium complex of the phosphine-functionalized DAB-dendr-[N(CH2PPh2)2]i6 dendrimer (la) is an active catalyst for the Heck reaction of bromobenzene and styrene to give trara-stilbene (89% trans-stilbene and 11% 1,1-diphenylethylene, at a conversion of 85—90%, Scheme 8). 

A de novo approach featuring a biocatalytic functionalization step of benzene or bromobenzene (12, x = Br) was reported by Johnson and his group [48]. 

Dimerization was unequivocally shown to occur for anthracene in benzene and bromobenzene even in the presence of oxygen.71 The quantum yields of dimerization, Az, as a function of concentrations of anthracene, A, and of oxygen follows... 

The one-step double functionalization of aromatics—that is, alkylation and acylation—can be accomplished with alkanes or cycloalkanes (in large excess) using the aprotic organic superacids RCO+Al2X7 (R = alkyl, aryl, X = Cl, Br)391 [Eq. (5.152)]. However, the method can be used only for benzene and bromobenzene. 

While considering the rate-enhancing effect of bromobenzene in MMA polymerization initiated by AIBN, Henrici-Olive and Olive (19) noted that the effect can be explained as the consequence of electron donor—acceptor complex formation between polymer radicals and monomer or solvent molecules. Based on this view, these authors have shown that in polymerization in active solvents (which enhance the rate), the degree of polymerization Pn appears as a linear function of M2/Rp with... 

The synthesis [25, 26] began with 7-bromo-l-tetralone (7), available in multigram quantity in three steps from succinic anhydride and bromobenzene [27, 28] (Scheme 1). Treatment of 7 with an aromatic aldehyde and base produces the corresponding benzylidene (e.g., 8) which couples with 7 in boron trifluoride etherate to form a pyrylium salt. This pyrylium salt is not isolated but treated with ammonia to afford functionalized spacer 9. As seen in Scheme 1, the attachment of anthracene [29] or acridine chromophores occurs in a single step. Alternatively, stepwise attachment of the aromatic chromophores allows construction of molecular tweezers 12 and 13 carrying different chromophores. With respect to efficiency, tweezers 10 and 11 are synthesized in six steps from inexpensive starting materials with overall yields of 11% and 14%, respectively. 

At an early date it was already recognized that the ketone (IX) derived from an oxidation of the C-18 carbinol function of methyl reserpate could be of considerable utility for further transformation of the reserpine pentacyclic ring system, but early attempts at the preparation of the desired compound by conventional oxidation, e.g., by Oppenauer s method, AAchlorosuceinimide, sodium dichromate, or chromic oxide in pyridine, were unsuccessful with both methyl reserpate and methyl 18-epireserpate. The ketone was finally obtained by heating methyl reserpate p-bromobenzene sulfonate with dimethyl sulfoxide in the presence of triethylamine (162), a method successfully used for simpler compounds (163). Subsequently, it was found that this oxidation could also be realized with other benzene sulfonate esters of methyl reserpate and 18-epireserpate. That the stereochemistry of the molecule was unaffected was proved by sodium borohydride reduction of the ketone, which gave equal amounts of methyl reserpate and its 18-epimer. This and other simple reactions of the ketone are sketched in Chart III, and additional observations will be given.

Unless modified by the presence of some other functional group, the physical properties of the aryl halides are much like those of the corresponding alkyl halides. Chlorobenzene and bromobenzene, for example, have boiling points very nearly the same as those of n-hexyl chloride and n-hexyl bromide like the alkyl halides, the aryl halides are insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents. 

In contrast, triphenylchloromethane does not react in EtjO with Na sand . The Na surface is covered so tightly with impurities as it is prepared that the bulky triphenylchloromethane (unlike smaller 1-chloropentane) cannot penetrate. After addition of sharp particles of glass and shaking, even seed-sized (ca. 0.5 mm) particles of Na can be induced to react . Alternatively, the addition of benzophenone, tetraphenylethylene, chlorobenzene, bromobenzene, or n-butyl chloride can bring about reaction . These compounds may function as Na carriers (shown for benzophenone and tetraphenylethylene by formation of known Na complexes), or to clean the surface of the Na metal. For laboratory preparations of triphenylmethylsodium, triphenylchloromethane is reacted... 

Aromatic chemicals are metabolized into unstable arene-oxides, which, as epoxides, are comparable to potentially equivalent electrophilic carbocations. These metabolites react easily with thiol groups derived from proteins, leading, for example, to hepatotoxicity. Bromobenzene seems to target a large group of functionally diverse hepatic proteins, as demonstrated recently in a proteomic analysis. The chemical is oxidized (Figure 33.10) into a 3,4-epoxide, which... 

The catalytic oxidation experiments were carried out in a round bottom flask equipped with condenser and stirrer. Typically, 6 or 12 mmol of substrate, 2 mmol bromobenzene (internal standard), 9 ml solvent (1,2-dichloroethane) and 100 mg zeolite (which contains typically around 2.9 pmol V (0.15wt%), TBHP/V ratio = 2070) were heated to 70°C, after which 6 mmol of TBHP in a 5.3 mmol chlorobenzene solution (which at the same time can function as an internal standard) were added to start the reaction. A sample was taken immediately afterwards. Before and during the reaction the mixture was purged with nitrogen for oxidations with cyclohexene and cyclooctene. Samples were filtrated over cotton wool and/or alumina, and triphenylphosphine was added to remove TBHP. In case of acetone as the solvent at 70°C, reactions were performed in a 50 ml autoclave and the reaction mixture was only purged with nitrogen before heating. After reaction TBHP was determined by iodometric titration.

The mechanism of hepatotoxicity is therefore currently unclear. It has been suggested that lipid peroxidation is responsible rather than covalent binding to protein. Arylation of other low molecular weight nucleophiles such as coenzyme A and pyridine nucleotides also occurs and may be involved in the toxicity. Bromobenzene is known to cause the inhibition or inactivation of enzymes containing SH groups. It also causes increased breakdown of phospholipids and inhibits enzymes involved in phospholipid synthesis. Arylation of sites on plasma membranes which are crucial for their function may also occur. However, it seems likely that the toxicity is a mixture of such events.
