Lewis and Brqnsted Acid Catalyzed Enantioselective Additions... 

Hydroxyl-Zr bentonite catalyst was prepared and characterized in our laboratory. The results show that the hydroxyl-Zr bentonite possesses good thermal stability. The interlayer distance of the modified bentonite deceased with the increase of aging time and its the specific surface area varies inversely with the calcination temperature but increases with the increase of aging time. The surface total acidity and the number of BrQnsted acid sites of hydroxyl-Zr bentonite are reduced with the increase of calcination temperature. 

The acylation of unsaturated ketones constitutes one of the earliest routes to pyrylium salts (19CB1195). The reaction is better achieved with acyl halides than by anhydrides, and aliphatic are preferable to aromatic acid derivatives. The presence of a Lewis or Brqnsted acid is usually necessary and iron(III) chloride, aluminum chloride, boron trifluoride and perchloric acid have found frequent application. It is considered that these interact with the acid derivative to generate the actual acylating agent. 

Chemical reactions were sketched for Brqnsted acid phenomena and for -r.etal adsorption on oxides, but the chief concern was how mass law considerations could be applied to functional groups attached to a solid surface. This. jneem was addressed by appeal to the well-known reactions of polyelectro-r.tes in aqueous solutions. For example, in the simple case of deprotonation reactions, the conditional dissociation constant (Kc)... 

This activity sequence reflects the Brqnsted acidity of the samples. 

The Si, Al, P composition is generally not homogeneous throughout the individual SAPO-n crystals [4]. SAPO-n crystals contain aluminosilicate domains (SA), where the silicon is concentrated, and silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO) domains. The Brpnsted acid sites of the SAPO-5 crystals of this work are located in the SAPO domains [21]. The SA domains do not contain aluminium and are catalytically inactive [21]. The Si(4Al) environment generates the Br0nsted acidity in SAPO-5. It represents 4% of the Si+A1 + P atoms in this particular sample [21]. In the SAPO-11 crystals used in this work, the Brqnsted acid sites are located in the SA crystal domains and at the interface of SA and SAPO domains [21]. Si(nAl) environments responsible for the Brpnsted acidity of SAPO-11 are not resolved from the 29 i resonance envelop (Fig.6). Their amount was estimated at ca. 1% of the Si+Al+P atoms [21]. 

Cyclodimerization of 1,3-butadiene over Cu-exchanged zeolites FAU and EMT was followed in situ by DRIFT in a study by Voskoboinikov et al. [906]. The reaction was Brqnsted acid-catalyzed. Even though the deactivation was rather Uttle, it could be also monitored in situ through the IR spectra showing the formation of polycyclic naphthenes, which then in part consecutively transformed into aromatics. 

The a-G-F bond of metal fluoroalkyls is susceptible to electrophilic attack by Lewis and Brqnsted acids this is sometimes associated with M-fluoroalkyl vr-backbonding. Fluoride may be abstracted from the a-position of metal fluoroalkyls with fluoride acceptors including BF3, and SbFs to form metal difluorocarbene complexes, as in the conversion of [Fe(r7 -G5H5)(GF3)(GO)2] to [Fc(t] -CsUs)(=CF2)(CO)2 BF4. ... 

Acidity of Lewis Acids. In contrast to the quantitative scale of acid strength established for Brqnsted acids a similar scale for Lewis acids has not been developed. Perhaps the best known of the various approaches is the hard and soft acids and bases (HSAB) principle introduced by Pearson, defining hardness and softness as specific qualities of acids and bases (16). Hard acids have small acceptor atoms, their outer electrons are not easily excited, and bear considerable positive charge. Soft acids, in turn, have large acceptor atoms, the outer electrons are easily excited, and possess lower positive charge. A selection of typical hard and soft acids is given in Table 3. The HSAB concept predicts that hard acids prefer to associate with hard bases and soft acids with soft bases...

Their reaction setup requires the conversion of aldehyde 122 and aromatic amine 123 into the imine prior to treatment with catalyst 99c (a phosphoric acid) and enecarbamate (and a final reduction of the hemiaminal intermediate 125). This three-component reaction can thus be classified as a sequential reaction. Notably, the authors also used aliphatic aldehydes successfully. Using substituted enecarbamates gave 1,2-disubstituted 1,3-diamines 126 with excellent anti-selectivity. They proposed a transition state in which the chiral phosphoric acid activates not only the imine as a Brqnsted acid, but also the ( )-enecarbamate as Bronsted base, resulting in a pseudo-intramolecular Si-face attack to the imine [69]. 

From this work the relative efficiencies of Bronsted acids, in the presence of stannic chloride (0.166 M) in promoting hydrogen exchange at 25 °C can be ascertained from the rate coefficients (106Art) as follows HC1 (44) H20 (27) AcOH (1.6) CF3COOH (very small). Thus the ability of the dual acid systems to transfer protons is not simply related to the conventional acid strength of the BrQnsted component.

An acid is a substance from which a proton can be removed. (Some chemists describe Brqnsted-Lowry acids as proton-donors. )... 

Note that the word proton refers to the nucleus of a hydrogen atom — an H ion that has been removed from the acid molecule. It does not refer to a proton removed from the nucleus of another atom, such as oxygen or sulfur, that may be present in the acid molecule. As mentioned previously, ions share electrons with any species (ion or molecule) that has a lone pair of electrons. In aqueous solution, the proton bonds with a water molecule to form the hydronium ion. Unlike the Arrhenius theory, however, the Brqnsted-Lowry theory is not restricted to aqueous solutions. For example, the lone pair of electrons on an ammonia molecule can bond with H+, and liquid ammonia can act as a base. 

Infrared has also been used to assess the type of acidity present on a catalyst. The method involves measuring the spectrum of adsorbed pyridine on the catalyst certain characteristic absorption frequencies are assigned to Lewis acid centers (coordinately bound pyridine) and others to Brqnsted sites (pyridine adsorbed as pyridinium ion). 

In different reactions in aqueous solution, the hydrogen carbonate ion can act as an acid or a base. Write the chemical formula of the conjugate acid and the conjugate base of the hydrogen carbonate ion, HC03 (aq). Then complete the following equations. State whether the ion is a Brqnsted-Lowry acid or a base. 

As first pointed out by Brqnsted and Pedersen [33], there is usually a relationship between the rate, k, of an acid-catalysed reaction and the pK of the acid catalyst, such that... 

Amines are both Brqnsted-Lowry bases (they accept hydrogen ions from acids) and Lewis bases (they furnish an electron pair to Lewis acids). As Bronsted-Lowry bases they have Kb values. Aliphatic amines have Kb values of approximately 10 4, and aromatic amines have values near 1(H". (These values compare to a value of 10 5 for ammonia.)... 

Y, H-Y, H-MOR, H-ZSM-5) and correlated especially the shift, Av (OH), of the (high-frequency) OH stretching bands to the acid strength (Sanderson s charge on the H atom). The shifted OH bands appeared as broad signals between 3025 (AN H-X) and 2540 cm (AN - H-ZSM-5) for the neutral complexes. Also, the in-plane, 6(OH) and out-of-plane, y(OH), bending vibrations were measured and compared with the results of Fermi resonance calculations. Interaction of di-acetonitrile with NH4-, H, Na-, H-, and Co-Beta led to the detection of Brqnsted and Lewis sites through the appearance of bands at 2297 and 2325 cm", respectively. Na+ and Co + were identified by bands at 2284 and 2308 cm, respectively. 

One of the outstanding properties of zeoHtes is their acidity. This is usually divided into Brqnsted and Lewis acidity that make them capable of being appHed in, e.g., cracking and shape-selective catalysis. Characterization of zeolite acidity comprises the determination of its nature, amount and strength and is com-... 

Brqnsted-Lowry model In this model, an acid is a proton (H) donor, whereas a base accepts hydroxyl groups (OH molecule). 

It s important to understand the distinction between these two models. The Brqnsted-Lowry model was developed when acids and bases were thought to work in aqueous solvents. As a result, it deals only with hydrogen and hydroxyl groups. On the other hand, the Lewis model was developed to show what happens when water isn t the solvent, so it deals with electrons instead.

The shortcomings of the Arrhenius theory led chemists to seek other explanations for the nature of acids and bases. The Br0nsted-Lowry theory was introduced independently in 1923 by the Danish chemist Johannes Nicolaus Brqnsted and the English chemist Thomas Martin Lowry, stating that any compound that can transfer a proton to any other compound is an acid, and the compound that accepts the proton is a base. Their theory explained the behaviour of all of the acids and bases covered by the Arrhenius theory, but also was able to resolve some of the problems with that theory. That is, they were able to explain why some salts are acidic and basic (due to salt hydrolysis) and why no free protons are found in the solutions of some acids. 

What is the difference between a Br0nsted-Lowry acid and an Arrhenius acid Between a Brqnsted-Lowry base and an Arrhenius base Are all Br0nsted-Lowry bases also Arrhenius bases Are all Arrhenius bases also Br0nsted-Lowry bases Explain.
