C Function

FS(0)20CH3. Colourless liquid, b.p. 94°C. Functions as a powerful methylating agent, even for amides and nitriles which are not attacked by conventional alkylating agents like dialkyl sulphates. 

At first, in order to use some standard results from the theory of the Radon transform, we restrict the analysis to 2-D tensor fields whose elements belong to either the space of rapidly decreasing C° functions or the space of compactly supported C°° functions. Thus, some of the detailed issues associated with the boundary conditions are avoided. 

The ketones are a group of compounds with the general formula R-C-R. The -C-functional group is known as the carbonyl group or carbonyl radical it appears in many different classes of hydrocarbon derivatives. There are only a few important ketones, and they are all extremely hazardous. 

Sulfides are sulfur analogs of ethers they contain the C—S—C functional group. They are named as alkylthio derivatives of alkanes in substitutive lUPAC nomenclature. The functional class lUPAC nmnes of sulfides are derived in the same manner as those of ethers, but the concluding word is sulfide. 

Another class of nucleophilic addition to iminium salts can be found in the addition of diazoalkanes. These are of great interest since they were known to add and then reaet further to form three-membered rings as in the case of C=S, C=0, and C=C functions 103). Leonard and Jann 104-106) found that treatment of iminium perchlorates with diazomethane and other diazoalkanes yielded aziridinium salts. Treatment of an iminium salt such as N-cyclohexylidinepyrrolidinium perchlorate (66) with diazomethane yielded a new product whose structure was established by spectral and chemical means to be 5-azoniadispiro[4.0.5.1]dodecane perchlorate (67). The UV spectrum was devoid of any absorption above... 

FIGURE 5.8 Two structural motifs that arrange the primary structure of proteins into a higher level of organization predominate in proteins the a-helix and the /3-pleated strand. Atomic representations of these secondary structures are shown here, along with the symbols used by structural chemists to represent them the flat, helical ribbon for the a-helix and the flat, wide arrow for /3-structures. Both of these structures owe their stability to the formation of hydrogen bonds between N—H and 0=C functions along the polypeptide backbone (see Chapter 6). 

Look at the IR spectra of hexane, 1-hexene, and 1-hexyne in Figure 12.14 to see an example of how IR spectroscopy can be used. Although all three IR spectra contain many peaks, there are characteristic absorptions of the C=C and C=C functional groups that allow the three compounds to be distinguished. Thus, 1-hexene shows a characteristic C=C absorption at 1660 cm"1 and a vinylic =C—H absorption at 3100 cm"1, whereas 1-hexyne has a C=C absorption at 2100 cm"1 and a terminal alkyne =C-H absorption at 3300 cm"1.

Tetranudear gold(I) amidinate complexes are synthesized by the reaction of Au(THT)Cl with the potassium or sodium salt of the amidinate ligand in THF, Figure 1.4. Syntheses involving various substituted amidinates resulted in tetra-nuclear gold(I) clusters, [Au4(ArNC(H)NAr)4]. The C-functionalized substituted amidine ligands, ArNC(Ph)NHAr and ArNC(Me)NHAr, Ar=-QH5, were synthesized and reacted with Au(THT)Cl after deprotonation. Only tetranudear clusters were isolated.

C-functionalization of azamacrocycles is in general more difficult to achieve than N-functional-ization. The latter has been developed to an extent that macrocycles carrying side chains with various ligating groups are accessible, and Ni11 complexes can be prepared with high selectivity and predisposition for high thermodynamic and kinetic stability. 

The crystal structure of the C-functionalized imidazole derivative of 1,5,9-triazcyclododecane (75) shows a five-coordinate zinc with four /V-donors from ligand and chloride in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal arrangement. The Zn—N imidazole bonds are the shortest at 2.025(3) A.678 Deprotonation of the imidazole group resulted in a bridging imidazolate to form dinuclear zinc complexes. The pATa of 10.3 varies from the pATa of bound water with similar ligands (as low as 7.3) and the complex is not catalytic for the hydrolysis of esters. 

The metal-oxo molecular models outlined above have a quite remarkable potential for studying the metal activity in a quite unusual environment. Some of the possibilities could be (1) the generation and the chemistry of M—C, M=C, M=C functionalities (2) the interaction with alkenes, alkynes, hydrocarbons, and hydrogen (3) the activation of small molecules like N26 and CO (4) the support of metal-metal bonded functionalities and (5) the generation of highly reactive low-valent metals.

The migratory insertion reactions of the Ta-C functionalities in complexes 113-115 are presented in Scheme 22.9 In the reaction of 113-115 with both CO or Bu NC, the migration, under mild conditions (i.e., room temperature), of both alkyl or aryl groups to form r 2-ketones 116-118 and T 2-imino derivatives, 119-121, has been observed. Unlike the case of [Cp2M] or polyphenoxo derivatives of Ta, migration of the second alkyl or aryl group to the intermediate r 2-acyl or T 2-iminoacyl derivatives is very fast, which prevents the interception of the... 

The facility with which electrophilic halocarbene complexes undergo substitution reactions makes them extremely versatile synthetic intermediates, and this section summarizes these synthetic possibilities. Scheme 3 illustrates the usefulness of RuCl2(=CCl2)(CO)(PPh3)2. When the ligands are bound to electron-rich metal centers the electrophilicity is much reduced and interaction of the M=C function with some electrophiles can be observed. 

When spin-orbit coupling is introduced the symmetry states in the double group CJ are found from the direct products of the orbital and spin components. Linear combinations of the C"V eigenfunctions are then taken which transform correctly in C when spin is explicitly included, and the space-spin combinations are formed according to Ballhausen (39) so as to be diagonal under the rotation operation Cf. For an odd-electron system the Kramers doublets transform as e ( /2)a, n =1, 3, 5,... whilst for even electron systems the degenerate levels transform as e na, n = 1, 2, 3,. For d1 systems the first term in H naturally vanishes and the orbital functions are at once invested with spin to construct the C functions. 

Related work is dedicated to compounds with (L)AuC=C-functions attached to crown ether and cryptand-type units, following the idea that the luminescence properties of the chromophores will be influenced by complexation of cations in the polyether groups.87 Scheme 15 presents two examples of the devices probed in these highly successful studies.
