Carbon basicity values

Figure 10.3-40. The rating for the disconnection strategy carbon-heteroatom bonds is illustrated, Please focus on the nitrogen atom of the tertiary amino group. It is surrounded by three strategic bonds with different values. The low value of 9 for one ofthese bonds arises because this bond leads to a chiral center. Since its formation requires a stereospecific reaction the strategic weight of this bond has been devalued. In contrast to that, the value of the bond connecting the exocyclic rest has been increased to 85, which may be compared with its basic value as an amine bond.

The relative basicity of carbonyl oxygen atoms can be measured by studying strength of hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl compound and a hydrogen donor such as phenol. In carbon tetrachloride, values of for 1 1 complex formation for the compounds shown have been measured. Rationalize the observed order of basicity. 

Rate-controlling C-protonation is dominant for many of the enamines over most or all of the pH range surveyed. As a class, simple enamines are among the most reactive of all alkenes toward electrophiles. We can estimate (following Tidwell and coworkers103) that the kH+ values for 1-pyrrolidinoethene and 1-phenyl-1-pyrrolidinoethene are greater than 108 M 1 s 1. That is, simple enamines are protonated on carbon faster than all the common classes of nucleophilic olefins except for the simple enolates (see Tables 4 and 6). However, the carbon basicity of enamines, in both the thermodynamic and kinetic senses, is quite sensitive to aspects of amine moiety structure, of alkene moiety structure, and of interactions (both electronic and steric) between the two. 

Thus, the ability of the model to predict the chemistry of heavy metals in brine in a sense was used to test the validity of the carbonate subroutine. The general procedure was to assume that the trace metal solubility in brine was controlled by either the carbonate, basic carbonate or hydrous oxide form of the metal. The heavy metal and carbonate ion activities were determined by the model. The resultant calculated solubility of the heavy metals in brine was then compared with experimentally determined values.

The influence of the aryl substitution for derivatives bearing the aryl group at the functional carbon depends on the electronic nature of the aryl substituent. Smaller basicity is measured than for acetamidines. Bicychc amidines show larger basicity, compared to the most of simple alkyl derivatives, with the gas phase basicities in the following order DBU > DBD > PMDBD > DBN > 74. DBU has the largest gas phase basicity value of 243.4kcalmol . Five-membered ring amidines display smaller basicity than six- and seven-membered cyclic amidines. 

This is why it is possible to buffer a solution at a given proton potential by choosing an acid-base pair whose basic value lies somewhere around the desired proton potential. In biology, the most important buffer is the carbon dioxide/hydrogen... 

Thirdly, in order to improve the dispersion of platinum catalysts deposited on carbon materials, the effects of surface plasma treatment of carbon blacks (CBs) were investigated. The surface characteristics of the CBs were determined by fourier transformed-infrared (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Boehm s titration method. The electrochemical properties of the plasma-treated CBs-supported Pt (Pt/CBs) catalysts were analyzed by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) experiments. From the results of FT-IR and acid-base values, N2-plasma treatment of the CBs at 300 W intensity led to a formation of a free radical on the CBs. The peak intensity increased with increase of the treatment time, due to the formation of new basic functional groups (such as C-N, C=N, -NHs, -NH, and =NH) by the free radical on the CBs. Accordingly, the basic values were enhanced by the basic functional groups. However, after a specific reaction time, Nz-plasma treatment could hardly influence on change of the surface functional groups of CBs, due to the disappearance of free radical. Consequently, it was found that optimal treatment time was 30 second for the best electro activity of Pt/CBs catalysts and the N2-plasma treated Pt/CBs possessed the better electrochemical properties than the pristine Pt/CBs. 

Figure 15.8 displays a schematic showing the basic setup of a GC-IRMS instrument for the measurement of carbon isotope values [1,37]. The combustion tube and interface in Figure 15.8 would be different for the measurement of isotope values of other elements, for example, hydrogen and oxygen. 

There have been several studies reporting equilibrium and rate measurements for reactions of TNB with thiolate ions. Values of the equilibrium constants measure the thermodynamic affinity of the nucleophile for the carbon center, a quantity usually known as the carbon basicity. This is distinct from nucleophilicity, which reflects the rate constant for nucleophilic attack. The results show that in comparison with oxygen bases, the polarizable sulfur bases have higher carbon basicities and nucleophilicities than expected from the values of the parent thiols [84, 161,162]. 

Small molecules in low viscosity solutions have, typically, rotational correlation times of a few tens of picoseconds, which means that the extreme narrowing conditions usually prevail. As a consequence, the interpretation of certain relaxation parameters, such as carbon-13 and NOE for proton-bearing carbons, is very simple. Basically, tlie DCC for a directly bonded CH pair can be assumed to be known and the experiments yield a value of the correlation time, t. One interesting application of the measurement of is to follow its variation with the site in the molecule (motional anisotropy), with temperature (the correlation... 

However, one of the most successfiil approaches to systematically encoding substructures for NMR spectrum prediction was introduced quite some time ago by Bremser [9]. He used the so-called HOSE (Hierarchical Organization of Spherical Environments) code to describe structures. As mentioned above, the chemical shift value of a carbon atom is basically influenced by the chemical environment of the atom. The HOSE code describes the environment of an atom in several virtual spheres - see Figure 10.2-1. It uses spherical layers (or levels) around the atom to define the chemical environment. The first layer is defined by all the atoms that are one bond away from the central atom, the second layer includes the atoms within the two-bond distance, and so on. This idea can be described as an atom center fragment (ACF) concept, which has been addressed by several other authors in different approaches [19-21]. 

Dioxo compounds are deprotonated at C-2 and C-4 by two equivalents of strong bases (e.g. LDA or BuLi). Carbon atom C-4 of those dianions is much more nucleophilic than the less basic center C-2 (Hauser s rule C.R. Hauser, 1958 K.G. Hampton, 1965). The formation of some typical d -synthons and their pA values are given below.

Acid-Base Behavior. The relative acidity-basicity of the filler, generally determined by measuring the pH value of a slurry of a specific mass of filler in 100 mL of deionized water, can influence the behavior of a filler in some systems. For example, the curing behavior of some elastomers is sensitive to the pH value of carbon black. 

The future for amino resins and plastics seems secure because they can provide quaHties that are not easily obtained in other ways. New developments will probably be in the areas of more highly specialized materials for treating textiles, paper, etc, and for use with other resins in the formulation of surface coatings, where a small amount of an amino resin can significantly increase the value of a more basic material. Additionally, since amino resins contain a large proportion of nitrogen, a widely abundant element, they may be in a better position to compete with other plastics as raw materials based on carbon compounds become more costly. 

Class (2) reactions are performed in the presence of dilute to concentrated aqueous sodium hydroxide, powdered potassium hydroxide, or, at elevated temperatures, soHd potassium carbonate, depending on the acidity of the substrate. Alkylations are possible in the presence of concentrated NaOH and a PT catalyst for substrates with conventional pX values up to - 23. This includes many C—H acidic compounds such as fiuorene, phenylacetylene, simple ketones, phenylacetonittile. Furthermore, alkylations of N—H, O—H, S—H, and P—H bonds, and ambident anions are weU known. Other basic phase-transfer reactions are hydrolyses, saponifications, isomerizations, H/D exchange, Michael-type additions, aldol, Darzens, and similar...
