Carbon displacement

The high content of water and emulsifier in this fuel creates some differences in handling and application compared to conventional diesel fuel. The surfactant quality of the emulsification additive in the fuel can remove existing deposits from the internal surfaces of fuel handling and storage systems. Problems with fuel discoloration and fuel filter plugging may follow. Compared with conventional diesel, fuel economy ratings per tank of fuel will drop because the overall carbon content per unit volume of fuel is lower. This is due to carbon displacement by water. 

The nucleophilic chloride anion bonds to the carbon, displacing the pi electrons onto the oxygen. 

O This step is the same as the first step of Figure 19.1. The nucleophile, hydroxide ion in this case, bonds to the carbonyl carbon, displacing the pi electrons onto the oxygen. 

The reactions in this chapter follow the same general mechanism. First, the nucleophile bonds to the carbonyl carbon, displacing the pi electrons of the CO double bond onto the oxygen and forming the tetrahedral intermediate. In the second step the unshared electrons on the oxygen reform the pi bond as the leaving group leaves ... 

Mixed carbonates. Displacement of one succinimidoxy group with an alcohol provides reagent for A-alkoxycarbonylation of amino acids. 

A from the 24-atom macrocyclic plane. The porphyrin displays a ruffled S4 conformation with meso carbons displaced from 0.1838 to 0.1982 A above the mean plane. The macrocycle containing Pd(2) is also nearly planar, with a mean deviation of 0.0870 A from the 24-atom plane however, it exhibits a slight saddle conformation, with p carbons ranging from 0.2198 A below to 0.1686 A above the mean ring plane. The square geometry for the Pd(II) core of PdaCDPD)... 

A.i. The Sn2 Reaction. In reactions where the substrate (see 61) has a leaving group (X) connected to a sp3 carbon, displacement by a nucleophile leads to a product in which X has been replaced by the nucleophile to give 63. This process can be described as a bimolecular (it follows second order rate equation) substitution that involves a nucleophile. The mechanistic descriptor is, therefore, Sn2. Reactions labeled as Sn2 may be observed in several different functional group exchange reactions and the substrate and the reagent can be either simple or complex. All Sn2 reactions can be represented by the simple reaction sequence 61 63,... 

In addition to the dimeric 1,2,4-trithiane derivative 58 (cf. Scheme 8), isolated as a side product in very low yield and characterized by X-ray crystallography (videsupra), 5,6-benzo-l,2,4-trithiin 239 was isolated from the continuous sulfur-carbon displacement reaction of benzopentathiepin 236 <1997H(44)187>. Upon treatment with the phosphorus ylides 237 in CH2CI2, mixtures of benzotetrathiepins 238 and benzotrithiins 239 were obtained in moderate yields (NaH was deemed the base of choice cf. Scheme 69). The new products 238 and 239 were separated easily by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the structures characterized by H NMR spectroscopy, whereby the chemical shift of the methine proton was indicative of the cyclic structures that were formed (5.40-5.44 ppm for 238, but 5.96-6.07 ppm for 239). The present desulfurization mechanism is complex and is still unclear because likely intermediates have not been isolated or detected directly by spectroscopic techniques <1997H(44)187>. 

Unfortunately, the reaction of the Fe(II)(TIM) complex with CO becomes complicated in the mixed solvent. The reaction displays pseudo-first-order behavior only at long times (>200 s) and cyclic voltammetry reveals more than one electroactive component, even in the absence of CO. It is possible that propylene carbonate displaces benzonltrile as an axial ligand to Fe(ll) and that this substitution results in the formation of a high-spin complex. 

Several other types of domino reactions have been employed in the synthesis of natural products. Diastereoselective conversion of allylic carbonate 173 into enone 174 was one key transformation in a total synthesis of (+)-3-isorauniticine 175 (Scheme 27).Treatment of allylic sulfonamide 173 with a palladium catalyst re-gioselectively forms a 7r-allylpalladium intermediate by carbonate displacement. Carbopalladation of the pendant alkene, carbonylation, a second intramolecular alkene insertion, and /3-hydride elimination delivers a 67 22 11 mixture of stereoisomers of which enone 174 is the major product (isolated in 45-53% yield). Carbopalladation products can also undergo anion capture reactions. For instance, during the synthesis... 

The alkylchlorosulfite intermediate then reacts rapidly with another molecule of pyridine, in the same fashion as the original alcohol, to ve a pyridinium alkylsulfite intermediate, with release of the second chloride anion. A chloride anion then attacks the substrate carbon, displacing the sulfite leaving group, which in turn decomposes to release gaseous SO2 and pyridine. (In the absence of pyridine the reaction occurs with retention of configuration. See Problem 11.55.)... 

This type of reaction is useful in a number of processes used to obtain metals from their oxide ores. Iron, for example, can be obtained by reacting iron(III) oxide ore (Fc203) with carbon. The carbon displaces the iron from the oxide, and carbon dioxide is formed. The equation for the reaction is...

Racemization of amino acids Deprotonation of the a-carbon of the amino acid leads to tautomerization of the Schiff base to yield a quinonoid ketimine. The simplest reaction that the ketimine can undergo is reprotonation at the now symmetrical a-carbon. Displacement of the substrate by the reactive lysine residue results in the racemic mixture of d- and L-amino acid.
