Carbon-oxygen catalysis

During the insertion mechanism, the metal is inserted into the carbon-oxygen bond. The insertion is promoted by a strong metal—oxygen interaction. It is thought that unreduced metal ions may play an important role in the insertion mechanism (electrophilic catalysis). The type of the catalyst, the method of preparation, and the additives can influence the concentration and stability of these ions. [Pg.122]

Oxidative addition involving carbon-to-oxygen bonds is of relevance to the catalysis with palladium complexes. The most reactive carbon-oxygen bond is that between allylic fragments and carboxylates. The reaction starts with a palladium zero complex and the product is a ir-allylic palladium(II) carboxylate Figure 2.16. [Pg.38]

Carbonic anhydrase presents an instructive case where the catalytic efficiency is so great (kcat > 10 s- ) that proton transfer becomes rate-limiting. The rate was found to depend on the concentration of the protonated form of buffers in the solution. Indeed, Silverman and Tu adduced the first convincing evidence for the role of buffer in carbonic anhydrase catalysis through their observation of an imidazole buffer-dependent enhancement in equilibrium exchanges of oxygen isotope between carbon dioxide and water. The effect is strictly on kcat, and is unaffected because the latter is... [Pg.583]

In the discussion of the general base catalyzed addition step above (p. 120) the objection was raised that it was difficult to believe that general base catalysis would be necessary for the addition of water to so reactive a species as a protonated ester. An answer to this objection is implicit in the discussion above of the mechanism of hydrolysis of orthoesters. It appears that the protonated orthoester, which would be the initial product of the simple addition of a molecule of water to a protonated ester, is too reactive a species to exist in aqueous solution, and that carbon-oxygen bond-cleavage is concerted with the transfer of the proton to the orthoester. The formation of a protortated orthoester by the addition of a molecule of water to the conjugate acid of an ester will be even less likely, and it seems entirely reasonable, therefore, that the formation of the neutral orthoester, by a general base catalyzed process, should be the favoured mechanism. [Pg.123]

Hudson et a/.151,152 have concluded that the bimolecular solvolysis of ethyl chloroformate involves heterolysis of the carbon-chlorine bond and not heterolysis of the carbon-oxygen bond. Their data shows that the hydrolysis of ethyl chloroformate is a second-order reaction in water/acetone mixtures, methyl chloroformate reacting about 2.2 times as fast in 65% water/acetone at 50°C. Hydroxide ion accelerates the reaction (3.1 x 107 in 18% water/ acetone and 3.4 x 108 in 85% water/acetone) and catalysis by hydroxide ion was observed with pure water as solvent by Hall118. There is some disagreement about the value for the hydrolysis rate coefficient for ethyl chloroformate in water and in other solvents (Table 21). To date, the data of Queen153 (for pure water), Kivinen92 (for ethanol) and Liemiu101 (for methanol) must be considered the most accurate. [Pg.251]

A highly electron-deficient carbon-oxygen double bond can also participate in the co-cyclotrimerization with alkynes under the ruthenium catalysis. The cycloaddition of commercially available diethyl ketomalonate with the diynes 21 proceeded at 90 °C in the presence of 5-10 mol % Cp RuCl(cod). The expected fused 2ff-pyrans 27, however, underwent thermal electrocyclic ringopening to produce cyclopentene derivatives 28 (Eq. 14) [23]. [Pg.256]

This is not, of course, the end of the reaction as R+ is very reactive and we shall see the sort of things it can do in Chapters 17 and 19. More commonly, some sort of catalysis is involved in decomposition reactions. An important example is the decomposition of tertiary alcohols in acid solution. The carbon-oxygen bond of the alcohol does not break by itself but, after the oxygen atom has been protonated by the acid, decomposition occurs. [Pg.125]

Alcohols do not do uncatalyzed eliminations of water at reasonable temperatures. The carbon-oxygen bond is not a base, and the carbon-hydrogen bond is not an acid. The process drawn on the left is a four-center, four-electron process, which with very few exceptions does not occur thermally. The most common route for water elimination is by acid catalysis, as shown on the right path p.t., protonation of a lone pair, followed by the E2 elimination. If the carbocation is reasonably stable, the reaction may proceed via El. [Pg.121]

Both series of carbons fitted the same curve well, showing a marked decrease in the PZC value as a result of an increase in the oxidation time, along with an increase in the surface acidity of the carbons. Infonnation on the distribution of surface functionalities is a key factor in many carbon applications, such as the manufacturing of carbon-supported catalysis. The chemistry of the support determines the precursor/support interactions and, hence, the nature of the active species formed. Thus, the subject of the distribution of oxygen-containing... [Pg.187]
