Figure C3.2.19. In this ESDIAD experiment where ions are produced and collected (see text), an adsorbed acetate species is excited by an incoming electron. ions are emitted in tire direction of tire C-H bond in tire upward pointing -CH group in tire species. Circular symmetry of figure indicates tliat C-H bonds are spinning around tire vertical axis in tire acetate species. From Lee J G, Aimer J, Mocutta D, Denev S and dates J T Jr 2000 J. Chem.

CH3 group ceases, and a multibeam H pattern is observed. Measuring tlie temperature dependence of tlie beam pattern broadening into tlie volcano pattern allows one to measure tlie energy required to make the -CH group... 

Selenium dioxide, SeO, is ery poisonous (cf. p. I47), but is valuable particu larly for the oxidation of methylene ( CHs) groups to carbonyl ( CO) groups. 

This oxidation proceeds readily if the methylene group is activated by linkage to (a) a carbonyl group, (b) an aromatic ring (c) an olefine link also activates adjacent CH2 and CH groups. 

Alternatively, it may bo assumed that the basic ethoxide ion attacks a hydrogen atom of the activated CH, group to yield the carbanion directly ... 

Malonic ester, like acetoacetic ester (Section 111,151), when treated with an equivalent of sodium ethoxide, forms a mono-sodium derivative, which is of great value in synthetical work. The simplest formulation of the reaction is to r rd it as an attack of the basic ethoxide ion on a hydrogen atom in the CH, group the hydrogen atoms in the CHj group are activated by the presence of the two adjacent carbethoxyl groups ... 

The monosubstituted malonic ester still possesses an activated hydrogen atom in its CH group it can be converted into a sodio derivative (the anion is likewise mesomeric) and this caused to react with an alkyl halide to give a C-disubstituted malonic ester. The procedure may accordingly be employed for the synthesis of dialkyImalonic and dialkylacetic acids ... 

In sulfoxides and sulfones an adjacent CH group is also deprotonated by strong bases. If one considers the sulfinyl (—SO—) or sulfonyl (—SOj—) groups to be functional groups, then these carbanions are d -synthons. It will be shown later (p. 48f. and 65f.), that these anions may either serve as nonfunctional, d -, d - or d -synthons. 

C—H bonds are polarized by attached unsaturated carbon substituents. Such groups "activate" the neighbouring CHj, CHp or CH groups in the following order CR=NR > COR > CN > COOR > CR = NR > Ph > CR=CRj. Two activating substituents reinforce each other. 

If a Michael reaction uses an unsymmetrical ketone with two CH-groups of similar acidity, the enol or enolate is first prepared in pure form (p. llff.). To avoid equilibration one has to work at low temperatures. The reaction may then become slow, and it is advisable to further activate the carbon-carbon double bond. This may be achieved by the introduction of an extra electron-withdrawing silyl substituent at C-2 of an a -synthon. Treatment of the Michael adduct with base removes the silicon, and may lead as well to an aldol addition (G. Stork, 1973, 1974 B R.K. Boeckman, Jr., 1974). 

A sufficient concentration of base B is necessary for the removal of a proton of the CH, group. In a first step, the equilibrium in Scheme 20 results, in which the monomeric anhydrobase Bi constitutes the conjugated base of the quaternary salt A,. As has been shown for other rings (24). the equilibrium depends upon the concentration of the different species and the relative strength of the bases B and Bj, and depends also upon the nature of X. 

Monoazathiazolocyanines (Tables 2171A.B). The same reactive intermediates and the same conditions as in the case of thiazolomethine dyes are used in the synthesis of this class of dyes, except that the CH group is replaced by a -NH group (Schemes 46 and 47). No j3-azatrimethine thiazolocyamne has been described, in spite of an access method applied with success to other rings (65). 

A similar frequency shift is observed for their overtones or combination bands (204). It was also established that the proton-donating ability of the thiazole CH groups decreases in the order, 2>5>4 (204).

Acridine is a heterocyclic aromatic compound obtained from coal tar that is used in the syn thesis of dyes The molecular formula of acndine is C13H9N and its ring system is analogous to that of anthracene except that one CH group has been replaced by N The two most stable reso nance structures of acridine are equivalent to each other and both contain a pyndine like struc tural unit Wnte a structural formula for acridine... 

The longest continuous chain that contains the —CH group provides the base name for aldehydes The e ending of the corresponding alkane name is replaced by al and sub stituents are specified m the usual way It is not necessary to specify the location of O... 

Polygas Olefins. Refinery propylene and butenes are polymerized with a phosphoric acid catalyst at 200°C and 3040—6080 kPa (30—60 atm) to give a mixture of branched olefins up to used primarily in producing plasticizer alcohols (isooctyl, isononyl, and isodecyl alcohol). Since the olefins are branched (75% have two or more CH groups) the alcohols are also branched. Exxon, BASE, Ruhrchemie (now Hoechst), ICl, Nissan, Getty Oil, U.S. Steel Chemicals (now Aristech), and others have all used this olefin source. 

In addition to providing fully alkyl/aryl-substituted polyphosphasenes, the versatility of the process in Figure 2 has allowed the preparation of various functionalized polymers and copolymers. Thus the monomer (10) can be derivatized via deprotonation—substitution, when a P-methyl (or P—CH2—) group is present, to provide new phosphoranimines some of which, in turn, serve as precursors to new polymers (64). In the same vein, polymers containing a P—CH group, for example, poly(methylphenylphosphazene), can also be derivatized by deprotonation—substitution reactions without chain scission. This has produced a number of functionalized polymers (64,71—73), including water-soluble carboxylate salts (11), as well as graft copolymers with styrene (74) and with dimethylsiloxane (12) (75). 

Another common process iavolves reaction with C=C or C=N species having adjacent CH2 or CH groups. Initial attack of the isocyanate is on the electron-rich center of the double bond with subsequent migration and iasertion of the CONR group iato the CH bond. Suitable reagents iaclude A/-alkylated acetamidines, 1-methyl dihydroisoquiaoline, and 2-methyl-2-oxa2oline [1120-64-5] (35).
