Compounds with Heteroatoms

The elements shown in Table 10.4 can be classified into three categories, following the recommended nomenclature of McLafferty. A elements are those that are monoisotopic, such as F, P, and I. Hydrogen is also classified as an A element, because the natural abundance of deuterium is so low. A + 1 elements are those with two isotopes, one heavier than the most abundant isotope by 1 Da. Carbon and nitrogen are A + 1 elements. A + 2 elements have an isotope that is 2 Da heavier than the most abundant isotope. Cl, Br, and O are the three most common of these S and Si are also A + 2 elements that must be considered if their presence is detected by elemental combustion analysis or other analytical methods. 

The A + 2 elements are the easiest to recognize, so they should be looked for first when presented with an unknown mass spectrum. Oxygen has already been discussed, so look at the isotope ratios of Cl and Br from Table 10.4. Cl has two isotopes, Cl and Cl, in a ratio of 100 33. A compound 

For organochlorine compounds with one Cl atom, such as CH3CI, we will expect to see a peak at (M + 2) because there will be Cl present. The ratio (M + 2)/M will be the same as the natural ratio of Cl to Cl, that is, 32.7%, resulting in the same one-third pattern seen in HCI.

Heats of formation, molecular geometries, ionization potentials and dipole moments are calculated by the MNDO method for a large number of molecules. The MNDO results are compared with the corresponding MINDO/3 results on a statistical basis. For the properties investigated, the mean absolute errors in MNDO are uniformly smaller than those in MINDO/3 by a factor of about 2. Major improvements of MNDO over MINDO/3 are found for the heats of formation of unsaturated systems and molecules with NN bonds, for bond angles, for higher ionization potentials, and for dipole moments of compounds with heteroatoms. 

In general compounds with heteroatoms (N, O, S and P) are more amenable to fluorescence reactions" than pure hydrocarbons. Under the influence of the catalytic sorbents substances rich in Jt-electrons are formed, that conjugate to rigid reaction products that are fluorescent when appropriately excited. The formation of fluorescent derivatives is frequently encouraged by gassing with nitrogen or carbon dioxide. 

When we have obtained a good correlation for normal paraffins, we would naturally want to know if we can extend this to the branched paraffins, and onward to the population of all the saturated hydrocarbons (by including the cyclic paraffins), and onward to the population of all hydrocarbons (by including olefins, acetylenes, and aromatic compounds), and then onward to the population of all organic compounds (by including compounds with heteroatoms, such as O, N, Cl). A correlation that applies accurately to a larger domain is more useful than one that works only for a smaller domain.

Removal of two electrons from the formal cyclic 87r-electron structures serves to produce potential Hiickel 4n + 2 aromatic systems. The loss of one electron to form a radical cation was referred to in Section 2.26.2.1, and removal of a second electron by electrochemical oxidation, leading to dicationic structures, has also been achieved for a wide range of unsaturated compounds with heteroatoms in the 1,4 positions (70ZC147, 73JA2375). The oxidations are discussed further in Section 2.26.3.1.5, where tabulated data are presented. An interesting feature is the stability of certain salts of the dications, some of which have been isolated. 

The conjugate addition of heteronucleophiles to activated alkenes has been used very often in organic synthesis to prepare compounds with heteroatoms [3 to various activating functional groups, e.g. ketones, esters, nitriles, sulfones, sulfoxides and nitro groups. As in the Michael reaction, a catalytic amount of a weak base is usually used in these reactions (with amines as nucleophiles, no additional base is added).

In the case of compounds with heteroatoms Si becomes a nonvoid set and ai 0. 

The appearance of crown forms in tetroxocane and other compounds with heteroatoms in the 1,3,5 and 7 positions probably results from two stabilizing effects (a) a slightly lower eclipsing barrier for the —O—CHg— versus the —CH2—CH2 fragment in the crown there are eight partially eclipsed bonds which would benefit from relief of torsional strain (b) distorted crowns, i.e. the chair-chair and twist-chair-chair may suffer from higher dipolar repulsions than does the crown. Unfortunately, there are no conformational energy calculations available on any of the heterocyclic systems. 

Hetero-Diels-Alder reactions starting with unsaturated compounds with heteroatom-carbon or heteroatom-heteroatom multiple bond(s) are also enhanced by Lewis acids [374-381]. Aldehydes and imines work as dienophiles under the influence of TiCU- Electron-rich dienes are generally a preferable partner, as shown in Eq. (149), in which the product was obtained virtually as a single isomer [382,383]. The importance of the choice of the Lewis acid in determining the stereochemical outcome of the reaction is illustrated in Eq. (150) [384]. The notion of chelation and of Felkin-Anh models, respectively, is valid for these Diels-Alder reactions. Diastereoi-somers other than those shown in Eq. (150) were not detected. The stereochemistry of the product in Eq. (149) could be also explained by the chelation model.

Compounds with heteroatoms on adjacent carbon atoms, e.g. (17) and (18), are most helpfully considered as derivatives of alcohols. Disconnection gives the synthon (19), the reagent for which is the epoxide (20), the compound you would get if you tried to make (19) itself. 

As a rule, a much better agreement can be obtained for compounds with heteroatoms because the additional parameters used in the calculations (the Coulomb integral of the heteroatoms, the resonance integral of the carbon-heteroatom bonds, etc.) can be adjusted to give a reasonable fit with experimental data.
