Hydrogen comparative

How many different enolates may arise from deprotonation of 2,4-pentanedione Draw Lewis structures for each, and predict which is likely to be the most stable. Check your conclusions by examining the energies of the different possible enolates (enolate A, B...). Is the most stable enolate that derived from deprotonation of the most electron-poor hydrogen Compare the electrostatic potential maps of the anions with each other and with your Lewis structures. Revise your drawings to be consistent with the maps. Why is one of the enolates preferred over the others ... 

N-(a-methylhomoveratryl)-3-methoxy-4-ethoxyphenylacetamide thus prepared melted at about 135°-136°C. Analysis showed the presence of 68.05% carbon and 7.62% of hydrogen compared with the calculated amount of 68.19% carbon and 7.54% hydrogen. 

Although the rates were greatly different (as expected with such different leaving groups), the product ratios were the same, within 1 %. If this had taken place by a second-order mechanism, the nucleophile would not be expected to have the same ratio of preference for attack at the P hydrogen compared to... 

Neutralization of zinc acceptors in InP by hydrogen occurs also in nonintentionally hydrogenated materials grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (Antell et al., 1988 Cole et al., 1988). Levels of hydrogen comparable to the zinc concentration have been detected by SIMS experi ... 

Skeletal copper has lower activity toward hydrogenation compared with skeletal nickel, but it offers superior selectivity for certain reactions. Hydrolysis of acrylontrile over skeletal copper yields acrylamide, retaining the unsaturated bond [114,135] ...

Competitiveness of the EU in the field of hydrogen compared to different world regions,... 

The hydrogenation of simple alkenes, such as hexene, cyclohexene, cyclo-hexadiene and benzene, has been extensively studied using biphasic, alternative solvent protocols. These hydrocarbon substrates are more difficult to hydrogenate compared to substrates with electron withdrawing groups. Benzene and alkyl substituted aromatic compounds are considerably more difficult to hydrogenate... 

A second set of experiments further supported the surface carbon route to methane. In these experiments a Ni(lOO) surface was precarbided by exposure to CO and then treated with hydrogen in the reaction chamber for various times. Steps (3) and (4) above were then followed to measure the carbide level This study showed that the rate of carbon removal in hydrogen compared favorably to the carbide formation rate in CO and to the overall methanation rate in H2/CO mixtures. Thus in a H2-CO atmosphere the reaction rate is determined by a delicate balance of the carbon formation and removal steps and neither of these is rate determining in the usual sense. 

Enhanced acidity also characterizes the sp -carbon bonded hydrogen compared to the sp one. As a consequence, alkyl vinyl ethers are more acidic than dialkyl ether and thus can be deprotonated more easily. 1-Ethoxy-1-lithioethene 54252-254 gener-... 

Beck has shown (200) that electrocatalytic hydrogenations compare favorably with catalytic hydrogenation. The latter being H2 mass transfer hampered are by a factor of from 5 to 50 slower than electrocatalytic hydrogenations as the hydrogen is generated at the site where it is consumed, so that mass transfer for hydrogen is irrelevant with the electrocatalytic reaction. 

Figure 4-8 Models showing the degree of atomic compression required to bring a chlorine atom to within bonding distance of a methane hydrogen. Compare with Figure 4-7.

Nitrogen ligands have played a minor role in homogeneous hydrogenation compared with those of phosphorus, but some such catalysts are known. The 1,10-phenanthroline complex (37) has been shown to hydrogenate cyclohexene.140...
