Hydrogen donor solutes

In Example 1 the solute, acetone, contains a ketone carbonyl group which is a hydrogen acceptor, i.e., solute class 5 according to Table 15-4. This solute is to be extracted from water with chloroform solvent which contains a hydrogen donor group, i.e., solvent class 4. The solute class 5 and solvent class 4 interaction in Table 15-4 is shown to give a negative deviation from Raonlt s law. 

The intermediate diphenylhydroxymethyl radical has been detected after generation by flash photolysis. Photolysis of benzophenone in benzene solution containing potential hydrogen donors results in the formation of two intermediates that are detectable, and their rates of decay have been measured. One intermediate is the PhjCOH radical. It disappears by combination with another radical in a second-order process. A much shorter-lived species disappears with first-order kinetics in the presence of excess amounts of various hydrogen donors. The pseudo-first-order rate constants vary with the structure of the donor with 2,2-diphenylethanol, for example, k = 2 x 10 s . The rate is much less with poorer hydrogen-atom donors. The rapidly reacting intermediate is the triplet excited state of benzophenone. 

Aldehydes, both aliphatic and aromatic, can be decarbonylated by heating with chlorotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium or other catalysts such as palladium. The compound RhCl(Ph3P)3 is often called Wilkinson s catalyst.In an older reaction, aliphatic (but not aromatic) aldehydes are decarbonylated by heating with di-tert-peroxide or other peroxides, usually in a solution containing a hydrogen donor, such as a thiol. The reaction has also been initiated with light, and thermally (without an initiator) by heating at 500°C.

Aromatic diazo compounds can be reduced in water via a radical process (Scheme 11.5).108 The reduction mechanism of arenediazo-nium salts by hydroquinone was studied in detail.109 Arenediazonium tetrafluoroborate salts undergo facile electron-transfer reactions with hydroquinone in aqueous phosphate-buffered solution containing the hydrogen donor solvent acetonitrile. Reaction rates are first order in a... 

Selection of Solvents. The extraction yield of a low rank coal (Annesley) has been determined after digestion using a selection of solvents (Table II). The results show large variations in solvent power and, in particular, the high extraction yields obtained with hydrogen donor solvents. It is important to differentiate between the ability of a solvent to prevent polymerisation of the dissolved coal by hydrogen transfer, and its ability to retain the dissolved coal in solution. For example, Tetralin is frequently quoted as an... 

Prochiral derivatives of propenoic acid were reduced by hydrogen transfer from aqueous solutions of M[HCOO] (M = K+, Na+ and [NH4]+) catalyzed by Rh1 complexes of (117) or the tetrasulfonated cyclobutanediop (132) 345 Aldehydes were reduced in a phase transfer catalytic system having [RuCl2(PPh3)3] as the catalyst in the organic phase (for example chlorobenzene) and the hydrogen donor (Na-methanoate) in the aqueous phase.346... 

Formic acid, anhydrous (M.W. 46.03, m.p. 8.5°, b.p. 100.8°, density 1.22), or a 90% aqueous solution, is an excellent hydrogen donor in catalytic hydrogen transfer carried out by heating in the presence of copper [77] or nickel [77]. Also its salt with triethylamine is used for the same purpose in the presence of palladium [72, 73], Conjugated double bonds, triple bonds, aromatic rings and nitro compounds are hydrogenated in this way. 

A direct liquefaction technique, the SRC process involves mixing dried and finely pulverized coal with a hydrogen donor solvent, such as tetralin, to form a coal-solvent slurry. The slurry is pumped together with hydrogen into a pressurized, vertical flow reactor. The reactor temperature is about 825°F (440°C) and pressures range from 1,450 to 2,000 psi. A residence time in the reactor of about 30 minutes is required for the carbonaceous material to dissolve into solution. From the reactor, the product passes through a vapor/liquid separation system. The slurry solids remaining in the reactor are then removed and filtered. Various filtration techniques have been developed to remove solids from recoverable oil. 

Compounds that are more polar, and which can better hydrogen-bond with water, require less drastic alterations to the solvent environment to cause dissolution to occur. On the right side of Figure 3, we associate solute polarity with each formulation concept. Drugs that are good hydrogen donors, in the extreme sense, have acidic properties. Likewise, those that are very good acceptors have basic properties. For these compounds, formation of a salt by protonation or deprotonation is a feasible route. 

Finally, with respect to the H-acceptor properties of the solvents (a-term), water and n-octanol are quite similar. Therefore, for a hydrogen-bonding solute like 4-BuPh, the corresponding product, a-(a), is close to zero. This is not the case for the hexadecane-water system where loss of hydrogen bonding in this alkane solvent causes both the H-acceptor and H-donor terms to contribute factors of about 100 to 4-BuPh s value of K. ... 

The rapid microwave-assisted deprotection of N-benzyl carbamate (Cbz) and AT-benzyl (Bn) derivatives in solution as well as on solid support was reported by Daga et al.26 Within this report, amino groups protected as benzyl carbamates or with simple benzyl groups could be deprotected in a few minutes by microwave-assisted catalytic transfer hydrogenation with palladium charcoal in isopropanol, employing ammonium formate as the hydrogen donor (Scheme 7.6). Both MeO-PEG and PS Wang-resin were used as soluble and solid supports, respectively, in these reactions.
