Two other examples will sufhce. Methane physisorbs on NaCl(lOO) and an early study showed that the symmetrical, IR-inactive v mode could now be observed [97]. In more recent work, polarized FTIR rehection spectroscopy was used to determine that on being adsorbed, the three-fold degeneracies of the vs and v modes were partially removed [98]. This hnding allowed consideration of possible adsorbate-adsorbent geometries one was that of a tripod with three of the methane hydrogens on the surface. The systems were at between 4 and 40 K so that the equilibrium pressure was very low, about 10 atm. 

The formation of ethyl acetoacetate is an example of a general reaction knowu as the acetoacetlc ester condensation in which an ester having hydrogen on the a-carbon atom condenses with a second molecule of the same ester or with another ester (which may or may not have hydrogen on the a-carbon atom) in the presence of a basic catalyst (sodium, sodium ethoxide, sodamide, sodium triphenylmethide) to form a p-keto-ester. The mechanism of the reaction may be illustrated by the condensation of ethyl acetate with another molecule of ethyl acetate by means of sodium ethoxide. ... 

The mechanism of the reaction may involve the formation of an anion by the base B, followed by the shift of hydrogen on the hydrazone anion with simultaneous loss of nitrogen to yield a carbanion ... 

Compounds of this type possess a definite Aj-selenazoline structure, while homologous compounds with at least one labile hydrogen on the 2-amino group can exist as a tautomeric equilibrium (Scheme 64). 

Two aldehydes two ketones or one aldehyde and one ketone may be formed Let s recall the classes of carbonyl compounds from Table 4 1 Aldehydes have at least one hydrogen on the carbonyl group ketones have two carbon substituents—alkyl groups for example—on the carbonyl Carboxylic acids have a hydroxyl substituent attached to the carbonyl group... 

A different reaction takes place when electrophiles react with arenes Substitution is observed instead of addition If we represent an arene by the general formula ArH where Ar stands for an aryl group the electrophihc portion of the reagent replaces one of the hydrogens on the ring... 

The carboxyl group of acids appears to deactivate the hydrogens on the alpha carbon atom toward attack by the free-radical flux in oxidation reactions. Acetic acid, therefore, is particularly inert toward further oxidation (hydrogens are both primary and deactivated) (48). For this reason, it is feasible to produce acetic acid by the oxidation of butane (in the Hquid phase), even under rather severe oxidation conditions under which most other products are further oxidized to a significant extent (22). 

Mechanical Properties Related to Polymer Structure. Methacrylates are harder polymers of higher tensile strength and lower elongation than thek acrylate counterparts because substitution of the methyl group for the a-hydrogen on the main chain restricts the freedom of rotation and motion of the polymer backbone. This is demonstrated in Table 3. 

Formaldehyde reacts with the hydrogen on the a-carbon of the fatty acid from which the oxazoline was formed to yield a vinyl monomer which can be polymerized or utilized for synthesis (4). Thus, esters of the oxazoline formed from TRIS AMINO undergo the reaction... 

Carboxjiates with a fiuorinated alkyl chain ate marketed by the 3M/Industrial Chemical Products Company under the trade name Fluotad surfactants. They also include other functional derivatives of fiuorinated and perfluorinated alkyl chains. Replacement of hydrogens on the hydrophobe by fluorine atoms leads to surfactant molecules of unusually low surface tension. This property imparts excellent leveling effectiveness. 

Reaction of Enolate Anions. In the presence of certain bases, eg, sodium alkoxide, an ester having a hydrogen on the a-carbon atom undergoes a wide variety of characteristic enolate reactions. Mechanistically, the base removes a proton from the a-carbon, giving an enolate that then can react with an electrophile. Depending on the final product, the base may be consumed stoichiometricaHy or may function as a catalyst. Eor example, the sodium alkoxide used in the Claisen condensation is a catalyst ... 

More bulky nucleophiles usually approach the cyclohexanone carbonyl from the equatorial direction. This is called steric approach control and is the result of van der Waals type repulsions. Larger nucleophiles encounter the 3,5-axial hydrogens on the axial approach trajectory. 

Allylic conjugation stabilizes carbanions, and pAT values of 43 (in cyclohexylamine) and 47—48 (in THF-HMPA) have been determined for propene. On the basis of exchange rates with cesium cyclohexylamide, cyclohexene and cycloheptene have been found to have pAT values of about 45 in cyclohexylamine. The hydrogens on the sjp-... 

The relative stability of the intermediates determines the position of substitution under kinetically controlled conditions. For naphthalene, the preferred site for electrophilic attack is the 1-position. Two factors can result in substitution at the 2-position. If the electrophile is very bulky, the hydrogen on the adjacent ring may cause a steric preference for attack at C-2. Under conditions of reversible substitution, where relative thermodynamic stability is the controlling factor, 2-substitution is frequently preferred. An example of this behavior is in sulfonation, where low-temperature reaction gives the 1-isomer but at elevated temperatures the 2-isomer is formed. ...
