Inclusion acetonitrile

Other measures of nucleophilicity have been proposed. Brauman et al. studied Sn2 reactions in the gas phase and applied Marcus theory to obtain the intrinsic barriers of identity reactions. These quantities were interpreted as intrinsic nucleo-philicities. Streitwieser has shown that the reactivity of anionic nucleophiles toward methyl iodide in dimethylformamide (DMF) is correlated with the overall heat of reaction in the gas phase he concludes that bond strength and electron affinity are the important factors controlling nucleophilicity. The dominant role of the solvent in controlling nucleophilicity was shown by Parker, who found solvent effects on nucleophilic reactivity of many orders of magnitude. For example, most anions are more nucleophilic in DMF than in methanol by factors as large as 10, because they are less effectively shielded by solvation in the aprotic solvent. Liotta et al. have measured rates of substitution by anionic nucleophiles in acetonitrile solution containing a crown ether, which forms an inclusion complex with the cation (K ) of the nucleophile. These rates correlate with gas phase rates of the same nucleophiles, which, in this crown ether-acetonitrile system, are considered to be naked anions. The solvation of anionic nucleophiles is treated in Section 8.3.

The latter are nearly planar, and contain an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The —NH site of the host is approached by the nitrogen end of acetonitrile, forming an N—H...

On the other hand, CH-acidic solvents such as acetylacetone, acetonitrile, nitro-methane, and dimethyl sulfoxide (Entries 25-28) yield stable crystal inclusions, each having a strict 1 1 stoichiometry. Finally, respective crystallization experiments using solvents of even less polarity or ability to form H-bonds have been carried out. The... 

It is clear that a variety of solvents commonly used in electrochemistry is available for low-temperature studies. Particularly noteworthy are the solvent mixture butyronitrile/ethyl chloride, which can be used down to about 100 K [25,47], and the inclusion of the low-polarity cosolvent, toluene, to enhance the solubility of a substrate that is insoluble in many polar solvents, in this case the fullerene, [50,51]. When low solution resistance is a priority and only moderately low temperatures are needed (above ca. -50°C), polar solvents such as acetonitrile and A Af-dimethylformamide are preferred. 

Free fatty acids are separable by GC by the inclusion of phosphoric acid in the packing so, for HPLC analysis, the phosphoric acid or other equivalent strong acid is included in the mobile phase. On a SUPELCOSIL LC 18 column, a model mixture of free fatty acids was separated with a mobile phase containing tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, water, and phosphoric acid (6 64 30 0.1) at pH 2 (Fig. 1) (15). Oleic and elaidic acids, palmitoleic and palmitelaidic acids, and linoleic and linoelaidic acids were well separated, but margarine fatty acids presented a difficult problem. Ultraviolet detection of 220 nm was used to prepare this chromatogram. 

The same reactions, carried out with potassium carbonate as base in place of a secondary amine, yield exocyclic dienes in good yield, although double-bond isomerization sometimes occurs (equation 38).93 Inclusion of tetra-zi-butylammonium chloride in the reaction mixture stops the double-bond isomerization. Thus, the reaction in equation (38) with the chloride yields only the bis(exomethylene) product in 45% yield in a slow reaction. Some N- and O-heterocyclic products, also, have been prepared by the intramolecular vinyl substitution reaction.94 A 16-membered ring lactone was made by the ring closure of a vinylic iodide group with a vinyl ketone group. The yield, based upon the reactant, was 55% but a stoichiometric amount of bis(acetonitrile)palladium dichloride was employed. The catalyst was prereduced with formic acid so that the reaction proceeded at 25 C (equation 39).95... 

By contrast, irradiation of N-P -N or N-M -N adsorbed on NaY zeolite results in an intramolecular photocyclomer. Inclusion of the diaryl compounds within activated NaY zeolite was achieved using cyclohexane as the solvent. The zeolite with adsorbed substrate was isolated by filtration and dried under reduced pressure. The loading level was kept at -50 irmol of substrate per gram of zeolite ( 1 molecule per 10 supercages). This material was then transferred to a quartz vessel. After evacuation, the vessel was sealed and the sample was irradiated with light >280 nm. Generally, after 4 hr of irradiation, the conversion was near 100%. Similar conversions were obtained in acetonitrile after about 1 hr irradiation. 

Macrocyclic calix[4]arene metallocene hosts have been prepared by our laboratory (138, 146) (Schemes 35, 36) and the crystal structures of (109) and the dimeric host (110) are shown in Figs. 25 and 26. Preliminary solution H NMR and electrochemical inclusion studies in solvents such as acetonitrile, chloroform, and dichloromethane showed... 

Another problem, often important when dealing with Marcus correlations may arise when the potentials are known in one solvent while the kinetic experiments are made in another one. Calculation of dG requires inclusion of the effect of solvent change on the electrochemical potentials. The usual procedure considers the difference in the solvation energies of the ions according to the Born equation. For instance, when using acetonitrile measurements to evaluate values in benzene, Eq. (8) may be used [97, 98],... 

Fig. 8. Inclusion of acetonitrile within the cavity of the sodiumd) complex of a cyclen-based ligand carrying four pendant quinolyl groups.

The blue complex of 34 has a formation constant of 1044 dm mok while the corresponding value for the complex of 35 is 140 dm mok. In both cases the NMR spectra confirm that these species are true inclusion complexes. The com-plexation of 34 was also investigated by voltammetry the half-wave potential for the single electron oxidation of benzidine in acetonitrile is shifted anodically after the addition of excess host to the guest. 

In Figure 1 we see baseline resolution of all the PTH amino adds in the standard. Roughly eqmvalent recoveries of all are noted, with the exception of His and Arg, which are somewhat broader in this system. Peak heights are equivalent to those found by manual iiyection of dilutions from a concentrated stock of PTH-AA. This indicates that no drastic losses were encountered with the use of 2% acetonitrile to redissolve the sample after R4 conversion and drying. Espedally noteworthy are the recoveries of PTH-Ser and PTH-Thr, despite the lack of DTT in the modified R4 and S4. One possibility is ihat the presence of DTT in the X2 wash of the flask between iixjections is a satisfactory substitution for inclusion in S4 and R4 for sequendng at this level.
