Intermediates stabilization

Addition to cis- and /n t-2-butene theiefoie yields different optical isomers (10,11). The failure of chlorine to attack isobutylene is attributed to the high degree of steric hindrance to approach by the anion. The reaction intermediate stabilizes itself by the loss of a proton, resulting in a very rapid reaction even at ambient temperature (12). 

Pyridine-2- and -4-diazonium ions are far less stable than benzenediazonium ions. Azolediazonium salts generally show intermediate stability provided diazotization is carried out in concentrated acid, many of the usual diazonium reactions succeed. Indeed, azolediazonium salts are often very reactive in coupling reactions. 

An explanation of the relationship between reaction rate and intermediate stability was first advanced in 1955. Known as the Hammond postulate, the argument goes like this transition states represent energy maxima. They are high-energy activated complexes that occur transiently during the course of a reaction and immediately go on to a more stable species. Although we can t...

UV-vis spectra of matrix-isolated intermediates are not so informative as matrix IR spectra. As a rule, an assignment of the UV spectrum to any intermediate follows after the identification of the latter by IR or esr spectroscopy. However, UV-vis spectra may sometimes be especially useful. It is well known, for example, that the energy of electronic transitions in singlet ground-state carbenes differs from that of the triplet species. In this way UV spectroscopy allows one to identify the ground state of the intermediate stabilized in the matrix in particular cases. This will be exemplified below. 

Energy diagrams can also be helpful to stress these concepts. Table 26.2 represents the four cases we described. In these diagrams, the intermediates a and b lead to the two products A and B. The difference in the transition state free energies AAG will determine the selectivity. In the first three quadrants, I, II and III, the major product formed is B. In particular, we discussed in this study the monopolizing case. We can see that the selectivity, in this case, is dictated by relative intermediate stability. 

Acolbifene is also metabolized to a QM (Scheme 10.10)64 formed by oxidation at the C-17 methyl group. This QM is considerably more reactive compared to the tamoxifen quinone methide, which indicates that the acolbifene quinone methide is an electrophile of intermediate stability (Table 10.2). In addition, the acolbifene QM was determined to react with deoxynucleosides, with one of the major adducts resulting from reaction with the exocyclic amino group of adenine.64... 

Table 3-4. Differences in individual residue contribution to intermediate stabilization. All values are relative to the intermediate from path B (lowest energy structure). Negative values mean that that particular residue helps stabilize the intermediate while a positive value means that the residue destabilizes the intermediate. Dashes mean that the absolute difference in contribution of that residue was less than 0.5 kcal/mol. Total value includes all residues in the enzyme...

What is retained nowadays of the initial mechanism (Scheme 1) is the occurrence of a cationic intermediate. But bromine bridging is not general, and its magnitude depends mainly on the double bond substituents (Ruasse, 1990). For example, when these are strongly electron-donating, i.e. able to stabilize a positive charge better than bromine, / -bromocarbocations are the bromination intermediates. The flexibility of transition state and intermediate stabilization puts bromination between hydration via carbocations and sulfenylation via onium ions. 

The chemistry of iminoborane compounds containing the X>N—B< moiety has developed only within the last decade. The first representatives of this type of compounds were obtained by hydroboration of nitriles with sterically hindered boranes 10> or tetraalkyldiboranes 17> the resultant compounds appeared to be unique intermediates (stabilized by steric or reactivity effects) in the course of reactions that normally lead to borazines. The intermediates illustrated in Eq. (1) are mostly unstable at room temperature and, in general, cannot be isolated. 

Thus, the best compromises for Boc and Fmoc chemistries seem to be cyclohexyl and 2,4-dimethylpent-3-yl (Dmpn), which is of intermediate stability, and the removal of which by trifluoromethanesulfonic acid with the aid of thioanisole (see Section 6.22) leads to minimal imide formation (see Section 6.13). Points to note are that acidolysis of esters by hydrogen fluoride can lead to fission at the oxy-car-bonyl bond instead of the alkyl-oxy bond, thus generating acylium ions that can react with nucleophiles (see Sections 6.16 and 6.22), and that benzyl esters may undergo transesterification if left in methanol. The side reactions of cyclization (see Section 6.16) and acylation of anisole (see Section 6.22) caused by acylium ion formation do not occur at the side chain of aspartic acid.47-51...

For a new drug application, a dataset of at least 12-month-long stability and a 6-month accelerated (or intermediate) stability, light irradiation results are required. The minimum frequency of 3 months in the first year, 6 months in the second year, and yearly stability tests thereafter are required. 

At Xu = 0 Fe was found to be of intermediate stability in octahedral coordination. Unfortunately the valences of the Fe ions could not be clearly determined using the spin integration method of section 5 because the net spin on the Fe did not match a high-spin or low-spin configuration consistent with the average formal oxidation state (+4). This suggests that the d-orbital filling takes on an... 

The stereochemical outcome of the Wittig reaction can depend on the presence or absence of lithium salts. This may be due to a betaine intermediate stabilized by lithium cation. A stable adduct of this type has now been observed during a Wittig reaction. When Ph3P=CH2 is treated with 2,2 -dipyridyl ketone, P NMR shows the formation of an oxaphosphetane (72) and addition of lithium bromide gives the chelation-stabilized betaine lithium adduct (73).

A semiquantitative procedure used to estimate the lifetimes of carbocations and oxocarbenium ions by using diffusion-controlled trapping of the cations by nucleophiles . Ions of intermediate stability react with azide ions at a constant, diffusion-controlled rate and react with water by an activated process. The ratio of the products obtained from the azide path and the water path is dependent on the electronic characteristics of the cation. 

The mechanism begins with the attack on the chlorine molecule by aluminum chloride. (This step would be the same if ironGlf) chloride were the catalyst.) The CL ion attracts a pair of electrons from the benzene to form an intermediate species. The presence of resonance in this intermediate stabilizes it and helps the reaction along.
