Ionic methylated compounds

The above data are correct to about 20 kJ mole but it will be seen that the general trend among these more covalent bonds does appear to be a decrease in stability from carbon to silicon, i.e. the same way as was found for more ionic bonds in the halides. Thermodynamic data for metallorganic methyl compounds used in the produchon of semiconductor systems are shown in Table 2.3. 

The preparation of volatile derivatives makes the ionic organotin compounds amenable to evaporative separation techniques (purge and trap or gas chromatography). Hydride formation in dilute aqueous solutions is becoming a routine method for determination of methyltins [101, 104, 105, 109, 110], methyl- and butyltins [100, 111, 112], and phenyland various other organotin compounds [77, 113, 114] to form the volatile hydrides... 

The reaction of alcohols with CO can also be catalysed by palladium iodides, and various ligands or solvents. Acetic acid is prepared by the reaction of MeOH with CO in the presence of a catalyst system comprising a palladium compound, an ionic iodide compound, a sulfone solvent at conditions similar to those of the rhodium system (180 °C, 60 bar), and, in some cases, traces of a nickel-bipyridine compound were added. Sulfones or phosphine oxides play a stabilising role in preventing metal precipitation [26], Palladium(II) salts catalyse the carbonylation of methyl iodide in methanol to methyl acetate in the presence of an excess of iodide, even without amine or phosphine co-ligands platinum(II) salts are less effective [27],... 

We showed you the formation of a carbene from diazomethane to illustrate how this reaction was different from the (ionic) methylation of carboxylic acids. But this is not a very practical way of generating carbenes, not least because of the explosive nature of diazoalkanes. However, diazocarbonyl compounds are a different matter. 

Structurally similar tetramers are maintained in solutions with electronic donors (THF or TMEDA). For example, the same core structure exists for the methyllithium TMEDA adduct. Ab initio methods have been used to study the aggregation of various methyl lithium oligomers in the presence of various donor ligands. The heavier alkali metal (M = K, Rb, Cs) methyl compounds have more ionic...

The high polarity of the carbon-metal bond in various methylmetals is shown by the NPA charges summarized in Table 2. All the alkali and alkaline earth methyl compounds have high ionic character. Except for beryllium, all the methyl charges are close to —0.8 or higher. The methyl group in dimethylzinc is almost as carbanionic as in dimethylberyllium. Even the group IV compounds have substantial polar character. 

Lieber et have come to the same conclusion by an investigation of the ultraviolet spectra and dipole moments of 5-amino-, 5-methyl-amino-, and 5-dimethylamino-l, 2,3,4-thiatriazole. The dimethylamino derivative, in which no tautomerism is possible, shows the same characteristic absorption near 250 m/A as the unsubstituted compound and the monomethyl derivative. The dipole moments of the three compounds differ very little. These moments are quite large (5.8 Debye), showing that ionic resonance forms of type 9 contribute considerably to the structure of these compounds. 

A Wittig-type reaction of iminophosphorane 995 with benzoyl and ethoxycarbonyl isocyanates gave (91T6747) thiadiazolotriazines 996, whereas reaction of 995 with aromatic isocyanates afforded 997. On the other hand, iminophosphorane 995 reacted with methyl and benzyl isothiocyanates to give 998. Reaction of 995 with acid chlorides gave 999 (88H1935). All these compounds display mesoionic or zwitter ionic character (Scheme 184). 

The question as to whether or not hydrazoic add and nitric add are more closely related to the corresponding covalent compounds than to the ions could be answered by determining the configurations of the acids. From general information we would predict that the H-N and H-0 bonds are essentially covalent (with perhaps about one-third ionic character) and that the Ns and NOs groups in the acids have the same structures as in methyl azide and nitrates. This prediction is supported by the instability of the acids. 

The magnitude of J(Pt—P) for some phosphine-substituted SiPt complexes depends on the covalency of the Pt—P bond (136). Such a bond is relatively ionic in a system where it lies trans to a ligand of high trans influence and J(Pt—P) is then small. The coupling in cis complexes decreased in the order Cl > C > Si and since a comparable situation has been observed for methyl-Pt compounds it is suggested that the effect is one of a- rather than tr-interaction. 

The AH unit was assigned to the carboxyl group, as the sweet taste of compounds 2 and 3 in Table XXIVa is lost when the carboxyl group is absent or when it is converted into the methyl ester (compound 4 in Table XXIVa). It was suggested " that this group mainly interacts with its counterpart on the receptor by ionic interaction. The absence of sweet taste...
