Isotope intramolecular

The BFa-catalyzed rearrangement of phenyl pentadienyl ether has been shown to proceed strictly intramolecularly and with the isotopic pattern shown. Analyze the... 

From this expression, it is obvious that the rate is proportional to the concentration of A, and k is the proportionality constant, or rate constant, k has the units of (time) usually sec is a function of [A] to the first power, or, in the terminology of kinetics, v is first-order with respect to A. For an elementary reaction, the order for any reactant is given by its exponent in the rate equation. The number of molecules that must simultaneously interact is defined as the molecularity of the reaction. Thus, the simple elementary reaction of A P is a first-order reaction. Figure 14.4 portrays the course of a first-order reaction as a function of time. The rate of decay of a radioactive isotope, like or is a first-order reaction, as is an intramolecular rearrangement, such as A P. Both are unimolecular reactions (the molecularity equals 1). 

Wawzonek et al. first investigated the mechanism of the cyclization of A-haloamines and correctly proposed the free radical chain reaction pathway that was substantiated by experimental data. "" Subsequently, Corey and Hertler examined the stereochemistry, hydrogen isotope effect, initiation, catalysis, intermediates, and selectivity of hydrogen transfer. Their results pointed conclusively to a free radical chain mechanism involving intramolecular hydrogen transfer as one of the propagation steps. Accordingly, the... 

A true intramolecular proton transfer in the second step of an azo coupling reaction was found by Snyckers and Zollinger (1970a, 1970b) in the reaction of the 8-(2 -pyridyl)-2-naphthoxide ion (with the transition state 12.151). This compound shows neither a kinetic deuterium isotope effect nor general base catalysis, in contrast to the sterically similar 8-phenyl-2-naphthoxide ion. Obviously the heterocyclic nitrogen atom is the proton acceptor. 

As has been indicated, since there is a ring isotope effect there must be a degree of C-H bond breaking in the transition state of the rate-determining stage. Clearly further work is required in this system before a definitive mechanism can be established for the intramolecular rearrangement. 

Intramolecular Isotope Effects. The data in Figure 2 clearly illustrate the failure of the experimental results in following the predicted velocity dependence of the Langevin cross-section. The remark has been frequently made that in the reactions of complex ions with molecules, hydrocarbon systems etc., experimental cross-sections correlate better with an E l than E 112 dependence on reactant ion kinetic energy (14, 24). This energy dependence of reaction presents a fundamental problem with respect to the nature of the ion-molecule interaction potential. So far no theory has been proposed which quantitatively predicts the E l dependence, and under these circumstances interpreting the experiment in these terms is questionable. 

Intramolecular isotope effect studies on the systems HD+ + He, HD+ + Ne, Ar+ + HD, and Kr + + HD (12) suggest that the E l dependence of reaction cross-section at higher reactant ion kinetic energy may be fortuitous. In these experiments the velocity dependence of the ratio of XH f /XD + cross-sections was determined. The experimental results are presented in summary in Figures 5 and 6. The G-S model makes no predictions concerning these competitive processes. The masses of the respective ions and reduced masses of the respective complex reacting systems are identical for both H and D product ions. Consequently, the intramolecular isotope effect study illuminates those... 

Intramolecular isotope effects were studied in the systems N2-HD, CO-HD, 02-HD and C02-HD (20). Product decomposition directly associated with rupture of OH or OD bonds was not observed in these reactions. Isotope effects in decomposition processes which gave OH + or OD+ from reactions of 02+ with HD and COH+ or COD + from...

In highly exothermic reactions such as this, that proceed over deep wells on the potential energy surface, sorting pathways by product state distributions is unlikely to be successful because there are too many opportunities for intramolecular vibrational redistribution to reshuffle energy among the fragments. A similar conclusion is likely as the total number of atoms increases. Therefore, isotopic substitution is a well-suited method for exploration of different pathways in such systems. 

Retention of configuration is expected for conversion of 3 to 59a. It is curious, however, for the rearrangement of 59a to 60a, since the most obvious pathway—opening of the O—O bond followed by rotation and reclosing—should lead to inversion of configuration. Double isotopic labeling with, 80 was used to show that the rearrangement of 59a to 61a, as well as the initial oxidation of 3 to 59a, is fully intramolecular. 

As for the acetyl phosphate monoanion, a metaphosphate mechanism has also been proposed 78) for the carbamoyl phosphate monoanion 119. Once again, an intramolecular proton transfer to the carbonyl group is feasible. The dianion likewise decomposes in a unimolecular reaction but not with spontaneous formation of POf as does the acetyl phosphate dianion, but to HPOj and cyanic acid. Support for this mechanism comes from isotopic labeling proof of C—O bond cleavage and from the formation of carbamoyl azide in the presence of azide ions.

To avoid the interference from intramolecular REDOR dephasing, peptides with 15NH, labels could be mixed with peptides with 13COy labels in a 1 1 ratio before fibrillization, where i and j denote the residues with isotopic enhancement at the amide and carbonyl sites, respectively. If an in-register parallel (3-sheet is considered as the hypothetical structure, the most adequate model for the analysis of the 13C 15N REDOR data measured for the case of i = j should be a 15N-13C-15N spin system, where the NCN angle is ca. 127° and the two 15N-13C distances are 5.3 and 5.5 A (Fig. 4a). For the case of i = j + 1, the NCN angle should be 154° and the two 15N-13C distances 4.2 and 5.6 A. Other combinations of i and j for an... 

Monosulfoxide 13 undergoes the Pummerer rearrangement when treated with acetic anhydride in the presence of sodium acetate.85 The experiments with tetradeuterated and 180-labeled sulfoxide confirm intermediate formation of a dication.86 The ratio of 2,8,8-trideuteriated to 4,4,6,6-tetradeuteriated product 37 is equal to the intramolecular isotope effect ku k0 =1.7 (Scheme 21).85... 

The intramolecular and intermolecular deuterium isotope effects in the cycloaddition of acrylonitrile to allene (equation 98) have been studied by Dolbier and Dai231,232. The intramolecular KIEs in the allene-acrylonitrile system were found to be 1.21 0.02 at 206°C and 1.14 0.02 at 225°C. A negligible intermolecular SKIE was found in the reaction of the mixture of tetradeuteriated and undeuteriated allene using a limited amount of acrylonitrile (ku/ku) = 1.04 0.05 at 190-210 °C for D0/D4 allene. An equilibrium deuterium IE of 0.92 0.01 was found at 280-287 5°C (15-45 h reaction time). 

Song and Beak161 have used intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen-deuterium kinetic isotope effects to investigate the mechanism of the tin tetrachloride catalysed ene-carbonyl enophile addition reaction between diethyloxomalonate and methylenecy-clohexane (equation 105). These ene reactions with carbonyl enophiles can occur by a concerted (equation 106) or a stepwise mechanism (equation 107), where the formation of the intermediate is either fast and reversible and the second step is slow k- > k-i), or where the formation of the intermediate (the k step) is rate-determining.
