Kinetics cations

Thus, in the superacidic medium, the direction and character of N-vinylpyrroles protonation change, that is, it results in the formation of stable dications, products of simultaneous protonation of the a-position of the pyrrole ring and p-position of the vinyl group, which are prone (in the case of phenyl substituent) to intramolecular cyclization, and kinetic cations having p-protonated pyrrole undergoing rearrangement via 1,2-hydride shift. 

Until this time alkyl cations were considered only transient species. Their existence had been indirectly inferred from kinetic and stereochemical studies, but no reliable spectroscopic or other physical measurements of simple alkyl cations in solution or in the solid state were obtained. 

Other substituents which belong with this group have already been discussed. These include phenol, anisole and compounds related to it ( 5.3.4 the only kinetic data for anisole are for nitration at the encounter rate in sulphuric acid, and with acetyl nitrate in acetic anhydride see 2.5 and 5.3.3, respectively), and acetanilide ( 5.3.4). The cations PhSMe2+, PhSeMe2+, and PhaO+ have also been discussed ( 9.1.2). Amino groups are prevented from showing their character ( — 7 +717) in nitration because conditions enforce reaction through the protonated forms ( 9.1.2). 

Kinetic data are available for the nitration of a series of p-alkylphenyl trimethylammonium ions over a range of acidities in sulphuric acid. - The following table shows how p-methyl and p-tert-h xty augment the reactivity of the position ortho to them. Comparison with table 9.1 shows how very much more powerfully both the methyl and the tert-butyl group assist substitution into these strongly deactivated cations than they do at the o-positions in toluene and ferf-butylbenzene. Analysis of these results, and comparison with those for chlorination and bromination, shows that even in these highly deactivated cations, as in the nitration of alkylbenzenes ( 9.1.1), the alkyl groups still release electrons in the inductive order. In view of the comparisons just... 

The nitration of phenylpyridines and related compounds has attracted attention for a long time, and measurements of isomer proportions have been made for several compounds of this type. Nitration occurs in the phenyl ring. For 2-phenylpyridine and 2-phenylpyridine i-oxide measurements of the dependence of rate of nitration upon acidity in 75-81 % sulphuric acid at 25 °C show that both compounds are nitrated as their cations (table 8.1). The isomer distribution did not depend significantly upon the acidity, and by comparison with the kinetic data for quinolinium ( 10.4.2) the partial rate factors illustrated below were obtained.They should be compared with those for the nitration of 2-nitrobiphenyl ( 10.1). The protonated heterocyclic groups are much... 

The first quantitative studies of the nitration of quinoline, isoquinoline, and cinnoline were made by Dewar and Maitlis, who measured isomer proportions and also, by competition, the relative rates of nitration of quinoline and isoquinoline (1 24-5). Subsequently, extensive kinetic studies were reported for all three of these heterocycles and their methyl quaternary derivatives (table 10.3). The usual criteria established that over the range 77-99 % sulphuric acid at 25 °C quinoline reacts as its cation (i), and the same is true for isoquinoline in 71-84% sulphuric acid at 25 °C and 67-73 % sulphuric acid at 80 °C ( 8.2 tables 8.1, 8.3). Cinnoline reacts as the 2-cinnolinium cation (nia) in 76-83% sulphuric acid at 80 °C (see table 8.1). All of these cations are strongly deactivated. Approximate partial rate factors of /j = 9-ox io and /g = i-o X io have been estimated for isoquinolinium. The unproto-nated nitrogen atom of the 2-cinnolinium (ina) and 2-methylcinno-linium (iiiA) cations causes them to react 287 and 200 more slowly than the related 2-isoquinolinium (iia) and 2-methylisoquinolinium (iii)... 

Recently kinetic data have become available for the nitration in sulphuric acid of some of these hydroxy compounds (table 10.3). For 4-hydroxyquinoline and 4-methoxyquinoline the results verify the early conclusions regarding the nature of the substrate being nitrated in sulphuric acid. Plots of log Q against — (Lf + logioflHao) fo " these compounds and for i-methyl-4-quinolone have slopes of i-o, i-o and 0-97 at 25 C respectively, in accord with nitration via the majority species ( 8.2) which is in each case the corresponding cation of the type (iv). At a given acidity the similarity of the observed second-order rate constants for the nitrations of the quinolones and 4-methoxy-quinoline at 25 °C supports the view that similarly constructed cations are involved. Application of the encounter criterion eliminates the possibilities of a... 

Ochiai and Okamoto showed that nitration of quinoline i-oxide in sulphuric acid at o °C gave 5- and 8-nitroquinoline i-oxides with a trace of the 4-isomer, but that at 60-100 °C 4-nitration became overwhelmingly dominant. The orientation depends not only upon temperature but also upon acidity, and kinetic studies (table 8.4 table 10.3) show that two processes are occurring the nitration of the free base (vil, R = O at C(4), favoured by low acidities and high temperatures, and the nitration of the cation (vil, R = OH), favoured by high acidities and low temperatures. ...

We shall consider these points below. The mechanism for cationic polymerization continues to include initiation, propagation, transfer, and termination steps, and the rate of polymerization and the kinetic chain length are the principal quantities of interest. 

Polymeric cation-exchange resins are also used in the separation of fmctose from glucose. The UOP Sarex process has employed both 2eohtic and polymeric resin adsorbents for the production of high fmctose com symp (HFCS). The operating characteristics of these two adsorbents are substantially different and have been compared in terms of fundamental characteristics such as capacity, selectivity, and adsorption kinetics (51). 

Flotation reagents are used in the froth flotation process to (/) enhance hydrophobicity, (2) control selectivity, (J) enhance recovery and grade, and (4) affect the velocity (kinetics) of the separation process. These chemicals are classified based on utili2ation collector, frother, auxiUary reagent, or based on reagent chemistry polar, nonpolar, and anionic, cationic, nonionic, and amphoteric. The active groups of the reagent molecules are typically carboxylates, xanthates, sulfates or sulfonates, and ammonium salts. 

Podates AcycHc analogues of crown ethers /coronands and cryptands (podands, eg, (11) (30) are also capable of forming inclusion compounds (podates) with cations and uncharged organic molecules, the latter being endowed with a hydrogen bond fiinctionahty. Podates normally are less stable than coronates and cryptates but have favorable kinetics. 

When using a cation source in conjunction with a Friedel-Crafts acid the concentration of growing centers is most often difficult to measure and remains unknown. By the use of stable carbocation salts (for instance trityl and tropyhum hexachloroantimonate) the uncertainty of the concentration of initiating cations is eliminated. Due to the highly reproducible rates, stable carbocation salts have been used in kinetic studies. Their use, however, is limited to cationicaHy fairly reactive monomers (eg, A/-vinylcarbazole, -methoxystyrene, alkyl vinyl ethers) since they are too stable and therefore ineffective initiators of less reactive monomers, such as isobutylene, styrene, and dienes.

Adsorption Kinetics. In zeoHte adsorption processes the adsorbates migrate into the zeoHte crystals. First, transport must occur between crystals contained in a compact or peUet, and second, diffusion must occur within the crystals. Diffusion coefficients are measured by various methods, including the measurement of adsorption rates and the deterniination of jump times as derived from nmr results. Factors affecting kinetics and diffusion include channel geometry and dimensions molecular size, shape, and polarity zeoHte cation distribution and charge temperature adsorbate concentration impurity molecules and crystal-surface defects. 

The azo coupling reaction proceeds by the electrophilic aromatic substitution mechanism. In the case of 4-chlorobenzenediazonium compound with l-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid [84-87-7] the reaction is not base-catalyzed, but that with l-naphthol-3-sulfonic acid and 2-naphthol-8-sulfonic acid [92-40-0] is moderately and strongly base-catalyzed, respectively. The different rates of reaction agree with kinetic studies of hydrogen isotope effects in coupling components. The magnitude of the isotope effect increases with increased steric hindrance at the coupler reaction site. The addition of bases, even if pH is not changed, can affect the reaction rate. In polar aprotic media, reaction rate is different with alkyl-ammonium ions. Cationic, anionic, and nonionic surfactants can also influence the reaction rate (27). 

The structure of the radical cation [CaHsN] (102) has been established by mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy spectrometry (MIKE) (780MS518). From structure (103), structures (104) and (105) are formed (Scheme 4). 

In the section dealing with electrophilic attack at carbon some results on indazole homocyclic reactivity were presented nitration at position 5 (Section 4.04.2.1.4(ii)), sulfon-ation at position 7 (Section 4.04.2.1.4(iii)) and bromination at positions 5 and 7 (Section 4.04.2.1.4(v)). The orientation depends on the nature (cationic, neutral or anionic) of the indazole. Protonation, for instance, deactivates the heterocycle and directs the attack towards the fused benzene ring. A careful study of the nitration of indazoles at positions 2, 3, 5 or 7 has been published by Habraken (7UOC3084) who described the synthesis of several dinitroindazoles (5,7 5,6 3,5 3,6 3,4 3,7). The kinetics of the nitration of indazole to form the 5-nitro derivative have been determined (72JCS(P2)632). The rate profile at acidities below 90% sulfuric acid shows that the reaction involves the conjugate acid of indazole. 

Yttrium, on the otlrer hand, which has a larger cation radius than Cr +, appears to affect the grain boundary cation diffusion and not the volume diffusion of Ni +. The effects of the addition of small amounts of yttrium to nickel is to decrease dre rate of tire low temperamre grain-boundary dominated oxidation kinetics. 

The primary cation CH20H is created in the cage reaction under photolysis of an impurity or y-radiolysis. The rate constant of a one link growth, found from the kinetic post-polymerization curves, is constant in the interval 4.2-12 K where = 1.6 x 10 s . Above 20K the apparent activation energy goes up to 2.3 kcal/mol at 140K, where k 10 s L...
