The problem with Lewis dot structures is that they provide no insight into molecular shapes, orbitals, or distributions of electrons within molecules. Instead, they are only useful for predicting the number of bonds an atom forms whether the atom has lone pairs and whether single, double, or triple bonds are used. Once an atom is found to have an octet using a Lewis analysis, no further insight into the structure or reactivity can be obtained from the Lewis structure. We have to turn to more sophisticated molecular structure and bonding concepts to understand structure and reactivity. 

Boron trioxide is not particularly soluble in water but it slowly dissolves to form both dioxo(HB02)(meta) and trioxo(H3B03) (ortho) boric acids. It is a dimorphous oxide and exists as either a glassy or a crystalline solid. Boron trioxide is an acidic oxide and combines with metal oxides and hydroxides to form borates, some of which have characteristic colours—a fact utilised in analysis as the "borax bead test , cf alumina p. 150. Boric acid. H3BO3. properly called trioxoboric acid, may be prepared by adding excess hydrochloric or sulphuric acid to a hot saturated solution of borax, sodium heptaoxotetraborate, Na2B407, when the only moderately soluble boric acid separates as white flaky crystals on cooling. Boric acid is a very weak monobasic acid it is, in fact, a Lewis acid since its acidity is due to an initial acceptance of a lone pair of electrons from water rather than direct proton donation as in the case of Lowry-Bronsted acids, i.e.

Unfortunately, the number of mechanistic studies in this field stands in no proportion to its versatility" . Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the beneficial effect of Lewis-acids on the rate of the Diels-Alder reaction can be primarily ascribed to a reduction of the enthalpy of activation ( AAH = 30-50 kJ/mole) leaving the activation entropy essentially unchanged (TAAS = 0-10 kJ/mol)" . Solvent effects on Lewis-acid catalysed Diels-Alder reactions have received very little attention. A change in solvent affects mainly the coordination step rather than the actual Diels-Alder reaction. Donating solvents severely impede catalysis . This observation justifies the widespread use of inert solvents such as dichloromethane and chloroform for synthetic applications of Lewis-acid catalysed Diels-Alder reactions. 

Rate constants for the Diels-Alder reaction of 2.4b-e have also been determined. The results are shown in Table 2.3. These data allow an analysis of the influence of substituents on the Lewis-acid catalysed Diels-Alder reaction. This is interesting, since there are indications for a relatively large...

Although this experiment is written as a dry-lab, it can be adapted to the laboratory. Details are given for the determination of the equilibrium constant for the binding of the Lewis base 1-methylimidazole to the Lewis acid cobalt(II)4-trifluoromethyl-o-phenylene-4,6-methoxysalicylideniminate in toluene. The equilibrium constant is found by a linear regression analysis of the absorbance data to a theoretical equilibrium model.

Spectroscopic methods such as uv and fluorescence have rehed on the polyene chromophore of vitamin A as a basis for analysis. Indirectly, the classical Carr-Price colorimetric test also exploits this feature and measures the amount of a transient blue complex at 620 nm which is formed when vitamin A is dehydrated in the presence of Lewis acids. For uv measurements of retinol, retinyl acetate, and retinyl palmitate, analysis is done at 325 nm. More sensitive measurements can be obtained by fluorescence. Excitation is done at 325 nm and emission at 470 nm. Although useful, all of these methods suffer from the fact that the method is not specific and any compound which has spectral characteristics similar to vitamin A will assay like the vitamin...

Whereas Freeman and Lewis reported the first comprehensive analysis of hydroxymethylation of phenol, they were not the last to study this system. A number of reports issued since their work have confirmed the general trends that they discovered while differing in some of the relative rates observed [80,84-99], Gardziella et al. have summarized a number of these reports ([18], pp. 29-35). In addition to providing new data under a variety of conditions, the other studies have improved on the accuracy of Freeman and Lewis, provided activation parameters, and added new methodologies for measuring product development [97-99],... 

The next step in the calculations involves consideration of the allylic alcohol-carbe-noid complexes (Fig. 3.28). The simple alkoxide is represented by RT3. Coordination of this zinc alkoxide with any number of other molecules can be envisioned. The complexation of ZnCl2 to the oxygen of the alkoxide yields RT4. Due to the Lewis acidic nature of the zinc atom, dimerization of the zinc alkoxide cannot be ruled out. Hence, a simplified dimeric structure is represented in RTS. The remaining structures, RT6 and RT7 (Fig. 3.29), represent alternative zinc chloride complexes of RT3 differing from RT4. Analysis of the energetics of the cyclopropanation from each of these encounter complexes should yield information regarding the structure of the methylene transfer transition state.
