Para substitution, definition

The Textile Eiber Product Identification Act (TEPIA) requires that the fiber content of textile articles be labeled (16). The Eederal Trade Commission estabhshed and periodically refines the generic fiber definitions. The current definition for a polyester fiber is "A manufactured fiber ia which the fiber-forming substance is any long-chain synthetic polymer composed of at least 85% by weight of an ester of a substituted aromatic carboxyUc acid, including but not restricted to terephthalate units, and para substituted hydroxyben2oate units."... 

Aromatic bromides (3, 286). The definitive paper on electrophilic aromatic bromination with bromine and thallium(lll) acetate has been published. The two most oul.standingfeaturc.s are I) monobromination is observed in almost all cases, and 2) exclusive para substitution is observed with almost all monosubstituted benzenes. Electron-withdrawing groups inhibit bromination of monosubstituted benzenes. It... 

The 31P chemical shift of (21) is at relatively low field (531P = —9.5 vs. —73.4 for (6) in [Dg] toluene no J (170—31P) is observed both 31P and 13C ring resonances are shifted to low fields when the polarity of the solvent increases i.e., (531P = — 9.5-> +10.5 when toluene is replaced by nitromethane. The highly electrophilic nature of the system (21)o(22) is shown by the easy formation of a salt with pyridine and by the ready para-substitution of the phenyl ring of N,N-dimethylaniline <94RHA6l>. Definitive evidence for the formation of a phosphirenylium cation has been produced (Equation (10)) <94JA9407>. 

Aramid is the name given to a class of polymers that are aromatic polyamides. The definition of an aramid fiber is a manufactured fiber in which the fiber forming substance is along chain synthetic polyamide in which at least 85% of the amide linkages are attached directly to two aromatic rings . There are various aramid fibers, including poly-m-phenylene isophthalamide known for its flame resistant characteristics (Dupont Nomex ). A second aramid is poly-p-phenylene terephthalamide developed by Akzo and DuPont, which consists of oriented para-substituted aromatic units. This makes polymer chains rigid and rodlike. 

Various oxidation and reduction reactions of substituted metallocenes have already been discussed. A large number of substituted metallocenes have been oxidized chronopotentiometrically at a platinum foil in acetonitrile solution (39, 46). Electron-withdrawing substituents decrease the ease of oxidation, while electron-donating substituents increase the ease of oxidation with respect to the parent metallocenes. A plot of chronopotentiometric quarter-wave potentials, El, vs. Hammett para-sigma constants shows a definite linear relationship. The Ei s for ruthenocene and osmocene indicate these metallocenes are more difficultly oxidized than ferrocene, in agreement with earlier qualitative observations (18). 

Because the rate of substitution varies with position, in a benzene derivative it is more informative and frequently more useful to talk about partial rate factors than about relative rates. A partial rate factor is defined as the rate at one particular position in the benzene derivative relative to the rate of substitution at one position in benzene. Let us, for example, calculate the para and meta partial rate factors (pf and mf, respectively) for bromination of toluene with bromine in aqueous acetic acid. Toluene brominates 605 times faster than benzene under these conditions. The product is 66.8 percent p-, 0.3 percent m-, and 32.9 percent o-bromotoluene. Attack at the para position of toluene occurs 0.668 x 605 times as fast as attack at all six positions of benzene but (0.668 x 605 x 6 = 2420) times as fast as at one position of benzene. Therefore pfCH for bromination of toluene under these conditions is 2420. There are only three times as many total carbons in benzene as meta carbons in toluene. Therefore mfca3 = 0.003 x 605 x 3 = 5.5. The definitions of the partial rate factors for monosubstituted benzenes (—R) are given in Equations 7.78-7.80. 

Ounnar and co-workers [31,32] widely apply in their QSRR studies the approach called correspondence factor analysis (CFA). CFA is mathematically related to PCA, differing in the preprocessing and scaling of the data. Those authors often succeeded in assigning definite physical sense to abstract factors, e.g., they identified the Hammett constants of substituents in meta and para positions of 72 substituted /V-benzylideneanilines (NBA) in determining the first factorial axis resulting from the CFA analysis of retention data of NBA in diverse normal-phase HPLC systems. 

Di-substitution Products.—Usually however the di-substitution products are designated by numbers as first indicated. The names ortho, meta and para are also sometimes used exactly as in the benzene products together with other similar names applying to definite pairs of positions. By examining the formula we shall find that ten isomeric di-substitution products of naphthalene are possible in case the two substituents are the same. These ten with their numerical designations and names are as follows ... 

Substituting Eqs (4.27)-(4.29) into the definition of the Flory interaction parameter [Eq. (4.21)] allows it to be written in terms of solubility para-meter difference. 

The D values in Table 4 display some interesting and remarkable trends in the spin-delocalizing ability of the heteroaryl substituents. The three regio-isomeric pyridyl-substituted triplet diradicals 12g ( — 0.01), 12i ( — 0.05), and 12k (—0.06) delocalize spin worse than the phenyl reference system in the order para > ortho > meta phenyl. Especially in the ortho and para isomers delocalization is definitely less effective than for phenyl. Thus, the pyridyl derivatives act as spin donors by enhancing the spin density at the radical site, although the effects are relatively small. The small effects are mainly due to destabilizing aminyl-type radical structures with unfavorable spin accumulation at the nitrogen atom (Fig. 20) [61]. 

In general, the Perkin reaction is limited to aromatic aldehydes. The activity of substituted benzaldehydes in the Perkin reaction is similar to the trends observed in other reactions involving the carbonyl group. A halogen (28) or nitro (34) group in any position increases the rate of reaction and the yield a methyl group (26) in any position decreases the rate and yield, and this effect falls off in the order ortho > meta > para A methoxy group in the ortho position (30) has a small favorable influence, but in the para position (32) it has a definite unfavorable effect on the rate and yield. 

Molecular Similarity and QSAR. - In a first contribution on the design of a practical, fast and reliable molecular similarity index Popelier107 proposed a measure operating in an abstract space spanned by properties evaluated at BCPs, called BCP space. Molecules are believed to be represented compactly and reliably in BCP space, as this space extracts the relevant information from the molecular ab initio wave functions. Typical problems of continuous quantum similarity measures are hereby avoided. The practical use of this novel method is adequately illustrated via the Hammett equation for para- and me/a-substituted benzoic acids. On the basis of the author s definition of distances between molecules in BCP space, the experimental sequence of acidities determined by the well-known a constant of a set of substituted congeners is reproduced. Moreover, the approach points out where the common reactive centre of the molecules is. The generality and feasibility of this method will enable predictions in medically related Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSAR). This contribution combines the historically disparate fields of molecular similarity and QSAR.
