Participate carbon

Only recently have attempts been made to obtain quantitative data describing the relative reactivities of the azines toward alkylating agents. The assumption that virtually all such quaternizations can be classified as SN2 with respect to the participating carbon center is probably justified (78AHC71). Products are usually formed irreversibly and where more than one product is possible, their ratios are independent of time. 

In this context, it is noteworthy that a 6a-acetoxy-5a-hydroxy- as well as a 6 -acetoxy-5a-hydroxy steroid is dehydrated by thionyl chloride/pyridine to give the corresponding 6-acetoxy-A4-olefin [128], despite the availability of a 6/ -hydrogen atom in the 6a-acetoxy derivative. This also can be rationalised in the terms used by Ingold, for a transition state of moderate cationic character would be further destabilised if one of the participating carbon atoms carries an electronegative substituent, irrespective of its configuration. The A -compound cannot therefore arise as a major product from such systems.

Experimentally, it is well established in the literature that for filling of microporosity of surface area of lOOOm g", the ratio of carbon atoms to adsorbate molecules is about 8 1. As extents of accessible surface area in microporosity decreases so this ratio increases to >800 1 (corresponding to a surface area of 10m g ). This is because much of the carbon material is not forming part of the surfaces of porosity. This basic consideration indicates the unreasonableness of attempting such a calculation. Further, any consideration of the and values of a non-participating carbon is equally unrealistic.

Aldehydes can undergo an intermolecular oxidation—reduction (Canni22aro reaction) in the presence of base to produce an alcohol and a carboxyUc acid salt. Any aldehyde is capable of participating in such a reaction, however, it is more common for those containing no protons on the alpha carbon, for example... 

Carbon-centered radicals generally react very rapidly with oxygen to generate peroxy radicals (eq. 2). The peroxy radicals can abstract hydrogen from a hydrocarbon molecule to yield a hydroperoxide and a new radical (eq. 3). This new radical can participate in reaction 2 and continue the chain. Reactions 2 and 3 are the propagation steps. Except under oxygen starved conditions, reaction 3 is rate limiting. 

Many of the reactions in which acetylene participates, as well as many properties of acetylene, can be understood in terms of the stmcture and bonding of acetylene. Acetylene is a linear molecule in which two of the atomic orbitals on the carbon are sp hybridized and two are involved in 7T bonds. The lengths and energies of the C—H O bonds and C=C<7 + 27t bonds are as follows ...
