Cyclic polarization

Experimental values are collected in the McClellan book (B-63MI40400) and in a review on dipole moments and structure of azoles (71KGS867). Some selected values are reported in Table 3. The old controversy about the dipole moment of pyrazole in solution has been settled by studying its permittivity over a large range of concentrations (75BSF1675). These measurements show that pyrazole forms non-polar cyclic dimers (39) when concentration increases and, in consequence, the permittivity value decreases.

The heptapeptide ulicyclamide (15) and the octapeptide ulithiacyclamide (16) were the first representatives of a series of cyclic peptides to be isolated from Lissoclinum patella. Their structures were elucidated by interpretation of spectral data [44], A revised structure was later put forward for ulicyclamide (15) as a result of a detailed analysis of the fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrum. The same paper reported the isolation of two more polar cyclic peptides and another, which was present as a minor component. These heptapeptides were called lissoclinamides 1-3 (17-19) [45]. An unidentified tunicate from the Great Barrier Reef contained ulithiacyclamide (16) and ascidiacyclamide (14) [46]. Two syntheses of ulithiacyclamide (16)...

The gas-phase elimination kinetics of ethyl oxamate, ethyl N,N-dimethyloxamate and ethyl oxanilate have been determined in a static reactor system, seasoned with allyl bromide and in the presence of a free radical inhibitor.12 These reactions are homogeneous, unimolecular and appear to proceed through moderately polar cyclic transition states. 

The behaviour of 16 substituted benzoyl/arylcarbamoyl and benzoyl/arylthiocar-bamoyl stabilized ylides under conditions of flash vacuum pyrolysis has been investigated.15 Kinetic studies show the thiocarbamoyl ylides to react consistently faster than their carbamoyl analogues and substituent effects suggest a polar cyclic transition state, which involves attack by the benzoyl oxygen on the carbamoyl/thiocarbamoyl NH (Scheme 5). 

The reactivity follows the sequence X = SeSnR3 < SSnR3 < OR PR2 < OSnR3 < NRCHO < NR2, and a polar cyclic mechanism appears likely.18...

It is generally assumed that olefin insertion into metal-carbon or metal-hydrogen bonds takes place by a concerted reaction path, that means through a more or less polar, cyclic transition state, with simultaneous bond breaking and bond making, e.g.-. 

Similarly to Dannhauser, Bordewijk et al [Bo 69a] refuted the role of cleavage of the hydrogen bonds in the first dispersion range. On the basis of investigations on heptanol isomers, they assumed the joint presence of polar cyclic tetramers, dimers and monomers in the liquid. The first dielectric absorption range was explained by the reorientation of the tetramers. 

The gas-phase elimination kinetics of several ethyl esters of 2-oxocarboxylic acid have been found to be homogeneous, unimolecular, and follow a first-order rate law. ° Ethyl oxalyl chloride undergoes only decarboxylation, while both ethyl piperidinegly-oxilate and ethyl benzoyl formate exhibit parallel decarboxylation and decarbonylation reactions. The mechanisms of these decomposition reactions were described in terms of concerted discrete polar cyclic TS structures. 

The most frequently used techniques for ORR catalysis studies are steady-state polarization, cyclic voltammetry, rotating disk electrode (RDE), and rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE). 

A semi-polar cyclic five-membered transition state has been proposed to account for the unimolecular pyrolysis kinetics of primary, secondary, and tertiary 2-phenoxycarboxylic acids in the gas phase reaction rates increase in the order 2-phenoxyacetic, 2-phenoxypropionic, 2-phenoxybutyric, and 2-phenoxyisobutyric acid. Phenol formation in the rate-determining step is followed by formation and subsequent decompositon of an intermediate lactone to give carbon monoxide and the corresponding carbonyl compound however, in the case of 2-phenoxyisobutyric acid, a parallel elimination reaction gives phenol and methacrylic acid." ... 

The most commonly-used steady state techniques are potentiodynamic tests to determine the corrosion rate in systems that experience a uniform corrosion process. This type of attack can also be studied by measuring resistance to polarization. Cyclical polarization ciurves are also used to study localized corrosion and potentiokinetic reactivation is the most suitable study technique for evaluating intergranular corrosion produced by a sensitization phenomenon following ASTM G108 standard test. 

The non-polar cyclic or fatty radicals in the acidic part of the molecule and the ethyl or isopropyl radicals in its alcoholic part probably interact with the corresponding hydrophobic regions of the ChR, providing the firm sorption of the drug necessary for the cholinolytic effect. 

In the early 1990s, Decker and Moussa " described several classes of novel acrylic monomers that display enhanced rates of radical photopolymerization together with reduced sensitivity toward oxygen inhibition. Examples of the structures of several of these monomers are shown below. The presence of highly polar cyclic carbonate (41), cyclic urethane (42), or open-chain urethane (43) groups within the molecule appears to be required for the enhanced reactivity of these monomers. A number of theories have been set forth to account for the results, but a fully definitive explanation is still not available. 

Why do we not simply write the isomeric free carbocations as intermediates in the acid-catalyzed ring openings The reason is that the cyclic oxonium ion has an octet sfructure, whereas the carbocation isomer has a carbon with an electron sextet. Indeed, experimentally, inversion is observed when reaction takes place at a stereocenter. Like the reaction of oxacyclopropanes with anionic nucleophiles, the acid-catalyzed process includes backside displacement—in this case, on a highly polarized cyclic alkyloxonium ion.
