2-propanol predicting reaction

Predict the product of the following nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction of benzoyl chloride with 2-propanol ... 

In the pulse radiolysis studies on the reaction of MV with TiOj, the sol contained propanol-2 or formate and methyl viologen, MV Ionizing radiation produces reducing organic radicals, i.e. (CH3)2COH or C02 , respectively, and these radicals react rapidly with MV to form MV. The reaction of MV with the colloidal particles was then followed by recording the 600 nm absorption of MV . The rate of reaction was found to be slower than predicted for a diffusion controlled reaction. 

Chemical/Physical. Hydrolysis in distilled water at 25 °C produced l-chloro-2-propanol and HCl. The reported half-life for this reaction is 23.6 yr (Milano et al., 1988). The hydrolysis rate constant for 1,2-dichloropropane at pH 7 and 25 °C was determined to be 5 x 10 Vh, resulting in a half-life of 15.8 yr. The half-life is reduced to 24 d at 85 °C and pH 7.15 (Ellington et al., 1987). A volatilization half-life of 50 min was predicted from water stirred in an open container of depth 6.5 cm at 200 rpm (Dilling et al., 1975). Ozonolysis yielded carbon dioxide at low ozone concentrations (Medley and Stover, 1983). 

To date, mechanistic studies into the carbonylations of secondary alcohols with the same type of rhodium/RI catalyst system have used 2-propanol as a model substrate. At least part of the reason for this has been to minimize the expected complexities of the product analyses. The carbonylation of 2-propanol gives mixtures of n- and isobutyric acids. Two studies have been (24b, 32) reported with this system. The first of these (32) concluded that the reactivity could be described in terms of the same nucleophilic mechanism as has been described above, despite the fact that the reaction rates at 200°C were approximately 140 times faster than predicted by this type of chemistry (24b). Other data also indicated that this SN2-type reactivity was probably not the sole contributor to the reaction scheme. For example, the authors were not able to adequately explain either the effect of reaction conditions on product distribution or the activation parameters. They also did not consider the possible contribution of a hydrocarboxylation pathway, which is known to be extremely efficient in analogous systems (55). For these reasons, a second study into the carbonylation of 2-propanol was initiated (24b, 57). 

Intramolecular interactions in the transitions states (TS) are also relevant to properly predict or reproduce experimental rate constants, since they directly affect the TSs energies and small variations in reaction barriers have relative large impact on k since they enter exponentially in the rate constant equation. A detailed discussion on such interactions, in the TSs of different H abstraction paths, for 2-propanol -I- OH reacfion has been provided by Luo et al. [85]. These authors have also discussed the influence of fhe inferactions on the reaction barriers and rate coefficients. 

The Ti species abstracts hydrogen from the alcohol (p. 347), and then dimerizes. The /PrO radical, which is formed by this process, donates H to another molecule of ground-state benzophenone, producing acetone and another molecule of 51. This mechanism predicts that the quantum yield for the disappearance of benzophenone should be 2, since each quantum of light results in the conversion of 2 equivalents of benzophenone to 51. Under favorable experimental conditions, the observed quantum yield does approach 2. Benzophenone abstracts hydrogen with very high efficiency. Other aromatic ketones are dimerized with lower quantum yields, and some (e.g., p-aminobenzophenone, o-methylacetophenone) cannot be dimerized at all in 2-propanol (although p-aminobenzophenone, e.g., can be dimerized in cyclohexane ). The reaction has also been carried out electrochemically. 

Unlike thiophene radical cation the SOMO for this species is 2bl with considerable spin density on sulfur. The reversible electrochemical oxidation potentials for 129 and some of its derivatives in l,l,l,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol are listed in Table 8. The reactions of 129 with radicals and with nucleophiles has been studied [275]. The position of attack by radicals on 129 should reflect the spin density at that position as found by EPR spectroscopic analysis. Indeed reaction with N02 occurs predominantly at S, C(2) and C(4) as expected. The valence bond configuration mixing model leads to the prediction that nucleophiles should preferentially attack 129 at C(l) and C(3) with little attack at S, C(2) and C(4). This is partly but not completely validated experimentally. Radi-... 

The TGD identifies four subtypes of UVCB chemicals (1) where the source is biological and the process is a synthesis (2) where the source is a chemical or mineral and the process is a synthesis (3) where the source is biological and the process is refinement and (4) where the source is chemical or mineral and the process is a refinement. One very common and simple example of these parameters is if two very well-defined chemicals react with each other, but the chemical identity of the reaction product is not sufficiently known or is poorly predictable. For example, reaction of the dicarboxylic acid nonanedioic acid with 2-amino-2-methyl-l-propanol, a substance with alcohol and amine functionality, can produce multiple products. The amine can reacts with either acid group or both to form amides, the alcohol can react with either acid group or both to form esters, or a combined ester-acid may form. The preferred EINECS name for registration purposes is nonanedioic acid, reaction products with 2-amino-2-methyl-l-propanol, EC number 294-006-2 CASRN 91672-02-5. 

Interestingly, the kinetic study of esterifications between the same acid (acetic acid) and different alcohol (benzyl alcohol, 2-propanol) in the presence of Dowex 50x8 reveal that the ER model and the LH model is the most suitable predictive model, resp>ectively. These observations seem to indicate that the type of acid and alcohol play an important role in determining the number of sites involved in this heterogeneously catalyzed reaction. 

Predict whether or not the use of 2-propanol as a solvent favors kinetic or thermodynamic control in a reaction of a base with 2-pentanone. 

Solvent Composition. The nature of the solvent is expected to affect the rate of an S].jl reaction because formation of ions occurs in the rate-determining step (Eq. 14.2). Based on your understanding of the principles of solvation, you would predict that more polar solvents would accelerate the rate of the reaction. You will test this hypothesis with experiments that use various mixtures of 2-propanol and water for the solvolysis. 

Refer to Scheme 14.1 and predict the ratio of 2-methyl-2-butanol f -f-amyl isopropyl ether expected if the solvent for the reaction were equimolar in water and 2-propanol and = 5fcj.
