Protonated base

In this section three main aspects will be considered. Firstly, the basic strengths of the principal heterocyclic systems under review and the effects of structural modification on this parameter will be discussed. For reference some pK values are collected in Table 3. Secondly, the position of protonation in these carbon-protonating systems will be considered. Thirdly, the reactivity aspects of protonation are mentioned. Protonation yields in most cases highly reactive electrophilic species. Under conditions in which both protonated and non-protonated base co-exist, polymerization frequently occurs. Further ipso protonation of substituted derivatives may induce rearrangement, and also the protonated heterocycles are found to be subject to ring-opening attack by nucleophilic reagents. 

This process is referred to as internal return, i.e., the base returns the proton to the carbanion faster than exchange of the protonated base with other solvent molecules occurs. If internal return is important under a given set of conditions, how would the correlation between kinetics of exchange and equilibrium acidity be affected How could the occurrence of internal return be detected experimentally ... 

Most organic compounds are bases, that is, they are capable of accepting a proton. The best-studied organic bases are the moderately strong ones, which will receive a proton in dilute aqueous solutions amines are the most important examples. The pKa value of the protonated base, referred to the infinitely dilute aqueous solution, is the usual measure of base strength, and the pH of the solution is a quantitative measure of solvent acidity, or ability to transfer a proton.

Dissolution occurring to belong to protonation involves the processes highlighted out in Table 5.2. The dissolution of calcium carbonate in acids, the decomposition of calcium fluoride by concentrated sulfuric acid, the dissolution of ferrous sulfide in hydrochloric acid are some of the examples that can be pointed out as protonation-based dissolution.

Both 13C- and H NMR experiments using 2D NMR techniques established that 20 had a cis-eudesmane ring juncture. This was based on a 12% nOe effect between the C-10 methyl and H-5 proton. Based on this and other evidence, the relative stereochemistry as shown in 20 [6a-isocyano-5a-H, 7a-H, 10a-eudesm-4(14)ene] and its analogs (21-22) was proposed [40]. 

Reasonably reliable pATbh+ values for the protonation of weak bases or of weakly basic substrates can be obtained via equation (17), together with m slope parameters that can be used to classify basic molecules as to type, and for an estimate of the solvation requirements of the protonated base. Measurements at temperatures other than 25°C can be handled using equation (22), and enthalpies and entropies for the protonation can be obtained. Protonation-dehydration processes are covered by equation (26). Medium effects on the...

Complexes between amines and phenols in apolar solvents56 were extensively investigated by several techniques. The equilibrium between molecular complexes and ions was recently investigated57 by 1H NMR techniques for the complexes between phenols and /V./V-dirncthylaniline. The constant of the proton transfer equilibrium (K of equilibrium 7) increases on increasing ApKa (= pKa of protonated base —pKa of phenol) in water, and when the solutions are cooled.

A common simplification arises when the bimolecular step in (1.153) equilibrates rapidly compared with the unimolecular step (it may, for example, be a proton-base reaction). This means that the change in concentrations of A, B, and C due to the first process in (1.153) will have occurred before D even starts to change. The relaxation time t, associated with it will therefore be the same as if it were a separated equilibrium ...
