Saturation of bonding

Saturation of Bonding. The experimental facts represented in Eqs. 3.1 and 3.2 are worth further consideration because they raise some more significant questions about bonding. In the reaction of atomic hydrogen, H2 molecules are found, but no molecules with more than two hydrogen atoms are observed. This indicates that there is a definite limit to the ability of atoms to form bonds, that is, there is a saturation of bonding... 

Figure 6 (a) Representatives of the heptaphosphanorbomane (top left) with axial (ax) and equatorial (eq) connectivities (i) indicates intramolecular saturation of bonds in the descriptions below. 

The saturation of the support surface with the reactant was followed by taking samples from the top and bottom parts of the support bed. Figure 1 shows the achievement of surface saturation as a function of reactant dose. Saturation of bonding sites proceeds from the top of the support bed towards the bottom, i.e. in the direction of the reactant flow. 

All bonds between equal atoms are given zero values. Because of their symmetry, methane and ethane molecules are nonpolar. The principle of bond moments thus requires that the CH3 group moment equal one H—C moment. Hence the substitution of any aliphatic H by CH3 does not alter the dipole moment, and all saturated hydrocarbons have zero moments as long as the tetrahedral angles are maintained. 

The magnitude of the induced dipole moment depends on the electric field strength in accord with the relationship = nT, where ]1 is the induced dipole moment, F is the electric field strength, and the constant a is caHed the polarizabHity of the molecule. The polarizabHity is related to the dielectric constant of the substance. Group-contribution methods (2) can be used to estimate the polarizabHity from knowledge of the number of each type of bond within the molecule, eg, the polarizabHity of an unsaturated bond is greater than that of a saturated bond.

The as-spun acrylic fibers must be thermally stabilized in order to preserve the molecular structure generated as the fibers are drawn. This is typically performed in air at temperatures between 200 and 400°C [8]. Control of the heating rate is essential, since the stabilization reactions are highly exothermic. Therefore, the time required to adequately stabilize PAN fibers can be several hours, but will depend on the size of the fibers, as well as on the composition of the oxidizing atmosphere. Their are numerous reactions that occur during this stabilization process, including oxidation, nitrile cyclization, and saturated carbon bond dehydration [7]. A summary of several fimctional groups which appear in stabilized PAN fiber can be seen in Fig. 3. 

Olefins are normally hydrogenated more readily than any other functional group except acetylenes. However, because of steric differences, a considerable variation exists in the ease of saturation of steroidal double bonds. 

Normally, the hydrogenation of a readily hydrogenated double bond occurs over palladium-on-charcoal in ethanol at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The more difficultly reduced olefins require elevated reaction temperatures and/or pressures for the reaction to proceed at a reasonable rate. The saturation of an 8(14)-double bond is virtually impossible under normal hydrogenation conditions. In order to remove unsaturation at this position it is necessary to first isomerize the double bond to the readily hydrogenated 14 position by treatment with dry hydrogen chloride in chloro-form. ° ... 

Over palladium this cleavage occurs in preference to the saturation of a 5,6-double bond. " The use of platinum in acetic acid allows saturation of the A -olefin in (36) without hydrogenolysis of the 22,23-dibromides. 

Epoxides are normally hydrogenated in preference to saturated ketones but double bonds are usually reduced under these conditions. It is possible in some cases to selectively cleave an epoxide without saturating double bonds by the use of the deactivated catalysts recommended for the partial reduction of acetylenes (see section IV) or by the addition of silver nitrate to the palladium-catalyzed reaction mixture.

Enolizalion of conjugated or /3,y-unsatiirated enones and dienones in O-deiiterated solvents facilitates the introduction of deuterium labels into positions as far as three and five carbon atoms away from a given ketone function. Exchange of the activated hydrogens in androst-4-en-3-one (12) provides a good illustration of the potential of this method. Saturation of the double bond (section V) in the deuterated enone (13) followed by back exchange of the a-deuteriums (section II-B) proves to be an excellent method for the preparation of 6,6-d2-5a-androstan-3-one (15). ... 

Isolated tetrasubstituted double bonds do not react under these conditions and the saturation of trisubstituted double bonds is extremely slow, thus limiting the general utility of the method. This difference in reactivity is used to advantage for the selective deuteration of the -double bond in androsta-l,4-diene-3,17-dione (138). In homogeneous solution, saturation usually occurs from the a-side and consequently the deuterium labels are in... 

Another example of selective deuteration in homogeneous solution is saturation of the sterically more accessible A -double bond in ergosterol acetate (142 143). The a-configuration of the incorporated deuteriums... 

Homogeneous catalytic deuteration of various unsaturated 5a-spirostane derivatives is an excellent method for the preparation of side chain labeled analogs. Thus, saturation of the double bonds at positions 20(21), 23 and 24 provided the corresponding deuterated compounds (144), (145) and (146) in high isotopic purity. The preparation of (146) is a rare example of the saturation of an isolated trisubstituted double bond in the steroid field. 

In contrast to heterogeneous metal catalysts, the chlororhodium complex is not sensitive to sulfur poisoning,thus allowing the saturation of double bonds in the presence of mercapto functions. 

Deuterioboration is one of the most important recent additions to the array of methods for saturating double bonds with deuterium. The easy accessibility of metal deuterides (lithium aluminum deuteride or sodium borodeuteride) facilitates the in situ preparation of deuteriodiborane which reacts with steroidal double bonds with a high degree of site and/or stereospecificity, depending on the location of the double bond.
