Solvent effect substrate mixtures

Partitioning between water and water-immiscible organic solvents is thus a straightforward way to get quantitative data for predicting solvent effects on the conversion of a certain substrate. However, the method is not applicable to water-miscible solvents. An alternative way to quantify solvation is to carry out theoretical calculation of interactions between the various components in the reaction mixture.

During the last two decades, our group has smdied solvent effects on the process development in different molecular solvents (aprotic and protic, polar and non-polar) or in their binary mixtures, correlating the kinetic data of this reaction with empirical solvent parameters (E, n, a and 3) through Linear Free Energy Relationship s - LFER s - simple and multiparametric equations. The principal S Ar reactions studied comprise l-halo-2,4-dinitrobenzene or l-halo-2,6-dinitrobenzene as substrates and primary and secondary amines as nucleophiles. For the 1-fluoro-dinitrobenzenes derivatives, the reaction can exhibit base catalysis, which is normally solvent dependent. In general, solvent effects were related to reaction rates, mechanisms and catalysis. These studies were extented employing ILs as reaction media. 

A mechanistic model involving nucleophilic assistance, but not taking into account the variable electrophilic assistance in different solvents, has been proposed (54, 55) for the solvolysis of tert-butyl halides. The analysis was based on a comparison of solvent effects on the solvolysis rates of tert-butyl and adamantyl substrates. The solvent properties were analyzed in terms of parameters N and Y the electrophilic assistance was incorporated into Y (54, 56). Such an approximation had been acceptable in the original wor4c (14-16), which dealt mostly with aqueous alcohols as solvents. This approximation is no longer permissible when materials like TFA and fluori-nated alcohols are used as solvents. In fact, Fainberg and Winstein (56) pointed out that different solvent mixtures could not be placed on the same correlation line. 

This selectivity is subject to a strong solvent effect, and is probably determined by the polarity and solubihty of the substrates. The least soluble thiol usually adsorbs preferentially. Thus, in a mixture of an alkanethiol and an from ethanol solution. Adsorption from acetonitrile, on the other hand, does not show any preference, and adsorption from isooctane results in the preferential adsorption of a hydroxythiol . The preference of long-chain thiols over the short-chain ones and compounds with bulky substituents also depends on the solvent, being much less pronounced in non-polar solvents. Adsorption of octadecanethiol is preferred over adsorption of r-butylthiol in isooctane solution by a factor of only 40-100 (the corresponding ratio in ethanol is 290-710, vide supra), and by just a factor of 3-4 over adsorption of straight-chain butanethiol (compared with a 20-30 ratio for C22 vs C12 preference in ethanol, vide suprd). ... 

Two of the papers presented at the Fifth International Conference on Non-aqueous Solvents are of direct relevance to this Report. They deal with solvent effects on kinetics, in the areas of ligand substitution reactions at labile centres, and of preferential solvation in such systems." Another review on preferential solvation and its consequences deals primarily with chromium(iii) complexes, such as the [Cr(NCS)6] anion, in binary aqueous mixtures, but also mentions other groups of inorganic substrates such as low-spin iron(ii) complexes. A short article on the effectiveness of a solvent in catalysis considers such topics as affinities for nf-electrons and polarization potentials. ... 

The color and effect produced by NGR stains and any stain mixture depend on several factors other than the colors or type of dyes used. Those factors include strength of the mixture, the amount appHed, the type of substrate, and the solvent system used for the stain. The role of the wood stain is not to provide protection rather, the primary function of the stain is to impart color effects by accentuating grain patterns. The transparency and brightness needed to enhance the natural beauty of the wood are optimized by using dye-type stains for wood. 

With Freon 112 or 113 as a solvent, fluonnation of pnmary butyl halides with bromine trifluonde can give mixtures of primary and secondary fluorides When 1,4 dibromobutane is the substrate, 93% l-bromo-4-fluorobutane and 1% 1-bro-mo-3-fluorobutane is obtained, with 1,4 dichlorobutane, the product contains 65% l-chloro-3-fluorobutane and 35% 1-chloro 4 fluorobutane When 4-bromo- or 4-chlorobutyl trifluoroacetate is used, the ratio of 4-fluorobutyl tnfluoroacetate to 3 fluorobutyl trifluoroacetate is 1 4 The effect of solvent is measured in another set of experiments When the reaction of bromine trifluonde and l,3-dichloro-2-fluoropropane in either Freon 113 or hydrogen fluoride is allowed to proceed to 40% conversion, the product mixture has the composition shown m Table 1 [/O] When 1 chloro 2,3-dibromopropane is combined with one-third of a mole of bromine trifluonde, both 1 bromo 3 chloro-2-fluoropropane and l-chloro-2,3-di-fluoropropane are formed [//] (equation 10)...
