Solvents, acidic reactive

Some recent general reviews deal with the mechanism of N-nitrosation in aqueous solution (345), the nitrosation of secondary amines (346). the effect of solvent acidity On diazotization (347) and the reactivity of diazonium salts (1691). Therefore, a complete rationalization of the reactivity of amino azaaromatics would be timelv. 

Heat-reactive resins are more compatible than oil-soluble resins with other polar-coating resins, such as amino, epoxy, and poly(vinyl butyral). They are used in interior-can and dmm linings, metal primers, and pipe coatings. The coatings have excellent resistance to solvents, acids, and salts. They can be used over a wide range of temperatures, up to 370°C for short periods of dry heat, and continuously at 150°C. Strong alkaUes should be avoided. 

Chemical methods to determine the crystalline content in silica have been reviewed (6). These are based on the solubility of amorphous silica in a variety of solvents, acids or bases, with respect to relatively inert crystalline silica, and include differences in reactivity in high temperature fusions with strong bases. These methods ate qualitative, however, and fail to satisfy regulatory requirements to determine crystallinity at 0.1% concentration in bulk materials. 

Of the factors associated with the high reactivity of cyanuric chloride (high exother-micity, rapid hydrolysis in presence of water-containing solvents, acid catalysed reactions, liberation of up to 3 mol hydrogen chloride/mol of chloride, formation of methyl chloride gas with methanol, formation of carbon dioxide from bicarbonates), several were involved in many of the incidents recorded [1] (and given below). The acid catalysed self acceleration and high exothermicity are rated highest [2]. It is also a mildly endothermic compound (AH°f (s) +91.6 kJ/mol, 0.49 kJ/g). 

Remove the guard column before washing the analytical column, so that impurities from the guard column are not washed into the analytical column. Bare silica and cyano- and diol-bonded phases are washed (in order) with heptane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, acetone, ethanol, and water. Then the order is reversed, using dried solvents, to reactivate the column. Use 10 empty column volumes of each solvent. Amino-bonded phases are washed in the same manner as silica, but a 0.5 M ammonia wash is used after water. C18 and other nonpolar phases are washed with water, acetonitrile, and chloroform, and then the order is reversed. If this is insufficient, wash with 0.5 M sulfuric acid, and then water. 

On the basis of these considerations it has been concluded that under given reaction conditions (Lewis acid/solvent) the reactivity maximum is found for an alkylating system (RA7R+) that is approximately half-ionized [60,61]. Scheme 11 suggests that the electrophilic reactivity of RA" increases with increasing stabilization of R+ if only small equilibrium concentrations of carbocations are involved. In accord with this analysis, the relative alkylating abilities of alkyl chlorides have been found to be proportional to their ethanolysis rates (Fig. 2) [62]. The only compound that deviates from this correlation is trityl chloride which alkylates considerably more slowly than expected from its solvolysis rate. 

From the dependence of die measured coupling rate (k,) of acetylactone on the solvent acidity (HjO, MeOH, MCjSO, DMF and HjCCN) it was also found that in all these solvents it is the carbanion which is the most reactive species... 

The mechanism also accounts for Kaplan and Cruickshank s assignment of a pKa of 6.8 to His-57 (30). As N-1 of His-57 is shielded from solvent, the reactive species for the reaction with l-fluoro-2,4-dinitro-benzene can be expected to be (b), with an accessible lone pair of electrons at N-3. The pKa which is measured in this procedure is the pKa of the reaction which determines the relative proportions of (a) and (b). In this curious situation, data on the formation of DNP-histidine can measure the pKa of an ionization of aspartic acid. 

Inert solvents, with neither acidic nor basic properties, allow a wider range of acid-base behavior. For example, hydrocarbon solvents do not limit acid or base strength because they do not form solvent acid or base species. In such solvents, the acid or base strengths of the solutes determine the reactivity and there is no leveling effect. Balancing the possible acid-base effects of a solvent with requirements for solubility, safety, and availability is one of the challenges for experimental chemists. 

The chemistry of sulfones is dominated by the reactions of sulfonyl carbanions. The sulfone group has a unique ability to facilitate deprotonation of attached alkyl, alkenyl and aryl groups and will permit multiple deprotonation to yield polyanions. These properties, combined with the relative intertness of the sulfone (S02) group to nucleophilic attack, have made the S02 group the first choice for stabilisation of carbanions and account for the extensive application of sulfones in synthesis. Sulfonyl carbanions can be generated and reacted under a wide variety of conditions extending from aqueous phase transfer reactions using sodium hydroxide as base to the use of alkyllithiums in polar aprotic solvents. The reactivity of sulfonyl carbanions depends on the nature of the metal counterion (Li+, Na+, K+ and Mg2+ are the most important ones) and the presence of additives, e.g. TMEDA, HMPA and Lewis acids. 

Preparation of acid chlorides. The thionyl chloride method of preparing acid chlorides fails with some carboxylic acids (e.g., p-NOjCsHaCOzH) and with all sulfonic acids. Bosshard and co-workers" found that dimethylformamide catalyzes both reactions, either when used as solvent or when employed in catalytic amount in an inert solvent. The reactive, hygroscopic intermediate dimethylformirainium chloride was isolated from one equivalent each of dimethylformamide and thionyl chloride, and also obtained by reaction of dimethylformamide with phosgene, oxalyl chloride, or phosphorus pentachloride. It reacts with an acid with regeneration of dimethylformamide, the catalyst. In one example, 0.3 mole of p-nitrobenzoic acid was heated briefly at 90-95° with 0.315 mole of thionyl chloride and 0.03 mole... 

The reaction pathway can lead either to the expected Diels-Alder cycloadducts A or the monoadduct B or bisadduct C resulting from a Michael-type addition (Scheme 10.22), In the case of catalysis, with the exception of LPDE and Znl2, the acidic character of Yb(OTf)3 or BiCh diverts the reaction along both pathways or favors the exlusive formation of Michael-type products. Such chemical behavior is not uncommon in catalyzed furan reactions [106]. At variance with this is the uncatalyzed high pressure cycloaddition and the reaction carried out in solvophobic media at atmospheric pressure which are particularly selective and afford the Diels-Alder cycloadduct A in nearly similar yields. Interestingly, the reaction also proceeds chemoselectively in water-like solvents at ambient pressure but not in hydrocarbon solvents and methanol. In water-like solvents the reactivity cannot be ascribed to polarity effects only, since methanol and glycol have similar values. Solvophobic interactions are very probably mostly responsible for the enhanced reactivity. This is supported by the similar values of the endoiexo ratio.

In aprotic solvents. The mechanism of protonation is basically the same as that discussed above. The second order term observed by Bronsted (1928, see above) is due to an equilibrium of the acid catalyst forming dimeric aggregates. Therefore, fastest rates are measured in dipolar aprotic solvents, e.g., dimethyl sulfoxide (Blues et al., 1974). All these kinetic measurements verify a prediction made by Staudinger and Gaule at a very early date (1916), namely, that with acetic acid or trichloroacetic acid in inert solvents the reactivity of substituted diazoalkanes and a-diazo-carbonyl and a,a -dicarbonyl diazo compounds increases as the protonation equilibrium is shifted towards the corresponding alkanediazo-nium ion. This prediction includes the compounds listed in sequence 4-23 ...
