Solvents supported

The more strongly acidic a solution of nitric acid at a given concentration is in a particular organic solvent, the more readily should that solvent support zeroth-order nitration. The values of for solutions of sulphuric acid in nitromethane, sulpholan, and acetic acid show clearly the superiority of nitromethane in this respect. ...

Quaternary ammonium azides will displace halogens in a synthesis of alkyl azides. Dichloromethane has been used as a solvent, although this can slowly form diazido-methane which may be concentrated by distillation dining work-up, thereafter easily exploding [1]. An accident attributed to this cause is described, and acetonitrile recommended as a preferable solvent, supported polymeric azides, excess of which can be removed by filtration are also preferred in place of the tetrabutylam-monium salt [2]. A similar explosion was previously recorded when the quaternary azide was generated in situ from sodium azide and a phase transfer catalyst in a part aqueous system [3,4],... 

The electrosynthesized (0EP)Ge(CgHs)C10, was characterized in situ by thin-layer spectroelectrochemistry. The final product of electrosynthesis was spectrally compared with the same compounds which were synthesized using chemical and photochemical methods(35). (0EP)Ge(C6H5)Ci and (0EP)Ge(CsHs)0H were also electrochemically generated by the use of specific solvent/supporting electrolyte systems(35). 

Statement number 6 has to do with carbon acids and is supported by reference (7). There are, in fact, other references that suggest solvent plays a much more direct role in the kinetics of protonating carbanions than statement number 6 would imply. For example, there is evidence that nuclear reorganization and rehybridization of the carbon atom are too rapid to have much kinetic importance when compared with solvent reorientation. The strong dependence of carbanion protonation rates on the solvent supports this view. These rates are typically much faster in organic solvents, such as DMSO, than in water. A particular reaction that was studied in different solvents (17) is... 

There are many publications which discuss not only the principles of electrochemistry, but also its practical aspects (electrodes, cells, solvents, supporting electrolytes, and so on).1-8 In addition, all the electrochemical instrumentation manufacturers have catalogues of commercial products which allow proper experiments to be carried out. Therefore, the present discussion will be limited to point out the minimal basic knowledge required to set up an electrochemical experiment.

Both inter- and intramolecular [5 + 2] cycloaddition modes have been utilized in the synthesis of natural products. Successful intermolecular cycloaddition depends on making an appropriate selection of solvent, supporting electrolyte, oxidation potential, and current density. This is nicely illustrated in Schemes 23 to 25. For example, in methanol the controlled potential oxidation of phenol (101) affords a high yield (87%) of (102), the adduct wherein methanol has intercepted the reactive intermediate [51]. In contrast, a constant current electrolysis conducted in acetonitrile rather than methanol, led to an 83% yield of quinone (103). 

In order to find the best reaction conditions for the electrosynthesis of furoxanes, Nyazymbetov et al. [141] have extensively studied all parameters which affect the yield of furoxane such as solvent, supporting electrolyte. 

Absorption studies of the model compound in polar and nonpolar solvents support the finding that the dimer is present in a form which allows for close proximity between the two porphyrin rings. The absorption spectra of the dimer and the monomer are shown in Fig. 9. The spectra in methanol show a significant blue-shift of the Soret peak and a small red-shift in the visible bands for the diporphyrin, consistent with the spectral properties of previously synthesized cofacial diporphyrins(16,17) wherein exciton interactions can take place. ( 18) In methylene chloride, the Soret blue shift appears to be much less (<5 nm with reference to 4). 

Other borate ester chelates containing tetrahedral boron, shown in Fig. 16a, have been prepared as precursors to solvent-supported borate cations (Fig. 16b) that show catalytic activity toward olefin polymerization [54].
