Substituent, influence

Dyes and Pigments. Several thousand metric tons of metallated or metal coordinated phthalocyanine dyes (10) are sold annually in the United States. The partially oxidized metallated phthalocyanine dyes are good conductors and are called molecular metals (see Semiconductors Phthalocyanine compounds Colorants forplastics). Azo dyes (qv) are also often metallated. The basic unit for a 2,2 -azobisphenol dye is shown as stmcture (11). Sulfonic acid groups are used to provide solubiHty, and a wide variety of other substituents influence color and stabiHty. Such complexes have also found appHcations as analytical indicators, pigments (qv), and paint additives. 

The acceptor ability of the cation is increased by electron-attracting substituents. The task was to seperate the substituent influences on the reactivity of the monomer from that on the cation and to find a relationship between these influences and the brutto rate constant of the cationic polymerization 76). 

When one compares the brutto polymerization rate constants, a measure of the reactivity of monomers during cationic homopolymerizations is obtained. It was found for p-substituted styrenes that lg kBr increased parallel to the reactivity, which the monomers show versus a constant acceptor 93). The reactivity graduation of the cationic chain ends is apparently overcomed by the structural influence on the monomers during the entire process of the cationic polymerization. The quantitative treatment of the substituent influences with the assistance of the LFE principle leads to the following Hammett-type equations for the brutto polymerization rate constants ... 

These various effects combine to result in different rate and equilibrium constants for homologous reactions. The substituents influence these parameters in part by displacements of electron density of the first two types and in part by geometric effects of the last type. When some of the possible complications are considered, it is not surprising that there is no generally useful method for correlating the Gyxn terms with satisfactory accuracy. However, there are a number of special cases in which useful correlations can be developed. This is particu-... 

A particularly useful probe of remote-substituent influences is provided by optical rotatory dispersion (ORD),106 the frequency-dependent optical activity of chiral molecules. The quantum-mechanical theory of optical activity, as developed by Rosenfeld,107 establishes that the rotatory strength R0k ol a o —> k spectroscopic transition is proportional to the scalar product of electric dipole (/lei) and magnetic dipole (m,rag) transition amplitudes,... 

There is not much historical background which it is necessary to explore for the amino group in aliphatic systems. The amino group, and substituted amino groups, are of interest as reaction centres rather than as substituents influencing reactivity elsewhere in the molecule cf the situation in aromatic systems, dealt with below. However, one matter which should be mentioned, since it has been known for a long time, is the peculiar behaviour of amino acids. 

NO2 may also feature as a substituent influencing C—H acidity from a more remote site. Thus for ring substitution in the series PhCH(N02)2, the pKa values for the m- and p-nitro compounds are 2.82 and 2.63, respectively, compared with 3.89 for the unsubstituted compound (values in water, 20 °C). The p value for this reaction series is about 1.7, and these results for m- and p-N(>2 appear to indicate that ordinary Hammett 0 values are applicable, whereas o values might have been expected to be more relevant. Presumably this means that the delocalization of the negative charge in the carbanion is dominated by the (N02)2 groups, so that delocalization into the ring plays a minor role. 

Using a somewhat different approach, Bucci (62) interpreted these substituent influences in terms of a combination of electronegativity and the number m of lone electron pairs at the substituent or at that atom which is directly attached to the a-carbon atom, respectively, and derived the empirical expressions [5] and [6] for, 3C chemical shifts referred to tetramethylsilane (8 = 0) ... 

Of all substituent effects, that caused by y-anti substituents has been the hardest to understand in terms of transmission mechanisms, notably because the resulting shifts are sometimes upfield and sometimes downfield. So, for example, y -SCS(OH) values range from about +6 (208) to —6 (209). Correspondingly, the discussion about transmission mechanisms is prone to speculation and controversy. At present it is impossible to arrive at a consistent interpretation of this substituent effect there is no choice but to compile a number of molecular properties that apparently affect the transmission of substituent influences on antiperiplanar carbon atoms. 

A study of substituent influences on reaction of carbonyl compound (102) with trialkylallyltin (103) has established that high yield of allylation product (104) is obtained only when X = NO2 and R = OH (where R = Bu or Me and R = H or Me). The role of the intramolecular hydrogen bond in promoting rate enhancement and regioselective allylation (and reduction by HSnBus) of carbonyl compounds has been discussed. 

The photoactive compounds, or sensitizers, that are used in the formulation of positive photoresists, are substituted diazonaphthoquinones shown in Figure 17. The substituent, shown as R in Figure 17, is generally an aryl sulfonate. The nature of the substituent influences the solubility characteristics of the sensitizer molecule and also influences the absorption characteristics of the chromophor (79). The diazonaphthoquinone sulfonates are soluble in common organic solvents but are insoluble in aqueous base. Upon exposure to light, these substances undergo a series of reactions that culminate in the formation of an indene carboxylic acid as depicted in Figure 17. The photoproduct, unlike its precursor, is extremely soluble in aqueous base by virtue of the carboxylic acid functionality. 

As an example, the propagation steps for the reductive alkylation of alkenes are shown in Scheme 7.1. For an efficient chain process, it is important (i) that the RjSi radical reacts faster with RZ (the precursor of radical R ) than with the alkene, and (ii) that the alkyl radical reacts faster with the alkene (to form the adduct radical) than with the silicon hydride. In other words, the intermediates must be disciplined, a term introduced by D. H. R. Barton to indicate the control of radical reactivity [5]. Therefore, a synthetic plan must include the task of considering kinetic data or substituent influence on the selectivity of radicals. The reader should note that the hydrogen donation step controls the radical sequence and that the concentration of silicon hydride often serves as the variable by which the product distribution can be influenced.

It should be noted that all three are lethal, however, and so the acute toxicity of these compounds is not entirely due to C-40 substituent effects. Potency does follow the oxidation series from alcohol to aldehyde to acid vivo, suggesting that perhaps these substituents influence the degree of accessibility of each lipid-solvent soluble toxin to its membrane site of action. Being that the toxins in their natural forms are so soluble in non-polar solvents, and tend to bind to or solubilize in the lipid components of membrane... 

All substituents influence the resonance in any aromatic system, and they may do this in a number of ways ... 

How can the substituent influence the resonance shown in Figure 7-15 The answer is that if the substituent can create another resonance structure, the sigma complex is further stabilized. This additional stabilization leads to a preference for a certain attack. 

The enantioselectivity in these reductions is proposed to arise from a chairlike transition state in which the governing steric interaction is with the alkyl substituent on boron.99 100 There are data indicating that the steric demand of this substituent influences enantioselectivity.101... 

Monoamine oxidase catalyzes the deamination of primary amines and some secondary amines, with some notable exceptions. Aromatic amines with unsubstituted a-carbon atoms are preferred, but aromatic substituents influence the binding of these substrates. For example, m-iodobenzylamine is a good substrate, whereas the o-iodo analog is an inhibitor. The mechanism of deamination is as follows hydrolysis of the Schiff base that results from loss of a hydride ion on an a-proton yields an aldehyde, which is then normally oxidized to the carboxylic acid. Aromatic substrates are probably preferred because they can form a charge-transfer complex with the FAD at the active site, properly... 

Analysis of the data of Table 1 verifies the same finding that the shift of the near-UV absorption band of singlet arylnitrenes correlates with the shift of the intense near-UV absorption band of triplet nitrenes. Furthermore, the ort/io-substituents influence the absorption spectra of singlet and triplet phenylnitrenes more significantly than do para-substituents. 

Substituent effects on the acidity of pyridinium ions46,47 have been extensively studied in order to learn about the ability of a hetero-aromatic ring to transmit electronic effects and to determine how and to what extent substituents influence the protonation of an annular nitrogen atom. No other series of heteroaromatic compounds has been studied as carefully and as thoroughly as these model compounds. Yet, interpretations are far from being universally accepted. Single-parameter Hammett treatments will be considered before dual-substituent parameter (DSP) approaches. 

While the examples chosen here concern only dissociation of protons, the Hammett equation has a much broader application. Equilibria for other types of reactions can be treated. Furthermore, since rates of reactions are related to Gibbs energies of activation, many rate constants can be correlated. For these purposes the Hammett equation can be written in the more general form in which k may be either an equilibrium constant or a rate constant.13 The subscript / denotes the reaction under consideration and i the substituent influencing the reaction. 

The outcome of the reaction is affected by hydrosilane, CO pressure, and choice of catalyst. The hydrosilane substituents influence the selectivity of the reaction, i.e., relative ratio of silylformylation to hydrosilylation. For example, silanes with phenyl substituents, such as Me2PhSiH, Ph2MeSiH, and Ph3SiH, lead exclusively to silylformylation products, but at least 80% of the product derived from trimethoxysilane is due to hydrosilylation. Trialkylsilanes generally give 40 60 mixtures of hydrosilylation and silylformylation products. The carbon monoxide pressure under which the reaction... 

Generally, substituents located on saturated groups attached to nitrogen influence base strengths through their inductive effects in the same way that these substituents influence the strengths of carboxylic acids (see Section 18-2).
