Synchronous catalysis

There is an intermediate mechanism between these extremes. This is a general acid catalysis in which the proton transfer and the C—O bond rupture occur as a concerted process. The concerted process need not be perfectly synchronous that is, proton transfer might be more complete at the transition state than C—O rupture, or vice versa. These ideas are represented in a three-dimensional energy diagram in Fig. 8.1. [Pg.454]

Manecke et al.16s synthesized a semiconducting polymeric complex which possessed both bis(ethylene-l,2-dithiolato)Cu(II) and a phthalocyanine-Cu(II)-type structure 54. This Cu complex exhibited high catalytic activity in the oxidative polymerization of XOH, about 50 times higher than that of pyridine-Cu. A synchronous four-electron-transfer mechanism was proposed for the catalysis of 54. The phthalo-cyanine-Cu(II) type structure of 54 is presumed to form a complex with molecular... [Pg.80]

The E2 mechanism is so called because the process is bimolecular and in solution consists of an attack by a base on the 3-hydrogen atom with synchronous splitting of the substituent X in the form of an anion. In heterogeneous catalysis, the most important feature is the timing of the fission of the two bonds Ca—X and C —H in the E2 or E2-like mechanism, these bonds are broken simultaneously. Because this can be achieved only by the action of two different centres, a basic one and an acidic one with both present on the surface, the kinetic distinction of the mechanism loses its original sense under these circumstances. [Pg.275]

A third possible type of catalysis requires that a base and an acid act synchronously to effect the breaking and formation of bonds in a single step. Thus, tetramethyl-glucose mutarotates very slowly in benzene containing either pyridine (a base) or phenol (an acid). However, when both pyridine and phenol are present, mutarota-tion is rapid. This suggested to Swain and Brown132 a concerted mechanism (Eq. 9-92) in which both an acid and a base participate. [Pg.490]

The nomenclature used in describing bimolecular electrophilic substitutions involving cyclic transition states reflects, in part, the above-mentioned difficulty. Ingold3 has adopted the nomenclature of Winstein et al.1 and refers to such substitutions as SEi, but to the present author this is not a particularly appropriate choice since it does not indicate the bimolecular nature of the substitution. Dessy et al.8 have used the term SF2 to describe a mechanism, such as that in reaction (5), in which a four-centred transition state is formed, but not only is such a term too restricted, it also provides no indication that the mechanism is one of electrophilic substitution. The view of Reutov4 is that the cyclic, synchronous mechanism is very close to the open mechanism and that both can be described as SE2 mechanisms. Dessy and Paulik9 used the term nucleophilic assisted mechanisms to describe these cyclic, synchronous mechanisms and Reutov4,10 has recently referred to them in terms of internal nucleophilic catalysis , internal nucleophilic assistance , and nucleophilic promotion . Abraham, et al,6 have attempted to reconcile these various descriptions and have denoted such mechanisms as SE2(cyclic). [Pg.28]

Biomimetic chemistry is a new stage in the development of chemical ideas. In this book, new information on coherent synchronization of chemical and biochemical reactions is developed in the application of achievements of mimetic catalysis. [Pg.337]

It is therefore appropriate to give an updated and extensive review on oscillations in heterogeneous catalysis. This work will focus mainly on the mechanisms that explain oscillations, considering both experimental support for these mechanisms as well as the mathematical models that describe them. The last section will consider work on spatial patterns and synchronization. [Pg.53]

Chaotic behavior and synchronization in heterogeneous catalysis are closely related. Partial synchronization can lead to a complex time series, generated by superposition of several periodic oscillators, and can in some cases result in deterministically chaotic behavior. In addition to the fact that macroscopically observable oscillations exist (which demonstrates that synchronization occurs in these systems), a number of experiments show the influence of a synchronizing force on all the hierarchical levels mentioned earlier. Sheintuch (294) analyzed on a general level the problem of communication between two cells. He concluded that if the gas-phase concentration is the autocatalytic variable, then synchronization is attained in all cases. However, if the gas-phase concentration were the nonautocatalytic variable, then this would lead to symmetry breaking and the formation of spatial structures. When surface variables are the model variables, the existence of synchrony is dependent upon the size scale. Only two-variable models were analyzed, and no such strict analysis has been provided for models with two or more surface concentrations, mass balances, or heat balances. There are, however, several studies that focused on a certain system and a certain synchronization mechanism. [Pg.111]

In the calculated transition state, the proton is largely transferred to the endocyclic oxygen, the endocyclic C-O bond has started to break, but the hydroxyl proton is not transferred to the catalyst, i.e. the reaction is concerted but not synchronous.

Most of the quantitative work in this area has been done with putative models for lysozyme action. Thus, synchronous acetamido group participation and intramolecular general acid catalysis was held to be responsible for the modest rate enhancement of compound LXI compared with the p-nitrophenyl compound or salicyl glucoside... [Pg.419]

There is some evidence that in the hydrolysis of compound LXV the two carboxylate groups act in a synchronous fashion. A bell-shaped pH-rate profile is observed, and even though at the maximum the rate is only 4X10 times faster than the diethyl ester, the compound with only one carboxyl group (LXVI) shows no evidence of intramolecular carboxyl participation intramolecular general acid catalysis only appears when the cationic centre has extra stabilisation [148]. [Pg.419]

This kind of catalysis is usually refered to as acid-base concerted (synchronous, or push-pull) bifunctional catalysis, which for brevity is expres.sed as acid-base bifunctional catalysis in some articles. [Pg.105]

In order to account for the observation that the rate constants for the base hydrolysis of ds-[Co(cyclen)X2] depend on the nature of the leaving group kon for X = Br is about 10A oh for X = Cl) even though the observation of general base catalysis indicated rate limiting deprotonation, has suggested a synchronous deprotonation dissociation process (Scheme 4). [Pg.318]

The impact of nucleophilic and electrophilic groups of the active center on the substrate at the contact area in the enzyme-substrate complex (the effect of synchronous intramolecular catalysis). The polyfunctional catalysis involves a great many processes push-pull mechanisms, processes involving a relay charge transfer, as well as a general acid-base catalysis. Presumably, the enzyme in the initial state of the enzymatic reaction already contains structural elements of the transition state and in this case the reaction must be thermodynamically more advantageous. [Pg.236]
