Trends for reactions

The equilibrium conversion can be calculated from knowledge of the free energy, together with physical properties to account for vapor and liquid-phase nonidealities. The equilibrium conversion can be changed by appropriate changes to the reactor temperature, pressure and concentration. The general trends for reaction equilibrium are summarized in Figure 6.8. 

Compensation parameters calculated from data reported by Winter for the decomposition of nitrous oxide (263) and nitric oxide (264) on various oxides are given in Table V, B and C, respectively. The variation of data in the latter reaction is relatively small (aL = 0.795, Table V, C) and the values of B and e can be reliably determined. Interpretation of the results for nitrous oxide decomposition is, however, less straightforward since the compensation trend for reactions on the rare earth sesquioxides (B = 19.831 and e = 0.0571) was significantly different from that for all other oxides studied (B = 23.226 and e = 0.0321) and the combined data give the intermediate values of Table V, B. Thus, we are unable to discriminate between the possibilities that either there are two distinct lines or the number of points available is insufficient to characterize fully the compensation effect at the observed level of standard deviation.

The transition-state structure of the hetero-Diels-Alder reaction is generally found to be unsymmetrical. Houk et al. have for the reaction of formaldehyde with 1,3-butadiene calculated the C-C and C-0 bond lengths to be 2.133 A and 1.998 A, respectively, in the transition state using ab-initio calculations shown in Fig. 8.12 [25 bj. The reaction of formaldimine follows the same trend for the transition-state structure. 

The inhibition analyses were examined differently for free lipase in a batch and immobilised lipase in membrane reactor system. Figure 5.14 shows the kinetics plot for substrate inhibition of the free lipase in the batch system, where [5] is the concentration of (S)-ibuprofen ester in isooctane, and v0 is the initial reaction rate for (S)-ester conversion. The data for immobilised lipase are shown in Figure 5.15 that is, the kinetics plot for substrate inhibition for immobilised lipase in the EMR system. The Hanes-Woolf plots in both systems show similar trends for substrate inhibition. The graphical presentation of rate curves for immobilised lipase shows higher values compared with free enzymes. The value for the... 

Minato ct a/.1(12 proposed that the transition state for disproportionation has polar character while that for combination is neutral. The finding that polar solvents enhance kJkK for ethyl170 and /-butyl radicals (Section 2.5.3.5), the very high kjktc seen for alkoxy radicals with a-hydrogens,171 and the trend in kJkK observed for reactions of a scries of fluoroalkyl radicals (Scheme 1.13, Table 1.7) have been explained in these terms.141102... 

In SnI reactions, the stability of the carbocation is the paramount issue. Recall that alkyl groups are electron donating. Therefore, 3° is best because the three alkyl groups stabilize the carbocation. 1° is the worst because there is only one alkyl group to stabilize the carbocation. This has nothing to do with sterics this is an argument of electronics (stability of charge). So we have two opposite trends, for completely different reasons ... 

Bis(imino)pyridine iron complex 5 acts as a catalyst not only for hydrogenation (see 2.1) but also for hydrosilylation of multiple bonds [27]. The results are summarized in Table 10. The reaction rate for hydrosilylations is slower than that for the corresponding hydrogenation however, the trend of reaction rates is similar in each reaction. In case of tra s-2-hexene, the terminal addition product hexyl (phenyl)silane was obtained predominantly. This result clearly shows that an isomerization reaction takes place and the subsequent hydrosilylation reaction dehvers the corresponding product. Reaction of 1-hexene with H2SiPh2 also produced the hydrosilylated product in this system (eq. 1 in Scheme 18). However, the reaction rate for H2SiPh2 was slower than that for H3SiPh. In addition, reaction of diphenylacetylene as an atkyne with phenylsilane afforded the monoaddition product due to steric repulsion (eq. 2 in Scheme 18).
