Trityl analysis

To verify such a steric effect a quantitative structure-property relationship study (QSPR) on a series of distinct solute-selector pairs, namely various DNB-amino acid/quinine carbamate CSPpairs with different carbamate residues (Rso) and distinct amino acid residues (Rsa), has been set up [59], To provide a quantitative measure of the effect of the steric bulkiness on the separation factors within this solute-selector series, a-values were correlated by multiple linear and nonlinear regression analysis with the Taft s steric parameter Es that represents a quantitative estimation of the steric bulkiness of a substituent (Note s,sa indicates the independent variable describing the bulkiness of the amino acid residue and i s.so that of the carbamate residue). For example, the steric bulkiness increases in the order methyl < ethyl < n-propyl < n-butyl < i-propyl < cyclohexyl < -butyl < iec.-butyl < t-butyl < 1-adamantyl < phenyl < trityl and simultaneously, the s drops from -1.24 to -6.03. In other words, the smaller the Es, the more bulky is the substituent. The obtained QSPR equation reads as follows ... 

Quinn et al. followed the reaction of a nucleoside with trityl chloride in pyridine at 50 °C on the laboratory scale. This reaction is the first step of an industrially significant process. The UV-vis spectra were analyzed with chemometric analysis where automatic window factor analysis (WFA) yielded better results than PLS. A reactive intermediate, a solvated carbocation, was identified that had not been found with HPLC (quenching upon aliquot dilution) or NIR, respectively. Small, sudden process upsets could be detected. 

The very high diastereofacial differentiation in the dialkylation of 2 to 7 can be attributed to a unique conformation of 2 and its enolate 8. There is NMR evidence of 2, X-ray crystallographic analysis of (Z)-9 and molecular mechanics calculations on 2, all of which suggest that the trityl group is on the a-face of the enolate, as shown in 8, resulting in attack of the electrophile on the /3-face30. 

The reaction of thiobenzamide and sulfur dichloride is reported to give 3-methyl-4-phenyl-l,2-dithiazetinium chloride (Scheme 137). This salt forms a trityl cation with triphenylmethane, establishing its highly electrophilic nature. However, the analysis is poor (>1.3% off for Cl, N and S) and no other structural proof is provided (70JOU394). 

The method was used in studies of a fungal heterogalactan.150 The polysaccharide was subjected to successive tritylation, methylation, detritylation, p-toluenesulfonylation, reaction with sodium iodide, and, finally, reaction with sodium p-toluenesulfinate. The product was then treated with sodium methylsulfinyl carbanion in dimethyl sulfoxide, the product remethylated, and the polysaccharide material recovered by gel chromatography. The polymer was hydrolyzed, and the sugars in the hydrolyzate were analyzed, as the alditol acetates, by g.l.c.-m.s.1 The analysis revealed that —60% of the hexose residues that were unsubstituted at C-6 had been eliminated. As the product was still polymeric, it was concluded that these residues had constituted a part of side chains linked to a main chain of (1 — 6)-linked D-galactose residues. 

Fig, 16. 50.1-MHz 13C MAS spectra of benzaldehyde-a-13C and benzene reacting on zeolite HY. The spectrum acquired at 120 K after the sample was heated at 448 K clearly shows an isotropic chemical shift at 207 ppm, consistent with the chemical shift of the trityl cation. Furthermore, the Herzfeld-Berger analysis of the sideband intensities reveals an axially symmetric tensor, thus providing unambiguous evidence for the trityl cation 16. 

Other Acylglycerols. If some of the DGs in freshly drawn milk are involved in biosynthesis, it is possible that they are enantiomeric and are probably the sn-1,2 isomer. If so, the constituent fatty acids are long chain. Their configuration can be determined by stereospecific or other analyses, but it is difficult to accumulate enough material for analysis. Nevertheless, Lok (1979) isolated the DGs from freshly extracted cream as the trityl derivatives. Trityl chloride reacts selectively with primary hydroxyls. The stereochemical configuration of the DGs was identified as sn-1,2 therefore, these residual DGs were most likely intermediates of biosynthesis. If the DGs were products of lipol-ysis, they would be a mixture of 1,2/2,3 isomers in a ratio of about 1 2, since milk lipoprotein lipase preferentially attacks the sn-1 position of TGs (Jensen et al. 1983). 

The interpretation of reactivities here provides a particular challenge, because differences in solvation and bond energies contribute differently to reaction rates and equilibria. Analysis in terms of the Marcus equation, in which effects on reactivity arising from changes in intrinsic barrier and equilibrium constant can be separated, is an undoubted advantage. Only rather recently, however, have equilibrium constants, essential to a Marcus analysis, become available for reactions of halide ions with relatively stable carbocations, such as the trityl cation, the bis-trifluoromethyl quinone methide (49), and the rather less stable benzhydryl cations.19,219... 

Trityl Cation Assay.22 DMT-functionalized resin (10-20 mg) was weighed into a 10-ml volumetric flask. Trichloroacetic acid (3% solution = 1.50 g TCA in 50 ml dichloromethane) in CH2C12 was added and a 200- to 300-pl aliquot was transferred to another 10-ml volumetric flask and diluted with 3% TCA/ CH2C12. Analysis was done by UV-VIS absorption at 504 nm (A504). Loading calculation ... 

The heating in dodecane of 2-trityl-5-substituted tetrazoles 199 led to an unexpected result. Thermal decomposition of the tetrazoles 199 in nonpolar solvent is accompanied by a secondary process a possible mechanism has been suggested <2002RJ01360>. It was established by X-ray diffraction analysis that the process results in formation in good yield of 1-substituted 8,8-diphenylheptafulvenes 200, which lack any nitrogen atoms in their structure (Equation 20) <2002RJ01360>. 

Similar nucleophic addition is observed with the analogous osmium complex 147 (Scheme 21). X-Ray structural analysis of 247 (R = n-C4H9) shows that the n-butyl group occupies the exo position (152). Complexes of type 247 react smoothly with trityl cation in acetone to give the arene... 

This kind of conformational dependence has been observed for many polyaryl systems. However, no explicit consideration has been given to its implications for the interpretation of correlations even in a qualitative manner. For this type of analysis, the trityl ion series [3C ] involves less than a sufficient number of substituents. Although the benzhydryl solvolysis series has sufficient substituent sets, the change in rotation appears too small to estimate the effect quantitatively. In practice, the solvolyses of a-trifluoromethyl-diarylmethyl tosylates [29C (X,Y)J best illustrate this analysis. 

Colored reagents to follow the appearance or the disappearance of a functional group have been widely used to monitor reactions in classical organic chemistry, particularly in TLC analysis. This technique has been successfully adapted to SPS for example, ninhydrin (118), bromophenol blue (119), nitrophenyl isothiocyanate-O-trityl (120), picric acid (121), and malachite green isothiocyanate (122) have all been used to show the presence or the absence of free resin-bound amines. The presence of free resin-bound thiol groups can also be detected (123). 

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.

After tritylation it is very hard to crystallize the species because of their hydrophobic protecting group. Therefore successful crystallization was done with 7, which does not contain the trityl group but has two chiral centres. The separation of the two diastereomers by crystallization should be expected after x-ray structure analysis. The detected crystal contains S-configurated sulphur only, whereas the chiral carbon appears in both configurations. Other crystals should contain the RS- and RR-isomers. 

Rooney has recently revived work on this monomer in an investigation of its polymerisation by trityl hexafluoroantimonate - He used a spectroscopic stop-flow apparatus to follow initiation and an adiabatic calorimeter to measure rates of polymerisation. Propagation was shown to compete effectively with initiation to the point that some initiator was often present at the end of the polymerisations. These observations cast some doubts on the assumption made in the paper by the Liverpool school discussed above. A kinetic analysis of the initiation reaction showed it to be bimolecular, with a rate constant of about 130 sec at 20°C. The determination of the propagation rate constant was less strai tforward despite the fact that further monomer-addition experiments seemed to rule out any appreciable termination. The kp values fluctuated considerably as the initial catalyst concentration was varied, a fact which induced Rooney to propose that the empirical constant was a composite function of kp and kp. Experiments with a common-anion salt supported this proposal and their kinetic treatment led to the individual values of kp = 6 x 10 sec and kp = 5 x 10 sec. It is difficult to assess the reliability of these values in view of the following statement by the author the reaction at a 5 x 10 M concentration of initiator, thought to proceed exclusively through paired ions. .. . This statement is certainly incorrect as far as the initiator is concerned for which the proportion of ion pairs for a concentration 5 x 10 M at 20°C is only about 20% in methylene chloride However, the experiments... 

We feel that the experimental evidence gathered in this study is insufficient to justify the detailed and all-embracing mechanistic interpretation proposed by the author. Thus, for example, no serious attempt was made to detect the possible presence of trityl groups in the polymers, i.e., no proof was obtained concerning the proposed chemistry of initiation. The existence of termination reactions was invoked, but not demonstrated. Finally, the second-order behaviour of the polymerisations rested on diaky grounds given the inadequate kinetic analysis of the experimental data.
