THE USE OF TRIAZENES AS VINYL CATION PRECURSORS I. INTRODUCTION Within the past ten years several groups of investigators have studied reactions in which vinyl cations have been postulated as inter mediates. The methods of access to vinyl cation intermediates can be conveniently divided into two general categories. In the first method the vinyl cation is produced by the hydration of a triple bond. For example, Peterson (l) has postulated a vinyl cation in the reaction of 1 -hexyne with trif luoroacetic acid, and in trif luoroacetolysis of 6-heptyn-2-yl p-toluenesulfonate (2) (Scheme A) © © G O2CCF3 0 CCF ^ 2 3 NaOnCCF., •0 CCF 2 ; ho ccf (Scheme A) •OTs 2 3 Ws Noyce (3) has gathered product and kinetic evidence for the existence of a vinyl cation in the acid hydration of phenyl propiolic acids and phenyl acetylenes (Scheme B) © © ArC=CC02H+ H O > ArC = CHCO^H © 3 ArC=CHC0 H + H 0 -> 2 2 ArC =CHCOzH ©oh -H® 2 ArC = CHC02H ArC = CHCOoFl ©OH 2 6h ArC =CHC0 - oH ArC CHJSCL-iH2 OH 6 r (Scheme B) 1 . ' . 2 Richey (4) has presented spectral evidence far the existence of an unusual vinyl cation intermediate in a study of alkynyl cations (Scheme C) ?H © Ar-C —C=CCH Ar-C CSCCHo Ar Ar © © Ar-C — C = CCH < > Ar-^ =C=CCH J Ar At Ar-C — C —?CH„ H 90 Ar-C = CH-C-CHg (Scheme C) In the second general method the vinyl cation is produced by the loss of a vinylic halide ion or by the loss of elemental nitrogen from a vinyl diazonium ion. For example, Grob (5,6) has gathered evidence for the existence of a vinyl cation intermediate In the solvolytic decarboxylation of °c, r3 -unsaturated p-halo acids and the solvolysis of bromo styrenes (Scheme D) H H / -co2 c =c R-C: > RC=CH COr © CO, © ‘ © h o -co 2 2 > > R-£-CH 0 © /H HO :c=c r-c^c R CH R s \ n , "6' 2 R R ^ “ R-C=C-R (Scheme D) One of the better examples of this second route to the vinyl cation intermediate can be found in the recent ivoric of Curtin (7) on the nitrosation of primary vinyl amines. Curtin postulated that the nitrosation produced a vinyl diazonium ion which decomposed to a 3 vinyl cation. The vinyl cation intermediate accounted for the products and yields under various reaction conditions. Curtin, however, found (8) that the products that were produced on nitrosation of 3-amino-2- phenylindenone were better explained by invoking an addition-elimination of acetic acid on the vinyl diazonium ion produced in the nitrosation (Scheme E) .* © Ar NH Ar / 9 /N2 -N Ar^ © C=C 2 x n > xC=C-Ar a/ h N0C1 Ar H H (Scheme E) As a possible reason for the mechanistic change, Curtin suggested that the 1 ,2-diphenylvinyl cation could adopt a linear configuration but the analogous cation from the decomposition of the 3-diazonium-2- phenyl indenone cation could not assume this linear configuration, and * Product stereochemistry is not implied. 4 forced the decomposition to proceed through the observed addition- elimination mechanism. The concept that a linear vinyl cation is more stable than a non-linear vinyl cation because of charge delocal- ization is 1 generally accepted ( —8 and references therein) and deserves little additional comment at this point. The change in mechanism which was inferred by Curtin (8) has serious implications . A study of any system in which a vinyl cation is postulated as a possible intermediate must also include evidence designed specifically to rule out a possible addition-elimination route to products. In light of the recent success of Curtin, it was decided that a study of vinyl cations using vinyl diazonium ion precursors might prove even more fruitful if a wider variety of vinyl diazonium ions were available and if the scope of the mechanistic study could be broadened by making solvent changes. Several problems became evident. First, aryl vinyl amines are not a well known class of compounds and aliphatic vinyl amines are not synthetically accessible. Second, the fact that the diazonium ion is generated and destroyed in situ automatically limits the choice of solvents and conditions under which the vinyl cation can be studied. There is some evidence that the decomposition of phenyl diazonium ions in polar media can lead to the formation of phenyl cations (9,10), which are formally analogous to vinyl cations.

STRUCTURE AND SYNTHESIS HIROKAZU TANAKA, KEIZO YOSHIDA, YOSHIKUNI ITOH and HIROSHI IMANAKA Fermentation Research Laboratories, Fujisawa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Osaka, Japan (Received for publication October 26, 1981) The structure of new hypotensive vasodilators, WS-1228 A and B, produced by Strepto- myces aureofaciens, were determined as I and 2, respectively, on the basis of their spectral and chemical evidences. WS-1228 A (1), having N-hydroxytriazene moiety, was synthesized from (E,E,E)-2,4,7- undecatrienal (4) by condensation with hydrazine hydrate followed by nitrosation. In the course of screening for new biologically active compounds, we found that Streptomyces aureofaciens produces hypotensive vasodilators designated as WS-1228 A (1) and B (2). Taxonomy, isolation and characterization of these compounds have been reported in the preceding papery. This report describes the structure elucidations of WS-1228 A (1) and B (2) and the synthesis of 1. WS-1228 A (1) WS-1228 B (2) WS-1228 A (1) was isolated as yellow needles [mp 100 - 102°C (dec.)] which showed a positive color reaction to ferric chloride reagent.

Complexes of high and low oxidation state metals from the s- and p-blocks were targeted and these comprise the content of the experimental chapters two through five. Chapter one serves as a general introduction to rationalise the intent of this work. Herein focus is drawn to the nascent field of organometallic main group chemistry in the form of a discussion of its history using pertinent recent examples from the literature. Chapter two details the synthesis of an emerging class of versatile bis(NHC)carbazolide pincer ligands; bimcaR, and their complexation to s-block metals. The development of a new zwitterionic bis(imidazolium)carbazolide proligand is discussed, as well as the structural metrics of new lithium and magnesium bimcaR derivatives. Specifically, a new iodomagnesium complex is probed for its synthetic utility as a ligand-transfer agent and catalytic precursor in conjunction with attempts to access a reduced Mg(I) derivative.

    1 NEW AROMATIC FLUORINATIONS A Thesis Presented by LOUIS JOSEPH DIORAZIO in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the UNIVERSITY of LONDON Alan Johnson Laboratory Department of Chemistry IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON SW7 2AY September 1991 To Mum and Dad 2 Abstract This thesis is divided into four parts. The first two Chapters offer a review of the field of aromatic fluorination from 1980 until June 1991. The reactions studied are divided into two groups, those based on nucleophilic fluorination (Chapter one, Fluoride ion-based methodology) and those using electrophilic reactions (Chapter two, Molecular fluorine and reagents derived from this). Mention is made throughout of methods used in radiolabelling studies with the unstable isotope, fluorine-18. In the third Chapter, the development of a method for producing regioselective fluoroaromatics based on the fluorodemetallation process is discussed. The reagent used in this study was the electrophilic, fluorinating agent, caesium fluoroxysulphate, which was readily prepared in multigram quantities from molecular fluorine. The variation of the metalloid leaving group from the initial choice of silicon through to boron is discussed and the investigation of the role of the ligands surrounding the metal is rationalised. An hypothesis is presented to explain the different results seen in various solvents. This proposes the formationin situ of new fluorinating agents by reaction of caesium fluoroxysulphate with solvent molecules. Of the solvents investigated, methanol was found to give the most rapid reaction with a number of tricoordinate arylboron compounds. This was attributed to the formation of methyl hypofluorite whose reactivity was mediated by adduct formation with the substrate.

A structure-stability relationship (SSR) has been explored to investigate trends in stability, depending on the aromatic substituent and the structure of the secondary amine component of the diazonium salts and triazenes. All triazenes investigated show significantly greater stability (in many cases stable above 200 °C) compared to the corresponding diazonium salts, which show varying stabilities. KEYWORDS triazene, diazonium salt, thermal stability, DSC, continuous processing INTRODUCTION Diazonium salts are important intermediates in synthetic chemistry as they permit functionalization or transformation at the attached aromatic carbon. Consequently, many transformations utilizing diazonium salts have been developed.1-3 However, variability in the stability of diazonium salts renders their use at large scale problematic.4, 5 The stability of diazonium salts ranges from excellent to explosive, though very few are in the latter category. Nonetheless, the existence of some explosive compounds raises caution and concern, which provides motivation for the development of alternative synthetic route design to avoid diazonium salt chemistry.

Received: 20 July 2020; Accepted: 15 September 2020; Published: 23 September 2020 Abstract: This paper addresses a review of platinum-based hydrosilylation catalysts. The main field of application of these catalysts is the curing of silicone polymers. Since the 1960s, this area has developed rapidly in connection with the emergence of new polymer compositions and new areas of application. Here we describe general mechanisms of the catalyst activity and the structural effects of the ligands on activity and stability of the catalysts together with the methods for their synthesis. Keywords: silicone polymers; hydrosilylation; organometallic catalysts; platinum complexes 1. Introduction The hydrosilylation reaction (also referred to as hydrosilation) is widely used in the organosilicon industry. This reaction represents the addition of silicon-hydrogen bonds (Si–H) via an unsaturated carbon–carbon double bond (C=C), carbon–oxygen, and carbon–nitrogen double bonds.

Bass, Michael Huels, and Léon Sanche Department of Nuclear Medicine and Radiobiology, University of Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, QC, Canada Abstract We elucidate mechanisms of electron-induced radiolysis in cosmic (interstellar, planetary, and cometary) ice analogs of ammonia (NH3), likely the most abundant nitrogen-containing compound in the interstellar medium (ISM). Astrochemical processes were simulated under ultrahigh vacuum conditions by high-energy (1 keV) and low-energy (7 eV) electron-irradiation of nanoscale thin films of ammonia deposited on cryogenically cooled metal substrates. Irradiated films were analyzed by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). Experiments with ammonia isotopologues provide convincing evidence for the electron-induced formation of hydrazine (N2H4) and diazene (N2H2) from condensed NH3. To understand the dynamics of ammonia radiolysis, the dependence of hydrazine and diazene yields on incident electron energy, electron flux, electron fluence, film thickness, and ice temperature were investigated. Radiolysis yield measurements versus (1) irradiation time and (2) film thickness are semi-quantitatively consistent with a reaction mechanism that involves a bimolecular step for the formation of hydrazine and diazene from the dimerization of amidogen (NH2) and imine (NH) radicals, respectively.
