Hie term "carbene" will be used in this study to denote the family of divalent carbon compounds in general. The first member of this homologous series will be named methylene (HgC:); all other gem-divalent radicals will be named by adding "-idene" to the name of the corresponding univalent radical [Inter­ national Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry Report on Nomenclature, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 82, 5545 (I960); R. S. Shank, Ph.D. Dissertation, Hie Ohio State University, 1 9 6 1]. renewed Interest in the past decade. New syntheses of divalent carbon intermediates have been devised and evidence of the presence of carbenes in numerous reactions has been found (2-5).

Any discussion of divalent carbon must include con­ sideration of the multiplicity of these specieB. Hie two unshared electrons may be unpaired and formally considered to occupy two 2£ orbitals resulting in a triplet, or they 1 2 p may be paired and formally considered to occupy a sp orbital with a 2£ orbital vacant resulting in a singlet molecule.

  • The Development of Simplified Microreactors for Use in Multi-Step Reaction Sequences
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF SIMPLIFIED MICROREACTORS FOR USE IN MULTI-STEP REACTION SEQUENCES A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Andrew R. Bogdan August 2009 © 2009 Andrew R. Bogdan THE DEVELOPMENT OF SIMPLIFIED MICROREACTORS FOR USE IN MULTI-STEP REACTION SEQUENCES Andrew R. Bogdan, Ph. D. Cornell University 2009 This dissertation describes the development of simplified microreactors to be used in multi-step reaction sequences. Microreactors are a developing technology with numerous benefits and whose modular design permits multi-step reaction sequences to be performed in a continuous flow process. The first chapter discusses the physical properties of microreactors and describes how performing reactions in these miniaturized reactors leads to safer, more efficient and more selective chemical transformations. A brief discussion of multi-step reaction sequences already performed in flow will also be presented. These multi-step reaction sequences, however, rarely rely on catalysis to facilitate chemical transformations. This area therefore has room for great improvement. The next two chapters discuss the development and application of solid-supported catalysts to be used in flow. In the first of these two chapters, two catalysts are immobilized on a solid-support and used in a simplified flow reactor. These reactions proved to be more efficient than similar batch reaction and the catalysts were highly recyclable. The next chapter presents a supported TEMPO catalyst used to oxidize alcohols to carbonyl species. These three catalysts set the foundation for multi-step flow reaction to be potentially performed in the group.

  • Benzopinacolate Promoted Radical Carbon-Carbon Bond Forming
    Bis(trimethylstannyl)benzopinacolate Promoted Radical Carbon-Carbon Bond Forming Reactions and Related Studies Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Franklin Lee Seely Graduate Program in Chemistry The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Robert S. Coleman, Co-Advisor David J. Hart, Co-Advisor T. V. RajanBabu Abstract This research has dealt primarily with the development of novel methods for radical carbon-carbon bond formation. A major focus of this research has been the hydrogen atom free generation of trialkyltin radicals. The bulk of this thesis will deal with the use of bis(trimethylstannyl)benzopinacolate 1 in mediating radical reactions. We have demonstrated that these conditions allow a wide variety of inter and intramolecular free radical addition reactions. We have given evidence that these reactions proceed via a novel non-chain free radical mechanism. ii Dedication This thesis is dedicated to Tracy Lynne Court. You have given me the courage to try again. iii Acknowledgments I would like to sincerely thank Dr. David J. Hart for all his help, the countless hours of work he put in, and for making this possible. I would like to thank Dr. Robert S. Coleman for agreeing to act as my advisor, and all the support and guidance he has given. I would like to than Dr. T. V.

  • Adsorption Behavior of the Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Alkyl, Allyl and Aryl Alcohols Over Nanoscale (1 0 0) Surface of Γ-Alumina
    Adsorption Behavior of the Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Alkyl, Allyl and Aryl Alcohols Over Nanoscale (1 0 0) Surface of γ-Alumina Mehdi Zamani1,2*, Hossein A. Dabbagh2* 1) Department of Chemistry, Malek-ashtar University of Technology, Shahin-shahr P.O. Box 83145/115, Islamic Republic of Iran 2) Department of Chemistry, Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan 84156-83111, Islamic Republic of Iran Abstract In this study, the adsorption behavior of the primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols over nanoscale (1 0 0) surface of defect spinel γ-alumina was investigated with the aid of density functional theory (DFT) at BLYP/DNP level of calculation. The influence of different substituents including alkyl, cycloalkyl, allyl and aryl were analyzed for free and adsorbed alcohols to shed light the adsorption selectivity of these compounds over γ-alumina surface. These results indicate that more branches at position of alcohol favor the adsorption, while a decrease in adsorption energy is achieved for the alcohols containing the substituents at the β position. The tertiary alcohols are adsorbed over the surface stronger than secondary and primary alcohols. Alcohols with larger alkyl chains have greater adsorption energies. Also the aryl alcohols are adsorbed over the surface better than the alkyl and allyl moieties. Keywords: Nanoscale surface of γ-Alumina; Alcohol; Molecular adsorption; DFT © 2014 Published by Journal of Nanoanalysis. 1. Introduction Alumina is well known catalyst by both acidic and basic properties. In recent years, many experimental and theoretical works have studied the structure, reactivity and selectivity of γ-alumina especially at nanoscale (1-23). Theoretical investigations of the adsorption on γ-alumina have focused mostly on Lewis acidity of the surface (1-4), and the reactivity with water (5-11), hydrogen sulfide (5,10,12), carbon monoxide (5,10,13), ammonia (6), pyridine (4,6), hydrogen chloride (7), alkenes (14,15), alkanes (16), alcohols (17-23) and ethers (23).
