Let us now turn to the experimental results to see if these predictions are borne out in fact. It has long been known that E2H reactions normally give preferentially anti elimination. For example, reaction of meso-stilbene dibromide with potassium ethoxide gives cis-bromostilbene (Reaction 7.39), whereas reaction of the D,L-dibromide gives the trans product (Reaction 7.40).lo2 A multitude of other examples exist-see, for example, note 64 (p. 355) and note 82 (p. 362). E2H reactions do, however, give syn elimination when: (1) an H-X di- hedral angle of 0" is achievable but one of 180" is not or, put another way, H and X can become syn-periplanar but not trans-periplanar ; (2) a syn hydrogen is much more reactive than the anti ones; (3) syn elimination is favored for steric reasons; and (4) an anionic base that remains coordinated with its cation, that, in turn, is coordinated with the leaving group, is used as catalyst. The very great importance of category 4 has only begun to be fully realized in the early 1970s. lo2 P. Pfeiffer, 2. Physik. Chem.

  • Nomenclature Cyclic Aliphatic Hydrocarbons Are Named By
    An alicyclic compound is an organic compound that is both aliphatic and cyclic. They contain one or more all-carbon rings which may be either saturated or unsaturated, but do not have aromatic character. Alicyclic compounds may have one or more aliphatic side chains attached. The simplest alicyclic compounds are the 1. monocyclic cycloalkanes: cyclopropane, cyclobutane, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, cyclohepta ne, cyclooctane, and so on. 2. Bicyclic alkanes include bicycloundecane, decalin, and housane. 3. Polycyclic alkanes include cubane, basketane, and tetrahedrane. Spiro compounds have two or more rings that are connected through only one carbon atom. Nomenclature Cyclic aliphatic hydrocarbons are named by prefixing cyclo- to the name of the corresponding open-chain hydrocarbon having the same number of carbons as the ring. For example: Cyclopropane Cyclobutane Cyclopentane Cyclopentene Substituents on the ring- alkyl, groups, halogens- are named and their positions indicated by numbers. Chlorocyclopropane 1,1- Dimethylyclopentane 1,3-Dimethylcyclohexane CH3 CH3 Cl H3C CH3 In simple cycloalkenes and cycloalkynes the double and triply bonded carbons are considered to occupy positions 1 and 2. For example: 3-Ethylcyclopentene 1,3-Cyclohexadiene H3C For convenience, aliphatic rings are often represented by simple geometric figures: a triangle for cyclopropane, a square for cyclobutane, a pentagon for cyclopentane, a hexagon for cyclohexane and so on. It is understood that two hydrogens are located at each corner of the figure unless some other group is indicated. For example H3C cyclopentane 3-Ethylcyclopentene 1,3-Cyclopentadiene CH3 CH3 Cl CH Cyclohexane 3 1,3-Dimethylcyclohexane 2- Chloro-1-methylcyclohexane As usual alcohols are given the ending –ol, which takes priority over –ene and appears last in the name.

Marineau Thesis Advisor: Professor Marc. L. Snapper Abstract Cyclobutadiene cycloadditions provide rapid access to rigid polycyclic systems with high strain energy and unusual molecular geometries. Further functionalization of these systems allows entry into unexplored chemical space. A tricarbonylcyclobutadiene iron complex on solid support enables exploration of these cycloadditions in a parallel format amenable to diversity oriented synthesis. Modeling of the cycloaddition transition states with density functional calculations provides a theoretical basis for analysis of the regioselectivity observed in generation of these substituted bicyclo[2.2.0]hexene derivatives. The high strain energy accessible in cyclobutadiene cycloadducts and their derivatives renders them useful synthons for access to medium-ring natural products through ring expansion. Torilin, a guaiane sesquiterpene isolated from extracts of the fruits of Torilis japonica, exhibits a range of biological activities including testosterone 5 -reductase inhibition, hKv1.5 channel blocking, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects.

  • 1 Refinery and Petrochemical Processes
    3 1 Refinery and Petrochemical Processes 1.1 Introduction The combination of high demand for electric cars and higher automobile engine effi- ciency in the future will mean less conversion of petroleum into fuels. However, the demand for petrochemicals is forecast to rise due to the increase in world popula- tion. With this, it is expected that modern and more innovative technologies will be developed to serve the growth of the petrochemical market. In a refinery process, petroleum is converted into petroleum intermediate prod- ucts, including gases, light/heavy naphtha, kerosene, diesel, light gas oil, heavy gas oil, and residue. From these intermediate refinery product streams, several fuels such as fuel gas, liquefied petroleum gas, gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, auto diesel, and other heavy products such as lubricants, bunker oil, asphalt, and coke are obtained. In addition, these petroleum intermediates can be further processed and separated into products for petrochemical applications. In this chapter, petroleum will be introduced first. Petrochemicals will be intro- duced in the second part of the chapter. Petrochemicals – the main subject of this book – will address three major areas, (i) the production of the seven cornerstone petrochemicals: methane and synthesis gas, ethylene, propylene, butene, benzene, toluene, and xylenes; (ii) the uses of the seven cornerstone petrochemicals, and (iii) the technology to separate petrochemicals into individual components. 1.2 Petroleum Petroleum is derived from the Latin words “petra” and “oleum,” which means “rock” and “oil,” respectively. Petroleum also is known as crude oil or fossil fuel. It is a thick, flammable, yellow-to-black mixture of gaseous, liquid, and solid hydrocarbons formed from the remains of plants and animals.

  • Dehydrogenation by Heterogeneous Catalysts
    Dehydrogenation by Heterogeneous Catalysts Daniel E. Resasco School of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science University of Oklahoma Encyclopedia of Catalysis January, 2000 1. INTRODUCTION Catalytic dehydrogenation of alkanes is an endothermic reaction, which occurs with an increase in the number of moles and can be represented by the expression Alkane ! Olefin + Hydrogen This reaction cannot be carried out thermally because it is highly unfavorable compared to the cracking of the hydrocarbon, since the C-C bond strength (about 246 kJ/mol) is much lower than that of the C-H bond (about 363 kJ/mol). However, in the presence of a suitable catalyst, dehydrogenation can be carried out with minimal C-C bond rupture. The strong C-H bond is a closed-shell σ orbital that can be activated by oxide or metal catalysts. Oxides can activate the C-H bond via hydrogen abstraction because they can form O-H bonds, which can have strengths comparable to that of the C- H bond. By contrast, metals cannot accomplish the hydrogen abstraction because the M- H bonds are much weaker than the C-H bond. However, the sum of the M-H and M-C bond strengths can exceed the C-H bond strength, making the process thermodynamically possible. In this case, the reaction is thought to proceed via a three centered transition state, which can be described as a metal atom inserting into the C-H bond. The C-H bond bridges across the metal atom until it breaks, followed by the formation of the corresponding M-H and M-C bonds.1 Therefore, dehydrogenation of alkanes can be carried out on oxides as well as on metal catalysts.

  • First Principles Prediction of Thermodynamic Properties
    2 First Principles Prediction of Thermodynamic Properties Hélio F. Dos Santos and Wagner B. De Almeida NEQC: Núcleo de Estudos em Química Computacional, Departamento de Química, ICE Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF), Campus Universitário Martelos, Juiz de Fora LQC-MM: Laboratório de Química Computacional e Modelagem Molecular Departamento de Química, ICEx, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) Campus Universitário, Pampulha, Belo Horizonte Brazil 1. Introduction The determination of the molecular structure is undoubtedly an important issue in chemistry. The knowledge of the tridimensional structure allows the understanding and prediction of the chemical-physics properties and the potential applications of the resulting material. Nevertheless, even for a pure substance, the structure and measured properties reflect the behavior of many distinct geometries (conformers) averaged by the Boltzmann distribution. In general, for flexible molecules, several conformers can be found and the analysis of the physical and chemical properties of these isomers is known as conformational analysis (Eliel, 1965). In most of the cases, the conformational processes are associated with small rotational barriers around single bonds, and this fact often leads to mixtures, in which many conformations may exist in equilibrium (Franklin & Feltkamp, 1965). Therefore, the determination of temperature-dependent conformational population is very much welcomed in conformational analysis studies carried out by both experimentalists and theoreticians.

Abstract In the presence of an alkene, three different modes of photocycloaddition with benzene derivatives can occur; the [2 + 2] or ortho, the [3 + 2] or meta, and the [4 + 2] or para photocycloaddition. This short review aims to demonstrate the synthetic power of these photocycloadditions. Introduction Photocycloadditions occur in a variety of modes [1].

The descriptors ortho, meta [4 + 4] cycloadditions can also occur to afford cyclooctadiene and para only indicate the connectivity to the aromatic ring, and compounds. On the other hand, the well-known thermal [4 + 2] do not have any implication with regard to the reaction mecha- cycloaddition (Diels–Alder reaction) is only very rarely nism.
