Abstract Superacid Catalyzed Reactions ABSTRACT SUPERACID CATALYZED REACTIONS: GENERATION OF REACTIVE INTERMEDIATES AND THEIR CHEMISTRY Makafui Gasonoo, Ph.D. Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Northern Illinois University, 2017 Douglas A. Klumpp, Director This dissertation describes the use of triflic acid as catalyst for generating reactive intermediates and studying their reactivities under varying reaction conditions. The first chapter is an introduction to the types of organic reactions and acids. This chapter also discusses generation and reactivities of superelectrophiles as well. Chapter 2 discusses the synthesis of 3,3-disubstituted-2-oxindoles from the reaction of a series of acetonyl-substituted 3-hydroxy-2-oxindoles with arene in the presence of triflic acid. These reactions are performed under mild conditions and products isolated in decent yields. In chapter 3, the effects of charge migration in a tetra- and pentacationic superelectrophile is studied. These highly reactive intermediates are reacted with benzene at elevated temperatures. In the absence of benzene, cyclization occurs to produce novel N- heterocyclic compounds. Alcohol precursors are also ionized to generate these reactive intermediates and studied using low-temperature NMR. Chapter 4 talks about the effects of charge-charge repulsion on the aromaticity and anti- aromaticity in fluorenyl and dibenzosuberenyl cations respectively. These cations are generated from ionization of the respective biaryl ketones and dibenzosuberenols with superacid. With increasing charge, there is a corresponding increase in the aromaticity or anti-aromaticity of the respective system. Chapter 5 describes the superacid-promoted synthesis of heterocycle-containing 9,9- diarylfluorenes from biaryl ketones. Products are generally isolated in good yields using mild reaction conditions. Some of these compounds are used in the manufacture of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and other organic-based electronics.

  • The Problem the Diols, Such As Ethane-1,2-Diol, Which Are The
    The problem The diols, such as ethane-1,2-diol, which are the products of the reaction with cold dilute potassium manganate(VII), are themselves quite easily oxidised by manganate(VII) ions. That means that the reaction won't stop at this point unless the potassium manganate(VII) solution is very dilute, very cold, and preferably not under acidic conditions. If you are using hot concentrated acidified potassium manganate(VII) solution, what you finally end up with depends on the arrangement of groups around the carbon-carbon double bond. Writing a structural formula to represent any alkene The formula below represents a general alkene. In organic chemistry, the symbol R is used to represent hydrocarbon groups or hydrogen in a formula when you don't want to talk about specific compounds. If you use the symbol more than once in a formula (as here), the various groups are written as R1, R2, etc. In this particular case, the double bond is surrounded by four such groups, and these can be any combination of same or different - so they could be 2 hydrogens, a methyl and an ethyl, or 1 hydrogen and 3 methyls, or 1 hydrogen and 1 methyl and 1 ethyl and 1 propyl, or any other combination you can think of. In other words, this formula represents every possible simple alkene: The first stage of the extended oxidation The acidified potassium manganate(VII) solution oxidises the alkene by breaking the carbon-carbon double bond and replacing it with two carbon-oxygen double bonds. 1 The products are known as carbonyl compounds because they contain the carbonyl group, C=O.

O L A H Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute and Department of Chemistry, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089-1661, USA “Every generation of scientific men (i.e. scientists) starts where the previous generation left off; and the most advanced discov- eries of one age constitute elementary axioms of the next. - - - Aldous Huxley INTRODUCTION Hydrocarbons are compounds of the elements carbon and hydrogen. They make up natural gas and oil and thus are essential for our modern life. Burning of hydrocarbons is used to generate energy in our power plants and heat our homes. Derived gasoline and diesel oil propel our cars, trucks, air- planes. Hydrocarbons are also the feed-stock for practically every man-made material from plastics to pharmaceuticals. What nature is giving us needs, however, to be processed and modified. We will eventually also need to make hydrocarbons ourselves, as our natural resources are depleted. Many of the used processes are acid catalyzed involving chemical reactions proceeding through positive ion intermediates. Consequently, the knowledge of these intermediates and their chemistry is of substantial significance both as fun- damental, as well as practical science. Carbocations are the positive ions of carbon compounds. It was in 1901 that Norris la and Kehrman lb independently discovered that colorless triphe- nylmethyl alcohol gave deep yellow solutions in concentrated sulfuric acid. Triphenylmethyl chloride similarly formed orange complexes with alumi- num and tin chlorides. von Baeyer (Nobel Prize, 1905) should be credited for having recognized in 1902 the salt like character of the compounds for- med (equation 1).

  • A Carbanion Is an Anion in Which Carbon Has an Unshared Pair Of
    A carbanion is an anion in which carbon has an unshared pair of electrons and bears a negative charge usually with three substituents for a total of eight valence electrons.[1] The carbanion exists in a trigonal pyramidal geometry. Formally a carbanion is the conjugate base of a carbon acid. − − R3C-H + B → R3C + H-B where B stands for the base. A carbanion is one of several reactive intermediates in organic chemistry. Definitions A carbocation was previously often called a carbonium ion but questions arose on the exact meaning.[1] In present day chemistry a carbocation is any positively charged carbon atom. Two special types have been suggested: carbenium ions (protonated carbenes, hence the name) are trivalent and carbonium ions (protonated alkanes) are pentavalent or hexavalent. University level textbooks only discuss carbocations as if they are carbenium ions,[2] or discuss carbocations with a fleeting reference to the older phrase of carbonium ion[3] or carbenium and carbonium ions.[4] One textbook to this day clings on to the older name of carbonium ion for carbenium ion and reserves the phrase hypervalent carbenium + [5] ion for CH5 .

Moses Gomberg (1866-1947), the founder of radical chemistry Radicals (often referred to as free radicals) are atoms, molecules, or ions with unpaired electrons or an open shell configuration. Free radicals may have positive, negative, or zero charge. With some exceptions, these unpaired electrons cause radicals to be highly chemically reactive.
