The Influence of Copper on Halogenation/Dehalogenation catalysts Review The Influence of Copper on Halogenation/Dehalogenation Reactions of Aromatic Compounds and Its Role in the Destruction of Polyhalogenated Aromatic Contaminants Tomáš Weidlich Chemical Technology Group, Institute of Environmental and Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Chemical Technology, University of Pardubice, Studentska 573, 53210 Pardubice, Czech Republic; [email protected]; Tel.: +420-46-603-8049 Abstract: The effect of copper and its compounds on halogenation and dehalogenation of aromatic compounds will be discussed in the proposed article. Cu oxidized to appropriate halides is an effective halogenation catalyst not only for the synthesis of halogenated benzenes or their derivatives as desired organic fine chemicals, but is also an effective catalyst for the undesirable formation of thermodynamically stable and very toxic polychlorinated and polybrominated aromatic compounds such as polychlorinated biphenyls, dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans accompanied incineration of waste contaminated with halogenated compounds or even inorganic halides. With appropriate change in reaction conditions, copper and its alloys or oxides are also able to effectively catalyze dehalogenation reactions, as will be presented in this review.

  • Common Names for Selected Aromatic Groups
    More Nomenclature: Common Names for Selected Aromatic Groups Phenyl group = or Ph = C6H5 = Aryl = Ar = aromatic group. It is a broad term, and includes any aromatic rings. Benzyl = Bn = It has a -CH2- (methylene) group attached to the benzene ring. This group can be used to name particular compounds, such as the one shown below. This compound has chlorine attached to a benzyl group, therefore it is called benzyl chloride. Benzoyl = Bz = . This is different from benzyl group (there is an extra “o” in the name). It has a carbonyl attached to the benzene ring instead of a methylene group. For example, is named benzoyl chloride. Therefore, it is sometimes helpful to recognize a common structure in order to name a compound. Example: Nomenclature: 3-phenylpentane Example: This is Amaize. It is used to enhance the yield of corn production. The systematic name for this compound is 2,4-dinitro-6-(1-methylpropyl)phenol. Polynuclear Aromatic Compounds Aromatic rings can fuse together to form polynuclear aromatic compounds. Example: It is two benzene rings fused together, and it is aromatic. The electrons are delocalized in both rings (think about all of its resonance form). Example: This compound is also aromatic, including the ring in the middle. All carbons are sp2 hybridized and the electron density is shared across all 5 rings. Example: DDT is an insecticide and helped to wipe out malaria in many parts of the world. Consequently, the person who discovered it (Muller) won the Nobel Prize in 1942. The systematic name for this compound is 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis-(4-chlorophenyl)ethane.

  • 23.5 Basicity and Acidity of Amines
    23_BRCLoudon_pgs5-0.qxd 12/8/08 1:22 PM Page 1122 1122 CHAPTER 23 • THE CHEMISTRY OF AMINES alkylamines, this resonance occurs at rather small chemical shift—typically around d 1. In aromatic amines, this resonance is at greater chemical shift, as in the second of the preceding examples. Like the OH protons of alcohols, phenols, and carboxylic acids, the NH protons of amines under most conditions undergo rapid exchange (Secs. 13.6 and 13.7D). For this reason, split- ting between the amine N H and adjacent C H groups is usually not observed. Thus, in the NMR spectrum of diethylamine,L the N H resonanceL is a singlet rather than the triplet ex- pected from splitting by the adjacent CHL2 protons. In some amine samples, the N H resonance is broadened and, like the OL H protonL of alcohols, it can be obliterated fromL the spectrum by exchange with D2O (the “DL2O shake,” p. 611). The characteristic 13C NMR absorptions of amines are those of the a-carbons—the carbons attached directly to the nitrogen. These absorptions occur in the d 30–50 chemical-shift range. As expected from the relative electronegativities of oxygen and nitrogen, these shifts are somewhat less than the a-carbon shifts of ethers. PROBLEMS 23.4 Identify the compound that has an M 1 ion at mÜz 136 in its CI mass spectrum, an IR 1 + = absorption at 3279 cm_ , and the following NMR spectrum: d 0.91 (1H, s), d 1.07 (3H, t, J 7Hz), d 2.60 (2H, q, J 7Hz), d 3.70 (2H, s), d 7.18 (5H, apparent s).

  • 2 Reactions Observed with Alkanes Do Not Occur with Aromatic Compounds 2 (SN2 Reactions Never Occur on Sp Hybridized Carbons!)
    Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Aromatic compounds are stabilized by this “aromatic stabilization” energy Due to this stabilization, normal SN2 reactions observed with alkanes do not occur with aromatic compounds 2 (SN2 reactions never occur on sp hybridized carbons!) In addition, the double bonds of the aromatic group do not behave similar to alkene reactions Aromatic Substitution While aromatic compounds do not react through addition reactions seen earlier Br Br Br2 Br2 FeBr3 Br With an appropriate catalyst, benzene will react with bromine The product is a substitution, not an addition (the bromine has substituted for a hydrogen) The product is still aromatic Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Aromatic compounds react through a unique substitution type reaction Initially an electrophile reacts with the aromatic compound to generate an arenium ion (also called sigma complex) The arenium ion has lost aromatic stabilization (one of the carbons of the ring no longer has a conjugated p orbital) Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution In a second step, the arenium ion loses a proton to regenerate the aromatic stabilization The product is thus a substitution (the electrophile has substituted for a hydrogen) and is called an Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Energy Profile Transition states Transition states Intermediate Potential E energy H Starting material Products E Reaction Coordinate The rate-limiting step is therefore the formation of the arenium ion The properties of this arenium ion therefore control electrophilic aromatic substitutions (just like any reaction consider the stability of the intermediate formed in the rate limiting step) 1) The rate will be faster for anything that stabilizes the arenium ion 2) The regiochemistry will be controlled by the stability of the arenium ion The properties of the arenium ion will predict the outcome of electrophilic aromatic substitution chemistry Bromination To brominate an aromatic ring need to generate an electrophilic source of bromine In practice typically add a Lewis acid (e.g.

  • Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just Like an Alkene, Benzene Has Clouds of  Electrons Above and Below Its Sigma Bond Framework
    Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just like an alkene, benzene has clouds of electrons above and below its sigma bond framework. Although the electrons are in a stable aromatic system, they are still available for reaction with strong electrophiles. This generates a carbocation which is resonance stabilized (but not aromatic). This cation is called a sigma complex because the electrophile is joined to the benzene ring through a new sigma bond. The sigma complex (also called an arenium ion) is not aromatic since it contains an sp3 carbon (which disrupts the required loop of p orbitals). Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page1 The loss of aromaticity required to form the sigma complex explains the highly endothermic nature of the first step. (That is why we require strong electrophiles for reaction). The sigma complex wishes to regain its aromaticity, and it may do so by either a reversal of the first step (i.e. regenerate the starting material) or by loss of the proton on the sp3 carbon (leading to a substitution product). When a reaction proceeds this way, it is electrophilic aromatic substitution. There are a wide variety of electrophiles that can be introduced into a benzene ring in this way, and so electrophilic aromatic substitution is a very important method for the synthesis of substituted aromatic compounds. Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page2 Bromination of Benzene Bromination follows the same general mechanism for the electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS). Bromine itself is not electrophilic enough to react with benzene. But the addition of a strong Lewis acid (electron pair acceptor), such as FeBr3, catalyses the reaction, and leads to the substitution product.

  • Aryl Radical-Mediated N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalysis
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-24144-2 OPEN Aryl radical-mediated N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis ✉ Yuki Matsuki1,3, Nagisa Ohnishi1,3, Yuki Kakeno1, Shunsuke Takemoto1, Takuya Ishii1, Kazunori Nagao 1 & ✉ Hirohisa Ohmiya 1,2 There have been significant advancements in radical reactions using organocatalysts in modern organic synthesis. Recently, NHC-catalyzed radical reactions initiated by single 1234567890():,; electron transfer processes have been actively studied. However, the reported examples have been limited to catalysis mediated by alkyl radicals. In this article, the NHC organocatalysis mediated by aryl radicals has been achieved. The enolate form of the Breslow intermediate derived from an aldehyde and thiazolium-type NHC in the presence of a base undergoes single electron transfer to an aryl iodide, providing an aryl radical. The catalytically generated aryl radical could be exploited as an arylating reagent for radical relay-type arylacylation of styrenes and as a hydrogen atom abstraction reagent for α-amino C(sp3)–H acylation of secondary amides. 1 Division of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kanazawa University, Kakuma-machi, Kanazawa, Japan. 2 JST, PRESTO, Kawaguchi, ✉ Saitama, Japan. 3These authors contributed equally: Yuki Matsuki, Nagisa Ohnishi. email: [email protected]; [email protected] NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | (2021) 12:3848 | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-24144-2 | www.nature.com/naturecommunications 1 ARTICLE NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-24144-2 ryl halides (Ar–X) have been broadly utilized as versatile Considering the gap in redox potential between the enolate = − 34 reagents for chemical reactions due to their availability form of the Breslow intermediate (Eox 0.97 V vs.
