Truong Henry Eyring Center for Theoretical Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, UniVersity of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112 ReceiVed: March 25, 1998; In Final Form: July 17, 1998 The effects of aqueous solvent on structures and mechanism of the [2 + 2] cycloaddition between ketene and imine were investigated by using correlated MP2 and MP4 levels of ab initio molecular orbital theory in conjunction with the dielectric continuum Generalized Conductor-like Screening Model (GCOSMO) for solvation. We found that reactions in the gas phase and in aqueous solution have very different topology on the free energy surfaces but have similar characteristic motion along the reaction coordinate. First, it involves formation of a planar trans-conformation zwitterionic complex, then a rotation of the two moieties to form the cycloaddition product. Aqueous solvent significantly stabilizes the zwitterionic complex, consequently changing the topology of the free energy surface from a gas-phase single barrier (one-step) process to a double barrier (two-step) one with a stable intermediate. Electrostatic solvent-solute interaction was found to be the dominant factor in lowering the activation energy by 4.5 kcal/mol. The present calculated results are consistent with previous experimental data. Introduction Lim and Jorgensen have also carried out free energy perturbation (FEP) theory simulations with accurate force field that includes + [2 2] cycloaddition reactions are useful synthetic routes to solute polarization effects and found even much larger solvent - formation of four-membered rings.

DÕAlessandro, F. Richard Keene * Department of Chemistry, School of Pharmacy and Molecular Sciences, James Cook University, Townsville, Qld. 4811, Australia Received 19 June 2005; accepted 1 September 2005 Available online 3 October 2005 Abstract 5+ 0 0 IVCT solvatochromism studies on the meso and rac diastereoisomers of [{Ru(bpy)2}2(l-bpm)] (bpy = 2,2 -bipyridine; bpm = 2,2 - bipyrimidine) in a homologous series of nitrile solvents revealed that stereochemically directed specific solvent effects in the first solvation shell dominated the outer sphere contribution to the reorganizational energy for intramolecular electron transfer. Further, solvent pro- portion experiments in acetonitrile/propionitrile mixtures indicated that the magnitude and direction of the specific effect was dependent on the relative abilities of discrete solvent molecules to penetrate the clefts between the planes of the terminal polypyridyl ligands. In particular, the specific effects were dependent on the dimensionality of the clefts, and the number, size, orientation and location of the solvent dipoles within the interior and exterior clefts. 5+ 5+ IVCT solvatochromism studies on the diastereoisomeric forms of [{Ru(bpy)2}2(l-dbneil)] and [{Ru(pp)2}2(l-bpm)] {dbneil = dibenzoeilatin; pp = substituted derivatives of 2,20-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline} revealed that the subtle and systematic changes in the nature of the clefts by the variation of the bridging ligand, and the judicious positioning of substituents on the terminal ligands, profoundly influenced the magnitude of the reorganizational energy contribution to the electron transfer barrier.

NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION Mechanism of Aliphatic Nucleophilic Substitution. Aliphatic nucleophilic substitution clearly involves the donation of a lone pair from the nucleophile to the tetrahedral, electrophilic carbon bonded to a halogen. For that reason, it attracts to nucleophile In organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry, nucleophilic substitution is a fundamental class of reactions in which a leaving group(nucleophile) is replaced by an electron rich compound(nucleophile). The whole molecular entity of which the electrophile and the leaving group are part is usually called the substrate. The nucleophile essentially attempts to replace the leaving group as the primary substituent in the reaction itself, as a part of another molecule. The most general form of the reaction may be given as the following: Nuc: + R-LG → R-Nuc + LG: The electron pair (:) from the nucleophile(Nuc) attacks the substrate (R-LG) forming a new 1 bond, while the leaving group (LG) departs with an electron pair. The principal product in this case is R-Nuc. The nucleophile may be electrically neutral or negatively charged, whereas the substrate is typically neutral or positively charged.

  • Nucleophilic Substitution and Elimination Reactions
    8 NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION AND ELIMINATION REACTIONS substitution reactions involve the replacement of one atom or group (X) by another (Y): We already have described one very important type of substitution reaction, the halogenation of alkanes (Section 4-4), in which a hydrogen atom is re- placed by a halogen atom (X = H, Y = halogen). The chlorination of 2,2- dimethylpropane is an example: CH3 CH3 I I CH3-C-CH3 + C12 light > CH3-C-CH2Cl + HCI I I Reactions of this type proceed by radical-chain mechanisms in which the bonds are broken and formed by atoms or radicals as reactive intermediates. This 8-1 Classification of Reagents as Electrophiles and Nucleophiles. Acids and Bases mode of bond-breaking, in which one electron goes with R and the other with X, is called homolytic bond cleavage: R 'i: X + Y. - X . + R : Y a homolytic substitution reaction There are a large number of reactions, usually occurring in solution, that do not involve atoms or radicals but rather involve ions. They occur by heterolytic cleavage as opposed to homolytic cleavage of el~ctron-pairbonds. In heterolytic bond cleavage, the electron pair can be considered to go with one or the other of the groups R and X when the bond is broken. As one ex- ample, Y is a group such that it has an unshared electron pair and also is a negative ion. A heterolytic substitution reaction in which the R:X bonding pair goes with X would lead to RY and :X? R~:X+ :YO --' :x@+ R :Y a heterolytic substitution reaction A specific substitution reaction of this type is that of chloromethane with hydroxide ion to form methanol: In this chapter, we shall discuss substitution reactions that proceed by ionic or polar mechanisms' in which the bonds cleave heterolytically.

Engberts* Physical Organic Chemistry Unit, Stratingh Institute, University of Groningen, Nijenborgh 4, 9747 AG Groningen, The Netherlands Received 21 December 2004; revised 7 February 2005; accepted 7 February 2005 ABSTRACT: The kinetics of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of benzonitrile oxide with a series of N-substituted maleimides and with cyclopentene are reported for water, a wide range of organic solvents and binary solvent mixtures. The results indicate the importance of both solvent polarity and specific hydrogen-bond interactions in governing the rates of the reactions. The aforementioned reactions are examples for which these factors often counteract, leading to a complex dependence of rate constants on the nature of the solvent. For the reactions of N- ethylmaleimide and N-n-butylmaleimide with benzonitrile oxide, isobaric activation parameters have been deter- mined in several organic solvents, water, and water–1-propanol mixtures. Interestingly, the activation parameters reveal significant differences in solvation in different solvents that are not clearly reflected in the rate constants. In highly aqueous mixtures, enforced hydrophobic interactions lead to an increase in rate constant, relative to organic solvents. However, the overall rate enhancement in water is modest, if present at all, because the solvent polarity diminishes the rate constant.
