I THE CHEMISTRY OF SOME UNUSUAL CARBODIIMIDF.S BY DONALD MELVIN PLAUTZ A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, Doctor of Philosophy, Major in Chemistry, South Dakota State University 1971 � UTH AKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY LlBRARY THE CHEMISTRY OF SOME UNUSUAL CARBODIIMIDES This dissertation is approved as a creditable and independent investigation by the candidate for the degree, Doctor of Philosophy, and is acceptable as meeting the dissertation requirements for the degree, but \·rithout implying that the conclusions reached by the candidate are necessarily the conclusions of the major department. ABSTRACT Several �-alkyl-�-(N,N-dialkylamino)carbodiimides, which were found to form dimeric species, were prepared, and the structure of the dimeric species determined. A study of the reaction chemistry of both the monomeric and dimeric carbodiimides led to the conclusion that dimerization occurred via a (-n-2s + r2a) ground-state, symmetry-allowed mechanism, and hat thermal decomposition of the dimeric species occurred via a (-,,.,2s +-ir-2s) excited-state, symmetry-allowed mechanism. Although dialkylphosphoramidates have been shown to be useful intermediates in the preparation of unsaturated organic nitrogen compounds, N-acyl- and N-imino-dialkylphosphorohydrazidates were found to be too 1¥1,stable, forming trialkylphosphates upon distillation, to be of any synthetic value. The preparation of several difunctional and bis-carbodiimides was attempted, but no products were isolated. Based on the side reaction products isolated from the reaction mixtures, it was concluded that the desired carbodiimides did form, but that they were too unstable to be isolated under the reaction conditions used.

  • VII Chemical Bond
    VII. INTO THE UNKNOWN 7-1 THE ELECTRON DENSITY Now we are ready to look at lowest level of engineering structure—the level at which everything else is determined—the relation between the structure of the electron density and properties. Most importantly, we are going to associate a properties with the structure of that thing we have heard of, but never seen—the chemical bond--begining with the moving electron and electron density. As you know, atomic electrons are in constant motion about the tiny but massive nucleus. An electron’s mass is about 1/2000 that of a proton or neutron and it is moving very fast compared to the nucleus. While an electron is traveling at 3 to 10 million meters per second, as we know from the Boltzmann equation, at the temperature that concern us— < 3000K—even a fast nucleus is moving at less than one thousandth this speed— 1000 or so meters per second. As a mental image, think of an atom as a bee hive. At the center of the hive is the queen bee, which we will take as the location of an atomic nucleus. The electrons are the worker bees, making circuits about the hive. If the beekeeper moves the hive a bit, the circling bees simply move along with the hive—their motion is fast compared to that of the hive. But how fast? Well, the “electron bees” are moving much faster than the ordinary bees of our experience. 16 17 In one second, an individual electron bee will make between 10 and 10 Fig.

Hafez, Harald Wack, Brandon Young, Dana Ferraris, and Thomas Lectka* Contribution from the Department of Chemistry, Johns Hopkins UniVersity, 3400 North Charles Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21218 Received February 5, 2002 Abstract: We report practical methodology for the catalytic, asymmetric synthesis of â-lactams resulting from the development of a catalyzed reaction of ketenes (or their derived zwitterionic enolates) and imines. The products of these asymmetric reactions can serve as precursors to a number of enzyme inhibitors and drug candidates as well as valuable synthetic intermediates. We present a detailed study of the mechanism of the â-lactam forming reaction with proton sponge as the stoichiometric base, including kinetics and isotopic labeling studies. Stereochemical models based on molecular mechanics (MM) calculations are also presented to account for the observed stereoregular sense of induction in our reactions and to provide a guidepost for the design of other catalyst systems.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
