It was shown that the surface hydroxyl group of titanium dioxide, whose proton initiates C–O bond cleavage in the ethylene oxide molecule, plays the key role in the activation of the molecule. At the same time, the phospho ryl group –P(OH)2O activates the reactant molecule R (MEG, DEG, etc.) and carries out the synchronous proton transfer from R to the hydroxyl oxygen atom of titanium dioxide, thus restoring the catalyst structure and closing the catalytic cycle. This restructuring occurs synchronously in one step. The substitution of the catalyst hydroxyl groups by alkoxyl groups can influence oxyethylation occurring via the bimolecular nucleo philic substitution mechanism and can poison the catalyst in some cases. -

J. ii AGRADECIMENTOS O percurso de anos que conduz à conclusão de uma dissertação de doutoramento permite conviver com pessoas que ajudam a reflectir e materializar projectos iniciais, muitas vezes vagos e dispersos. As valiosas colaborações de um número dessas pessoas, bem como o seu incentivo e dedicação não podiam deixar de ser aqui e agora registadas. Agradeço à Prof. Doutora Luísa Azuaga, minha orientadora, em primeiro lugar, não apenas por acompanhar o meu trabalho desde o primeiro momento, mas também pelas palavras de encorajamento, essenciais para a conclusão de cada etapa. Agradeço, ainda, o seu convite para integrar a equipa de pesquisa do CEAUL, um local de estudo e, tão importante, de discussão de saberes. Ao mesmo tempo, não teria sido possível chegar a este ponto sem o apoio do IPL / ESTG, que proporcionou condições indispensáveis a uma maior dedicação ao doutoramento. Para tal, muito colaboraram a Coordenadora do Departamento de Ciências da Linguagem e todos os meus colegas, a quem agradeço de forma muito especial. Não posso deixar de lembrar que este estudo só foi exequível com o particular apoio das empresas que, por motivo de sigilo a elas devido, não são nomeadas, mas que têm a minha permanente gratidão. -
Novel Synthesis of Partially Fluorinated Ethers
Issue in Honor of Prof. Sukh Dev ARKIVOC 2003 (iii) 104-119 Alkylation of in situ generated fluorinated alkoxides: novel synthesis of partially fluorinated ethers G. K. Surya Prakash*, Jinbo Hu and George A. Olah Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute and Department of Chemistry, University of Southern California, University Park, Los Angeles, CA 90089-1661 E-mail: [email protected] Dedicated to Professor Sukh Dev on the occasion of his 80th birthday (received 07 Jan 03; accepted 24 Feb 03; published on the web 27 Feb 03) Abstract Fluorinated ethers RfCF2OR were prepared from acyl chlorides RfCOCl, alkylating agents (such as dimethyl sulfate, alkyl triflates, alkyl mesylates and tosylates, etc.) and potassium fluoride in diglyme at 80~100 oC. The success and the efficiency of the reaction are affected by two factors: the stability and nucleophilicity of the fluorinated alkoxide generated in situ; and the other is the electrophilicity of the alkylating agents used. Keywords: Fluoroethers, fluoroacyl halides, fluoride ion, alkylation Introduction In general, carbon-fluorine bonds (C-F, ~116 kcal/mol) are stronger than carbon-hydrogen bonds (C-H, ~99 kcal/mol).1 However, not all organofluorine compounds are more stable than their non-fluorinated analogs, and sometimes they are even less stable. For instance, if a partially or fully fluorinated organic compounds contains an acidic hydrogen at the β position, HF elimination is observed. This is the main reason that α-fluoro alcohols are thermally unstable and 2 difficult to be synthesized or isolated. Formation of fluoromethanol (FCH2OH) from ethyl fluoroformate and from formyl fluoride was first reported by Olah and Pavlath3 in 1953, and Weinmayer4 in 1963 claimed the formation of fluoromethanol (25-30% in equilibrium) from a solution of paraformaldehyde in excess hydrogen fluoride. -

Reactive Chlorine Compounds in the Atmosphere
CHAPTER 1 Reactive Bromine Compounds O.N.Singh 1 · P.Fabian 2 1 Department of Applied Physics, Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi- 221 005, India. E-mail: [email protected] 2 University of Munich, Lehrstuhl für Bioklimatologie und Immissionsforschung, Am Hochanger 13, D-85354 Freising-Weihenstephan, Germany. E-mail: [email protected] Bromine, a minor constituent in the Earth’s atmosphere – with its 50-fold higher efficiency of ozone destruction compared to chlorine – contributes significantly to the ozone hole formation and wintertime stratospheric ozone depletion over northern mid and high latitudes.In addition ozone episodes observed in the Arctic during polar sunrise are solely due to atmospheric bromine.CH3Br, CH2Br2 and CHBr3 are the major brominated gases in the atmosphere, of which CH3Br being most abundant, contributes about 50% and CH2Br2 around 7 to 10% of the total organic stratospheric bromine.Bromocarbons with shorter lifetimes like CHBr3 ,CH2BrCl, CHBr2Cl, CHBrCl2 and CH2BrI decompose before reaching the stratosphere, and are responsible for the ozone episodes.But for 3CHBr, which has also significant anthropogenic sources, all the aforementioned bromocarbons are mostly of marine origin.Halons (H-1211, H-1301, H-2402, H-1202) are solely anthropogenic and are far more stable.They decompose only after reaching the stratosphere.It is estimated that 39% of the stratospheric organic bromine (ª 7 pptv) loading is due to these halons.Increa- ses are being still registered in the atmospheric abundance of halons in spite of production restrictions.Though extensively investigated,the existing knowledge with regard to the pro- duction and degradation of atmospheric bromine gases, is not commensurate with its importance. -

Coles-Taylor Title: Controlling Transition Metal-Catalyzed Alkyne Annulations Utilizing Polarized Ynol Ethers Advisor: Brian Michel, PhD Degree Date: June 2020 Abstract Transition metal-catalyzed alkyne annulations have developed into incredibly powerful synthetic tools over there the past quarter century. These reactions provide rapid access to important organic scaffolds such as indole, quinoline, isoquinoline, indene, and isocoumarin scaffolds. Transition metal mediated alkyne annulations have proven invaluable in synthetic fields, such as natural product total synthesis, by offering efficient pathways to otherwise synthetically difficult to access substrates. Foundational works performed by chemist such as Larock, Ackermann, Satoh, and Miura have been established through relying upon the usage of symmetrical alkynes. When unsymmetrical alkynes are used in annulation processes mixtures of regioisomers are often isolated. While methodologies have been developed which regioselectively deliver annulation products, the regioselective nature of these reactions is often empirically determined and obtained with little synthetic design to impact the alkyne migratory insertion step of the catalytic cycle. -
