Crossing Point

The reaction coordinate of the fragmentation of aromatic radical anions with nucleofugal groups was studied by the INDO and MNDO techniques. The reaction coordinate turned out as the stretching between the nucleofugal group bonded to the carbon atom of the aryl moiety. It was found that to fragment a π* radical anion, the odd electron has to be transferred to the σ* molecular orbital of the aryl-nucleofugal bond by an orbital crossing, which is reached by the lengthening of this bond. There is a qualitative agreement between the length of the bond to reach the orbital crossing point and the experimental fragmentation rates of the aromatic radical anions. Finally, some considerations about the σ-π coupling are made, since it is defining the possibility of a transfer from the π* to the σ* molecular orbital.

Metallic Magnesium

Activated metals for organic synthesis are often prepared by reduction of metal salts using alkali metal aromatic radical anions. The reduction of magnesium chloride has been examined by NMR. Whereas the expected reduction to the metal occurred with lithium or potassium naphthalene radical anion, under certain conditions, with sodium naphthalene radical anion, no metallic magnesium was precipitated and dark red solutions were obtained. It was also found that solutions of sodium naphthalene radical anion in tetrahydrofuran, in the presence of a catalytic amount of magnesium chloride, quickly became diamagnetic. A mechanism involving bimetallic species is postulated to explain the results.

The Stability

It has been found that the decay in dimethylformamide and dimethylformamide-water mixtures of radical anions in five of the investigated 5-nitrofurans is governed by a second-order reaction. Only the decay of the radical anion generated from 5-nitro-2-furfural III may be described by an equation including parallel first- and second-order reactions; this behaviour is evidently caused by the relatively high stability of the corresponding dianion, this being an intermediate in the reaction path. The presence of a larger conjugated system in the substituent in position 2 results in a decrease of the unpaired electron density in the nitro group and, consequently, an increase in the stability of the corresponding radical anions.
