A study has been made of some factors affecting the migration or elimination of halogen in the Claisen rearrangement of allyl 2,6-dihalophenyl ethers.In the thermal rearrangement of allyl 2,6-dichlorophenyl ether, carried out in a number of solvents of different dielectric constant, halogen migration proceeds somewhat better in highly polar solvents. However, a competitive reduction to the monohalogenated allylphenol occurs in the presence of oxidizable solvents and/or products. The reaction is also complicated by the catalytic effects of certain solvents and the phenolic products, which give results similar to those obtained with Lewis acids. Stannous chloride acts as a Lewis acid and catalyzes the rearrangement of allyl 2,6-dichlorophenyl ether with simultaneous halogen rearrangement. As well, a competitive reductive removal of the halogen takes place. Results from the rearrangement of allyl 2,6-dibromophenyl ether with zinc chloride and of allyl 2,6-dichlorophenyl ether with zinc bromide, as well as those from the stannous chloride reactions indicate that the halogen migration takes place not only by an allylic shift but also via a competitive halogen substitution probably occurring by an Sn2′ pathway possibly assisted by a zinc halide bridge mechanism and/or an ionic species such as [Formula: see text].

A study of factors affecting the ceruleomolybdate reaction for phosphate is reported. The concentrations of stannous and stannic ions, the presence of extraneous salts, and temperature are important factors affecting the intensity and stability of the blue colour.The stannous chloride reagent should be preserved from oxidation by storing it under hydrogen.The interference by ferric iron is due largely to its reaction with the reducing agent, and may be avoided by diluting the sample to contain 0.1 p.p.m. of phosphorus and using two or three times the usual quantity of stannous chloride.

The thermostructural behavior of metal-organic framework (MOF) precursors is responsible for regulating the introduction of MOF structure defects during synthesis. In this paper, we evaluate factors affecting the flexibility of MIL-101(Cr) half – secondary building units (half-SBUs) in solution using enhanced sampling methods. In particular, we calculate entropic and enthalpic contributions to the conformational free energy landscape of isolated MIL-101(Cr) half-SBUs, in water, in the presence and absence of ionic species (Na<sup>+</sup> and F<sup>-</sup>), and in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF). We find that the interplay between enthalpy and entropy determines the most probable conformational state for half-SBUs. Furthermore, we investigate the role of enthalpy and entropy in the conformational rearrangement of an SBU in water, noting that entropic contributions are essential to stabilize configurations that depart from those coherent with the MIL-101(Cr) crystal structure. Our analysis highlights the importance of explicitly considering entropic effects on the configurational ensembles of MOF building units, as such effects can significantly impact the relative stability of structurally different conformers, which ultimately can be responsible for the formation of defects during materials synthesis.
