The kinetics of the oxidation of 2-propanol, 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-propanol, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol, 1-phenyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, 1-(4-methylphenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, 1-(3-bromophenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, and 1-(3-nitrophenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol by potassium tetraoxoferrate(VI) have been studied under basic conditions. The products are ketones, formed in almost quantitative yields, iron(III) hydroxide, and dioxygen. The reactions are characterized by substantial enthalpies of activation (40–60 kJ/mol), very unfavorable entropies of activation, large primary deuterium isotope effects, and a positive Hammett ρ value. Both acid and base catalysis are observed. Acid catalysis is attributed to formation of a more reactive oxidant, HFeO4−, at low pH. Base catalysis is attributed partly to the conversion of the reductants to alkoxide ions at high pH, and partly to the reaction of hydroxide ion with tetraoxoferrate(VI) to give a five-coordinated species, HOFeO43−, that reacts rapidly with nucleophiles. A reaction mechanism involving formation of an intermediate ferrate ester is proposed. Keywords: oxidation, alcohols, potassium tetraoxoferrate(VI), ferrate esters, base catalysis, acid catalysis.

Acid And Base

The slopes of the pH-rate profiles for the cyclization of 2-methyl- and 2,3-dimethyl hydantoates 1-NPU and 2-NPU between pH 1 and 7 change from 1 to 0 and then back to 1. A reaction first order in H+ was observed with the latter compound. The 2,2,3-trimethyl derivative 3-NPU showed only one reaction first order in OH-, but complex acid catalysis is described by slopes 0, -1, 0, and finally -1 again. The cyclizations were general base catalyzed, with Brønsted β values of 0.5-0.6. The OH- catalysis at higher pH for 1-NPU and 2-NPU showed inverse solvent kinetic isotope effects and deviated from the Brønsted relationships, while that for 3-NPU showed a normal effect and complied with the Brønsted relationship. The accelerations due to the gem-dimethyl effect were lost with the OH- and general base-catalyzed reactions of 3-NPU. This behaviour is due to a change from the rate-determining formation of the tetrahedral intermediate with 1-NPU and 2-NPU to the rate-determining breakdown with 3-NPU, due to steric hindrance to protonation of the leaving ethoxy group. The OH- reaction at higher pH involves attack of the ureide anion with 1-NPU and 2- NPU, becoming concerted with deprotonation when catalyzed by general bases and changing to acid inhibition of the anion of the tetrahedral intermediate at low pH. With 3-NPU at higher pH, T- is in equilibrium and the conjugate acids of the general bases accelerate its breakdown by protonating the ethoxy group. Acid catalysis of the cyclization of 3-NPU at higher pH is also protonation of the leaving group from T0 changing to the rate-determining formation of T at lower pH. The latter mechanism is preferred for the cyclization of 2-NPU.Key words: gem-dimethyl effect, mechanism, general base catalysis, proton transfer, steric hindrance.

Hydroxybenzyl Alcohol

Competitive hydration and isomerisation of the quinone methide I at 25 °C in an aqueous medium in the region of pH 2.4-13.0 was studied spectrophotometrically. The only reaction products in the studied range of pH are 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (II) and 4-hydroxystyrene (III). The form of the overall rate equation corresponds to a general acid-base catalysis. The mechanism of both reactions for three markedly separated pH regions is discussed on the basis of kinetic data and solvent deuterium effect.

Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor

The kinetics of oxygen evolution on warming the trapped products (at −196 °C) from water or hydrogen peroxide vapor dissociated in a glow discharge were studied by the manometric method. Under closely controlled conditions it was possible to distinguish clearly the decomposition of the two intermediates, H2O3 and H2O4. The latter begins to decompose measurably following crystallization of the glassy solid at about −115°; the trioxide decomposes readily between −50 and −35°. Typically, the yields of H2O3 from dissociated water vapor were of the order of 3 to 5 mol%; those of H2O4, only about one-tenth as much. Varying the distance between the microwave discharge and the cold trap was found to affect differently the yields of the various products. Those of water and peroxide showed a simple, direct correlation; the minor constituents H2O3 and H2O4 followed entirely different patterns. Only a small fraction of the peroxide is formed via the H2O4 intermediate in these systems. Less water, and more of the higher oxides, were obtained from dissociated hydrogen peroxide than from water vapor.The deuterated systems showed some unusual isotope effects. The yields of D2O3 were always higher (up to twice and even more) than those of H2O3 under similar conditions. The other products showed little or no such effect, except for occluded oxygen and ozone which decreased by about half. Finally, the deuterium polyoxides decompose at slightly higher temperatures (10 to 15°) than their hydrogen analogs. Mechanisms are proposed for the formation and decomposition of the polyoxides.

Acid And Base Catalysis

The methanolysis and hydrolysis kinetics have been studied with the following sulfuric diamide derivatives: N-methyl-N-phenyl- (IIIa), N-methyl-N-(4-methoxycarbonylphenyl)- (IIIb), N-(4-methoxycarbonylphenyl)- (IIIc), N-methyl-N-(2-methoxycarbonylphenyl)- (IIId), N-(2-methoxycarbonylphenyl)- (IIIe), and N-methyl-N-(2,4-dibromophenyl)- (IIIf). The solvolyses of the neutral substrates IIIa and IIIb proceed by the addition-elimination mechanism. In the presence of the solvent lyate ions the solvolyses go by the E1cb mechanism. The solvolyses of the conjugated bases of compounds IIIa and IIIb are subject to general acid catalysis, the effects of the ring substituents being opposite to those in the addition-elimination mechanism. The solvolyses of compounds IIId and IIIf exhibit a distinct catalytic effect of neighbouring group; the reaction goes via a reactive intermediate, the transformation of the intermediate into the solvolysis product being subject to general acid and base catalysis.

Kinetics Of

The kinetics of the formation and decomposition of the pseudobases from the 2-methyl-4-nitroisoquinolinium, 10-methylacridinium, and 10-methyl-9-phenylacridinium ions have been studied. The pH–rate profiles of these reactions indicate that for each of these ions, pseudobase formation may kinetically involve either attack of a water molecule or of hydroxide ion on the heterocyclic cation depending upon the pH of the reaction. Pseudobase decomposition to the cation may occur through either the neutral or protonated pseudobase species or their kinetic equivalents. The temperature dependences of the equilibrium and kinetics are reported for each ion, and deuterium isotope effects for the reactions of the 2-methyl-4-nitroisoquinolinium ion have been measured. Possible mechanisms for the reactions are discussed on the basis of the observed activation parameters and isotope effects and are compared with related reactions.
