The Claisen-like condensation of a series of 1-arylacetyl-6-acetyl-3,4,7,8-tetramethylglycolurils (Ar = Ph, p-OMeC6H4, and p-ClC6H4) was studied in preparative experiments and by analysis of kinetic data. The reactions proceeded in virtually quantitative yield and were highly regioselective: the corresponding N-(2′-aryl-3′-ketobutanoyl)-3,4,7,8-tetramethylglycolurils were obtained in all cases, with none of the 4′-aryl regioisomers being detected. Clean bimolecular kinetics were observed for each conversion using UV spectroscopy. Reaction rates followed the order Ar = p-OMeC6H4 < Ph < p-ClC6H4. The results are explained by a mechanism in which the deprotonation of the substrates is rate-limiting; thus, deprotonation of the arylacetyl groups is favoured. The ensuing enolate reacts rapidly in the C–C bond-forming step.Key words: glycoluril, biomimetic, Claisen condensation, regioselectivity, kinetics, mechanism, substituent effects.

H-phosphonates, H-phosphinates and secondary phosphine oxides may be preligands, and are important building blocks in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and P-ligands. The prototropic tautomerism influenced by substituent effects plays an important role in the reactivity of these species. The main goal of our research was to study the tautomerism of the >P(O)H reagents by means of computational investigations applying several DFT methods at different levels. We focused on the effect of implicit solvents, and on explaining the observed trends with physical chemical molecular descriptors. In addition, multiple reaction pathways incorporating three P-molecules were elucidated for the mechanism of the interconversion.

<p>Phosphate esters have a wide range of industrial applications, for example in tribology where they are used as vapour phase lubricants and antiwear additives. To rationally design phosphate esters with improved tribological performance, an atomic-level understanding of their film formation mechanisms is required. One important aspect is the thermal decomposition of phosphate esters on steel surfaces, since this initiates film formation. In this study, ReaxFF molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the thermal decomposition of phosphate esters with different substituents on several ferrous surfaces. On Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>(001) and α-Fe(110), chemisorption interactions between the phosphate esters and the surfaces occur even at room temperature, and the number of molecule-surface bonds increases as the temperature is increased from 300 to 1000 K. Conversely, on hydroxylated, amorphous Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>, most of the molecules are physisorbed, even at high temperature. Thermal decomposition rates were much higher on Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>(001) and particularly α-Fe(110) compared to hydroxylated, amorphous Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>. This suggests that water passivates ferrous surfaces and inhibits phosphate ester chemisorption, decomposition, and ultimately film formation. On Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>(001), thermal decomposition proceeds mainly through C-O cleavage (to form surface alkyl and aryl groups) and C-H cleavage (to form surface hydroxyls). The onset temperature for C-O cleavage on Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>(001) increases in the order: tertiary alkyl < secondary alkyl < primary linear alkyl ≈ primary branched alkyl < aryl. This order is in agreement with experimental observations for the thermal stability of antiwear additives with similar substituents. The results highlight surface and substituent effects on the thermal decomposition of phosphate esters which should be helpful for the design of new molecules with improved performance.</p>
