Transient Intermediates

A computational study at correlated levels of theory is reported to address the structures and energetics of transient radicals produced by hydrogen atom abstraction from C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, C-5, O-1, O-3, and O-5 positions in 2-deoxyribofuranose in the gas phase and in aqueous solution. In general, the carbon-centered radicals are found to be thermodynamically and kinetically more stable than the oxygen-centered ones. The most stable gas-phase radical, 2-deoxyribofuranos-5-yl (5), is produced by H-atom abstraction from C-5 and stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the O-5 hydroxy group and O-1. The order of radical stabilities is altered in aqueous solution due to different solvation free energies. These prefer conformers that lack intramolecular hydrogen bonds and expose O-H bonds to the solvent. Carbon-centered deoxyribose radicals can undergo competitive dissociations by loss of H atoms, OH radical, or by ring cleavages that all require threshold dissociation or transition state energies >100 kJ mol-1. This points to largely non-specific dissociations of 2-deoxyribose radicals when produced by exothermic hydrogen atom abstraction from the saccharide molecule. Oxygen-centered 2-deoxyribose radicals show only marginal thermodynamic and kinetic stability and are expected to readily fragment upon formation.

Analogous Formula

Equilibrium constants for hydrate–hemiacetal interconversion in aqueous solution at 25° have been measured for four fluorinated carbonyl compounds: compound, alcohol, K4 (M−1): CF3CHO, C2H5OH, 2.3; CF3COCH3, CH3OH, 1.0; CF3COPh, CH3OH, 3.5; CF3COCF3, CH3OH, 0.14. These values, combined with values from the literature, permit an examination of substituent effects upon the equilibrium constant for[Formula: see text]The free energy change for this process, corrected for symmetry and steric effects, follows the equation[Formula: see text]Thus electronic effects upon this equilibrium are generally small and in fact are often smaller than steric effects.This analysis permits and justifies the calculation of free energies of formation of [Formula: see text] compounds from the (more generally measurable) free energies of formation of the analogous [Formula: see text] compounds.

Acid Ionizations

Calorimetric measurements have led to ΔH0 values for ionization of nitromethane, nitroethane, 1-nitropropane, and 2-nitropropane in aqueous solution at 298°K. Combinations of these enthalpies with free energies from equilibrium constants for ionization have led to ΔS0 values for the ionization reactions. It is noted that the trend toward decreasing pK with methyl substitution in nitroalkanes is unusual compared to phenols and carboxylic acids. Similarly, correlations of ΔS0 with ΔG0 and ΔH0 are different for nitroalkanes than for other acids.

Free Energies

Group contributions have been determined allowing the calculation of free energies of formation in aqueous solution for organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The system works well for monofunctional compounds. The available literature data for 198 compounds can be accommodated using 79 parameters with an rms deviation of 0.74 kcal/mol.

Binding Regions

The electrostatic binding of Na+ and K+ by fulvic acid in aqueous solution has been measured with cation electrodes at 25.00 °C ± 0.05. The binding equilibria were followed during the course of acid–base titrations, and have revealed distinct binding regions in the titration curves. In one of these regions Na+ is more strongly bound than is K+. The standard free energies of binding were 11.7 × 103 to 20.5 × 103 J/mol ± 2% for Na+, and 11.5 × 103 to 17.8 × 103 J/mol ± 1%, for K+.
