Quantum Mechanical Study

This work involves the experimental and theoretical study of the nucleophilic substitution of meta- and para-substituted benzyl bromides with benzylamine. Conductometric rate experiments confirm the applicability of the Hammett linear free-energy relationship to this system. To gain a deep understanding of the physical chemistry at play, a quantum mechanical study of the reaction is also conducted. The quantum mechanical calculations not only reproduce the experimental free energy of activation, but also provide greater insights at the molecular and atomic level. Isolation of the calculated transition state structure and application of the Hammett equation to its electronic, structural, and energetic properties are studied.

The Difference

1-Methylpiperazine was coupled with a series of diazonium salts to afford the 1-methyl-4-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]piperazines (2), a new series of triazenes, which have been characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Assignment of the chemical shifts to specific protons and carbons in the piperazine ring was facilitated by comparison with the chemical shifts in the model compounds piperazine and 1-methylpiperazine and by a HETCOR experiment with the p-tolyl derivative (2i). A DEPT experiment with 1-methylpiperazine (6) was necessary to distinguish the methyl and methylene groups in 6, and a HETCOR spectrum of 6 enabled the correlation of proton and carbon chemical shifts. Line broadening of the signals from the ring methylene protons is attributed to restricted rotation around the N2-N3 bond of the triazene moiety in 2. The second series of triazenes, the ethyl 4-[2-phenyl-1-diazenyl]-1-piperazinecarboxylates (3), have been prepared by similar diazonium coupling to ethyl 1-piperazinecarboxylate and were similarly characterized. The chemical shifts of the piperazine ring protons are much closer together in series 3 than in series 2, resulting in distortion of the multiplets for these methylenes. It was noticed that the difference between these chemical shifts in 3 exhibited a linear free energy relationship with the Hammett substituent constants for the substituents in the aryl ring. Key words: triazene, piperazine, diazonium coupling, NMR, HETCOR, linear free energy relationship.

Abstract Flash photolysis of a series of 2-phenylindandione-1,3 derivatives substituted in the 4′ position results in both the formation of stable benzylidenephthalides and of phenylindan-1,3-dion-2-yl radicals. The u. v. absorption maxima of these radicals are dependent on the solvent and show a bathochromic shift upon substitution. These substitution effects were correlated by means of a linear free energy relationship. Attempts were made to draw conclusions concerning the changes in the gap of the states involved and their curvature due to substitution.

Enthalpy And Entropy

Using Transition-State Theory, experimental rate constants, determined over a range of temperatures, for reactions of vitamin E type antioxidants are analysed in terms of their enthalpies and entropies of activation. It is further shown that computational methods may be employed to calculate enthalpies and entropies, and hence Gibbs Free Energies, for the overall reactions. Within the Linear Free Energy Relationship (LFER) assumption, that the Gibbs Free Energy of activation is proportional to the overall Gibbs Free Energy change for the reaction, it is possible to rationalise, and even to predict, the relative contributions of enthalpy and entropy for reactions of interest, involving potential antioxidants.
