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.

Mechanism Of The Reaction

The reaction between 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1,1-trifluoroethane and the alkoxide bases ŌCH3, ŌC2H5, ŌnC4H9, ŌCH(CH3)2, and ŌC(CH3)3 in their corresponding alcohol solvents is a multistep reaction with several intermediates: 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1-difluoro-1-alkoxyethane (A), 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1-fluoro-1-alkoxyethene (B), 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1-dialkoxyethene (C), 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1-difluoroethene (D), and 4,4′-dinitrobenzophene (E). Rate constants and activation parameters have been measured for the appearance of the two stable products B and C. The kinetic deuterium isotope effects for the appearance of B fell in the range of kH/kD = 1 to 2 at 25 °C for the primary and secondary alkoxides, whereas kH/kD = 5.4 at 30 °C for the appearance of D with tert-butoxide. Exchange experiments showed that H/D exchange took place between the substrate and solvent to the extent of 100% with methoxide, 50% with ethoxide and isopropoxide, and 0% with tert-butoxide. It is concluded the HF elimination from the substrate follows an (ElcB)R mechanism with methoxide/methanol, changing to (ElcB)I or E2 with tert-butoxide/tert-butanol.

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.
