Catalysed Reaction

Oxidative decarboxylation of 2,3,3-trimethylbutanoic acid with lead tetraacetate in benzene or acetic acid affords mainly 3,3-dimethylbut-2-yl acetate; the major product from the cupric salt catalysed reaction is 3,3-dimethylbut-1-ene. The low yields detected of rearrangement products provide evidence for the intermediacy of organolead and organocopper compounds which decompose by SNi displacement or cyclic cis-elimination. Other reactions discussed are oxidative decarboxylation of adamantane-2-carboxylic acid, deamination of 3,3-dimethylbut-2-ylamine, and thermolysis of bis(2,3,3-trimethylbutanoyl) peroxide and of t-butyl adamantane-2-percarboxylate. A reinterpretation of previous results on the oxidative decarboxylation of exo- and endo-nor- bornane-2-carboxylic acid with lead tetraacetate is presented.

Treatment of methyl hydrogen decahydro-1,4:5,8-exo,endo-dimethanonaphthalene-4a,8a-dicarboxylate with lead tetraacetate in benzene – acetic acid replaces the carboxyl group by an acetoxy group. Hydrolysis of this product with 25% sulfuric acid at 130 °C forms 8a-hydroxydecahydro-1,4:5,8-exo,endo-dimethanonaphthalene-4a-carboxylic acid 10. The reaction between 10 and benzenesulfonyl chloride in pyridine containing triethylamine at 95 °C produces anti-sesquinorbornene 1 in 34% yield. In the absence of triethylamine 1 is converted to the hydrochloride. The iodohydroperoxide of 1 is converted by silver acetate at 0 °C to the diketone in a luminescent reaction. The 1,2-dioxetane could not be isolated. Decahydro-1,4:5,8-exo,exo-dimethanonaphthalene-4a,8a-dicarboxylic anhydride is converted slowly by methoxide ion in methanol at 150 °C to the monomethyl ester which then undergoes demethylation. The isomeric exo,endo anhydride undergoes reaction readily with methoxide ion at 80 °C.

The present work describing the electronic properties and vibrational characteristics of carboxylic acids. Acetic acid is chosen as model molecules then optimized at B3LYP/6-31g(d,p) level of theory. The vibrational frequencies were calculated at the same level of theory. Band assignments which were calculated as 18 normal modes were assigned as one compare the normal mode coordinates with original one. Band assignments were described indicating the directions of normal modes in terms the vibrating atoms of the acetic acids. It could be concluded that DFT could be a useful tool for elucidation both the structural and vibrational features of carboxylic acids and then further utilized for assignment of the structures contains carboxyl groups which are known as most reactive structures in chemistry, biology and environment.

The mixtures of isomeric acetates produced by oxidative decarboxylation of the four 3-methyl-norbornane-2-carboxylic acids with lead tetraacetate in benzene have been characterized. The composition of these products depends primarily on the configuration of the methyl group in the starting material. The results are compared with those found for the Pb(OAc)4 decarboxylation of the norbornane-, bornane-, and 2,3,3-trimethylnorbornane-2-carboxylic acids. The formation of the products is interpreted in terms of competitive cationic and SNi substitution.

1-Methoxy-2-methyl-1,4-cyclohexadiene (3), 2-methoxy-1-methyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene (2), and 2-methoxy-1,5,5-trimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene (14) on heating with maleic anhydride give 1-methoxy-endo-7-methylbicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-syn-2,3-dicarboxylic acid anhydride (7) and its 6-methoxy-1-methyl (16a) and 6-methoxy-1,8,8-trimethyl (16b) analogues, respectively. On hydrolysis 16a and 16b give the corresponding keto dicarboxylic acids, 18a and 18b, via keto anhydrides 17a and 17b. Treatment of 18b with lead tetraacetate gives 1,8,8-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-en-2-one (19) together with products in which rearrangement to a bicyclo[3.2.1]octane system has occurred. Treatment of 17b with bis(triphenylphosphino)nickel dicarbonyl gives only 19; similar treatment of 17a gives 1-methylbicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-en-2-one (1). Reaction of bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2,3-dione (27) with methyllithium gives 3-hydroxy-3-methylbicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-one (28), its dimer 31, and a diol 30. Treatment of 5-exo-acetoxy-1, 5-endo-dimethyl-6-oxobicyclo[2.2.2]octane-anti-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (37) with lead tetraacetate gives 3-endo-acetoxy-1,3-exo-dimethyl-bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-en-2-one (33) as a minor product; the major product is derived by rearrangement to a bicyclo[3.2.1]octane system. It is proposed that this rearrangement, like that of 18b, involves oxidative decarboxylation of a single carboxylic acid group to give a carbonium ion that undergoes rearrangement via a 1,2-acyl migration.

The oxidative decarboxylation of exo- and endo-bornane-2-carboxylic acid, exo- and endo-2,3,3- trimethylnorbornane-2-carboxylic acid and a-campholenylcarboxylic acid [3-(2',2',3'-trimethyl- cyclopent-3'-eny1)propanoic acid] with lead tetraacetate in benzene and dimethyl sulphoxide (each containing pyridine) in the presence, and absence, of cupric acetate has been investigated. The mode of formation of almost all the products can be satisfactorily rationalized in terms of the initial generation of radicals. In the case of exo- and endo-bornane-2-carboxylic acid, the derived bornyl radical forms organolead and organocopper derivatives that decompose in three ways: (1) by heterolysis by the direct route to give the equilibrating isobornyl and camphenehydro cations, (2) by a cyclic cis-elimination to give bornylene and (3) by an SNi process to give isobornyl and bornyl acetates. exo- and endo-2,3,3-Trimethylnorbornane-2-carboxylic acid yield the 2,3,3-trimethyl- norborn-2-yl radical which is converted into the equilibrating camphenehydro and isobornyl cations either by one-electron oxidation by lead species or via organolead or organocopper derivatives which undergo heterolysis. Processes involving cyclic cis-elimination and SNi substitution may also operate in the organometallic derivatives derived from the tertiary radical. a-Campholenylcarboxylic acid yields the a-campholenyl radical which, in the absence of cupric acetate, undergoes in the main cyclization to give the 2,3,3-trimethylnorbornyl radical. The resulting mixture of products is similar to that obtained from exo- and endo-2,3,3-trimethylnorbornane-2- carboxylic acid. In the presence of cupric acetate, the a-campholenyl radical is trapped at least to the extent of 50% in benzene and 80% in dimethyl sulphoxide to give the corresponding organo- copper derivative which undergoes a cyclic elimination to give 2,3,3-trimethyl-4-vinylcyclopentene and may undergo heterolysis by the x-route to give the camphenehydro and isobornyl cations. A marked change in the composition of the products on changing the solvent from benzene to dimethyl sulphoxide is observed only in the case of a-campholenylcarboxylic acid in the presence of cupric acetate.

A series of molecular adducts of 2-aminopyrimidine and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole with heterocyclic carboxylic acids have been prepared and characterized by using X-ray powder diffraction and in four cases by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. These four compounds are the (1 : 1) adducts of 2-aminopyrimidine with indole-3-acetic acid [(C4H5N3)(C10H9NO2)], N-methylpyrrole-2-carboxylic acid [(C4H5N3)(C6H7NO2)] and thiophen-2-carboxylic acid [(C4H5N3)(C5H4O2S)], and the (1 : 1) adduct of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole with thiophen-2-carboxylic acid [(C2H4N4)(C5H4O2S)]. Other compounds described are the (1 : 1) adducts of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole with indole-3-acetic acid and N-methylpyrrole-2-carboxylic acid.

Lead Species

The reactions of cis- and trans-decalin-9-carboxylic acid, 2,2,3-trimethylbutanoic acid, and adamantane-1-carboxylic acid with lead tetraacetate in benzene and, in some cases, acetic acid have been studied. In each case the nature and distribution of the products is consistent with the hypothesis that the reaction mechanism involves the initial generation of tertiary radicals which are subsequently converted into the related cations either by one-electron oxidation by lead species, or via organolead intermediates which undergo heterolysis. The change in product distribution which occurs when the reactions are conducted in the presence of copper salts indicates that tertiary radicals react rapidly with cupric species to afford organocopper intermediates from which olefins are derived by a cis-elimination process, and acetates by SNi or heterolytic mechanisms.

Acetic Acids

Substituted acetic acids can be prepared in good yield (50–80%) from terminal acetylenes of the same chain length. The alkyne is first converted to the thiophenyl ether, which is treated without purification with mercuric sulfate in acetic acid and 2 N sulfuric acid affording the carboxylic acid. The method is particularly useful in the synthesis of long chain ω-hydroxyalkanoic acids.
