The synthesis of symmetric α-free meso-H-dipyrrin hydrobromides from 5-H-2-formyl pyrroles was investigated. The self-condensation produces regioisomeric dipyrrins through adoption of two mechanistic pathways. The key difference between the two pathways lies in which position of the pyrrole directs nucleophilic attack. Through a systematic study involving various substituted and (or) isotopically labelled 5-H-2-formyl pyrroles, we herein provide evidence to suggest that not only do two mechanistic pathways exist, but the steric bulk of the substituent adjacent to the 5-unsubstituted position influences which pathway dominates.

Alkyl Substituent

A systematic study of the diastereoselective alkylation of anions derived from racemic N-substituted P-alkyl 1,3,2-diazaphosphorinane 2-oxides was carried out with variation of the N-substituent. High diastereoselectivity for the methylation of a P-benzyl anion has been achieved with N-neopentyl derivative 5d. Similarly, a P-ethyl anion derived from N-neopentyl derivative 6d showed high diastereoselectivity upon benzylation. The observed difference in alkylation diastereoselectivity between P-ethyl and P-benzyl anions for various N-alkyl substituents is discussed.Key words: phosphonamide-stabilized carbanions, alkylation, asymmetric, stereoselective, organolitihium.

<p>Photobases are compounds which become strong bases after electronic excitaton into a charge-transfer excited state. Recent experimental studies have highlighted the photobasicity of the 5-R quinoline compounds, demonstrating a strong substituent dependence to the pK<sub>a</sub><sup>*</sup>. Here we describe our systematic study of how the photobasicity of four families of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic aromatics are tuned through substituents. We show that substituent position and identity both significantly impact the pK<sub>a</sub><sup>*</sup>. We demonstrate that the substituent effects are additive and identify many disubstituted compounds with substantially greater photobasicity than the most photobasic 5-R quinoline compound identified previously. We show that the addition of a second fused benzene ring to quinoline, along with two electron-donating substituents, lowers the vertical excitation energy into the visible while still maintaining a pK<sub>a</sub><sup>*</sup> > 14. Overall, the structure-function relationships developed in this study provide new insights to guide the development of new photocatalysts that employ photobasicity. </p>

Leaving Group

Mercaptide anions react with chlorinated sulfones in two modes, i.e. nucleophilic attack on carbon with chlorine as the leaving group and/or nucleophilic attack on chlorine with concomitant carbanion formation. Mercaptide anion pKb, degree of chlorination of the sulfone substrate, and substituent effects are qualitatively assessed in terms of the propensity for nucleophilic attack at carbon or chlorine.

Arrhenius Parameters

Absolute rate constants for the reaction of a series of ring-substituted 1,1 -diphenylsilene derivatives with methanol, tert-butanol, and acetic acid in acetonitrile solution have been determined using nanosecond laser flash photolysis techniques. The three reactions exhibit small positive Hammett ρ-values at 23 °C, consistent with a mechanism involving initial, reversible nucleophilic attack at silicon to form a σ-bonded complex that collapses to product via rate-limiting proton transfer. Deuterium kinetic isotope effects and Arrhenius parameters have been determined for the reactions of 1,1-di-(4-methylphenyl)silene and 1,1-di-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)silene with methanol, and are compared to those for the parent compound. Proton transfer within the complex is dominated by entropic factors, resulting in negative activation energies for reaction. The trends in the data can be rationalized in terms of variations in the relative rate constants for reversion to reactants and proton transfer as a function of temperature and substituent. A comparison of the Arrhenius activation energies for reaction of acetic acid with 1,1-diphenylsilene (Ea = +1.9 ± 0.3 kcal/mol) and the more reactive di-trifluoromethyl analogue (Ea = +3.6 ± 0.5 kcal/mol) suggests that carboxylic acids also add by a stepwise mechanism, but with formation of the complex being rate determining. Keywords: silene, substituent effects, kinetics, Arrhenius, flash photolysis.
