The addition of benzeneselenenyl chloride to 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran in methylene chloride at 25 °C gives 65% of the trans and 35% of the cis Markownikoff adduct: 2-chloro-3-phenylseleno-tetrahydropyran under conditions of kinetic control. The above reaction was observed to be reversible, the adducts subsequently reacting with the benzeneselenenyl chloride under conditions similar to those used for the reaction with 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran to give diphenyl diselenide and 2,3-dichlorotetrahydropyran in good yield. There was no evidence for the formation of 3-chloro-2-phenylselenotetrahydropyran under conditions of either kinetic or thermodynamic control. Kinetic studies support a mechanism involving a seleniranium ion that opens to an oxacarbonium ion before the product determining step.

The reaction of several substituted o- nitronitrosobenzenes with O- and p- anisidine , and 2,4- dimethoxyaniline in acetic acid gives in good yield the corresponding enitroazobenzenes which are readily reduced with thiourea dioxide ( formamidinesulfinic acid) to the corresponding 2-(methoxypheny1)-2H-benzotriazoles, demethylation of which furnished the corresponding 2- (hydroxypheny1)-2H-benzotriazoles. Demethylation of the dimethoxy derivatives was best accomplished with boron tribromide in methylene chloride, the methoxy group located ortho to the benzotriazole ring being demethylated more readily than is the para-methoxy group. The reaction of enitroazobenzenes containing a methoxy group with hydrobromic acid in acetic acid results in cleavage of the azo bond and also partial bromination to give o- nitroaniline and some of its brominated derivatives.

The reaction of secondary amines, namely 1-methylpiperazine, pyrrolidine, morpholine, 2-methylpiperidine, and diethylamine, with maleic anhydride has been investigated experimentally and theoretically at the DFT level. Under kinetic control, i.e. at −78°C or −15°C, amines add across the C=O functionality exclusively and the initially formed addition products isomerize to the corresponding N-substituted maleimic acid derivatives. In contrast to the acyclic α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, amine does not add across the C=C functionality in maleic anhydride even under thermodynamic control. This behaviour of maleic anhydride can be rationalized on the basis of the local condensed Fukui functions, which reveal that the carbonyl carbon atoms in maleic anhydride are much harder than in an acyclic α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, such as acrolein. This prompts the amines to attack the carbonyl group in maleic anhydride exclusively.

The reaction of benzeneselenenyl chloride with twenty-two propargyl alcohols in methylene chloride solution is reported. Products of both Markownikoff and anti-Markownikoff regiochemistry are formed in an anti stereospecific manner. The regioselectivity or specificity is found to be very dependent upon the nature of the substituents geminal to the alcoholic moiety. In general the presence of bulky substituents geminal to the alcoholic moiety tend to favour formation of the anti-Markownikoff adduct under conditions of kinetic control. The Markownikoff adducts are found to be favoured thermodynamically.

Asymmetric synthesis of helicenes and their congeners has been demonstrated to rely either on enantioselective Ni0/PR3*-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloisomerization of triynes or on diastereoselective CoI-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloisomerization of chiral triynes. The former approach providing tetrahydrohelicenes in a nonracemic form requires further development as moderate enantioselectivities (up to 54 % ee) have so far been achieved under kinetic control. The latter approach affording helicene-like structures in a diastereomerically enriched form allows for reaching good to excellent diastereoselectivities (up to 100:0) under thermodynamic control.

This paper provides information about theoretical investigations of structures of onium-boronium dications X+BH3+, X+BH5+; (X= NH3, PH3, H2O, H2S) and some reactions of them in thermodynamic control and kinetic control. Two kinds of reactions studied are complexation of onium-boronium dications X+BH3+ with H2 leading to X+BH5+ and deprotonation of X+BH5+ to give X+BH4. The similar studies with boronium ion analog BH4+ and BH6+ is carried out and results obtained pointed out that the eletrophility of onium-boronium dications is more stronger than that of boronium ion: onium-boronium dications X+BH3+, X+BH5+ are superelectrophiles. The structures of onium-boronium dications and boronium ions are optimized by using ab initio methods at the MP2/6-311+G** level of Gaussian 03W, revision B.04 and represented with Gaussview 3.0. Frequency calculation is performed to assure the obtained structures corresponding to minimun energies and have no any imaginary frequency. The transition structures are calculated and verified due to Intrinsic Reaction Coordinate Calculations. The properties of structures, as MP2 energy, Gibbs free energy, activation energy are also examined.

Experimental and DFT studies show the selectivity of C–H bond activation at [MCl2Cp*]2 (M = Ir, Rh) species can be controlled by the choice of metal catalyst, reflecting kinetic control at M = Ir and thermodynamic control at M = Rh.

The effect of a variable stoichiometry of the carbohydrate fermentation process in the IWA Anaerobic Digestion Model No.1 (ADM1) is investigated. Most existing anaerobic digestion models including ADM1 consider a fixed-stoichiometry for their conversion processes. The ADM1 model was first transformed into an only mol based model to remove some errors derived from the mixed COD-mol based standard model and to allow for implementation of the variable stoichiometry. Consequently, the values of the butyrate and acetate catabolic yields of carbohydrate fermentation are made dependent on the hydrogen concentration and the reactor pH according to the predictions of a recently developed mixed culture fermentation model based on thermodynamic considerations. The simulation results obtained showed no significantly different responses in terms of effluent quality and system robustness between the standard and the variable stoichiometry ADM1 under overload conditions, and for both single- and two-step anaerobic digestion configurations. This behaviour is explained by the non-limiting acetogenic activity that compensated for the changes in the acidogenic products, typical behaviour for serial processes close to equilibrium. Based on the results obtained, thermodynamic rather than kinetic control for these conversions is suggested. Depending on the objectives to be met, lumping of carbohydrate fermenters and oxidative acetogens into a single biomass group with a variable stoichiometry is proposed for further consideration.

<p><i>Typically, reversible catalytic reactions operate under thermodynamic control and thus establishing a selective catalytic system poses a considerable challenge. In this manuscript, we report a reversible yet kinetically selective transfer hydrocyanation protocol. Selectivity is achieved by exploiting the lower barrier for C–CN oxidative addition and reductive elimination at benzylic positions in the absence of co-catalytic Lewis acid. The design of a novel type of HCN donor was crucial to realizing this practical, branched-selective, HCN-free transfer hydrocyanation. The synthetically useful resolution of a mixture of branched and linear nitrile isomers was also demonstrated to underline the value of reversible and selective transfer reactions. In a broader context, this work demonstrates that high kinetic selectivity can be achieved in reversible transfer reactions, thus opening new horizons for their synthetic applications.</i></p>
