The oxidation of various diazirines by m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid as well as the activation parameters for these reactions have been investigated. The oxidation products and the information derived from kinetic studies indicate that the oxidation does not take place on the diazirine ring as expected but rather on the decomposition products of the diazirines. The oxidation products obtained are shown to be characteristic of the diazirine decomposition by carbenic and diazo pathways and thus the measurement of the oxidation products provides a measure of the partitioning of the two reaction pathways for diazirine decomposition.

AbstractThe effects of physical properties and molecular conformation on the thermal decomposition kinetics of several cyclic nitramines are examined and compared to the decomposition of RDX. The compounds used in the study are: octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro- 1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX), hexahydro-l-nitroso-3,5-dinitro-s-triazine (ONDNTA), 1,3,5- trinitro- 1,3,5-triazacycloheptane (TNCHP), and 2-oxo-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (K6). The decomposition pathways of HMX in the liquid phase are similar to the four parallel decomposition pathways that control the decomposition of RDX in the liquid phase. The products formed during the thermal decomposition of ONDNTA arise from multiple reaction pathways. The identities and temporal behaviors of the ONDNTA decomposition products are discussed. TNCHP is thermally stable in the liquid phase. The decomposition products from TNCHP are formed via multiple reaction pathways. One decomposition pathway for TNCHP is through its mononitroso intermediate. TNCHP does not form a stable product that is analogous to oxy-s-triazine (OST) formed in RDX or the smaller ring fragments formed in the liquid-phase decomposition of HMX. K6 is less thermally stable and the decomposition mechanism is much simpler than that of RDX, HMX and TNCHP. The thermal decomposition of K6 occurs between 150 and 180 °C. The products formed during the decomposition of K6 are mainly CH2O and N2O with minor amounts or HCN, CO, NO, and NO2.

The reactivity of the base induced cyclodimerization of 1-(6-arylpyridazin-3-yl)-3-oxidopyridinium chlorides in a pericyclic process have been investigated kinetically at λ 380 nm. The reaction was found to be second order with respect to the liberated betaine and zero order with respect to the base. On the other hand dedimerization (monomer formation) was found to be first order. It was shown that dimerization is favoured at low temperature, whereas dedimerization process is favoured at relatively high temperature (ca 70 °C). Solvent effects on the reaction rate have been found to follow the order ethanol > chloroform ≈ 1,2-dichloroethane. Complete dissociation was accomplished only in 1,2-dichloroethane at ca 70 °C. The thermodynamic activation parameters have been calculated by a standard method. Thus, ∆G# has been found to be independent on substituents and solvents. The high negative values of ∆S# supports the cyclic transition state which is in favour with the concerted mechanism. MO calculations using SCF-PPP approximation method indicated low HOMO-LUMO energy gap of the investigated betaines.

Reactions of aryl 1-(2,4-dinitronaphthyl) ethers with piperidine in dimethyl sulfoxide at 25oC resulted in substitution of the aryloxy group at the ipso carbon atom. The reaction was measured spectrophotochemically and the kinetic studies suggested that the titled reaction is accurately third order. The mechanism is began by fast nucleophilic attack of piperidine on C1 to form zwitterion intermediate (I) followed by deprotonation of zwitterion intermediate (I) to the Meisenheimer ion (II) in a slow step, that is, SB catalysis. The regular variation of activation parameters suggested that the reaction proceeded through a common mechanism. The Hammett equation using reaction constant σo values and Brønsted coefficient value showed that the reaction is poorly dependent on aryloxy substituent and the reaction was significantly associative and Meisenheimer intermediate-like. The mechanism of piperidinolysis has been theoretically investigated using density functional theory method using B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) computational level. The combination between experimental and computational studies predicts what mechanism is followed either through uncatalyzed or catalyzed reaction pathways, that is, SB and SB-GA. The global parameters of the reactants, the proposed activated complexes, and the local Fukui function analysis explained that C1 carbon atom is the most electrophilic center of ether. Also, kinetics and theoretical calculation of activation energies indicated that the mechanism of the piperidinolysis passed through a two-step mechanism and the proton transfer process was the rate determining step.

The formation of carbon disulfide ( CS 2) and ammonia ( NH 3) from the thermal decomposition products of thiourea has been studied with MP2, and hybrid module-based density functional theory methods (B3LYP, MPW1PW91 and PBE1PBE), each in conjunction with five different basis sets (6-31+G(2d,2p), 6-311++G(2d,2p), DGDZVP, DGDZVP2 and DGTZVP). The free energy changes and activation energies for all the five primitive reactions involved in the formation of CS 2 and NH 3 have been compared and discussed. The results indicate that CS 2 is most likely formed in a consecutive reaction path that consists of the addition of hydrogen sulfide ( H 2 S ) to isothiocyanic acid (HNCS) to generate carbamodithioic acid and subsequent decomposition of carbamodithioic acid. By contrast, thiocyanic acid (HSCN) as the structural isomer of isothiocyanic acid is not likely the source of CS 2.
