Rate Profile

Rates of ketonization of (Z)-2-methoxy-1,2-diphenylvinyl alcohol were measured in aqueous perchloric acid and sodium hydroxide solutions as well as in formic acid and ammonium ion buffers, and the results were used to construct a rate profile for this reaction. These data show this substance to be a remarkably stable enol with a lifetime of 3.6 h at the bottom of its rate profile and a hydrogen ion catalytic coefficient 660 000 times less than that for the enol of acetophenone. Comparison with simple models allows partition of this rate factor into a 440-fold retardation for the β-phenyl substituent and a 1500-fold retardation for the β-methoxy substituent. A global rate of enolization of the keto isomer producing both Z and E enol isomers was also measured, and this leads to pKE > 5.4 as the lower limit of the keto-enol equilibrium constant for the Z enol. This result could be dissected into an enol-content enhancing effect of δ pKE = 3.2 for the β-phenyl group and a surprising enol-content diminishing effect of δ pKE > 0.6 for the β-methoxy group. Key words: enol ketonization, enol stability, keto-enol equilibrium, β-phenyl and β-methoxy substituent effects in keto-enol systems.

The wave numbers of the fundamental C=O and C=C stretching vibrations, as well as that of the first overtone of C=O stretching vibration of 2-(3-, and 4-substituted phenylmethylene)-1,3-cycloheptanediones and 1,3-cycloheptanedione were measured in tetrachloromethane and chloroform. The spectral data were correlated with σ+ constants of substituents attached to phenyl group and with wave number shifts of the C=O stretching vibration of substituted acetophenones. The slope of the linear dependence ν vs ν+ of the C=C stretching vibration of the ethylenic group was found to be more than two times higher than that of the analogous correlation of the C=O stretching vibration. Positive values of anharmonicity for asymmetric C=O stretching vibration can be considered as an evidence of the vibrational coupling in a cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl system similarly, as with derivatives of 1,3-indanedione. The relationship between the wave numbers of the symmetric and asymmetric C=O stretching vibrations indicates that the effect of structure upon both vibrations is symmetric. The vibrational coupling in 1,3-cycloheptanediones and the application of Seth-Paul-Van-Duyse equation is discussed in relation to analogous results obtained for other cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds.

Benzamide Derivatives

The crystal structures of three benzamide derivatives,viz. N-(6-hydroxyhexyl)-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzamide, C16H25NO5, (1),N-(6-anilinohexyl)-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzamide, C22H30N2O4, (2), andN-(6,6-diethoxyhexyl)-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzamide, C20H33NO6, (3), are described. These compounds differ only in the substituent at the end of the hexyl chain and the nature of these substituents determines the differences in hydrogen bonding between the molecules. In each molecule, them-methoxy substituents are virtually coplanar with the benzyl ring, while thep-methoxy substituent is almost perpendicular. The carbonyl O atom of the amide rotamer istransrelated with the amidic H atom. In each structure, the benzamide N—H donor group and O acceptor atoms link the molecules intoC(4) chains. In1, a terminal –OH group links the molecules into aC(3) chain and the combined effect of theC(4) andC(3) chains is a ribbon made up of screw relatedR22(17) rings in which the ...O—H... chain lies in the centre of the ribbon and the trimethoxybenzyl groups forms the edges. In2, the combination of the benzamideC(4) chain and the hydrogen bond formed by the terminal N—H group to an O atom of the 4-methoxy group link the molecules into a chain ofR22(17) rings. In3, the molecules are linked only byC(4) chains.

Localized Orbital

Two models are used to analyze the spectra of aniline and nitrobenzene. These are the localized-orbital model, in which there is no delocalization of the electrons between the phenyl group and the substituent, and the iso-conjugate-hydrocarbon model, in which there is complete delocalization. Neither model is very satisfactory with zero-order wave functions and energies. Both give a satisfactory interpretation of the spectra if configuration interaction is taken into account but the localized-orbital model is rather better for calculating energies. The localized-orbital model is also more readily applied to polysubstituted benzenes.

Methoxy Substituent

Symmetric and unsymmetric substituted 1,5-diarylthiocarbazones, and their mono- and bismercury complexes, were synthesized for spectral analysis. The first singlet–singlet transition of the mercury complexes was determined and the spectral shift produced by trifluoromethyl substitution was compared with that caused by different substituents in similar complexes. The large magnitude of the hypsochromic shift produced by the trifluoromethyl substituent can be explained by concerted steric and inductive effects, while the smaller bathochromic shift induced by the methoxy substituent is a result of opposing steric and electronic effects. In the trifluoromethyl substitution, a hypsochromic shift caused by steric influences was found to be 500 cm−1 in the photochromic unactivated state, and 250 cm−1 in the photochromic activated state. A similar shift caused by inductive influences was found to be 750 cm−1 in the photochromic unactivated state, and 600 cm−1 in the photochromic activated state. The smaller spectral shift observed in the photochromic activated state is consistent with the elucidated structure of the unsymmetric 1,5-diarylthiocarbazone, 6d, which was shown that the trifluoromethyl substitution was on the phenylazo portion of the molecule by chemical and spectral studies.

Experimental long-range phenyl proton–vinyl proton coupling constants in 4-substituted styrenes are substituent independent. This is also predicted by INDO–finite perturbation theory calculations of these coupling constants. Comparison with calculated and experimental long-range coupling constants for 4-substituted benzaldehydes suggests that the previously reported substituent dependence for the latter coupling constants arises from substituent-induced changes in molecular geometry.Geminal vinyl coupling constants in 4-substituted styrenes, α-methylstyrenes, and α-t-butylstyrenes are substituent dependent with substituent effects increasing as phenyl and vinyl groups are twisted out of planarity. These trends are reproduced by INDO–FPT calculations. It is concluded that the substituent effects are primarily transmitted through space.Both experimental and calculated vinyl 13C–1H coupling constants show strong stereospecific substituent effects. From the pattern of results (particularly the greater field dependence for JC(β)H(9) than JC β)H(8)) it is concluded that these coupling constants.also reflect through-space substituent effects. This is supported by calculations on model compounds with no intervening phenyl group.

A series of zinc[Formula: see text]-hydroxylphenylporphyrins was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and electrochemical methods in four different nonaqueous solvents. The investigated compounds are represented as [([Formula: see text]-HOPh)[Formula: see text](ptBuPh)[Formula: see text]P]Zn, where P represents the dianion of a porphyrin, Ph represents a phenyl group, HO and [Formula: see text]Bu are para substituents on the meso-phenyl rings of the macrocycle and [Formula: see text] = 0–4. The four utilized nonaqueous solvents were dichloromethane (CH[Formula: see text]Cl[Formula: see text], NN-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and pyridine (Py) which were selected on the basis of their coordinating capabilities. The UV-visible spectra and redox potentials of each porphyrin were analyzed both as a function of Hammett substituent constants for groups at the para-positions of the meso-phenyl rings and as a function of the Gutmann solvent donor number which is related to the coordinating ability of the solvent. Each porphyrin exhibits two reductions in CH[Formula: see text]Cl[Formula: see text], DMSO and Py while three reductions are observed in DMF, the additional reaction being due to a phlorin product generated in solution after formation of the porphyrin dianion. Two or three reversible oxidations were seen in CH[Formula: see text]Cl[Formula: see text], the exact number depending upon the specific porphyrin and the presence of [Formula: see text]-OH substituents at the meso-phenyl rings of the compound. The first two oxidations were assigned as involving the conjugated macrocycle and the third is associated with oxidation of the meso-HOPh group(s).
