Identification of Carbonium and Carbenium Ions by QTAIM
نویسندگان
چکیده
A ferramenta de Gassman-Fentiman da demanda crescente de elétrons foi usada para identificar íons carbênios e íons carbônios. Contudo, devido ao seu entendimento ambíguo, ela foi pivô de uma disputa histórica. Nós aplicamos a metodologia da Teoria Quântica de Átomos em Moléculas QTAIM para caracterizar íons carbênios e íons carbônios de uma forma mais eficaz e mais fácil. Essa metodologia pode ser usada para avaliar se um carbocátion é clássico ou não. Além disso, é possível classificar um conjunto de íon carbônio na ordem de magnitude da deslocalização σ, ou π. Há poucas diferenças entre os resultados de nosso modelo baseado na QTAIM e da ferramenta de Gassman-Fentiman. Contudo, diferentemente da ferramenta de Gassman-Fentiman, os cátions 7-anisol-7-norbornenila e 2-anisol-2-norbornila são não-clássicos, embora sejam os menos íons não-clássicos em seus conjuntos correspondentes de cátions estudados.

Carbenium and carbonium ions in liquid- and solid-superacid-catalyzed activation of small alkanes*
Acid-catalyzed hydrocarbon reactions involve by far the largest amount of catalyst and the largest volume of transformation in oil refinery and chemical industry. However, despite the general agreement on the carbocationic nature of the reaction intermediates, the initial steps and the true nature of the cations on the surface are still open to debate. On these points our basic knowledge has ga...
متن کاملCarbonium vs. carbenium ion-like transition state geometries for carbocation cyclization - how strain associated with bridging affects 5-exo vs. 6-endo selectivity.
Quantum chemical calculations are used to explore the origins of regioselectivity for proton-, Pt(II)- and Pd(II)-promoted cyclizations of 1,5-hexadienes, 5-aminoalkenes, and allylic acetimidates. The strain associated with achieving carbonium ion-like transition state geometries is shown to be a key factor in controlling 5-exo vs. 6-endo selectivity.

Brønsted acid sites in zeolites catalyze alkene hydrogenation with H2 via the same kinetically-relevant (C-H-H) + carboniumion-like transition states as those involved in monomolecular alkane dehydrogenation. Reactions between C3H6 and H2 selectively form C3H8 (>80% carbon basis) at high H2/C3H6 ratios (>2500) and temperatures (>700 K). Ratios of C3H8 dehydrogenation to C3H6 hydrogenation rate ...
متن کاملFree radical-mediated activation of hydrazine derivatives.
Hydrazines are known to undergo oxidative activation in several enzymatic systems in vitro. Free radicals or carbonium ions have been proposed as active intermediates during such activation. The toxic effects elicited by hydrazines have also been linked to free radical-mediated activation. In this report, we have reviewed the identification of organic free radicals from hydrazines by direct ESR...
متن کاملDisubstituted Carbenium Ions as Reactive Intermediates in Organic Chemistry
Recent results in the chemistry of disubstituted carbenium ions (vinyl cations and phenyl cations) are described separately under three different sections: From kinetic and solvolytic data of several 1—cyclobutenyl nonaflates, the intermediacy of a non-classical vinyl cation, namely the 1-cyclobutenyl cation 2 is established. Cycloaddition reactions of solvolytically generated vinyl cations wit...
