چکیده

To provide insight and to identify the occurrence of mechanistic changes in relation to variance in solvent-type, the solvent effects on the rates of solvolysis of three substrates, 2,2,2-trichloro-1,1-dimethylethyl chloroformate, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl chloroformate, and 1-chloroethyl chloroformate, are analyzed using linear free energy relationships (LFERs) such as the extended Grunwald-Winstein equation, and a similarity-based LFER model approach that is based on the solvolysis of phenyl chloroformate. At 25.0 °C, in four common solvents, the α-chloroethyl chloroformate was found to react considerably faster than the two β,β,β-trichloro-substituted analogs. This immense rate enhancement can be directly related to the proximity of the electron-withdrawing α-chlorine atom to the carbonyl carbon reaction center. In the thirteen solvents studied, 1-chloroethyl chloroformate was found to strictly follow a carbonyl addition process, with the addition-step being rate-determining. For the two β,β,β-trichloro-substrates, in aqueous mixtures that are very rich in a fluoroalcohol component, there is compelling evidence for the occurrence of side-by-side addition-elimination and ionization mechanisms, with the ionization pathway being predominant. The presence of the two methyl groups on the α-carbon of 2,2,2-trichloro-1,1-dimethylethyl chloroformate has additive steric and stereoelectronic implications, causing its rate of reaction to be significantly slower than that of 2,2,2-trichloroethyl chloroformate.

β-Keto esters from ketones and ethyl chloroformate: a rapid, general, efficient synthesis of pyrazolones and their antimicrobial, in silico and in vitro cytotoxicity studies

BACKGROUND Pyrazolones are traditionally synthesized by the reaction of β-keto esters with hydrazine and its derivatives. There are methods to synthesize β-keto esters from esters and aldehydes, but these methods have main limitation in varying the substituents. Often, there are a number of methods such as acylation of enolates in which a chelating effect has been employed to lock the enolate a...

Asymmetric synthesis of γ-chloro-α,β-diamino- and β,γ-aziridino-α-aminoacylpyrrolidines and -piperidines via stereoselective Mannich-type additions of N-(diphenylmethylene)glycinamides across α-chloro-N-sulfinylimines

The asymmetric synthesis of new chiral γ-chloro-α,β-diaminocarboxylamide derivatives by highly diastereoselective Mannich-type reactions of N-(diphenylmethylene)glycinamides across chiral α-chloro-N-p-toluenesulfinylaldimines was developed. The resulting (S(S),2S,3S)-γ-chloro-α,β-diaminocarboxylamides were formed with the opposite enantiotopic face selectivity as compared to the (S(S),2R,3R)-γ-...

The efficient asymmetric synthesis of new chiral γ-chloro-α,β-diamino acid derivatives via highly diastereoselective Mannich-type reactions of N-(diphenylmethylene) glycine esters across a chiral α-chloro-N-p-toluenesulfinylimine was developed. The influence of the base, LDA or LiHMDS, used for the formation of the glycine enolates, was of great importance for the anti-/syn-diastereoselectivity...
