MINDO-Forces Study on Substituted Nitromethane aci-Nitromethane Tautomerism
نویسندگان
چکیده
MINDO-Forces calculations with complete geometry optimization have been performed on nitromethane, aci-nitromethane and X-substituted nitromethane and aci-nitromethane (X = F, OH, NH2, CH3, CN, CF3, NO2, CHO). It is found that nitromethane is more stable than aci-nitromethane by 9.337 kcal/mol. This agrees with theoretical calculations. Thermodynamically, substituted acinitro tautomers are more stable than the corresponding nitromethane, except in case of the substituent F. Geometrical parameters, heats of formation, electron densities, Gibbs free energies and isodesmic reactions are reported.

Gold/copper-catalyzed activation of the aci-form of nitromethane in the synthesis of methylene-bridged bis-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds.
Activation of the aci-form of nitromethane using Lewis acids for the attack of carbon nucleophiles was studied. 1,3-Dicarbonyl compounds in the presence of catalytic amounts of AuCl(3) or Cu(OTf)(2) in nitromethane solvent could be converted into methylene-bridged bis-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds.
متن کاملAccounts of the New Aspects of Nitromethane Initiation Reactivity
A well-known effect of amines, and also of water, on detonation characteristics of nitromethane (Nm) is discussed from the point of view of the published knowledge about the study of initiation reactivity of this nitro paraffin. It is documented that bimolecular and higher interactions during the initiation of Nm are impossible. The most widespread concepts of the primary steps of this initiati...
متن کاملSynthesis and stereochemical analysis of β-nitromethane substituted γ-amino acids and peptides.
The high diastereoselectivity in the Michael addition of nitromethane to α,β-unsaturated γ-amino esters, crystal conformations of β-nitromethane substituted γ-amino acids and peptides are studied. Results suggest that the N-Boc protected amide NH, conformations of α,β-unsaturated γ-amino esters and alkyl side chains play a crucial role in dictating the high diastereoselectivity of nitromethane ...

A newly found reaction for the synthesis of 3,4-disubstituted 1-hydroxy-pyrrolidine-2,5-diones from 3-substituted coumarins and nitromethane has been elaborated. The reaction involved a simple and convenient experimental procedure. The applicability of the rearrangement reaction is determined.
متن کاملGold(I)-catalyzed formation of dihydroquinolines and indoles from N-aminophenyl propargyl malonates.
The use of [XPhosAu(NCMe)]SbF(6) in nitromethane at 100 °C allows the rapid and efficient formation of variously substituted dihydroquinolines, which can be subsequently converted into indoles by a rare photochemical rearrangement.
