Transfer of F+ versus fluoronium metathesis Competing reactivities of the gaseous fluoroformyl cation

چکیده
Reactions of unsaturated hydrocarbons with fluoroformyl cation (CFO+) and of ketene and diketene with CFO+ and CF3 have been studied in a Flowing Afterglow-Selected Ion Flow Tube (FA-SIFT) in helium at room temperature. Net F+ transfer from CFO+ to the neutral reactants, which is observed in the majority of cases studied, can be explained in terms of formation of a covalent adduct followed by expulsion of CO. Other product ions include the products of net metathesis, C C + CFO+ → C C O + +F C , which are observed in nearly half of the hydrocarbons investigated. Reaction of cyclopentadiene with CFO+ produces inter alia two isomeric C5H5 ions, neither of which appears to have the same reactivity, as does the C5H5 ion produced by reaction of propargyl cation (C3H3) with acetylene. Given that the number of plausible C5H5 structures is not very great, one of the ions derived from cyclopentadiene is inferred to have the structure of the cyclopentadienyl cation. The reaction of CFO+ with ketene gives F+ transfer, yielding FCH2C≡O, as the major product channel. By contrast, the reaction of CFO+ with diketene gives no observable F+ transfer. All observed products can be rationalized as coming from initial adduct ions. © 2007 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Search for a Symmetrical C-F-C Fluoronium Ion in Solution: Kinetic Isotope Effects, Synthetic Labeling, and Computational, Solvent, and Rate Studies.
Recently, we reported evidence for the generation of a symmetrical fluoronium ion (a [C-F-C](+) interaction) in solution from a cage-like precursor, relying heavily on a single isotopic-labeling experiment. Paraphrasing the axiom that a strong claim must be met by as much evidence as possible, we seek to expand upon our initial findings with comprehensive labeling studies, rate measurements, ki...
متن کاملIntramolecular fluorine migration via four-member cyclic transition states
Gaseous CF(3)(+) interchanges F(+) for O with simple carbonyl compounds. CF(3)(+) reacts with propionaldehyde in the gas phase to produce (CH(3))(2)CF(+) via two competing pathways. Starting with 1-(13)C-propionaldehyde, the major pathway (80%) produces (CH(3))(2)CF(+) with the carbon label in one of the methyl groups. The minor pathway (20%) produces (CH(3))(2)CF(+) with the carbon label in th...

A C102H30 graphene sheet has been rolled up to construct Single-Walled Carbon NanoTube Fragments (SWCNTFs) as parts of armchair carbon nanotubes by computational quantum chemistry methods. Non-covalent cation-π interactions of the Na+ cation on the central rings of SWCNTFs have investigated. The binding energies of the Na+-SWCNTF complexes versus ...

The gas-phase dissociation chemistry of protonated N,2-diphenyl-N'-(p-toluenesulfonyl) ethanimidamides was investigated by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry in combination with density functional theory calculation. The protonated molecules underwent fragmentation via two main competing channels: (1) migration of the tosyl cation to the anilinic N atom and the subsequent loss of 2-pheny...

A comparative study of the 2,3-dimethyl-3-fluoro-2-butyl cation and its chloro analog was carried out by the ab initio/GIAO-CCSD(T) (gauge invariant atomic orbital-coupled cluster with single, double, and perturbative triple excitation) method. The structures and (13)C NMR chemical shifts of the cations were calculated at the GIAO-CCSD(T)/tzp/dz//MP2/cc-pVTZ level. Bridged fluoronium ion 1, car...
