Rearrangements in metastable ion decompositions of protonated propylamines
摘要:
AbstractDecomposition of nPrNH3+ to NH4+ does not occur via vicinal elimination. Hydrogen transfer takes place from all positions of the alkyl chain. Intermediacy of either an ion–neutral complex. [iPr+ NH3], or rearrangement to iPrNH3+ is required. SCF calculations were used to probe the potential energy surface. There is a minimum corresponding to [iPr+ NH3], in which the nitrogen lone pair points towards the machine hydrogen and is 2.1 Å away from it, and another, less stable, minimum corresponding to a hydrogen‐bonded structure, H3N …︁ H3CCHCH3+, in which one methyl hydrogen is 2.0 Å from the nitrogen. Density of states estimates suggest that avibrationally excited complex can live for the order of 100 ps before either collapsing to iPrNH3+ or yielding NH4+ and propene.
