Free energy hydride affinities of quinones in dimethyl sulfoxide solution
摘要:
Free energy hydride affinities in solution defined by reaction i [(i) Q(s) + H-s reversible (QH-)s, DELTAG(hydride)(Q)s] were evaluated for a number of quinones (Q) in dimethyl sulfoxide solution using reaction ii [(ii) -DELTAG(hydride)(Q)s = 2.303RTpK(a)(QH-)s + FDELTAE-degrees(NHE)[(Q.-/Q2-)s + (Q/Q.-)s] + C] derived from a thermochemical cycle. The constant C corresponds to -FE-degrees(NHE)[(H+/H.)s + (H./H-)s] which is equal to 69.9 kcal/mol in dimethyl sulfoxide. The pK(a) of hydroquinone monoanions (QH-) were determined by the overlapping indicator method. Reversible electrode potentials for both the first and second charge transfers to Q were determined by cyclic voltammetry. Values of DELTAG(hydride)(Q)DMSO ranging from -58 to -101 kcal/mol were observed. Hydride affinities of substituted benzoquinones (BQ) were found to be linearly correlated with the corresponding electron affinities in solution. Equilibrium constants for the reactions of BQ with the NADH model compound 10-methylacridan were estimated, and the thermochemical results are discussed in terms of the one- and the two-step mechanisms of hydride-transfer reactions.

Solutions of 17O-labelled hydrogenperoxide and t.butyl hydroperoxide in water or anhydrous solvents are easily obtained, starting from labelled oxygen. These stable enriched 17O products are valuable reagents to synthesize various labelled molecules, which have been characterized by 17O-NMR spectroscopy. Chemical shifts of several O-containing groups are given.

The gas-phase reactions of the anions of catechol, 4-methylcatechol, resorcinol, and o-cresol with BS and SiF4 have been examined using the flowing afterglow technique. These systems initially form an addition product in a three-body step, and this addition product subsequently participates in fluoride transfer with a second molecule of the reactant neutral. The reactions involving the anions of catechol and 3-methylcatechol exhibit a second primary product channel which is independent of the concentration of the third-body. Results suggest that this bimolecular product is a cyclic species formed in a step involving the ring-closure step and loss of HF. Relative amounts of the two primary products are sensitive to pressure as well as to the identity of the Lewis acid. We explain this behavior in terms of a multiple-well potential energy surface which contains a barrier in the bimolecular product channel.
