Detection and Characterization of a Transient Zwitterion, the 9-Carboxylate-9-fluorenyl Cation, and Its Conjugate Acid1
摘要:
Laser flash photolysis of 9-hydroxy-9-fluorenecarboxylic acid in hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) generates a transient with lambda(max) at 495 nm that reacts with nucleophiles such as methanol and bromide and is insensitive to oxygen. In the presence of 0.15 M trifluoroacetic acid, a different transient with lambda(max) at 560 nm that also reacts with nucleophiles is formed. The 495 and 560 nm species are identified as a zwitterion (the 9-carboxylate-9-fluorenyl cation) and its conjugate acid (the 9-carboxy-9-fluorenyl cation), respectively. The assignment of the zwitterion is supported by the observation of infrared absorptions in the carboxylate region that are quenched by nucleophiles with rate constants similar to those obtained by UV-visible detection. Both the zwitterion and its protonated form are observed at intermediate acid concentrations, leading to an estimate of 1 x 10(-2) M(-1) for the equilibrium constant for the ionization of the 9-carboxy-9-fluorenyl cation in HFIP. Absolute rate constants for reaction of the zwitterion with alcohols, anionic nucleophiles, and substituted aromatics are reported and compared to data for other 9-fluorenyl cations.

of 9-substituted 9-fluorenyl cation were prepared and characterized by 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. Unsuccessful attempts were made to observe intramolecular interconversion of 9-methyl-9-fluorenyl cation via capped pyramidal ions with ring deuterated and methylated analogues. MINDO/3 calculations on isomeric structures of cyclopentadienyl, indenyl, and fluorenyl cations indicated strongly decreasing
