Study of the Lithiated Phenylacetonitrile Monoanions and Dianions Formed According to the Lithiated Base Used (LHMDS, LDA, or n-BuLi). 1. Evidence of Heterodimer (“Quadac”) or Dianion Formation by Vibrational Spectroscopy
摘要:
It is evidenced through vibrational spectroscopy that a heterodimer or "Quadac" is formed when an excess of base (LHMDS, LDA, or n-BuLi) is added to PhCH2CN in THF, THF-hexane, or THF-toluene solution. The amount of heterodimer increases with the pK(Ha) of the lithiated base. A dianionic species may be formed through decomposition of this heterodimer if the pK(Ha) of the base is sufficiently high, as in the case of n-BuLi. With LDA, only a very small amount of dianion is observed, and with LHMDS, no dianion is detected. The predominant dianionic species observed are the linear and bridged separated ion pairs of the dilithiated dianion. The presence of the amine in the medium is of paramount importance. The PhCHCNLi monomer-dimer equilibrium is entropy driven toward the dimer solvated by the amine.
2-cyclopentenone, followed by acidic quench, under kinetic control, leads to different ratios of cis and trans 2,3-disubstituted cyclanones according to ring size. From 2-methyl and 2-phenyl 2-cyclohexenone, the cis isomer is highly predominant (85 to 98%). From 2-methyl 2-cyclopentenone a cis/trans mixture is obtained: the cis isomer only predominates when a bulky reagent (1c) is used (80%); in the other cases

There have been a number of reports of the kinetic conjugate (1,4) addition of metalated arylacetonitriles to enones. Several proposals have been made to explain this behavior based on nucleophile structure or aggregation state or on the HSAB properties of the reactants. A reexamination of these studies showed that in each case the 1,4 adducts resulted from equilibration of the kinetically formed 1
The structure of the lithium derivatives of phenyl acetonitrile and acetonitrile is discussed in terms of their IR spectra. It has been found from new and already-published data that the IR spectra [ν(CN) region] of the lithium, sodium, potassium and chlormagnesyl derivatives of phenyl acetonitrile in various solvents, and in the solid state, are similar. They are characterized by very strong ν(CN)
根据它们的IR光谱讨论了苯基乙腈和乙腈的锂衍生物的结构。从新的和已经公开的数据中发现,在各种溶剂中和在固态下,苯基乙腈的锂,钠,钾和氯镁基衍生物的红外光谱[ν(CN)区域]相似。它们的特征是在2068–2102 cm -1区域具有非常强的ν(CN)谱带,并对应于消旋苯基乙腈碳负离子。

The reactivity of the cyaninedyes towards nucleophilic reagents is currently being tested. As in the case of phosphine derivatives, carbanions attack the electrophilic C3 carbon of the pentamethine chain to give, with a good yield, new functionalized podands with cyano, keto, amino, amido, or enol-ether moieties.
