Theoretical study of mechanism of extraction reaction between germylene carbene and its derivatives and thiirane

The mechanism of the sulfur extraction reaction between singlet germylene carbene and its derivatives [X₂Ge?C: (X = H, F, Cl, CH₃)] and thiirane has been investigated with density functional theory, including geometry optimization and vibrational analyses for the involved stationary points on the potential energy surface. The energies of the different conformations are calculated by B3LYP/6‐311G(d,p) method. From the potential energy profile, it can be predicted that the reaction pathway of this kind consists two steps: (1) the two reactants firstly form an intermediate (INT) through a barrier‐free exothermic reaction; (2) the INT then isomerizes to a product via a transition state (TS). This kind reaction has similar mechanism, when the germylene carbene and its derivatives [X₂Ge?C: (X = H, F, Cl, CH₃)] and thiirane get close to each other, the shift of 3p lone electron pair of S in thiirane to the 2p unoccupied orbital of C in X₂Ge = C: gives a p → p donor–acceptor bond, leading to the formation of INT. As the p → p donor–acceptor bond continues to strengthen (that is the C? S bond continues to shorten), the INT generates product (P + C₂H₄) via TS. It is the substituent electronegativity that mainly affects the extraction reactions. When the substituent electronegativity is greater, the energy barrier is lower, and the reaction rate is greater. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2011     

Quantum chemical study on the abstraction reaction of alkylidenegermylene with oxirane and thiirane

The mechanisms of theion reaction of alkylidenegermylene with oxirane and thiirane have been characterized detail in using density functional theory, as well as ab initio method, including geometry optimization and vibrational analysis for the involved stationary points on the potential energy surface. Energies were calculated by CCSD(T)/6-311G(d)//B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) method for the involved conformations. The results show that the reaction pathways for both reactions consist of two ways: (1) the reactants can yield bent products (P1; P4) by syn-isomers; (2) the reactants can also yield three-membered products (P2; P5) by anti-isomers, which then further react with oxirane and thiirane to form the ultimate products (P3-1, P3-2; P6). Furthermore, a comparison with alkylidenecarbene, oxirane, and thiirane was done.     

Absolute rate constants for reactions of tributylstannyl radicals with bromoalkanes, episulfides, and alpha-halomethyl-episulfides, -cyclopropanes, and -oxiranes: new rate expressions for sulfur and bromine atom abstraction

Arrhenius rate expressions were determined for the abstraction of bromine atom from 2-phenethyl bromide by tri-n-butylstannyl radical (Bu(3)Sn(*)) in benzene using transient absorption spectroscopy, (log(k(abs,Br)/M(-1) s(-1)) = (9.21 +/- 0.20) - (2.23 +/- 0.28)/theta, theta = 2.3RT kcal/mol, errors are 2sigma) and for the abstraction of sulfur atom from propylene sulfide to form propylene, (log(k(s)/M(-1) s(-1)) = (8.75 +/- 0.91) - (2.35 +/-1.33)/theta). Rate constants for reactions of organic bromides, RBr, with Bu(3)Sn(*) were found to vary as R = benzyl (15.6) > thiiranylmethyl (6.2) > oxiranylmethyl (3.1) > cyclopropylmethyl (1.3) > 2-phenethyl (1.0), with k(abs,Br) = 6.8 x 10(7) M(-1) s(-1) at 353 K for 2-phenethyl bromide. Bromine abstraction from alpha-bromomethylthiirane is about 7-fold faster than sulfur atom abstraction and is comparable to the reactivity of a secondary alkyl bromide. The potential surface for the vinylthiomethyl --> allylthiyl radical rearrangement at UB3LYP/6-31G(d) and UB3LYP/6-311+G(2d,2p) levels of theory suggests that the thiiranylmethyl radical is produced about 9 kcal/mol above the allylthiyl radical on the rearrangement surface, consistent with the observed enhancement of the Br atom abstraction from the thiirane and with synchronous C-S bond scission of the thiirane ring. The selectivities reported in this work for S vs Cl and Br abstraction provide applications for radical-based synthesis and new competition basis rate expressions for trialkylstannyl radicals.     

Theoretical study of silylene substituent effects on the abstraction reactions with oxirane and thiirane

The potential energy surfaces for the abstraction reactions of silylenes with oxirane and thiirane have been characterized in detail using density functional theory (B3LYP) as well as the ab initio method (QCISD), including zero-point corrections. Five silylene species including SiH(2), Si(CH(3))(2), Si(NH(2))(2), Si(OH)(2), and SiF(2) have been chosen in this work as model reactants. All the interactions involve the initial formation of a donor-acceptor ylide-like complex followed by a heteroatom shift via a two-center transition state. The complexation energies, activation barriers, and enthalpies of the reactions were used comparatively to determine the relative silylenic reactivity, as well as the influence of substituents on the reaction potential energy surface. As a result, our theoretical investigations suggest that, irrespective of deoxygenation and desulfurization, the alkyl-substituted silylene abstractions are much more favorable than those of the pi donor-substituted silylenes. Moreover, for a given silylene, while both deoxygenation and desulfurization are facile processes, the deoxygenation reaction is more exothermic as well as more kinetically favorable. Furthermore, a configuration mixing model based on the work of Pross and Shaik is used to rationalize the computational results. The results obtained allow a number of predictions to be made.     

Theoretical approach to the mechanism of reactions between halogen atoms and unsaturated hydrocarbons: the Cl + propene reaction

The potential energy surface for the Cl + propene reaction was analyzed at the MP2 level using Pople's 6-31G(d,p) and 6-311+G(d,p), and Dunning's cc-pVDZ and aug-cc-pVDZ basis sets. Two different channels for the addition reaction leading to chloroalkyl radicals and five alternative channels for the abstraction reaction leading to C(3)H(5) (.) + HCl were explored. The corresponding energy profiles were computed at the QCISD(T)/aug-cc-pVDZ//MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory. Theoretical results suggest that the previously established mechanism consisting of (1) direct abstraction and (2) addition-elimination steps is instead made up of (1) addition through an intermediate and (2) two-step abstraction processes. No direct abstraction mechanism exists on the potential energy surface. The kinetic equations derived for the new mechanism are consistent with the pressure dependence experimentally observed for this reaction.

The thermal decomposition of thiirane: a mechanistic study by ab initio MO theory

Using high-level ab initio MO methods, we have identified two reaction pathways with different thermodynamic and kinetic properties for the thermal decomposition of the three-membered heterocycle thiirane (C2H4S) and related derivatives. A homolytic ring opening, followed by attack of the generated diradical on another thiirane molecule, and subsequent elimination of ethene in a fast radical chain reaction results in the formation of disulfur molecules in their triplet ground state (3S2) and requires activation enthalpies of deltaH#(298) = 222 kJ mol(-1) and deltaG#(298) = 212 kJ mol(-1). This reaction mechanism would result in a first-order rate law in agreement with one reported gas-phase experiment but does neither match the experimental activation energy nor does it explain the observed retention of the stereochemical configuration in the thermal decomposition of certain substituted thiiranes. Alternatively, sulfur atoms can be transferred from one thiirane moleculeto another with the intermediate formation of thiirane 1-sulfide (C2H4S2). This molecule can either decompose unimolecularly to ethene and disulfur in its excited singlet state (1S2) or, by means of spin crossover, S2 in its triplet ground state may be formed. On the other hand, the thiirane 1-sulfide may react with itself and transfer one sulfur atom from one molecule to another with formation of thiirane 1,1-disulfide (C2H4S3), which is an analogue of thiirane sulfone; thiirane is formed as the second product. The 1,1-disulfide may then decompose to ethene and S3. In still another bimolecular reaction, the thiirane 1-sulfide may react with itself in a strongly exothermic reaction to give S4 and two equivalents of ethene. This series of reactions results in a second-order rate law and requires activation enthalpies of deltaH#(298) = 109 kJ mol(-1) and deltaG#(298) = 144 kJ mol(-1) for the formation of thiirane 1-sulfide, while the consecutive reactions require less activation enthalpy. Elemental sulfur (S8) is eventually formed by oligomerization of either S2, S3, or S4 in spin-allowed reactions. These findings are in agreement with most experimental data on the thermal desulfurization of thiirane and its substituted derivatives. Thiirane 1-persulfide (C2H4S3) with a linear arrangement of the three sulfur atoms as well as zwitterions and radicals derived from thiirane are not likely to be intermediates in the thermal decomposition of episulfides.     

A computational study of the reactions of thiiranes with ammonia and amines

The relative rates of reaction of thiirane and thiirane derivatives with NH3, a series of secondary amines including aziridine, and trimethylamine were determined in the gas phase by means of B3LYP/6-31+G(d)//HF/6-31+G(d) computations and transition state theory. Convergence of the results was selectively tested using the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. Comparison with MP2/6-31 + G(d)//MP2/6-31G(d) computations was made in model cases. These results are significant in that they supplement the only reported gas-phase experimental study of this type of reaction. The reaction rates of thiirane with secondary amines can best be rationalized by means of an interplay of steric and polarizability effects. While beta-halo substituents retard S(N)2 reactions in solution, both 2-fluorothiirane and its acyclic model react more than l0(6) times faster with NH3 than the unsubstituted compounds in the gas phase. 2-Fluorothiirane was calculated to react with NH3 at C2 by a factor of 0.142 with respect to thiirane itself; attack at C3 was found to be 3.42 x 10(6) times faster than the parent compound. 2-Methylthirane reacts with NH3 at 0. 230 the rate of thiirane with a 12.8-fold regioselectivity for C3. In the reaction of 2,2-dimethylthirane and NH3, this preference for C3 increases to a factor of 124. Ground-state destabilization of cis-2,3-dimethylthiirane is sufficient to account for its calculated rate acceleration with respect to the trans isomer.     

Theoretical studies of insertion reactions of singlet germylene into aryl C-Cl bond of 1-chlorobenzene

The insertion reactions of germylene into C-CI bond of 1-chorobenzene have been explored using density functional theory.Five germylene species have been chosen for systematically studying. All the stationary points were determined at the B3LYP/6-311 +G (d, p) level of the theory. The results show that, the smaller the AEsT of germylene, the lower the barrier height, and the electropositive substituents on the germylene can increase the reaction activity and exothermicity of insertion into C-CI bond of 1-chorobenzene.
