The extent of the interaction of synthesis design and reactivity prediction is even more extensive than implied above, in that both interrelate with a third very important element of organic chemistry — that of molecular design. The factors which control and are responsible for reactivity are precisely those that dictate how a particular... [Pg.25]

Recent developments have been aimed at facilitating EROS s chemistry, and use of the latter in the various evaluation steps necessary to the problem. This has led to a version of EROS which is capable of solving some quite sophisticated reactivity prediction questions, such as those posed in Fig. 3. Further developments of the synthesis design capabilities have intentionally been kept in abeyance, and are following on in the light of our experience with reaction prediction. [Pg.27]

This chapter has outlined specifically how quantitative data on somewhat idealized reaction systems can be used as a basis for demonstrating the validity of our empirical electronic models in the field of reactivity. The multiparameter statistical models derived for the systems studied (PA, acidity, etc.) have limited direct application in EROS themselves. The next section develops the theme of applying the models in a much more general way, leading up to general reactivity prediction in EROS itself. [Pg.59]

The orbital coefficients obtained from Hiickel calculations predict the terminal position to be the most reactive one, while the AMI model predicts the Cl and C3 positions to be competitive. In polyenes, this is true for the addition of nucleophilic as well as electrophilic radicals, as HOMO and LUMO coefficients are basically identical. Both theoretical methods agree, however, in predicting the Cl position to be considerably more reactive as compared to the C2 position. It must be remembered in this context that FMO-based reactivity predictions are only relevant in kinetically controlled reactions. Under thermodynamic control, the most stable adduct will be formed which, for the case of polyenyl radicals, will most likely be the radical obtained by addition to the C1 position. [Pg.630]

The gas-phase reactivity of various terpenes has been measured. Stephens and Scott were the first to include two terpenes (pinene and a-phel-landrene) with their study of the relative reactivity of various hydrocar ns. Both monoterpenes showed the high reactivity predicted by their olefinic structure. Conversion of nitric oxide to nitrogen dioxide in e presence of isoprene is at a rate intermediate between those for ethylene and trans-2-butene, and Japar et al, reported rate constants for the a-pinene and terpinolene-ozone reactions. Grimsrud et a/. measured the rate con-... [Pg.99]

Early studies of photocyclization reactivity using Coulson s Free Valence Numbers (Ff) were carried out by Scholz, Dietz and Miihlstadt and by Laarhoven et al. Relatively good reactivity predictions for several parallel cyclization paths were obtained taking the sums of excited state Free Valence numbers for the reacting C atom pair (S F ) as reactivity measure In this sense a threshold value of 2 F = 1 was assumed, 2F < 1 implying lack of reactivity (cf also Ref. ).

New Jersey over two summer periods and one winter period and ratioed them to the stable PAH benzo[h]fluoranthene, BbF (Class V, Table 10.30). The [BaP]/[BbF] ratios were 0.61 in the summer of 1982 compared to 0.92 in the winter of 1983 for [CPP]/[BbF] they were 0.17 during the summer compared to 0.57 in the winter. In contrast, winter to summer ratios for the carcinogenic Class V PAHs benzo[/c]fluoranthene and indeno[l,2,3-c<7]pyrene (Table 10.30) are equal and close to unity, indicative of the low reactivity predicted by Nielsen (1984, 1988).

Table 16.12 compares the POCP values derived by Dement et al. (1996, 1998) and Andersson-Skold et al. (1992) to the MIR approach of Carter (1994). While the general trends in reactivities predicted by each approach are qualitatively similar, there are quantitative differences. For example, the POPC values for the simple alkanes relative to ethene are larger than the MIR values. This reflects in part the details of the mechanisms used in the calculations and the time scale over which the reactions are followed as well as differences in the assumed pollutant mix into which the VOC is injected, such as the VOC/NO ratio. [Pg.913]

With this exception we can see that the impact of the configuration mixing model on nucleophilic substitution reactions, which constitute the most widely studied organic reaction, is indeed extensive. The model readily rationalizes much available experimental data, relates the entire mechanistic spectrum within a single framework, challenges some fundamental precepts of physical organic chemistry and enables one to make reactivity predictions about reactions yet to be investigated. For such a simple, qualitative theory, this is no mean achievement. [Pg.161]

For the n-butenes the activation energy profile shows no difference among the top of the barriers linking the three isomers (Table II). According to the model the theoretical selectivities determined only by the statistical factors should be k2i/kn ku/h2 kn/k2S = 1 3 3. The corresponding experimental selectivities were 1.2 2.9 2.4 and were temperature independent. The relative reactivities predicted by the model compared with those found experimentally are 1-butene cis-2-butene ran -2-butene = 1.0 (0.38 0.06) (0.12 0.03) vs. 1 0.37 0.18, respectively.

We now explore whether the pattern of reactivity predicted by the Marcus theory is found for methyl transfer reactions in water. We use equation (29) to calculate values of G from the experimental data where, from (27), G = j(JGlx + AG Y). The values of G should then be made up of a contribution from the symmetrical reaction for the nucleophile X and for the leaving group Y. We then examine whether the values of G 29) calculated for the cross reactions from (29) agree with the values of G(27) calculated from (27) using a set of values for the symmetrical reactions. The problem is similar to the proof of Kohlrausch s law of limiting ionic conductances. [Pg.105]

The high reactivity predicted for the endo-bicyclo[2.1.0]pent-5-yl system was indeed found ". However, the exo-p-nitrobenzoate or tosylate were also highly reactive, being approximately 10 more reactive than the corresponding exo-substituted[3.1.0] system. The fact that the reactions were also essentially independent of solvent polarity and that the tosylate was only about six times more reactive than the corresponding p-nitrobenzoate (OPNB) led to the explanation that solvolysis of the exo-bicyclo[2.1.0]pent-5-yl systems involves an initial rapid isomerization to the very reactive endo isomer. This is shown below for hydrolysis of the exo-p-nitrobenzoate 7-OPNB. [Pg.637]

There seems little doubt that in radiation induced polymerizations the reactive entity is a free cation (vinyl ethers are not susceptible to free radical or anionic polymerization). The dielectric constant of bulk isobutyl vinyl ether is low (<4) and very little solvation of cations is likely. Under these circumstances, therefore, the charge density of the active centre is likely to be a maximum and hence, also, the bimolecular rate coefficient for reaction with monomer. These data can, therefore, be regarded as a measure of the reactivity of a non-solvated or naked free ion and bear out the high reactivity predicted some years ago [110, 111]. The experimental results from initiation by stable carbonium ion salts are approximately one order of magnitude lower than those from 7-ray studies, but nevertheless still represent extremely high reactivity. In the latter work the dielectric constant of the solvent is much higher (CHjClj, e 10, 0°C) and considerable solvation of the active centre must be anticipated. As a result the charge density of the free cation will be reduced, and hence the lower value of fep represents the reactivity of a solvated free ion rather than a naked one. Confirmation of the apparent free ion nature of these polymerizations is afforded by the data on the ion pair dissociation constant,, of the salts used for initiation, and, more importantly, the invariance, within experimental error, of ftp with the counter-ion used (SbCl or BF4). Overall effects of solvent polarity will be considered shortly in more detail. [Pg.93]

Chemoinformatics is characterized by the use of large amounts of information. Specific ways to represent the molecules, and to organize and analyze the data have been and continue to be developed. There are different ways to represent the molecules, and they can be classified according to the information that they encode. The most basic level corresponds to representations that depend on or are associated with one dimensional (ID) representation, such as molecular weight. The next level corresponds to the 2D representations associated with the connectivity of the molecules without the consideration of the stereochemistry. In 3D methods the incorporation of stereochemistry conveys not only the specification of the chirality of stereogenic centers but also the possible conformation or conformations. In this regard, the research fields dedicated to conformational analysis have an important impact in reactivity prediction, molecular design, and stability. Examples of ID, 2D, and... [Pg.36]
