The prevalence of solvent effects in heterogeneous catalysis in condensed media has motivated developing quantitative kinetic, and theoretical assessments of solvent structures and their interactions with reaction intermediates and transition states. 1111-67-7, Name is Cuprous thiocyanate, belongs to copper-catalyst compound, is a common compound. Safety of Cuprous thiocyanateIn an article, once mentioned the new application about 1111-67-7.
The gamma-selective allylation of catalytic and stoichiometric alkylzinc-cuprates have been kinetically studied. The reactivity profiles generated by allylation reactions of n-butylzinc chloride catalyzed by CuX compounds (X = I, Br, Cl, CN, SCN) and also catalyzed by n-butylzinc-copper reagents and di n-butylzinc-copper reagents were evaluated. Reactivity profiles for allylation of stoichiometric n-butylzinc-copper reagents and di n-butylzinc-copper reagents were also prepared. All CuX compounds have been screened for the preparation of Grignard reagent derived n-butylzinc-copper reagents and di n-butylzinc-copper reagents. The evaluation of the profiles indicates that the active catalyst might be RCu(X)ZnCl and also to some degree, R2CuZnCl · ZnClX, which both could favor formation of gamma-product. All data supports the reductive elimination of sigma-allyl Cu (III) complex formed at vinylic terminal to give gamma-allylated product with a quite slow isomerization to sigma-allyl Cu (III) complex formed at allylic terminal to give alpha-allylated product. In the allylation mechanism of zinc cuprates, the role of counter ion, ZnCl+ has been discussed.
Enzymes are biological catalysts that produce large increases in reaction rates and tend to be specific for certain reactants and products. I hope my blog about 1111-67-7 is helpful to your research.
