Structural Effects on Stability and ReactivityChapter 3
learning tools to use deciphering reaction mechanisms-> a mechanism can never really be proven.
Energy surfaces and related concepts
Energy surface
Reaction coordinate diagrams
Reaction coordinate: the minimum energy pathways, or the pathway we depict as the weighted average of all the pathways
Reaction coordinate diagram
Activation energy
Intermediates: any chemical structures that last longer than the time for a typical bond vibration (10-13 to 10-14 s)
Rate-determining step: the step with the highest barrier.
Rates and rate constants
Rate constant (k): a proportionality constant between concentration of reactants and reaction rate
Reaction order and rate laws
Rate constant (k): a proportionality constant between concentration of reactants and reaction rate
a + b + c = reaction order-> determined by experimental measurements of the rates of reaction: does not give any information about mechanism
Molecularity: the number of molecules involved in the transition state of the reaction Elementary reaction: single-step reaction ( 단일반응 )Unimolecular: only single molecule is involved in the transition state, eg) Cope rearrangement Bimolecular: two molecules are involved in the transition state, eg) SN2 Termolecular: three molecules are involved in the transition state Molecularity applies only to elementary reactions and is basically a statement about the mechanism of the reaction.
Rate law

Relationship to the Arrhenius rate law
Arrhenius rate law
A: frequency factor (pre-exponential factor)Ea: activation energyT: absolute temperature
Eyring equation
Eyring equation: analyzes a microscopic rate constant for a single-step conversion of a reactant to a product. In a multistep process involving reactive intermediates, there is an Eyring equation and thus a G‡ for each and every step.
Arrhenius rate law: arises from empirical observations of the macroscopic rate constants for a particular conversion, such as A going to B by various paths. It is ignorant of any mechanistic considerations, such as whether one or more reactive intermediates are involved in the overall conversion of A to B. Ea describes the overall transformation.
Boltzmann distributions and temperature dependence
The higher temperature reaction proceeds faster due to the larger area under the curve past the activation energy
Boltzmann distribution
Experimental determinations of activation parameters and Arrhenius parameters
Arrhenius equation
Eyring equation
T -> k --- H‡, S‡, G‡
Examples of activation parameters and their interpretations
+
Gas phase H‡ = 15.5 kcal/mol S‡ = -34 eu
N N BuBu 2 Bu + N2
Gas phase H‡ = 52 kcal/mol S‡ = 19 eu
H‡ : the latter > the former why? the former; concerted reaction -> bond making accompanies bond breaking S‡ : the latter > the former why? The former -> two molecules become one molecule -> the loss of translational and rotational degrees of freedom the latter -> one molecule becomes three molecules
O O O
Diels-Alder reaction
Claisen rearrangement
S‡ = -8 eu
1, 2, 4, 6-> molecules combine3,5,7-> bond breaking
1; -26 eu -> 26 cal/mol K x 298 K = 7.75 kcal/mol in G‡
-> decrease in the rate constantby a factor of 500,000, relative to a reaction with a S‡ = 0
Postulates and principles related to kinetic analysis
Hammond postulate
Transition states are transient in nature and generally cannot be directly characterized by experimental means.This postulate is likely the most widely used principle for estimating the structures of activated complexes that give us insights into chemical reactivity.; the activated complex most resembles the adjacent reactant, intermediate, or product that it is closest in energy to.
exothermic endothermic
To obey the Hammond postulate
이런 경우도 있다 . 그러나 대부분의 경우7.9 와 같은 reaction coordinates 를 갖는다
The Hammond postulate does not predict the height of the barrier compared to the reactant and product.
The reactivity vs. selectivity principle
The more reactive a compound is, the less selective it will be.
More reactive molecules -> being higher in energy or having more exothermic reactions.
-> the more reactive species will produce a transition state that more resembles the reactant.
Thus, the transition state is not very sensitive to the structure of other components involved
in the reaction, and it is affected little by the structure of the product.
-> If the reaction is not sensitive to the structure of the product, it can not select between different
products and hence is not selective.
Cl· is much more reactive than Br· (H-Cl > H-Br).-> H· abstraction by Cl· is an exothermic reaction-> very little radical character on carbon in TS-> quite indiscriminate about which H is abstracted (chlorination is much less selective than bromination)H· abstraction by Br· is an endothermic reaction -> large radical character on carbon in TS-> H· abstraction by Br· is quite selective
Bond strength
The Curtin-Hammett principleThis principle states that the ratio of products is determined by the relative heights of the highest energy
barriers leading to the different products, and is not significantly influenced by the relative energies of
any isomers, conformers, or intermediates formed prior to the highest energy transition states.
This principle is applicable when the barriers interconverting the different starting points is much lower
than the barriers to form products.
Product ratio = [P1]/[P2] = (d[P1]/dt) / (d[P2]/dt)

Kinetic vs. thermodynamic control
Thermodynamic control: product composition is governed by equilibrium of the system.
Kinetic control: product composition is governed by reaction rate or activation energy.

Kinetic analyses for simple mechanisms
Kinetic experiments
Goal of kinetics: to establish a quantitative relationship between the concentrations of reactants
and / or products, and the rate of the reactions.
First order kinetics
A -> P
v =
half-life time (t1/2): time required for 50% of the starting material to be consumed
[A] = [A]0/2 -> t1/2
t1/2 =ln2/k = 0.693/k
t
ln[A]slope = -k (1/sec)
- plot of ln[A] vs t will be linear - t1/2 is constant - k should not depend on [A]0
[A]0 = [A] + [P]
Bimolecular reaction
rds
ii 가 rds 에 관여하지 않는다 .-> Support a rate-determining unimolecular decomposition of i to give cyclopentyne
Second order kinetics
A + B -> P
[A]0 = [A] + [P] [B]0 = [B] + [P] [A]- [A]0 = [B] - [B]0
= k[A]([B]0 - [A]0 +[A]) = -d[A]/dt
1
[B]0 - [A]0
ln[A]0([B]0 - [A]0 +[A])
[B]0[A]= kt
Pseudo-first order kinetics
Second order kinetics: too complicating -> Pseudo-first order kinetics
A + B -> P
B -> a large excess (usually 10 equivalents or more) -> [B] will change little during the course of the reaction : [B] ~ [B]0
-> pseudo-first order kinetics
k’ = kobs = k[B]0
t
ln[A]slope = -kobs = -k[B]0
Determination of k
Vary concentration of the excess [B]

slope = kkobs

Initial rate kinetics
- In case that the reaction is slow, it is difficult to follow the reaction to several half-lives
in order to obtain a reliable rate constant
- Many reactions start to have significant competing pathways as the reaction proceeds,
causing deviations from the ideal behaviors.
Initial rate kinetics:
only follow the reaction to 5% or 10% completion ([A] ~ [A]0), thereby avoiding complications that may arise later in the reaction and/or allowing us to solve for rate constants in a reasonable time period.-> this approach is inherently less accurate than a full monitoring of a reaction over several half-lives, but often it is the best we can do.
= k[A]0
[P] = k[A]0t
slope = k[A]0
Plotting [P] versus t over the first few percent of the reactiongives a line whose slope is k[A]0

Steady state kinetics
Complex reactions – deciphering mechanisms
Most organic, bioorganic, and organometallic mechanisms have more than one step,
and frequently involve reactive intermediates.
-> such mechanisms can produce complex rate laws that are difficult to analyze.
The concentration of the reactive intermediate is constant during the reaction
since the reactive intermediate (short life-time) is not accumulated during the reaction
Steady state approximation (SSA)
A + B -> P
Rate of the formation of I = rate of disappearance of I

rate = d[P]/dt = kcat[ES]
d[ES]/dt = k1[E][S] – k-1[ES] - kcat[ES] = 0
[E]0 = [E] + [ES]
k1([E]0-[ES])[S] – k-1[ES] - kcat[ES] = 0
[E] = [E]0 - [ES]
[E]0[S]Km = (k-1 + kcat)/k1
[ES] =Km + [S]

1. kcat: catalytic constant turnover number: the maximum number of substrate molecules converted to products per active site per unit time
2. Km : apparent dissociation constant that may be treated as the overall dissociation constants of all enzyme-bound species.
Reactions with half-lives greater than a few seconds
Methods for following kinetics
No special technique requirement for generating the reactants and/or mixing the reactants
-> the kinetic analysis can be performed with chromatographic and spectroscopic methods.
Chromatographic analysis : HPLC or GC
Spectroscopic analysis: continuous analysis is possible (UV, fluorescence) or NMR

Tunneling
Sometimes KIE of 50 or larger are observed for comparisons of H vs D.-> Tunneling is a quantum mechanical phenomenon involving penetration of the wavefunction for the molecule through the barrier for the reaction than over it.-> the tunneling is very sensitive to the mass of the tunneling particle.-> tunneling is usually associated with proton or hydrogen transfers or electron transfers.
Substituent effects
The origin of substituent effects
Field effects
- is one of that originates from such a through-space interaction- is often very hard to separate from inductive effects
A quaternary ammonium with a full positive charge produces an electric field that can influence distant atoms in the same or neighboring molecules.
Inductive effects- results from the ability of an atom or group of atoms to withdraw or donate electrons through bond.
F; poor at making HBs; but more stable collagen; inductive effects
Resonance effects
- the ability of an atom or group of atoms to withdraw or donate electrons through bonds.
Polarizability effects
- defined as the extent to which the electron cloud of the structure can undergo distortion.
