چکیده

This work is an extension of our investigations of the Kolbe--Schmitt reaction mechanism. The last step in the para route of the carboxylation reaction of alkali metal phenoxides is investigated at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level of theory. Among several examined pathways, two mechanisms are proposed: the one involving a successive rearrangement of hydrogen and the other one based on the formation of free radicals. The former pathway is energetically comparable to the last step of the carboxylation reaction in the ortho position, whereas the latter pathway requires higher activation energy. Bearing in mind that the Kolbe--Schmitt reaction is performed at high temperatures, we assume that both reaction paths are plausible.

Influence of Alkali Metal Cations upon the Kolbe-Schmitt Reaction Mechanism

The mechanisms of the carboxylations of lithium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium phenoxides are investigated by means of the DFT method with the LANL2DZ basis set. It is shown that the reactions of all alkali metal phenoxides with carbon dioxide occur via very similar reaction mechanisms. The reactions can proceed in the ortho and para positions. The exception is lithium phenoxide which yields ...

Theoretical Study of the Kolbe-Schmitt Reaction Mechanism

A theoretical study of the Kolbe-Schmitt reaction mechanism, performed using a DFT method, reveals that the reaction between sodium phenoxide and carbon dioxide proceeds with the formation of three transition states and three intermediates. In the first step of the reaction, a polarized ONa bond of sodium phenoxide is attacked by the carbon dioxide molecule, and the intermediate NaPh-CO2 comple...

Phenylphosphate synthase: a new phosphotransferase catalyzing the first step in anaerobic phenol metabolism in Thauera aromatica.

The anaerobic metabolism of phenol in the beta-proteobacterium Thauera aromatica proceeds via para-carboxylation of phenol (biological Kolbe-Schmitt carboxylation). In the first step, phenol is converted to phenylphosphate which is then carboxylated to 4-hydroxybenzoate in the second step. Phenylphosphate formation is catalyzed by the novel enzyme phenylphosphate synthase, which was studied. Ph...

One Pot Chemically Attachment of Amino Groups on Multi walled Carbon Nanotubes Surfaces

Functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with NH2 groups under a one pot reaction is studied. During the first step of the reaction, Cl and CHCl2 groups were attached to the surfaces of MWCNTs through an electrophilic addition reaction. In the second step of process, Cl atoms were replaced with NH2 and amino groups (ethylene diamine and but...
