Outline • Introduction • My Project • Reaction • Mechanism • MO Calculations and reaction energy • Substituents Effect
Introduction • Many studies on the hydrolysis of imines in the presence of , and . • Alkaline hydrolysis of the imine anion involves intermolecular general base catalysis. • The effect of stabilizing the aldimine linkage to hydrolytic splitting is maximum for . • Generation of complexed phenoxyl-containing species depends on the presence of substituents at the ortho and para positions of the phenolate ring.
My Project • Hydrolysis of imine in the presence of . • Imine hydrolysis by triethylamine and water. • Computational studies investigating all the parts of the reaction.
Imine Hydrolysis Reaction + Pyridine t-butyl Phenol HBPIE
Cu Complex Reaction Cu Complex Reaction + + 2 2
MO Calculations • Standard ab initio molecular orbital calculations are performed at B3LYP/ 6-31G(d) • Optimization and frequency method calculation • Collection of electronic energy and zero point correction.
Substituent’s Effect on Phenoxyl Complexes • The generation of complexed phenoxyl-containing species depends on the presence of substituents at the ortho and para positions of the phenolate ring. • Unsubstituted phenolates are much less electroactive than those containing bulky electron-donor t-butyl groups.
Current Developing Studies • The chemistry of electroactivity of phenoxyl species is being developed with several di- and trivalent ions in order to evaluate the geometries preferences of the ligands.
