| Research Abstract |
This is a fundamental research to investigate the structure-reactivity relationship of phenyl cations, which are highly reactive and important intermediates for synthesis, with respect to the mechanism of the conjugative stabilization of phenyl cations.
1)Semi-empirical and ab initio calculations on the optimized structures of substituted phenyl cations revealed that highly stabilized phenyl cations with electron-donating groups at meta position have "non-planar" structures, whose stability and nonplanality are closely related.
2)Photosolvolysis of 2-propylphenyl chloride gave rise to the products via 2-propylphenyl cation intermediate which were similarly obtained in the thermal decomposition of 2-propylbenzenediazonium ions.
3)The effects of solvents, electron-donating ability of meta-substituents, and electron-affinity of leaving grous on the ratio of two products via aryl radical and aryl cation intermediates were investigated in the photo-solvolysis of aryl triflates and chlorides, where hydrogen abstraction of aryl radicals from solvent and nucleophilic attach of solvent on aryl cations occured competitively.
4)In the photo-solvolysis of ortho-hydroxyphenyl chloride ring contraction of the intermediate oxido-phenyl cations occured competitively with the nucleophilic solvent attack on the hydroxyphenyl cations. The experimental results were investigated by computational calculations.
