Abstract:
Through the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) calculations, theoretical studies of structural parameters, electronic properties, infrared vibration modes, and charge density topologies on the C2H4O∙∙∙HX and C2H5N∙∙∙HX (X = F or O-F) heterocylic hydrogen complexes are presented. The H-bond distances and high energies point out strong contacts and stable interactions in these complexes, and the relationships between the frequency shifts on the H-F and H-O bonds as well as O-F σ-holes with the interaction strength are the benchmarks of this current work. The computations of charge transfer amounts in light of the ChelpG and NBO approaches revealed a separation of charge density on the O-F σ-holes, whose statement is reinforced by the QTAIM descriptors. Despite that O∙∙∙H and N∙∙∙H H-bonds have been characterized as closed-shell interactions, qualitatively the appearance of a partial covalent profile also was unveiled by the QTAIM protocol.

01:07Preparation of Acid Anhydrides
The carboxylate ion acts as a nucleophile that attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acid chloride to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Subsequently, the re-formation of the carbonyl group with the loss of the chloride ion as a leaving group leads to the formation of an acid...

As shown below, the mechanism involves a nucleophilic attack by water at the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. This is followed by the reformation of the carbon–oxygen π bond along with the departure of a halide ion. A final proton transfer step yields carboxylic...
02:38Electrophilic Addition to Alkynes: Halogenation
Halogenation is another class of electrophilic addition reactions where a halogen molecule gets added across a π bond. In alkynes, the presence of two π bonds allows for the addition of two equivalents of halogens (bromine or chlorine). The addition of the first halogen molecule forms a trans-dihaloalkene as the major product and the cis isomer as the minor product. Subsequent addition of the second equivalent yields the tetrahalide.

01:13Relative Reactivity of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
A key factor in assessing the reactivity of the acid derivatives is the basicity of the substituent or the leaving group. The lower the basicity of the leaving group, the higher the reactivity of the derivative. The basicity of the leaving group follows this order:
Halide ions < Acyloxy ions < Alkoxy ions < Amine ions
