Abstract:
Despite being a very useful C-C bond forming and highly applicative reaction, Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reaction has been limited by its excessive slow reaction rate, including its intramolecular version. In certain cases, reaction time may even go to weeks and months. A highly chemoselective and rate accelerated intramolecular MBH reaction of just 15 min has been developed. The product dihydroquinoline, being unstable, was converted to an important quinoline framework. In some cases IMBH adducts were isolable, thus confirming the reaction path. Control experiments toward mechanism investigation have been carried out. Use of sodium sulfide has emerged as a rate accelerating catalyst in DMF-EtOH solvent system. Reaction intermediate for IMBH pathway was isolated and characterized. Other aspects such as the application of IMBH adduct for Michael addition and amidation have also been carried out.

02:55Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...
