Flash Photolysis of 10-Diazo-9(10H)-phenanthrenone in Aqueous Solution. Hydration of Fluorenylideneketene and the Fluorene-9-carboxylic Acid Keto−Enol System

Abstract: Flash photolysis of 10-diazo-9(10H)-phenanthrenone in aqueous solution was found to give two successively formed transient species and to produce fluorene-9-carboxylic acid as the major reaction product. These transients were identified, through solvent isotope effects and the form of acid-base catalysis, as fluorenylideneketene, formed by photo-Wolff reaction of the diazophenanthrenone, and fluorene-9-carboxylic acid enol, formed by hydration of this ketene. Analysis of the rate profile of the enol ketonizati… Show more

“…Recent studies on the preparation of these enols, especially of amides, involve two approaches. (1) Addition of nucleophiles (e.g., H 2 O, RR′NH) to ketenes;4–14 this mostly gives short‐lived enols,4–14 although several of them are kinetically stabilized by bulky aryl groups15–23 and are sufficiently long‐lived to be detected by 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopies 15–23. (2) Addition of organic isocyanates RNCO to CH 2 YY′ (where Y and Y′ are electron‐withdrawing groups (EWGs)) gives the amides 2 , and/or their enols 1 , X = NRR′ or 1 / 2 mixtures 24–32.…”

“…More generally speaking, most enols are short-lived reactive species and they readily isomerize to their ketoforms; enols can be stabilized through resonance, [23] steric factors, [1] and electronic effects. [2,24] Experimental methods such as time-resolved spectroscopy, [5,25] neutralization-reionization mass spectrometry, [26,27] NMR as well as IR spectroscopy, [28] and other spectroscopic techniques [29] along with computational methods [30][31][32][33] have played a significant role in understanding the structures and reactivities of enols. The simplest enol, ethenol (vinyl alcohol), was generated in the gas phase through the pyrolysis of ethylene glycol.…”

“…More importantly, the less well-documented experimental problem of assigning calculated rate constants, k 1 and k 2 , obtained from nonlinear regression analysis to the appropriate steps in the reaction sequence is addressed. This problem has been documented by a few authors, and essentially two methods have been described which deal with the ambiguity of rate constant assignments (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). These methods rely either on inclusion of additional chemical knowledge or on analysis of the variation of absorption coefficients to remove the ambiguity.…”
