Abstract
To explore the ambident electrophilic reactivity of dimethyl carbonate (DMC), reactions with the ambident nucleophile phenylhydrazine were investigated. When a Brönsted base was used, selective carboxymethylation occurred at N-1, after that several other compounds were produced selectively utilizing various conditions. Formation of these compounds was explained by using the Hard-Soft Acid-Base (HSAB) theory. Catalysis by some metal salts altered the reactivity of phenylhydrazine, which effected selective carboxymethylation at N-2 of phenylhydrazine insteadFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
