The selective reduction of alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is investigated and the thermodynamic data and Molecule ID Card are established to analyze the reduction mechanism.
The selective reduction of alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is one of the core reactions and also a difficult task for organic synthesis. We have been attempting to study the thermodynamic data of these compounds to create a theoretical basis for organic synthesis and computational chemistry. By electrochemical measurement method and titration calorimetry, in acetonitrile at 298 K, the hydride affinity of two types of unsaturated bonds in alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, their single-electron reduction potential, and the single-electron reduction potential of the corresponding radical intermediate are determined. Their hydrogen atom affinity, along with the hydrogen atom affinity and proton affinity of the corresponding radical anion, is also derived separately based on thermodynamic cycles. The above data are used to establish the corresponding Molecule ID Card (Molecule identity card) and analyze the reduction mechanism of unsaturated carbonyl compounds. Primarily, the mixture of any carbonyl hydride ions and Ac-tempo(+) will stimulate hydride transfer process and create corresponding alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and Ac-tempoH from a thermodynamic point of view.
