DETERMINATION OF THE REACTION ENTHALPY AND KINETIC-PARAMETERS FOR THEISOMERIZATION OF BRIDGED DEWAR BENZENES TO 8,9-DISUBSTITUTED [6]PARACYCLOPHANES BY DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETRY
H. Dreeskamp et al., DETERMINATION OF THE REACTION ENTHALPY AND KINETIC-PARAMETERS FOR THEISOMERIZATION OF BRIDGED DEWAR BENZENES TO 8,9-DISUBSTITUTED [6]PARACYCLOPHANES BY DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETRY, Tetrahedron, 51(11), 1995, pp. 3137-3140
In solution the reaction enthalpy for the thermal isomerization of the
Dewar isomers 2a and 2b to their corresponding 8,9-disubstituted [6]p
aracyclophanes 1a and 1b was determined as -128+/-13 kJ . mol(-1) and
-146+/-15 kJ . mol(-1), while the activation energies were found to be
101+/-10 kJ . mol(-1) and 117+/-12 kJ . mol(-1) respectively. An impr
oved calorimetric technique was employed using samples in sealed NMR t
ubes.
