Synthesis of novel sulfonyl-stabilized phosphorus ylides, and the kinetics and mechanism of their conventional and flash vacuum pyrolysis reactions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nine substituted sulfonyl-stabilized phosphorus ylides were prepared by treating their intermediate ylide analogues with phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride. The stoichiometric ratio of the reactants for each preparation needed to be adjusted according to the basicity of each ylide intermediate. The nine ylide compounds were then subjected to conventional (sealed-tube) gas-phase pyrolysis at 470545 K. The pyrolytic reactions were homogeneous and obeyed a first-order rate equation. The values of the Arrhenius log A (s 1 ) and E a (kJ mol 1 ) obtained for these reactions averaged 11.12 ± 2.00 and 131.8 ± 24.4, respectively. Analysis of the pyrolysates from conventional pyrolysis and from flash vacuum pyrolysis at 600 K showed the products to be complex mixtures of triphenylphosphine, triphenylphosphine oxide, triphenylphosphine sulfide, and symmetric and unsymmetric alkenes. Conventional pyrolysis also gave novel mixed sulfones and, for the p-methoxyaryl substituent, p-anisaldehyde. The products of the reactions under study are explained on the basis of a mechanism involving a sulfonyl carbene intermediate, and the reaction mechanism is used to rationalize the kinetic results and molecular reactivities.Key words: ylides, synthesis, pyrolysis, kinetics, mechanism.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
