<i>E</i> versus <i>Z</i> Diazeniumdiolation of Acetoacetate-Derived Carbanions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nitric oxide adds to methyl acetoacetate in the presence of KOH in methanol at room temperature to form potassium acetylsydnonate N-oxide (K1) with an (E)-diazeniumdiolation and potassium acetate diazenium diolate (K(2)2) from a (Z)-diazeniumdiolation. A study of the reaction with LiOH, NaOH, and NMe(4)OH and with ethyl acetate substrate reveals that the temperature of the reaction greatly influences the nitric oxide reactivity. At 23 °C, nitric oxide adds to give both E and Z products, whereas at -5 °C the gas reacts almost exclusively to give Z addition. The (Z)-diazeniumdiolation products, namely, the alkali metal and NMe(4)(+) salts of methyl and ethylbutenoate-2-diazeniumdiolate-3-hydroxylate (3(2-) and 4(2-)), are isolated in good yields. The alkali metal salts are not amenable for recrystallization because of their ready decomposition in aqueous solutions. However, [NMe(4)](2)[MeC(O)C(N(2)O(2))CO(2)Me] is readily recrystallized from a methanol/acetonitrile solvent mixture. The crystals are unambiguously characterized by X-ray crystallography. NMR spectra for all of the 3(2-) and 4(2-) salts reveal the presence of two isomers in aq solutions. But the structure of the NMe(4)(+) salt contains only one of the isomers. Our attempts to cyclize the isolated and purified butenoatediazeniumdiolates from the (Z)-diazeniumdiolation to the E-containing sydnonate products were unsuccessful. TGA/DSC data for all of the products demonstrate the thermal instability of the salts at high temperatures. The salts decompose exothermally possibly with the release of N(2)O among other gases.

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.
