Reaction Formation Puns

I'm reaching a point in disentangling my own emotions, sorting out the ones that are authentic and the ones that appear to be merely reactive, strategic, or based out of reaction formation.

Reaction formation is an early term- one of the few solid insights that Freud actually produced- that is used to refer to unconscious and deeply conditioned emotional reactions. It refers to any behavioral reaction used to cover a deeper feeling the feeler doesn't want to feel. The classic example is the violent homophobe who is secretly (unconsciously) afraid they are queer. Other examples are phobias that cover for fascination (we are terrified of heights because we really want to jump), or we experience a huge amount of rage to cover for an equally huge amount of woundedness or fear of rejection. We make ourselves big and loud because we are afraid we are small and invisible. As a child I experienced a huge amount of paternal rage because my dad probably was afraid he wasn't valued.

This means I've adopted the curse of experiencing anger whenever I'm afraid of not being seen or heard, and this pattern is becoming increasingly visible to me. I have an internal character that feels its necessary for their survival to feel rage whenever they believe someone is not properly acknowledging them. It's anger, but not a direct, honest, boundary setting anger. It's a visceral reaction designed to hide my fear of not mattering. It's one of my reaction formations.

What am I'm asking myself now is: how many people around me actually felt authentic emotions? How many of the people in my family of origin and in my surroundings were simply tightly wound bundles of reaction formation patterns? Was everyone crazy, including me? Are we all crazy now? It feels confusing, but I guess it's part of the process.

I would think it’s a Sn1 reaction because that’s what my book says and the O is being replaced with an NH group. But according to other sources I’ve read it is a nucleophilic addition reaction.

I don't really understand how these are different (esp heat of formations vs heat of reaction) or why the bond dissociation energy is the reverse of the former two.

Any help?

I am playing in Hirschfelden and i watched some videos about geese hunting. Then can be spotted and shot while flying in V formation. I tested being hidden using caller and many geese V formation flyed over me and i am not able to spot them and they dont reaction at all. Is this one of the broken features on PC???

Metal-catalyzed acylnitrene transfer reactions are widely proposed to proceed via M(NCOR) intermediates. In their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/anie.202100668), Chi-Ming Che and co-workers report [Ru(Por)Cl2]-catalyzed highly selective acylnitrene transfer to alkenes, indoles, silyl enol ethers, and C(sp3)−H bonds to afford aziridines/oxazolines, 3-aminoindoles, α-aminoketones, and N-acyl amines, respectively, and also experimental and computational evidence that porphyrin-supported Ru(NCOR) intermediates, which belong to RuV-imido species, are involved in these reactions.

Experimental studies including ESI-MS, EPR spectroscopy and KIE, and also DFT calculations point to the intermediacy of a porphyrin-supported RuV(NCOR) species in [RuIV(Por)Cl2]-catalyzed C−N bond formation reactions with acyl azides N3COR (up to 99 % yield). The [RuIV(Por)Cl2]/N3COR catalytic method is applicable to various substrates, including alkenes, indoles, silyl enol ethers, and C(sp3)−H bonds.

Abstract

Metal-catalyzed C−N bond formation reactions via acylnitrene transfer have recently attracted much attention, but direct detection of the proposed acylnitrenoid/acylimido M(NCOR) (R=aryl or alkyl) species in these reactions poses a formidable challenge. Herein, we report on Ru(NCOR) intermediates in C−N bond formation catalyzed by [RuIV(Por)Cl2]/N3COR, a catalytic method applicable to aziridine/oxazoline formation from alkenes, amination of substituted indoles, α-amino ketone formation from silyl enol ethers, amination of C(sp3)−H bonds, and functionalization of natural products and carbohydrate derivatives (up to 99 % yield). Experimental studies, including HR-ESI-MS and EPR measurements, coupled with DFT calculations, lend evidence for the formulation of the Ru(NCOR) acylnitrenoids as a RuV-imido species.

What isn't a reaction formation? When is it a gray area? Any papers? Refutations of the term?

From Wikipedia:

>In a diagnostic setting, the existence of a reaction-formation rather than a 'simple' emotion would be suspected where exaggeration, compulsiveness and inflexibility were observed. For example:
>
>"[r]eactive love protests too much; it is overdone, extravagant, showy, and affected. It is counterfeit, and [...] is usually easily detected. Another feature of a reaction formation is its compulsiveness. A person who is defending himself against anxiety cannot deviate from expressing the opposite of what he really feels. His love, for instance, is not flexible. It cannot adapt itself to changing circumstances as genuine emotions do; rather it must be constantly on display as if any failure to exhibit it would cause the contrary feeling to come to the surface.[3]
>
>Reaction formation is sometimes described as one of the most difficult defenses for lay people to understand;[1] this testifies not merely to its effectiveness as a disguise, but also to its ubiquity and flexibility as a defense that can be utilized in many forms. For example,

>"solicitude may be a reaction-formation against cruelty, cleanliness against coprophilia",[2]

>and it is not unknown for an analyst to explain a client's unconditional pacifism as a reaction formation against their sadism. In addition,

Romantic notions of chastity and purity may mask crude sexual desires, altruism may hide selfishness, and piety may conceal sinfulness."[3]Even more counter-intuitively, according to this model

Scholl reaction is a classic method for the synthesis of various polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. However, the fundamental reaction mechanisms remain unclear and the products sometimes are unpredictable. Herein, we report the successful synthesis of a planar dibenzo-peri-hexacene derivative ( 2 ) via FeCl 3 -mediated Scholl reaction from a cyclopenta-fused perylene (CP) based polyphenylene precursor ( 1 ). However, an unexpected octagon-containing, negatively curved molecule ( 3 ) was obtained in nearly quantitative yield when 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) and methanesulfonic acid (MeSO 3 H) were used. Similar results were observed when two smaller-sized precursors containing one ( 4 ) or two CP units ( 5 ) were tested. The structures of the final products were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis, which also reveal that there is no close p-p stacking between neighbouring p-conjugated skeletons. DFT calculations suggest a radical cation mechanism in the presence of FeCl 3 while an arenium ion pathway for the DDQ/MeSO 3 H mediated Scholl reaction, which can well explain the selective formation of hexagons and octagons under different conditions. The obtained compounds showed tunable optical and electrochemical properties. In particular, their non-aggregative feature endows them moderate-to-high photoluminescence quantum yields, which are desirable for solid-state luminescence devices.

Metal‐catalyzed C‐N bond formation reactions via acylnitrene transfer have recently attracted much attention, but direct detection of the proposed acylnitrenoid/acylimido M(NCOR) (R = aryl or alkyl) species in these reactions poses a formidable challenge. Herein we report on Ru(NCOR) intermediates in C‐N bond formation catalyzed by [Ru IV (Por)Cl 2 ]/N 3 COR, a catalytic method applicable to aziridine/oxazoline formation from alkenes, amination of substituted indoles, α‐amino ketone formation from silyl enol ethers, amination of C(sp 3 )‐H bonds, and functionalization of natural products and carbohydrate derivatives (up to 99% yield). Experimental studies including HR‐ESI‐MS and EPR measurements, coupled with DFT calculations, lend evidence for the formulation of the Ru(NCOR) acylnitrenoids as a Ru V ‐imido species.
