This transformation has not previously been done catalytically and has not been done in practical manner with stepwise or stoichiometric processes. Building on the previous work of the Lambert lab on the metathesis of cyclopropene and an aldehyde using a hydrazine catalyst, this work discusses efforts to expand to the less stained norbornene. Computational and experimental studies on the catalytic cycle are discussed, including detailed experimental work on how various factors affect the difficult cycloreversion step. The second portion of this thesis details the use of chiral cyclopropenimine bases as catalysts for asymmetric Michael reactions. The Lambert lab has previously developed chiral cyclopropenimine bases for glycine imine nucleophiles. The scope of these catalysts was expanded to include glycine imine derivatives in which the nitrogen atom was replaced with a carbon atom, and to include imines derived from other amino acids. i Table of Contents List of Abbreviations…………………………………………………………………………..iv Part I: Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis…………………………………………………………… 1 Chapter 1 – Metathesis Reactions of Double Bonds………………………………………….. 1 Introduction………………………………………………………………………………. 1 Olefin Metathesis………………………………………………………………………… 2 Wittig Reaction…………………………………………………………………………... 6 Tebbe Olefination………………………………………………………………………... 9 Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis…………………………………………………………….

The reaction was performed at 95 K in neat films of the reactants. IR absorption spectra of the gaseous products were recorded. The spectra were analyzed combining experimental results with theoretical calculations performed at B3LYP 6-311++G (3df, 3pd) level. We found that among all theoretically predicted conformers of propene secondary ozonide, only one which has the O-O half-chair configuration for the five membered ring and the radical attached in the equatorial position was present in the sample. Samples of 1-butene and 1-heptene secondary ozonides consist from two conformers of very similar energy (ΔH =0.3 kJ/mol). The most stable conformer for both ozonides is the one with O-O half-chair configuration of the five membered ring and the radical attached in equatorial position and the aliphatic chain in gauche position. The second stable conformer has the aliphatic chain in anti position. c Versita Warsaw and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. All rights reserved.

  • Elimination Reactions Are Described
    Introduction In this module, different types of elimination reactions are described. From a practical standpoint, elimination reactions widely used for the generation of double and triple bonds in compounds from a saturated precursor molecule. The presence of a good leaving group is a prerequisite in most elimination reactions. Traditional classification of elimination reactions, in terms of the molecularity of the reaction is employed. How the changes in the nature of the substrate as well as reaction conditions affect the mechanism of elimination are subsequently discussed. The stereochemical requirements for elimination in a given substrate and its consequence in the product stereochemistry is emphasized. ELIMINATION REACTIONS Objective and Outline beta-eliminations E1, E2 and E1cB mechanisms Stereochemical considerations of these reactions Examples of E1, E2 and E1cB reactions Alpha eliminations and generation of carbene I. Basics Elimination reactions involve the loss of fragments or groups from a molecule to generate multiple bonds. A generalized equation is shown below for 1,2-elimination wherein the X and Y from two adjacent carbon atoms are removed, elimination C C C C -XY X Y Three major types of elimination reactions are: α-elimination: two atoms or groups are removed from the same atom. It is also known as 1,1-elimination. H R R C X C + HX R Both H and X are removed from carbon atom here R Carbene β-elimination: loss of atoms or groups on adjacent atoms. It is also H H known as 1,2- elimination. R C C R R HC CH R X H γ-elimination: loss of atoms or groups from the 1st and 3rd positions as shown below.

    An Abstract OF THE THESIS OF Jose C. Danino for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry presented on _Dcc, Title: Carbene RearrangementE) Intramolecular Interaction of a Triple Bond with aCarbene Center Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Dr. Vetere. Freeman The tosylhydrazones of2-heptanone, 4,4-dimethy1-2- heptanone, 6-heptyn-2-one and 4,4-dimethy1-6-heptyn-2- one were synthesizedand decomposed under a varietyof reaction conditions:' drylithium and sodium salt pyrolyses, sodium methoxide thermolysesin diglyme and photolyses of the lithium salt intetrahydrofuran. The saturated ana- logues 2-heptanone tosylhydrazoneand its 4,4-dimethyl isomer afforded the alkenesarising from 6-hydrogeninser- product distribution in the tion. It was determined that differ- dry salt pyrolyses of2-heptanone tosylhydrazone was ent for the lithiumand the sodium salts. However, the product distribution of thedry sodium salt was verysimilar diglyme to product distributionobtained on thermolysis in explained by a with sodium methoxide. This difference was reaction of lithium bromide(present as an impurity inall compound to the lithium salts)with the intermediate diazo afford an organolithiumintermediate that behaves in a some- what different fashionthan the free carbene.The unsaturated analogues were found to produce a cyclic product in addition to the expected acyclic alkenes arising from 3-hydrogen insertion. By comparison of the acyclic alkene distri- bution obtained in the saturated analogues with those in the unsaturated analogues, it was concluded that at leastsome cyclization was occurring via addition of the diazo moiety to the triple bond. It was determined that the organo- lithium intermediateresulting from lithium bromide cat- alyzed decomposition of the diazo compound was incapable of cyclization.

  • Chapter 21 Organic Chemistry
    CHAPTER 21 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Hydrocarbons 1. A hydrocarbon is a compound composed of only carbon and hydrogen. A saturated hydro- carbon has only carbon-carbon single bonds in the molecule. An unsaturated hydrocarbon has one or more carbon-carbon multiple bonds but may also contain carbon-carbon single bonds. A normal hydrocarbon has one chain of consecutively bonded carbon atoms. A branched hydrocarbon has at least one carbon atom not bonded to the end carbon of a chain of consecutively bonded carbon atoms. Instead, at least one carbon atom forms a bond to an inner carbon atom in the chain of consecutively bonded carbon atoms. 2. To determine the number of hydrogens bonded to the carbons in cyclic alkanes (or any alkane where they may have been omitted), just remember that each carbon has four bonds. In cycloalkanes, only the C−C bonds are shown. It is assumed you know that the remaining bonds on each carbon are C−H bonds. The number of C−H bonds is that number required to give the carbon four total bonds. 3. In order to form, cyclopropane and cyclobutane are forced to form bond angles much smaller than the preferred 109.5° bond angles. Cyclopropane and cyclobutane easily react in order to obtain the preferred 109.5° bond angles. 4. Aromatic hydrocarbons are a special class of unsaturated hydrocarbons based on the benzene ring. Benzene has the formula C6H6. It is a planar molecule (all atoms are in the same plane). Each carbon in benzene is attached to three other atoms; it exhibits trigonal planar geometry with 120° bond angles.
