Acetylenes aliphatic

Data are also available with a-acetylenic aliphatic sulphones, which involve only two steps i.e., saturation of the triple bond without subsequent cleavage of the Caliphalic—S bond, since it is not reactive. However, the introduction of an aromatic ring to the S02 group does not lead, contrary to what is observed with enones, to a potential shift toward less reducing potential values. Thus, the aromatic moiety introduced apparently does not bring any additional conjugation effect but even seems to decrease the activation of the unsaturated bond, as shown by data in Tables 6 and 7 where most of the potentials refer to the same saturated calomel electrode under similar experimental conditions.

Hydrocarbons, compounds of carbon and hydrogen, are stmcturally classified as aromatic and aliphatic the latter includes alkanes (paraffins), alkenes (olefins), alkynes (acetylenes), and cycloparaffins. An example of a low molecular weight paraffin is methane [74-82-8], of an olefin, ethylene [74-85-1], of a cycloparaffin, cyclopentane [287-92-3], and of an aromatic, benzene [71-43-2]. Cmde petroleum oils [8002-05-9], which span a range of molecular weights of these compounds, excluding the very reactive olefins, have been classified according to their content as paraffinic, cycloparaffinic (naphthenic), or aromatic. The hydrocarbon class of terpenes is not discussed here. Terpenes, such as turpentine [8006-64-2] are found widely distributed in plants, and consist of repeating isoprene [78-79-5] units (see Isoprene Terpenoids). 

Aliphatic Chemicals. The primary aliphatic hydrocarbons used in chemical manufacture are ethylene (qv), propjiene (qv), butadiene (qv), acetylene, and / -paraffins (see Hydrocarbons, acetylene). In order to be useflil as an intermediate, a hydrocarbon must have some reactivity. In practice, this means that those paraffins lighter than hexane have Httle use as intermediates. Table 5 gives 1991 production and sales from petroleum and natural gas. Information on uses of the C —C saturated hydrocarbons are available in the Hterature (see Hydrocarbons, C —C ). 

In the narrow sense, bis-maleimide resin means the thermosetting resin eom-posed of the bis-maleimide of methylene dianiline (BMI, bis(4-maleimidophenyl)-methane) and methylene dianiline (MDA, bis(4-aminophenyl)methane) (Fig. 1). Beeause of the addition meehanism, the resin is eured without elimination, whieh is a eharacteristic of this resin. Bis-maleimide resin is used as a thermally stable matrix up to 204°C (400 F) whieh typical epoxy resins may not normally be used. However, in spite of having an imide structure, bis-maleimides are classified as being moderately thermally stable resins. The aliphatic structure of the resin is not stable for long periods above 232°C (450°F.) If a highly aromatic thermally stable thermosetting resin is necessary, acetylene end-capped aromatic imide-based oligomers should be used. 

Since 17a-ethynyl-17 -hydroxy steroids are so readily prepared, they represent attractive starting materials for conversion to 20-ketopregnanes. Standard methods for the hydration of aliphatic acetylenes (e.g, mercuric salts alone, with aniline, or with BF3) give variable results, and sometimes no product at all, due to D-homo rearrangement. 233,235,265-7 mercury... 

Dimethyl sulfoxide reacts with trifluoroacetic anhydride at low tempera ture to give a complex that is an efficient reagent for the oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds [40 41] This reagent can be used to oxidize primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols, cycloalkyl alcohols, and allylic, homoallylic, ben-zylic, acetylenic, and steroidal alcohols (equation 19)... 

Although the addition of hydrazine and its derivatives to acetylenic ketones has been studied in considerable detail, their interaction with hydrazones and mono-alkylhydrazones is less well known. Yandovskii and Klindukhova (74ZOR730) have studied the reaction between hydrazones and alkylhydrazones of aliphatic ketones with dipropynylketones and showed that hydrazones of acetone, methyl-ethylketone, and cyclohexane easily add to one of the triple bonds of dipropynylketone to form 4-methyl-1,1,3-trialkyl-2,3-diaza-l,4-nonadien-7-yn-6-ones (yields... 

The reaction time between 4-iodopyrazoles and 1-alkynes varies from 5 to 25 h and the yield of products is 55-95%. It is noteworthy that the nature of the terminal acetylene has a greater effect on the rate of halogen atom substitution for low-reactive 4-iodopyrazoles. Thus, the reaction time for ethynylarenes is 5-6 h, and for less acidic aliphatic 1-alkynes is 10-25 h (Table XTT). 

Chiral modification of diorganomagnesium compounds with the dilithium salt oi (S)-l,l -bi-naphthalene-2,2 -diol gave reagents with the empirical formula 30. Good to excellent enantiose-lectivities were observed in addition reactions of aliphatic and aromatic reagents to aromatic aldehydes30,31, however, the selectivities were not satisfactory with allylic, vinylic and acetylenic reagents. 

Ethyleneimine reacts with (p-tolylsulfonyl)acetylene to give only the (Z)-product 115 via trans addition (equation 91), while primary and secondary aliphatic amines afford ( )-products76. With nonterminal acetylenes such as l-(ethylsulfonyl)-l-propyne, the reactions of ethyleneimine, n-propylamine and f-butylamine give mixtures of ( )- and (Z)-adducts. The double conjugate addition of sodium sulfide, selenide and telluride to bis(l-propynyl)sulfone (116) produces heterocycles (117) as illustrated in equation 9277. 

In the thermal reaction of aliphatic and aromatic sulfonyl chlorides with acetylenes no adduct has been observed82. However, the light-catalyzed additions of sulfonyl iodides to acetylenes83 as well as the thermal addition of sulfonyl bromides to phenylacetylene84 to form 1 1 adducts have been shown to be stereoselective and to occur in good to excellent yields. The fact that the addition occurs in a trans manner forced the authors83,84 to suggest that chain transfer by the sulfonyl halide (k ) is much faster than isomerization of the intermediate vinyl radical (k2) (see Scheme 5). 

The copper-catalyzed 1 1 additions of aliphatic and aromatic sulfonyl chlorides82,85 or bromides84 to acetylenes yielding mixtures of trans- and cis-/3-halovinyl sulfones have also been described. Highly polar solvents favored trans addition, while cis addition predominated in low polarity media84,85. A comparison between the thermal and the copper-catalyzed addition of sulfonyl bromides to phenylacetylene (cf. Scheme 6) enabled Amiel84 to suggest that the two stereoisomers do not have a common intermediate. That is, the trans addition product is a result of a normal radical chain, while the cis addition... 

Free intermediate thioaldehydes 598 or 602 and the selenoaldehydes 605 and HMDSO 7 are obtained in THF at 0°C on treatment of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes with bis(trimethylsilyl)thiane 601 or bis(trimethylsilyl)selenide 604 in the presence of traces of butyllithium, while trapping the sensitive intermediate thio- or selenoaldehydes 602 and 605 with cyclopentadiene or cyclohexadiene to furnish mixtures of endo and exo Diels-Alder adducts such as 603 a and 606 a and 603 b and 603 b [148-150], the exo/endo ratio of which can be controlled [150] (Scheme 5.48). Analogous reaction of ketones such as 2-adamantanone or acetylene ketones with MesSiXSiMes 608 (a. X=S (601) b. X=Se (604)) in the presence of... 

Martin, Padron, and coworkers have reported on the scope and limitations of the use of iron(lll) halides as effective catalysts in the coupling of alkenes or acetylenes with aldehydes to achieve a wide variety of useful synthetic transformations. All these reactions are shown in Scheme 10, which serves as a guide through the aliphatic C-C bond formation section [27]. 

Both aliphatic and aromatic terminal alkynes reacted with aliphatic aldehydes giving exclusively a mixture of ( ,Z)-1,5-dihalo-1,4-dienes and disubstituted ( )-a,p-unsaturated ketones, the former being the major products in all cases. When nonterminal aromatic acetylenes were used, the trisubstituted ( )-a,p-unsat-urated ketones were the exclusive compounds obtained. The procedure was not valid for ahphatic and unsaturated alkymes. However, the catalytic system was found to be compatible with alcohols and their corresponding acetates although limited yields were obtained. 

The above-postulated overall mechanism considers two alternative pathways depending on the nature of the acetylene derivative. Region A outlines a proposal in which the formation of the a-complex intermediate is supported by the fact that the treatment of aliphatic terminal acetylenes with FeCl3 led to 2-chloro-l-alkenes or methyl ketones (Scheme 12). The catalytic cycle outlined in region B invoked the formation of the oxetene. Any attempt to control the final balance of the obtained...
