Addition reactions description

Molecular orbital calculations (ah initio or semiempirical methods) are also often used to provide a description of radical species and their reactions. High levels of theory are required to provide reliable data. However, rapid advances in computer power and computational methods are seeing these methods more widely used and with greater success (for leading references on the application of theory to describe radical addition reactions, see Section 1.2.7). 

The subjects of structure and bonding in metal isocyanide complexes have been discussed before 90, 156) and will not be treated extensively here. A brief discussion of this subject is presented in Section II of course, special emphasis is given to the more recent information which has appeared. Several areas of current study in the field of transition metal-isocyanide complexes have become particularly important and are discussed in this review in Section III. These include the additions of protonic compounds to coordinated isocyanides, probably the subject most actively being studied at this time insertion reactions into metal-carbon bonded species nucleophilic reactions with metal isocyanide complexes and the metal-catalyzed a-addition reactions. Concurrent with these new developments, there has been a general expansion of descriptive chemistry of isocyanide-metal complexes, and further study of the physical properties of selected species. These developments are summarized in Section IV. 

Abstract The use of A-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes as homogeneous catalysts in addition reactions across carbon-carbon double and triple bonds and carbon-heteroatom double bonds is described. The discussion is focused on the description of the catalytic systems, their current mechanistic understanding and occasionally the relevant organometallic chemistry. The reaction types covered include hydrogenation, transfer hydrogenation, hydrosilylation, hydroboration and diboration, hydroamination, hydrothiolation, hydration, hydroarylation, allylic substitution, addition, chloroesterification and chloroacylation. 

The electron-donor N -oxide oxygen atom of a nitrone makes it suitable for com-plexation and protonation. Such properties of nitrones have been widely used to influence their reactivity, using Lewis acids and protonation in nucleophilic addition reactions (see Section 2.6.6). In this chapter, the chemistry of nitrones with various metal ions [Zn (II), Cu(II), Mn (II), Ni (II), Fe (II), Fe (III), Ru (II), Os (II), Rh (I), UO2 2 ] (375, 382, 442-445), and diarylboron chelates is described (234—237, 446). Accurate descriptions of the structures of all complexes have been established by X-ray analysis. 

The reactions of dienes and other polyenes can be broadly classified as either addition reactions, coupling (or substitution reactions) or rearrangements (including metathesis reactions). This chapter will present recent examples from the literature of synthetic transformations involving polyenes. Cycloaddition and ring closing metathesis reactions appeared in volume one of this series and therefore will not be covered in this chapter. Citations for more detailed descriptions of the individual reactions discussed in this chapter and for more comprehensive reviews appear in the text. 

Properties and Composition.—.The properties of gamboge have been, to some extent, treated of in the foregoing description. The following are additional reactions f—... 

Most reactions of this type were found to involve acyclic 1,4-dipolar intermediates which cydize to four-membered heterocydes or are intercepted by isocyanate or C=X components, such as C=N, C=S, and CR2, to form a six membered ring. This group of reactions is illustrated in Figure 1. Depending on the nature of the isocyanate and the double-bond system, any of the products shown in Figure 1 can be obtained. Variations in the component ratio or judicious choice of reagents are noted to have pronounced control of product type. Additional reaction details, as well as a description of the multiple transformations involving adjacent substituents, have been summarized (28). 

The second class of TAM RE AC s inventory includes the reactions between the coordinated ligands and external organic reagents. We divide these reactions into nucleophilic and electrophilic attacks and consider them as acid-base interactions. Table III presents their general description. The nucleophilic attacks are either addition reactions to unsaturated coordinated ligands (Reactions 44-46) or abstraction reactions (usually a proton abstraction, Reactions 47-50). The electrophilic attacks are similarly addition reactions (Reactions 51 and 52) and abstraction reactions (usually a hydride abstraction, Reactions 53-59). Reactions 60 to 63 represent some other intermolecular reactions. 

This chapter will focus on the nucleophilic addition reactions of transiton metal carbene and carbyne complexes with Grignard reagents. The synthesis and some general reactions of these carbene and carbyne complexes will be presented. A more detailed description of the chemistry of these complexes can be found in the literature [1]. This chapter, although not exhaustive, is descriptive of the prototypical nucleophilic addition reactions of metal-carbon (M-C) multiple bonds with Grignard reagents. 

Since LCR specifies the preconditions associated with each reaction generated by the procedure, find-all-pathways, the conditions that enabled a specific chemical transformation can be easily identified. This knowledge allows us to make explicit such information as the decomposition temperature of (P-NO2, the disproportionation temperature of identify additional reactions involving oxygen, e.g., combustion reactions with hydrogen, phenol, and Raney nickel as well. 

In 1963 Gee [133] published a modified version of his polymerization theory which in principle allows for the incorporation of small rings other than Ss. The general description of a ring addition reaction (Eq. 21) is given by Eq. (22) if no solvent is present ...
