Alkene derivatives compounds

The Meerwein reaction is a valuable method for the arylation of alkenes because of the easy availability of cheap aromatic amines and compounds containing double bonds. A disadvantage is that the yield is often low (normally 20-50%, in exceptional cases reaching 80%, see Table 10-3). The reaction can be carried out in water if the alkene derivative is sufficiently soluble otherwise an organic co-solvent is necessary. Meerwein et al. (1939) used acetone, which is still the most popular solvent used today. The mechanistic function of acetone will be discussed later in this section. 

Previous derivatization of the extract is necessary to improve the stability of the compounds and the sensitivity and precision of subsequent GC-MS analysis. Silyl derivatives formed for example with MSTFA [43], halogenated alkene derivatives produced with heptafluorobutyric anhydride (HFBA) [36] or pentafluoropropionic acid [58] or anhydride (PFPA), as well as acetate derivatives formed using acetic anhydride [48] have been widely employed. 

Compound B is an alkene derived from compound A—an alkyl bromide of molecular formula C7H15Br. We are told that compound A is not a primary alkyl bromide. Compound A can therefore be only ... 

A similar cyclisation of an alkene derived from geranyl acetate 24 by dihydroxylation and formation of the epoxide 26 leads to a substituted cyclohexane 28. The Lewis acid ZrCU is used to open the epoxide and the alkene attacks intramolecularly 27 to give eventually the ryn-compound 28 with both substituents equatorial. The alignment of the alkene and the epoxide in a chair conformation 27a is responsible for the diastereoselectivity Note the regioselectivity the less substituted end of the alkene attacks the more substituted end of the epoxide 27. These are just two examples of the very many ordinary ionic reactions that can be used to make six-membered rings. 

The syntheses of diazetidines are known to proceed via a [2+2] cycloaddition reaction of alkene derivatives with azo compounds. A comprehensive literature overview has been provided in CHEC-II(1996) <1996CHEC-II(1B)911>. This chapter compiles some of the new synthetic methods and examples reported after 1994. 

Alkenes are hydrocarbons with carbon-carbon double bonds. Alkenes are sometimes called olefins, a term derived from olefiant gas, meaning oil-forming gas. This term Introduction originated with early experimentalists who noticed the oily appearance of alkene derivatives. Alkenes are among the most important industrial compounds (see Section 7-6), and many alkenes are also found in plants and animals. Ethylene is the largest-volume industrial organic compound, used to make polyethylene and a variety of other industrial and consumer chemicals. Pinene is a major component of turpentine, the paint solvent distilled from extracts of evergreen trees. Muscalure (cw-tricos-9-ene) is the sex attractant of the common housefly. 

Although it may be said that alkylidyne clusters do not contain an unsaturated organic fragment, the chemistry of these compounds is related to that of the alkyne and alkene derivatives, and their synthesis will be discussed briefly. 

A common method of naming alkene derivatives is illustrated here. As we see, the product of the reaction between ethylene and bromine has the lUPAC name of 1,2-dibromoethane. It is also frequently called ethylene bromide the word ethylene forming part of the name even though the compound is actually... 

Tosylhydrazones of aliphatic aldehydes and ketones react with a base in an aprotic solvent at 90-180 C to give diazo compounds which undergo thermal decomposition with loss of nitrogen to yield alkenes derived from hydrogen migration and cyclopropanes from intramolecular insertion. In proton donor solvents decomposition of y-tosylhydrazones by base occurs primarily by a cationic mechanism involving diazonium and/or carbenium ion intermediates. 

Compound I is a ketone, II is a primary alcohol, III is a primary alcohol of alkene derivation and IV is an ether derivative. 

Diphenylnaphthylethylenes Diphenylnaphthyl alkene derivatives (e.g. compounds 90, 91 and 92) were recently disclosed by SignalGene [118, 119]. Most of these tamoxifen-related structures showed good affinity for both ERa and ERp. Although receptor-binding data were presented, no meaningful assessment of ERa/P selectivity can be made as all of the compounds were tested as E/Z mixtures. 

Another interesting HMF-derived compound is levulinic acid formed together with formic acid by solid acid catalysis. A one-pot cascade route from c.g. inulin seems feasible. Manzer et al. [37] give examples in which an esterification step with an alkene is coupled as well. The... 

The classical Vilsmeier-Haack reaction - involves electrophilic substitution of a suitable carbon nucleophile with a chloromethyleneiminium salt, for example salt (1). Suitable carbon nucleophiles are generally electron-rich aromatic compounds such as V,N-dimethylaniline (2), alkene derivatives such as styrene (3) or activated methyl or methylene compounds such as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (4 Scheme I). These compounds (2-4) react with salt (1) giving, after loss of hydrogen chloride, the corresponding im-inium salts (5-7). Hydrolysis of iminium salt (5) affords aldehyde derivative (8) and this transformation (Ar—H - Ar—CHO) is the well-known Vilsmeier-Haack formylation reaction. Hydrolysis of iminium... 

In addition to alkenes or compounds with strained double bonds, 1,2,4-triazines react readily with electron-rich dienophiles such as enol ethers, enamines, enaminones, vinyl silyl ethers, vinyl sulfides, vinyl acetate, and ketene derivatives (see also Ilouben-Weyl, Vol. E7b, p 471 ff). It has been shown195,403,404 that oxo compounds and catalytic amounts of amines can be used instead of enamines however, water formed in the reaction can result in the formation of side products.403...

Table IX contains the structures of some of the carbinols (94) that have been prepared by reaction of 2-thienylorganometallic compounds with esters in almost every case dehydration of the carbinol was also reported. Many of the compounds listed here and the alkenes derived from them are anti-histaminic, anticholinergic, or spasmolytic. However, not all the papers and patents referred to give details of biological evaluation, so no survey of biological activity is attempted.

Hydrocarbon-derivative compounds do not occur naturally. They are manmade from hydrocarbon compounds, as discussed earlier, with some additional elements added. Hydrocarbon derivatives belong to families just as the hydrocarbons. In order to make hydrocarbon derivatives, hydrogen needs to be removed from the alkane family. Alkene hydrocarbons have one or more double bonds that can be broken and...
