Alkenes imides

PPQ, and other APH, thermo-oxidation of which are decelerated by addition of [11] and PCA. For example, addition of anilidophosphoric acid diphenyl ether and CUSO4 was found the most effective in polyimide (PI) and poly(alkene imide) (PAI) [7,21]. Use of PI and PAI as additives decelerate O2 absorption in PPA-2 at the solid-phase oxidation noticeably more effectively, than phenolic antioxidants. Efficiency of the additives is also noticeable at high temperatures, at which phenols are inefficient. 

A cross-linked and crystalline copoly(ester—imide) containing an alkene function was made by reaction of an unsaturated diacid chloride containing a cychc imido group with ethylene glycol at low temperature (27). 

Problem 7.6 When an unsymmetrjcal alkene such as propene is treated with iV-biomosiiccin-imide in aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide, the major product has the bromine atom bonded to the less highly substituted carbon atom. Is this Markovnikov or non-I Markovnikov orientation Explain. 

In an effort to identify a more stereoselective route to dihydroagarofuran (15), trimethylsilylated alkyne 17 was utilized as a substrate for radical cyclization (Scheme 2). Treatment of 17 with a catalytic amount of AIBN and tri-n-butyltin hydride (1.25 equiv) furnishes a mixture of stereoisomeric vinyl silanes 18 (72% combined yield) along with an uncyclized reduction product (13% yield). The production of stereoisomeric vinyl silanes in this cyclization is inconsequential because both are converted to the same alkene 19 upon protodesiiyiation. Finally, a diastereoselective di-imide reduction of the double bond in 19 furnishes dihydroagaro-... 

Imides can also add to alkenes or alkynes. Ethyl 2-propynoate reacted with phthalimide, in the presence of a palladium catalyst, to give ethyl 2-phthalimido-2-propenoate. ... 

In 1975, van der Baan and Bickelhaupt reported the synthesis of imide 37 from pyridone 34 as an approach to the hetisine alkaloids, using an intramolecular alkylation as the key step (Scheme 1.3) [23]. Beginning with pyridone 34, alkylation with sodium hydride/allyl bromide followed by a thermal [3,3] Claisen rearrangement gave alkene 35. Next, formation of the bromohydrin with A -bi omosuccinimide and subsequent protection of the resulting alcohol as the tetrahydropyranyl (THP) ether produced bromide 36, which was then cyclized in an intramolecular fashion to give tricylic 37. 

Thione S-imides, such as the fluorenethione S-tosylimide (68), have been known for about ten years. Saito and co-workers93 have studied the cycloaddition reactions of 68 with compounds containing homonuclear and heteronuclear double bonds. In almost every case the imide (68) reacted as a 1,3-dipole with alkenes, for example, isothiazoline derivatives (such as 69) were formed and with azines the 1,2,4-thiadiazolidine derivatives (70) were produced.93... 

Sulfonyl imides (78) are, like sulfenes, prepared by dehydrohalogenation of the corresponding sulfonyl chlorides (79) (usually called sulfamoyl chlorides). Like sulfenes, they take part in [2 + 2] and [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions with electron-rich alkenes or with 1,3-dienes, yielding 1,2-thia-zetidine 1,1-dioxides (80)104 or dihydro-1,2-thiazines (81),105 respectively. 

Scheme 12. Proposed mechanism leading to the allylic imide observed as a side product in the allylic oxidation of alkenes in nitrile solvents. [Adapted from (120).]...

From the results of the 1,3-diene addition reaction, the metal-catalyzed reaction of unactivated alkenes was examined, and it was found that the palladium complex effectively catalyzed the a rt-Markovnikov addition of triarylphosphines and bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Tf2NH).24... 

Addition of an alkene to a compound containing a metal-H bond usually results in insertion, and it does in this case, too, to give the stabler 1° alkylmetal. Addition of CuBr to this complex might result in transmetallation, to give a C2-Cu bond. Addition of the copper compound to the unsaturated imide gives conjugate addition, perhaps by coordination of the C3=C4 tz bond and insertion into the C2-Cu bond. Workup gives the observed product. 

As an alternative to the use of quaternary ammonium tribromide, A -bromosuccin-imide tetra-n-butylammonium bromide converts alkenes into the dibromoalkanes generally in high yield (>90%) [8]. It is probable that the ammonium tribromide is formed in situ. 

Method B The alkene (39 mmol) in MeCN (30 ml) is refluxed for 3 h with the 1 1 N-bromosuccinimide TBA-Br complex (10 g, 20 mmol), prepared by refluxing the imide and TBA-Br in MeCN. The mixture is cooled to room temperature and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The dibromoalkane is purified by chromatography from silica. 

Alkoxides and imido are used as anionic ligands in zirconium and titanium catalysts for the polymerisation of alkenes, sometimes as the only anions, but often in combination with cyclopentadienyl ligands. Imides linked to cyclopentadienyl groups form part of the single-site catalyst developed by Dow (Chapter 10) (Figure 1.9, 1). In very different titanium catalysts, namely those used for epoxidation of alkenes, also alkoxide ligands are used (Chapter 14). 

The reactions of 1,2,3-triazolium 1-imide (277) with a range of alkene and alkyne dipolarophiles give rise to a variety of new ring systems (Scheme 54). Compounds (276) and (278) are obtained from (277) by reaction with acrylonitrile and DMAD, respectively. These reactions are tandem 1,3-dipolar (endo) cycloadditions and sigmatropic rearrangements which are regio- and stereospecific <90JCS(Pl)2537>. Kinetic and mechanistic studies show that these reactions are dipole-HOMO controlled. The second-order rate constants are insensitive to solvent polarity, the reaction indicates... 

The addition to alkenes normally leads to unstable adducts that lose carbon dioxide under the reaction conditions. The intramolecular cycloaddition of the sydnone (30) takes place at room temperature, however (Equation (5)) and the cycloadduct (31) has been characterized <86HCA927>. The unstable species formed by the loss of carbon dioxide are also azomethine ylides. It is therefore possible for a second 1,3-dipolar addition to take place, as illustrated in Scheme 6 for the reaction of 3-phenylsydnone with Al-phenylmaleimide <86TL317,92JA8414>. This 2 1 addition has been used as the basis of a synthesis of polyimides. Imides of the type (32) were used as the dipolarophiles and their reaction with 3-phenylsydnone gave linear polymers <87MM726>. 

Numerous examples involving the preparation of tetrahydrothiophenes via [3 + 2] cycloaddition of thiocarbonyl ylides with electron-poor alkenes have been reported. Thiobenzophenone (5)-methylide (16), generated from 2,5-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazole (15) and analogous compounds, react with maleic anhydride, N-substituted maleic imide, maleates, fumarates, and fumaronitrile at —45°C (28,91,93,98,128,129). Similar reactions with adamantanethione (5)-methylide (52) and 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3-thioxocyclobutanone (5)-methylide (69) occur at ca. +45°C and, generally, the products of type 70 were obtained in high yield (36,94,97,130) (Scheme 5.25). Reaction with ( )- and (Z)-configured dipolaro-philes stereospecifically afford trans and cis configured adducts. 

The first successful generation and trapping of isomiinchnones using this strategy was described independently by Maier et al. (36,37) and Padwa et al. (38,39). Maier and Evertz (36) were the first workers to report the intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition of isomiinchnones to alkenes, the reaction that Padwa would later exploit so spectacularly. Thus, diazo imide 62 was readily prepared from... 

Selected examples are given in Table 9 for bromofluorinations of alkenes using A-bromosuccin-imide in combination with 70% hydrogen fluoride/pyridine (Method A) and hydrogen fluo-ride/polyvinylpyridine (Method B), respectively. Table 10 shows examples of the selective monoaddition of in situ produced halofluorides (70 % hydrogen fluoride/pyridine and A-iodo-. A-bromo- or /V-ehloro-succinimide) to symmetrically substituted alkynes. 

Boron trifluoride and boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex can be used as a source of fluoride ions in the presence of hypobromites and hypochlorites, e.g. methyl hypobromitc, tert-butyl hypobromite, methyl hypochlorite in carbon tetrachloride at 25 C. The addition of bromine monofluoride" and chlorine monofluoride" to various alkenes is accompanied by the formation of the corresponding alkoxybromides and alkoxychlorides which hinder the isolation of the halofluorinated products.57 jV-Bromo- and A -chloro-substiluted alkyl- and arylamines. -amides, and -imides, A -chloro-A,-methylamine, A -bromo-A -methylamine, A -chloro-A, /V-dimethylamine, A-bromo-A.A-dimethylamine, ACV-dichloro-A -methylamine, V,fV-dibromo-,V-mcthylaminc, A -bromosuccinimide, -V-chlorosuccinimide, Af-bromoacct-amide, A.A -dichlorourethane, can be used in the reaction instead of the hypohalites. The reactions with various alkenes conducted in dichloromethane at room temperature in the presence of boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex produce bromofluoro and chlorofluoro addition products in 40-80 % yield. However, the reactions are complicated by the addition of A -halo-succinimides and Af.A-dichlorourcthane to the C = C bonds.58...
