A saturated alkyl group does not exhibit functionality. It is not a d -synthon, because the functional groups, e.g. halide or metal ions, are lost in the course of the reaction. It functions as an alkyl synthon. Alkenyl anions (R. West, 1961) on the other hand, constitute d -synthons, because the C = C group remains in the product and may be subject to further synthetic operations. 

Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy allows the determination of ionization potentials. For thiazole the first experimental measurement using this technique was preformed by Salmona et al. (189) who later studied various alkyl and functional derivatives in the 2-position (190,191). Substitution of an hydrogen atom by an alkyl group destabilizes the first ionization potential, the perturbation being constant for tso-propyl and heavier substituents. Introduction in the 2-position of an amino group strongly destabilizes the first band and only slightly the second.

It IS convenient m equations such as this to represent generic alcohols and alkyl halides as ROH and RX respectively where R stands for an alkyl group In addition to con venience this notation lets us focus more clearly on the functional group transformation that occurs the OH functional group of an alcohol is replaced as a substituent on car bon by a halogen usually chlorine (X = Cl) or bromine (X = Br)... 

The lUPAC rules permit alkyl halides to be named m two different ways called func twnal class nomenclature and substitutive nomenclature In functional class nomencla ture the alkyl group and the halide (fluoride chloride bromide or iodide) are desig nated as separate words The alkyl group is named on the basis of its longest continuous chain beginning at the carbon to which the halogen is attached... 

Functional class names of alcohols are derived by naming the alkyl group that bears the hydroxyl substituent (—OH) and then adding alcohol as a separate word The chain IS always numbered beginning at the carbon to which the hydroxyl group is attached... 

Table 4 2 lists the boiling points of some representative alkyl halides and alcohols When comparing the boiling points of related compounds as a function of the alkyl group we find that the boiling point increases with the number of carbon atoms as it does with alkanes... 

The substitutive names of alcohols are derived by replacing the e end mg of an alkane with ol The longest chain containing the OH group becomes the basis for the name Functional class names of alcohols begin with the name of the alkyl group and end m the word alcohol... 

Ethers are named m substitutive lUPAC nomenclature as alkoxy derivatives of alkanes Functional class lUPAC names of ethers are derived by listing the two alkyl groups m the general structure ROR m alphabetical order as separate words and then adding the word ether at the end When both alkyl groups are the same the prefix di precedes the name of the alkyl group... 

Section 16 1 Ethers are compounds that contain a C—O—C linkage In substitutive lUPAC nomenclature they are named as al/coxy derivatives of alkanes In functional class lUPAC nomenclature we name each alkyl group as a separate word (m alphabetical order) followed by the word ether... 

Like aldehydes ketone functions take precedence over alcohol functions double bonds halogens and alkyl groups m determining the parent name and direction of numbering Aldehydes outrank ketones however and a compound that contains both an aldehyde and a ketone carbonyl group is named as an aldehyde In such cases the carbonyl oxy gen of the ketone is considered an 0x0 substituent on the mam chain... 

Cyclo acylations leadUy take place in intermoleculai acylations involving bifunctional acylating agents. Both functional groups may be acyl (as in the case of a,CO-diacyl halides) or one may be an alkylating group (as in unsaturated acyl halides or certain haloacyl halides) (18). 

The iodination reaction can also be conducted with iodine monochloride in the presence of sodium acetate (240) or iodine in the presence of water or methanolic sodium acetate (241). Under these mild conditions functionalized alkenes can be transformed into the corresponding iodides. AppHcation of B-alkyl-9-BBN derivatives in the chlorination and dark bromination reactions allows better utilization of alkyl groups (235,242). An indirect stereoselective procedure for the conversion of alkynes into (H)-1-ha1o-1-alkenes is based on the mercuration reaction of boronic acids followed by in situ bromination or iodination of the intermediate mercuric salts (243). 

Carbon Cha.in Backbone Polymers. These polymers may be represented by (4) and considered derivatives of polyethylene, where n is the degree of polymeriza tion and R is (an alkyl group or) a functional group hydrogen (polyethylene), methyl (polypropylene), carboxyl (poly(acryhc acid)), chlorine (poly(vinyl chloride)), phenyl (polystyrene) hydroxyl (poly(vinyl alcohol)), ester (poly(vinyl acetate)), nitrile (polyacrylonitrile), vinyl (polybutadiene), etc. The functional groups and the molecular weight of the polymers, control thek properties which vary in hydrophobicity, solubiUty characteristics, glass-transition temperature, and crystallinity. 

Wetting times of /V,/V-dimethy1-/ -alkyl amine oxides as a function of the alkyl chain length show a minimum with dimethyl dodecyl amine oxide (Table 3). Foam generation of dimethyl-/ -alkylamine oxides solutions show a maximum when the alkyl group contains 14 carbons. 

As seen in Figure 1, the organo sulfur compounds are methylated at the boiling point (90°C) of dimethyl carbonate, whereas methylation (or alkylation with other alkyl groups) of other functional groups requites higher temperatures. This has resulted in the selective methylation of sulfhydryl groups of compounds that contain other substituents that can be alkylated. The other substituents can then be alkylated at elevated temperatures (63). 

Alkyldithio carbamates are prepared from the acid chloride (Et N, EtOAc, 0°) and amino acid, either free or as the O-silyl derivatives (70-88% yield). The N- i-propyldithio) carbamate has been used in the protection of proline during peptide synthesis. Alkyldithio carbamates can be cleaved with thiols, NaOH, Ph P/TsOH. They are stable to acid. Cleavage rates are a function of the size of the alkyl group as illustrated in the table below.
