Alkyl-substituted cycloalkanes

Count the number of carbon atoms in the ring and the number in the largest substituent chain, (f the number of carbon atoms in the ring is equal to or greater than the number in the substituent, the compound is named as an alkyl-substituted cycloalkane. If the number of carbon atoms in the largest substituent is greater than the number in the ring, the compound is named as a cycloalkyl-substituted alkane. For example ... 

Answer Yes, since we are not permitted to start with alkyl substituted cycloalkanes. 

Little is known of the chemistry of alkyl-substituted cycloalkanes such as C6H11CH3. The presence of one tertiary C—H bond will not noticeably increase the overall rate of radical attack because of the abundance of secondary C—H bonds. Attack at a ring C—H position will tend to give a similar product distribution to that observed for cyclohexane with high yields of the various isomeric cyclohexenes at most temperatures between 600 and 1000 K. Loss of a hydrogen atom at the /3 position to the R group would induce homolysis to give cyclohexene and R radicals, particularly at temperatures above 800 K.

The H-transfer to the radical site in the distonic ion, preferably via a six-membered transition state, followed by the loss of alkyl radicals and eventual formation of an allyl cation, also competes with the ethene loss [reaction (6.40)]. In alkyl-substituted cycloalkanes, loss of the alkyl side chain overwhelms other fragmentation processes due to branching at that site. For example, m/z 83 is the base peak in the spectra of methyl- and n-bntylcylohexanes. 

For an alkyl- or halo-substituted cycloalkane, choose a point of attachment as carbon 1 and number the substituents on the ring so that the second substituent... 

Arylalkenes [23] and alkenes with electron withdrawing substituents [24] can be bis-alkylated across the alkene bond by electrochemical reaction with dflialoal-kanes giving 3- to 6-membered carbocyclic products in good yields. ITie best reaction conditions use an undivided cell with a nickel cathode and a sacrificial aluminium anode in dimethylformamide or N-methylpyrrolidone containing a tetraalkylammonium salt. Anodically generated aluminium ions are essential for the reaction. 1,2-Disubstituted alkenes, regardless of their stereochemistry, are converted to the tranj-substituted cycloalkane. 

Cycloalkanes are named much like acyclic alkanes. Substituted cycloalkanes use the cycloalkane for the base name, with the alkyl groups named as substituents. If there is just one substituent, no numbering is needed. 

Number the substituents. For alkyl- and halo-substituted cycloalkanes, chcMee a point of aiuchment as Cl and number the substituents on the ring go that the second substituent has Bui low a numbe r as possible. If arohi-gui ty still exists, number so that the third or founb substituent has ag low a number as possible, until a point of difl erence is found. 

Hood, Clerc and O Neal [13] also discussed the nature of the alkyl chains in lubricating oil fractions. Whereas petroluem waxes are mostly n-alkanes with some isoalkanes and substituted cycloalkanes, the alkanes... 

Petroleum contains more kinds of cycloalkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. Also, the numerous alkyl-substituted ring compounds have not been reported in organisms. Examples are the series of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetramethyl benzenes and the mono-, di-, tri-, and tetramethyl naphthalenes.

Bubbles with more than one colour have been identified by the scripts as belonging to more than one class [38],...

When considering the above-mentioned reaction mechanism, it is obvious that a simple substitution of the hydrogen atom in the hydride by an alkyl group could lead to alkylative cyclization of dienes. Zirconocenes with bulky cyclop entadienyl ligands such as 32 are capable of efficient catalysis of cyclization of a,o)-dienes into the 1,3-substituted cycloalkanes 99 (Scheme 41). Some typical examples are given in Table 20 [19]. 

The TR MFE technique has been extensively used to measure the spin-lattice relaxation rates of radical ions in solutions, with a number of aromatic radical ions found to have a relaxation time in the order of 1 xs [ 13]. However, for cyclohexane and adamantane radical cations and their alkyl-substituted analogues [14-16] there is a surprising discrepancy in the relaxation times as shown in Table 8.2. The experimental values presented in Table 8.2 have been obtained by preparing a solution of the cycloalkane (c-RH) and hexafluorobenzene in n-hexane with typical concentrations of 0.01-0.1 and 0.01 M respectively. Upon irradiation of n-hexane with X-rays, the primary singlet correlated pairs are rapidly scavenged (within sub-nanoseconds) to produce the secondary c-RH+ and CeFg radical ion pair.
