Complexes aluminum

Aluminum complex greases, obtained by the reaction of aluminum isopropylate with a mixture of benzoic acid and fatty acids. These greases have a remarkable resistance to water, very good adhesion to metallic surfaces, good mechanical stability properties and resistance to temperature. They are less common than the first two types. 

R =101) and ergonovine (100, R = NHCH(CH3)CH20H) are produced. Ergotamine is obtained from cmde extract by formation of an aluminum complex which can then be defatted. 

Destmction of the aluminum complex with ammonia then permits hydrocarbon extraction of the alkaloid. The alkaloid is subsequently both isolated and used as its tartrate salt. This nonnarcotic dmg, for which tolerance may develop, is frequently used orally with caffeine (16) for treatment of migraine it acts to constrict cerebral blood vessels, thus reducing blood flow to the brain. 

Further deprotonation, dehydration, and polymerization of monomers and dimers may yield ringlike stmctures of hydroxy—aluminum complexes (10). Coalescence of ring compounds into layers by further growth results in the formation of crystalline aluminum hydroxide at pH 6, the point of minimum aqueous solubiUty. 

Triethyl aluminum, complexed with another electron donor, typically ethyl -anisate [94-30-4J, was used as cocatalyst with the FT-1 catalyst and acted to reduce and stabilize the active titanium-containing catalytic site. The early versions of the FT-1 catalyst required extremely high molar ratios (>400 1) of aluminum to titanium to obtain satisfactory activity and selectivity to isotactic polymer. This resulted in excessively high aluminum residues in the polymer. Later versions of the FT-1 catalyst attained much higher activity. 

Vicinal effects can also play a part in the course of the reaction utilizing Oppenauer conditions. 1,3-Diols or j5-amino alcohols may not react, presumably on account of format on of an aluminum complex. If oxida-... 

Since electronegative groups at C-20 or C-21 deactivate a A hdouble bond towards attack by osmium tetroxide, Swiss workers have devised procedures wherein these groups are first reduced with lithium aluminum hydride, and the resulting aluminum complexes are then treated with osmium tetroxide... 

The mechanism of the cycloaddition reaction of benzaldehyde 2a with Danishefsky s diene 3a catalyzed by aluminum complexes has been investigated theoretically using semi-empirical calculations [14]. It was found that the reaction proceeds as a step-wise cycloaddition reaction with the first step being a nucleophilic-like attack of Danishefsky s diene 2a on the coordinated carbonyl compound leading to an aldol-like intermediate which is stabilized by interaction of the cation with the oxygen atom of the Lewis acid. The next step is the ring-closure step, giving the cycloaddition product. 

The enantioselective inverse electron-demand 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of nitrones with alkenes described so far were catalyzed by metal complexes that favor a monodentate coordination of the nitrone, such as boron and aluminum complexes. However, the glyoxylate-derived nitrone 36 favors a bidentate coordination to the catalyst. This nitrone is a very interesting substrate, since the products that are obtained from the reaction with alkenes are masked a-amino acids. One of the characteristics of nitrones such as 36, having an ester moiety in the a position, is the swift E/Z equilibrium at room temperature (Scheme 6.28). In the crystalline form nitrone 36 exists as the pure Z isomer, however, in solution nitrone 36 have been shown to exists as a mixture of the E and Z isomers. This equilibrium could however be shifted to the Z isomer in the presence of a Lewis acid [74]. 

The mechanism for the hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of benzaldehyde 9 with the very reactive diene, Danishefsky s diene 10, catalyzed by aluminum complexes has been investigated from a theoretical point of view using semi-empirical calculations [27]. The focus in this investigation was to address the question if the reaction proceeds directly to the hetero-Diels-Alder adduct 11, or if 11 is formed via a Mukaiyama aldol intermediate (Scheme 8.4) (see the chapter dealing with hetero-Diels-Alder reactions of carbonyl compounds). 

A living radical polymerization mechanism was proposed for the polymerization of MMA23 -240 and VAc241 initiated by certain aluminum complexes in the presence of nilroxides. It was originally thought that a carbon-aluminum bond was formed in a reversible termination step. However, a more recent study found the results difficult to reproduce and the mechanism to be complex.242... 

The different ratios of 52/53 produced by cycloadditions performed at atmospheric and high pressure, and the forma tion of the unusual trans adducts 53, have been explained by the facts that (i) Diels-Alder reactions under atmospheric pressure are thermodynamically controlled, and (ii) the anti-endo adducts 52 are converted into the short-lived syn-endo adducts 54 which tautomerize (via a dienol or its aluminum complexes) to 53. The formation of trans compounds 53 by induced post-cycloaddition isomerization makes the method more flexible and therefore more useful in organic synthesis. 

Alkali metal derivatives of 2-(trimethylsilyl)aminopyridines can be further derivatized by insertion of 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Functionalized guani-dinates are formed in this reaction via a 1,3-silyl shift. Scheme 170 illustrates the reaction sequence as well as the preparation of an aluminum complex of the modified ligand, which exhibits pseudo jS-diketiminate binding of the metal center, thus exemplifying the coordinative versatility of this new multi-N-donor system. ... 

The polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) by Cu(ll) amidinate complexes (Scheme 222) in combination with alkyl aluminum complexes has been reported. The preferred alkylating agent is methylalumoxane (MAO) in... 

The first example of a neutral aluminum complex of diazaphosphane, the 1,3,2,4-diazaphosphaluminetidine 50, Eq. (4), has been synthesized by the dehydrogenation reaction between Lewis acid-base adduct H3AI <— NMca and fBuP[N(H)fBu 2 49. The product fBuP(NfBu)2(H)Al [Pg.111]

The racemization mechanism of sec-alcohols has been widely studied [16,17]. Metal complexes of the main groups of the periodic table react through a direct transfer of hydrogen (concerted process), such as aluminum complexes in Meerwein-Ponn-dorf-Verley-Oppenauer reaction. However, racemization catalyzed by transition metal complexes occurs via hydrogen transfer processes through metal hydrides or metal dihydrides intermediates (Figure 4.5) [18]. 

Very recently the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley-Oppenauer (MPVO) reaction has been exploited for the racemization of alcohols using inexpensive aluminum-based catalysts. Combination of these complexes with a lipase (CALB) results in an efficient DKR of sec-alcohols at ambient temperature. To increase the reactivity of the aluminum complexes, a bidentate ligand, such as binol, is required. Also, specific acyl donors need to be used for each substrate [31] (Eigure 4.9).

The cyclophosphazene ring assumes a highly puckered conformation in both the zinc and aluminum complexes, indicating its remarkable flexibility to adapt to the coordination requirement of the metals. 

Ethyl acetate is added cautiously after the reaction is over to decompose excess LiAlH4, then water is added to decompose the aluminum complex.
