Substitution reactions, and

It is a typically aromatic compound and gives addition and substitution reactions more readily than benzene. Can be reduced to a series of compounds containing 2-10 additional hydrogen atoms (e.g. tetralin, decalin), which are liquids of value as solvents. Exhaustive chlorination gives rise to wax-like compounds. It gives rise to two series of monosubstitution products depending upon... 

The formation of the above anions ("enolate type) depend on equilibria between the carbon compounds, the base, and the solvent. To ensure a substantial concentration of the anionic synthons in solution the pA" of both the conjugated acid of the base and of the solvent must be higher than the pAT -value of the carbon compound. Alkali hydroxides in water (p/T, 16), alkoxides in the corresponding alcohols (pAT, 20), sodium amide in liquid ammonia (pATj 35), dimsyl sodium in dimethyl sulfoxide (pAT, = 35), sodium hydride, lithium amides, or lithium alkyls in ether or hydrocarbon solvents (pAT, > 40) are common combinations used in synthesis. Sometimes the bases (e.g. methoxides, amides, lithium alkyls) react as nucleophiles, in other words they do not abstract a proton, but their anion undergoes addition and substitution reactions with the carbon compound. If such is the case, sterically hindered bases are employed. A few examples are given below (H.O. House, 1972 I. Kuwajima, 1976). 

The ij-arylpalladium bonds in these complexes are reactive and undergo insertion and substitution reactions, and the reactions offer useful methods for the regiospecific functionalization of the aromatic rings, although the reac-...

Aminophenols are either made by reduction of nitrophenols or by substitution. Reduction is accompHshed with iron or hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. Catalytic reduction is the method of choice for the production of 2- and 4-aminophenol (see Amines BY reduction). Electrolytic reduction is also under industrial consideration and substitution reactions provide the major source of 3-aminophenol. 

Control of addition vs substitution by free radicals can be effected by the reaction conditions, ie, radical concentration, temperature, and phase. Using halogens as propylene reactants, high temperatures and the gas phase favor high radical concentrations and substitution reactions cold, Hquid-phase conditions favor addition reactions. 

Treatment of coal with chlorine or bromine results in addition and substitution reactions. At temperatures up to 600°C chlorinolysis produces carbon tetrachloride, phosgene, and thionyl chloride (73). Treatment with fluorine or chlorine trifluoride at atmospheric pressure and 300°C can produce large yields of Hquid products. 

Repeat this analysis for the bromine addition and substitution reactions of benzene leading to trans-5,6-dibromo-l,3-cyclohexadiene and phenyl bromide, respectively. Do your thermochemical results account for the experimental observations ... 

Chiral oxazolines developed by Albert I. Meyers and coworkers have been employed as activating groups and/or chiral auxiliaries in nucleophilic addition and substitution reactions that lead to the asymmetric construction of carbon-carbon bonds. For example, metalation of chiral oxazoline 1 followed by alkylation and hydrolysis affords enantioenriched carboxylic acid 2. Enantioenriched dihydronaphthalenes are produced via addition of alkyllithium reagents to 1-naphthyloxazoline 3 followed by alkylation of the resulting anion with an alkyl halide to give 4, which is subjected to reductive cleavage of the oxazoline moiety to yield aldehyde 5. Chiral oxazolines have also found numerous applications as ligands in asymmetric catalysis these applications have been recently reviewed, and are not discussed in this chapter. ...

As discussed in CbapL 6, copper-mediated diasteteoselective addition and substitution reactions ate well studied metliods for the construction of chiral centers in organic molecules. Tlie development of coppet-mediated enantioselective substitution reactions, however, is still at an early stage. 

In numerous synthetic studies,9" 6 100 it has been demonstrated that porphyrins react at the chromophore periphery in cycloaddition reactions, rearrangements, conjugative additions and substitution reactions to yield interesting porphyrin derivatives. Thus, metal-free protoporphyrin IX dimethyl ester reacts in Diels-Alder reactions108a b with dienophilcs like ethenetetra-carbonitrile and acetylenedicarboxylates at the diene structural parts to yield, according to the reaction conditions, the corresponding monoadducts 2 and 3 (see also Section 1.2.) and bisadducts 1 (see also Section 1.4.), respectively.

Negative evidence for a common intermediate is just as important, for it can thereby eliminate a contending mechanism. The solvolysis of 2-halo-2,3,3-trimethylbutanes in methanol provides such an example.17 If it occurs by the elimination of a carbocation, the intermediate should undergo elimination and substitution reactions independent of the identity of the halide. These are shown as follows ... 

The strength of the London forces between alkane molecules increases as the molar mass of the molecules increases hydrocarbons with unbranched chains pack together more closely than their branched isomers. Alkanes are not very reactive. but they do undergo oxidation (combustion) and substitution reactions.

Synthesis. The 2-phenyM,3,2-diazaboracyclohexane ring system (1) was selected as the starting material in this study because (1) it is prepared easily and in high yield by a three step synthesis from BCI3 (2) the N-H bonds are potential sites for deprotonation and substitution reactions and (3) the trimethylene bridge enhances the rigidity of the N-B-N backbone which should prevent cyclization upon thermolysis of an appropriate precursor. 

Other reactions where the cluster core remains intact are based on nucleophilic addition, elimination, and substitution reactions, as well as electrochemical interconversions. Some examples are given in Equations (47) and (48) 2714 3216... 

Other types of reactions have been studied as, for example, a mixture of nucleophilic addition and substitution reactions.3296-3298 An interesting reaction due to the potential catalytic applications is the reversible addition of H2 to [Pt(AuPPh3)8]2+ to give the 18-electron dihydrido cluster [Pt(H)2(AuPPh3)8]2+.3299,3300 In nonbasic solvents the dihydrido cluster is stable and upon removal of the H2 atmosphere, it rapidly loses H2 to reform [Pt(AuPPh3kl2+. These reactions are completely reversible in pyridine solutions as shown in Equation (50) 3... 

Summary Several lithium l,3-diphospha-2-sila-allyl complexes 3a-f and the diphosphino-dichlorosilane 2 have been prepared and characterized. The hydrolysis and substitution reactions of these compounds are described yielding a number of phosphino- and diphosphino-silaphosphenes 5a-d, 4a,b and 6. The compounds have been characterized by NMR and by X-ray analyses in the cases of 2, 3a-c and 4a. 

It is possible under high pressure to photolyse Cr(CO),-(H2) further and to generate Cr(CO) ( an< then to observe exchange and substitution reactions (28). These reactions are summarised in Scheme 2 where the most significant process is the H /D2 exchange. 

The chemical behavior of metal carbonyls is influenced by the nature of other ligands present. A decrease in C-O bond order results from an increase in M-C bond order. If other ligands are present that cannot accept electron density, more back donation to CO occurs, so the M-C bond will be stronger and substitution reactions leading to replacement of CO will be retarded. If other ligands are present that are good iy acceptors, less back donation to the CO groups occurs. They will be labilized and substitution will be enhanced. 

Ring opening reactions are the main feature of a brief review (though with 69 references) of kinetics and mechanisms of hydrolysis and substitution reactions of platinum(II) complexes (219). 

Alternatively, bi- or multidentate ligands can also be used for support. As an additional benefit, the latter offer greater stability for the coordinatively bound metal center against leaching through ligand dissociation and substitution reactions. The first, somewhat remarkable, approach to this is shown in Figure 42.11, based on numerous examples of the support of bidentate phosphines on polymers [1-5].
