Benzophenones substituted

The reactions of complex 2a with ketones and aldehydes show a strong dependence on the substituents. With benzophenone, substitution of the silyl-substituted acetylene leads to the r]2-complex 58, which is additionally stabilized by a THF ligand. This complex can serve as an interesting starting material for other reactions. With benzaldehyde and acetophenone, the typical zirconadihydrofuran 59, akin to 2c, is obtained from a coupling reaction. This complex is unstable in the case of benzaldehyde and dimerizes, after elimination of bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene, to yield 60. In this respect, it is similar to the above discussed complex 2c, since both of them show a tendency to eliminate the bis(trimethyl-silyl)acetylene. The reaction of methacrolein with complex 2a depends strongly on the solvent used [40].

A rather successful structure-reactivity scheme [1] was introduced for reactions of a variety of reagents, such as ArMgBr, ArSMgBr, ArNHMgBr, ArN(MgBr)2, and ArOMgBr, with substrates, such as benzophenone, substituted nitrobenzenes, benzoquinones, and many others. In this structure-reactivity scheme the values of differences between oxidation peaks and reduction potentials were taken as an estimate of the relative efficiency of electron transfer, the A -approach. ... 

Secondary alcohols, such as isopropyl alcohol, j -butyl alcohol, 2-pentanol, 3-pentanol, cyclopentanol, and cyclohexanol, have been autoxidized to hydroxyaLkyl hydroperoxides (1, X = OH R = H) (10,44). These autoxidations usually are carried out at ca 20°C with uv radiation in the presence of a photosensitizer, eg, benzophenone. a-Oxygen-substituted dialkyl peroxides (2, X = Y = OH and X = Y = OOH), also are formed and sometimes they are the exclusive products (10). 

A-Substituted pyrroles, furans and dialkylthiophenes undergo photosensitized [2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions with carbonyl compounds to give oxetanes. This is illustrated by the addition of furan and benzophenone to give the oxetane (138). The photochemical reaction of pyrroles with aliphatic aldehydes and ketones results in the regiospecific formation of 3-(l-hydroxyalkyl)pyrroles (e.g. 139). The intermediate oxetane undergoes rearrangement under the reaction conditions (79JOC2949).

It has recently been suggested that a free radical mechanism i.e., homo-lytic cleavage of the oxygen-oxygen bond rather than the heterolytic cleavage pictured) may be involved in the reaction of some substituted benzophenones and peroxyacetic acid. 

The reduction is general for a variety of substituted benzophenones Such substituents as CH3 OH, OCH3, F, Br. N(CH3)2, NO2. COOH, COOCH3, NHCOC Hreaction conditions and do not alter the course of the reduction Diarylmethanols are reduced to diarylmethanes under the same conditions and probably are the intermediates in the reduction of ketones [26] Triethylsilane also can be used as a reducing agent in trifluoroacetic acid medium [27J This reagent is used for the reduction of benzoic acid and some other carboxylic acids under mild condiUons (equation 14) Some acids (phthalic, sue cinic, and 4-nitrobenzoic) are not reduced under these conditions [27]... 

If a substituted aromatic hydrocarbon is used, the ketone gioLip then enteis the paia-position, or, if this is occupied, the oitho-position. Substituted aromatic acid chlorides may. also be used, and if the acid is dibasic and has two caiboxyl chloiide gioups, two molecules of the aromatic hydiocaibon may be. attached. If phosgene is used with two molecules of benzene, benzophenone is obtained. 

The methoxy group of methoxythiophenes shows a reactivity which, in many respects, differs appreciably from the reactivity of the corresponding anisoles. Thus, in an attempted Hoesch synthesis with 5-methoxy-2-thenylcyanide (167) and phloroglucinol, the methoxy group reacted instead and 5-(2, 4, 6 -trihydroxyphenyl)-2-thenyl cyanide (168) was obtained. 2-Thenyl cyanide reacts normally in the Hoesch synthesis, Likewise, upon acid hydrolysis of the reaction product of 5-methoxy-2-thienyllithium with benzophenone, (169) was obtained instead of the expected substituted methoxythiophene. No defined products could be isolated from the attempted Claisen rear-... 

The oxygen atom in these molecules can in many cases be dispensed with as well substitution of sulfur for nitrogen affords a molecule whose salient biologic properties are those of a sedative and tranquilizer.

The Ullman reaction has long been known as a method for the synthesis of aromatic ethers by the reaction of a phenol with an aromatic halide in the presence of a copper compound as a catalyst. It is a variation on the nucleophilic substitution reaction since a phenolic salt reacts with the halide. Nonactivated aromatic halides can be used in the synthesis of poly(arylene edier)s, dius providing a way of obtaining structures not available by the conventional nucleophilic route. The ease of halogen displacement was found to be the reverse of that observed for activated nucleophilic substitution reaction, that is, I > Br > Cl F. The polymerizations are conducted in benzophenone with a cuprous chloride-pyridine complex as a catalyst. Bromine compounds are the favored reactants.53,124 127 Poly(arylene ether)s have been prepared by Ullman coupling of bisphenols and...

This is consistent with the observed products of oxidation, i.e. benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde and benzoic acid and with the observed oxidation of cyclohexane. Radical-cations are, however, probably formed in oxidation of napthalene and anthracene. The increase of oxidation rate with acetonitrile concentration was intepreted in terms of a more reactive complex between Co(III) and CH3CN. The production of substituted benzophenones at high CH3CN concentration indicates the participation of a second route of oxidation.
