Benzylic exchange

A high degree of benzyl exchange was found to accompany the reductive deuteriation of 4-(4-fluorophenyl)methylpyridine with H2 catalyzed by Pd/C in various deuterated solvents, giving 4-(4-fluorophenyl)[ H2]methyl[ Hn]piperidine . 

Lithiation at C2 can also be the starting point for 2-arylatioii or vinylation. The lithiated indoles can be converted to stannanes or zinc reagents which can undergo Pd-catalysed coupling with aryl, vinyl, benzyl and allyl halides or sulfonates. The mechanism of the coupling reaction involves formation of a disubstituted palladium intermediate by a combination of ligand exchange and oxidative addition. Phosphine catalysts and salts are often important reaction components. 

Hthiated 4-substituted-2-methylthia2oles (171) at -78 C (Scheme 80). Crossover experiments at—78 and 25°C using thiazoles bearing different substituents (R = Me, Ph) proved that at low temperature the lithioderivatives (172 and 173) do not exchange H/Li and that the product ratios (175/176) observed are the result of independent metala-tion of the 2-methyl and the C-5 positions in a kinetically controlled process (444). At elevated temperatures the thermodynamic acidities prevail and the resonance stabilized benzyl-type anion (Scheme 81) becomes more abundant, so that in fine the kinetic lithio derivative is 173, whereas the thermodynamic derivative is 172.

It was found that utilization of QAS with increased steric accessibility of exchange center, containing nitrogen atom with three methyl substituents and one super lipophilic substituent, - tris(2,3,4-dodecyloxy)benzyl, - leads to dramatic, up to 7 orders, increase of ISE s selectivity towards sulfate in the presence of single-charged anions. Incorporation of hexyl 4-trifluoro-acetylbenzoate into membrane leads to additional substantial increase - up to 4 orders - in sulfate selectivity. 

In this work, the results of study of zinc thiocyanate complexes anion-exchange extraction by non-symmetric QASes in toluene ai e discussed. The non-symmetric QASes have the common formula [(C,3H g03)N(CH3) (C,H Q3 J-X-, where C,3H3 03 - highly lipophilic substituent, (2, 3, 4-tn. s-dodecyloxy)benzyl. It was found that exchange...

The efficiency of reduction of benzophenone derivatives is greatly diminished when an ortho alkyl substituent is present because a new photoreaction, intramolecular hydrogen-atom abstraction, then becomes the dominant process. The abstraction takes place from the benzylic position on the adjacent alkyl chain, giving an unstable enol that can revert to the original benzophenone without photoreduction. This process is known as photoenolization Photoenolization can be detected, even though no net transformation of the reactant occurs, by photolysis in deuterated hydroxylic solvents. The proton of the enolic hydroxyl is rapidly exchanged with solvent, so deuterium is introduced at the benzylic position. Deuterium is also introduced if the enol is protonated at the benzylic carbon by solvent ... 

Under certain conditions surface catalytic deuterations can lead to the exchange of benzylic hydrogens. An example in the steroid field is the exchange of the benzylic hydrogens in estrone methyl ether (42) with deuterium in the presence of palladized charcoal." " According to mass spectrometric analysis, the product (43) contains three deuteriums (83 %), which have been assigned to the 6- and 9a-positions on the basis of NMR evidence." " ... 

Many reactions of fluorinated organics with metal halides result in the replacement of fluorine with halogen A general route to 1,1,1-trichloro- or tribromo-fluoroalkanes involves treating primary fluoroalkyl iodides with aluminum trichloride or aluminum tribromide [74], Benzylic [75, 76] or vinylic [72] fluorine can be exchanged for chlorine when treated with aluminum trichloride... 

A benzyl carbonate was prepared in 83% yield from the sodium alkoxide of glycerol and benzyl chloroformate (20°, 24 h). It was also prepared by a lipase-catalyzed ester exchange with allyl benzyl carbonate. It is cleaved by hydrogenolysis (H2/Pd-C, EtOH, 20°, 2 h, 2 atm, 76% yield) and electrolytic reduction (—2.7 V, R4N X, DMF, 70% yield). A benzyl carbonate was used to protect the hydroxyl group in lactic acid during a peptide synthesis." ... 

This enzyme is of wide occurrence in bacteria where it is concerned with the reduction of nitrate and CO2 as well as sulphur. Methods for its estimation depend on measuring some activity of hydrogenase by (a) dye reduction (benzyl viologen or methylene blue), (b) isotopic exchange and (c) evolution of molecular hydrogen. Interpretation of quantitative results is difficult due to the complex relationship between the enzyme cell structure and the particular method selected. ... 

Sulfinyl oxiranes 2 can be desulfurized with butyllithium at very low temperature to give oxiranes with retention of configuration as a result of a ligand exchange at sulfur (see also Table 6). However, with a benzylic substituent R1, an excess of butyllithium may at higher temperatures induce an elimination to an allylic alcohol. 

As an example consider the exchange reaction between benzyl iodide and free iodide ions, Eq. (3-43).6 Mixing ethanolic solutions of benzyl iodide and radio-labeled potassium iodide started the isotopic exchange. At different times, samples were withdrawn and added to a benzene-water mixture, causing separation into two layers. The aqueous layer contained the iodide ions, and the organic layer contained the benzyl iodide. The activity of 1311 was determined in each layer.
