Bonds reaction with

Spirophosphonium ylide 17 undergoes a two-step addition process with diols first the P-N bond is cleaved, followed by addition of the OH bond across the P=N double bond. Reaction with binaphthol stops after the first step to give 137, whereas catechol adds across the double bond to give 138 (Scheme 3) <2004JOC1880>. 

As has been exemplified in this chapter, fluorinations with fluorine-18 can be classified into two categories (1) the nucleophilic reactions, which usually involve no-carrier-added [ F]fluoride of high-specific radioactivity as its Kf FIF-K complex and include substitutions in the aliphatic and the /lomoaromatic series and (2) the electrophilic reactions, which mainly use moderately low-specific radioactivity molecular [ F]fluorine, or other reagents prepared from it, such as acetyl [ F] hypofluorite, and include addition across double bonds, reactions with carbanions and especially fluorodehydrogenation and fluorodemetallation reactions. 

With activated double bonds, reaction with (2) leads to cyclopropane derivatives. 

If the alkene or alkadiene has at least one hydrogen on the carbon adjacent to the double bond, reaction with singlet oxygen may give hydroperoxides. The mechanism of this reaction is related to [4 + 2] cycloadditions and is presumed to occur through a HLickel pericyclic transition state (see Section 21-10D) ... 

The development of the chemistry of aryl nitrenes has occurred primarily over the last 20 years, even though initial forays were made nearly a century ago. This slow development can be attributed to the fact that photolysis or pyrolysis of typical aryl azides, such as phenylnitrene 1, produces polymeric tar (Reaction 5.1). This is in sharp contrast to the rich chemistry of phenylcarbene (2), which exhibits insertion into C-H bonds, addition to Jt-bonds, reaction with oxygen, and so on. ... 

Cycloadditions have also been used to form germanium-carbon bonds at germanium surfaces. For example, 1,3-butadiene and 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene react with the dimers present on Ge(100)-2xl to form a six-membered ring and two new Ge-C bonds. Reactions with other unsaturated species such as ethylene, ketones, and nitriles have also been explored. ... 

Chiral electrophilic cyclopropanes (63) are prepared in high enantiomeric excess starting from butadiene-iron tricarbonyl complexes (60) containing a non-complexed double bond. Reaction with diazomethane and decomposition of the resulting pyrazolines (61) in the presence of Ce" gave the corresponding chiral cyclopropanes (62). Breakdown of the dienic substituent of electrophilic cyclopropane (62) by means of ozonization resulted in the formation of formyl-substituted electrophilic cyclopropane (63) still carrying the asymmetric centre (equation 10) " . ...
