The last group of reactions uses ring opening of carbonyl or 1-hydroxyalkyl substituted cyclopropanes, which operate as a -synthons. d -Synthons, e.g. hydroxide or halides, yield 1,4-disubstituted products (E. Wenkert, 1970 A). (1-Hydroxyalkyl)- and (1-haloalkyl)-cyclopropanes are rearranged to homoallylic halides, e.g. in Julia s method of terpene synthesis (M. Julia, 1961, 1974 S.F. Brady, I968 J.P. McCormick, 1975). 

Bromomethyl)- or (hydroxymethyl)cycIopropane derivatives undergo acid-catalyzed homoallyiic rearrangements to yield trans-olefins (J.P. McCormick, 1975 S.F. Brady, 1968 M. Julia, 1974). This rearrangement is the basis of Julia s terpene synthesis (see. p. 70). 

The hydrogenolyaia of cyclopropane rings (C—C bond cleavage) has been described on p, 105. In syntheses of complex molecules reductive cleavage of alcohols, epoxides, and enol ethers of 5-keto esters are the most important examples, and some selectivity rules will be given. Primary alcohols are converted into tosylates much faster than secondary alcohols. The tosylate group is substituted by hydrogen upon treatment with LiAlH (W. Zorbach, 1961). Epoxides are also easily opened by LiAlH. The hydride ion attacks the less hindered carbon atom of the epoxide (H.B. Henhest, 1956). The reduction of sterically hindered enol ethers of 9-keto esters with lithium in ammonia leads to the a,/S-unsaturated ester and subsequently to the saturated ester in reasonable yields (R.M. Coates, 1970). Tributyltin hydride reduces halides to hydrocarbons stereoselectively in a free-radical chain reaction (L.W. Menapace, 1964) and reacts only slowly with C 0 and C—C double bonds (W.T. Brady, 1970 H.G. Kuivila, 1968). 

Example Brady investigated classical dynamics of a-d-glucose in water.In this simulation, 207 water molecules surrounded one a-d-glucose. The system was in a cubic box with periodic boundary conditions. During the simulation, several hydroxyl group transitions occurred. These transitions are normally unlikely with an in vacuo simulation. 

You can detect hydroxyl group transitions by plotting dihedral angles versus time over the course of the simulation. This is the distance history. Brady investigated the distance history of water 19. Brady, J.W. Molecular dynamics simulations of a-d-glucose in aqueous solution.
