1,3-Butadiene, 1,2-addition reactions reaction with

Oxatungstacyclopropane (43) also undergoes a number of addition reactions. Reaction with C02 affords cyclic carbonate (42). Reaction with ethene gives oxatungstacyclopentanes which result from insertion into the metal-carbon bond. Reaction with 1,3-butadiene gives a n complex where the metallacycle is retained <86CC90>. 

The reaction of crotonaldehyde and methyl vinyl ketone with thiophenol in the presence of anhydrous hydrogen chloride effects conjugate addition of thiophenol as well as acetal formation. The resulting j3-phenylthio thioacetals are converted to 1-phenylthio-and 2-phenylthio-1,3-butadiene, respectively, upon reaction with 2 equivalents of copper(I) trifluoromethanesulfonate (Table I). The copper(I)-induced heterolysis of carbon-sulfur bonds has also been used to effect pinacol-type rearrangements of bis(phenyl-thio)methyl carbinols. Thus the addition of bis(phenyl-thio)methyllithium to ketones and aldehydes followed by copper(I)-induced rearrangement results in a one-carbon ring expansion or chain-insertion transformation which gives a-phenylthio ketones. Monothioketals of 1,4-diketones are cyclized to 2,5-disubstituted furans by the action of copper(I) trifluoromethanesulfonate. ... 

Many addition polymerization reactions with very low concentrations of impurities have propagation rates much faster than initiation rates and have essentially no termination. Such reactions produce narrow molar mass distributions that can be approximated by the Poisson distribution. Comparison of the polydispersity index of anionically polymerized butadiene with Eq. (1.69) is shown in Fig. 1.20. 

Since 1,4-polyisoprene has a secondary carbon atom at the double bond it follows that it is generally more reactive to both free radicals and to carbonium ions than 1,4-poly butadiene. The typical addition reactions associated with the double bond suggest that the ultimate hydrogenated, halogenated, hydrohalogenated and isomerized diene polymers would have the same structure irrespective of the initial cis-ltrans- ratio. 

The 1, 4-addition reaction occurs with butadiene and benzene to give the pora-adduct, containing cis- and frons-double bond along with ortho-, meta- and para- products. 

Like butadiene, allene undergoes dimerization and addition of nucleophiles to give 1-substituted 3-methyl-2-methylene-3-butenyl compounds. Dimerization-hydration of allene is catalyzed by Pd(0) in the presence of CO2 to give 3-methyl-2-methylene-3-buten-l-ol (1). An addition reaction with. MleOH proceeds without CO2 to give 2-methyl-4-methoxy-3-inethylene-1-butene (2)[1]. Similarly, piperidine reacts with allene to give the dimeric amine 3, and the reaction of malonate affords 4 in good yields. Pd(0) coordinated by maleic anhydride (MA) IS used as a catalyst[2]. 

Butadiene also undergoes a 1,4-addition reaction with SO2 to give sulfolene [77-79-2]. This reaction followed by hydrogenation is commercially used to manufacture sulfolane [126-33-0] (56). 

Reaction between oxygen and butadiene in the Hquid phase produces polymeric peroxides that can be explosive and shock-sensitive when concentrated. Ir(I) and Rh(I) complexes have been shown to cataly2e this polymerisation at 55°C (92). These peroxides, which are formed via 1,2- and 1,4-addition, can be hydrogenated to produce the corresponding 1,2- or 1,4-butanediol [110-63-4] (93). Butadiene can also react with singlet oxygen in a Diels-Alder type reaction to produce a cycHc peroxide that can be hydrogenated to 1,4-butanediol. 

Soon after the discovery of the addition reaction between diene-ophiles and dienes which now bears their names, Diels and Alder extended their investigations to include potential heterocyclic dienes. In 1929 the first compound investigated, furan, was observed to combine with maleic anhydride, like butadiene in a typical Diels-Alder reaction, across the 2,5-positions yielding a 1 1 molar adduct... 

There have been few mechanistic studies of Lewis acid-catalyzed cycloaddition reactions with carbonyl compounds. Danishefsky et ah, for example, concluded that the reaction of benzaldehyde 1 with trans-l-methoxy-3-(trimethylsilyloxy)-l,3-di-methyl-1,3-butadiene (Danishefsky s diene) 2 in the presence of BF3 as the catalyst proceeds via a stepwise mechanism, whereas a concerted reaction occurs when ZnCl2 or lanthanides are used as catalysts (Scheme 4.3) [7]. The evidence of a change in the diastereochemistry of the reaction is that trans-3 is the major cycloaddition product in the Bp3-catalyzed reaction, whereas cis-3 is the major product in, for example, the ZnCl2-catalyzed reaction - the latter resulting from exo addition (Scheme 4.3). 

Perhaps the most striking difference between conjugated and nonconjugated dienes is that conjugated dienes undergo an addition reaction with alkenes to yield substituted cyclohexene products. For example, 1,3-butadiene and 3-buten-2-one give 3-cycIohexenyl methyl ketone. 

The observation of Tsuji et al. 148) concerned with copolymerization of 1- or 2-phenyl butadiene with styrene or butadiene illustrates again the importance of the distinction between the classic, direct monomer addition to the carbanion, and the addition involving coordination with Li4. The living polymer of 1- or 2-phenyl butadiene initiated by sec-butyl lithium forms a block polymer on subsequent addition of styrene or butadiene provided that the reaction proceeds in toluene. However, these block polymers are not formed when the reaction takes place in THF. The relatively unreactive anions derived from phenyl butadienes do not add styrene or butadiene, while the addition eventually takes place in hydrocarbons on coordination of the monomers with Li4. The addition through the coordination route is more facile than the classic one. 

Edman and Simmons [146] synthesized bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene-2,3-dicar-boxylic anhydride 80 as a facially perturbed dienophile on the basis of the norbornadiene motif, and its top selectivity in Diels-Alder reactions with cyclopentadiene (top-exo top-endo = 60 70 1) was observed by Bartlett (Fig. 14) [147], The most preferred addition was top-exo addition, along with the minor addition modes, top-endo bottom-enrfo addition (Fig. 14). The addition of butadiene to this anhydride preferentially afforded the top-adduct (top bottom = 6 1). In the addition of anthracene, a top-adduct was formed exclusively. 

In degree 2 only reactivity degrees are treated vis- i-vis exothermic polymerization in particular and addition reactions on the double bond (ethylene, butadiene, styrene, propylene), easy peroxidation (isopropyl oxide, acetaldehyde), hydrolysis (acetic anhydride). Possibly only propionitrile and substances with code 0 have an actual NFPA stability code. Every time one has to deal with the NFPA code one has to interpret it after carefully reading the paragraphs in Part Two. 

Dzhemilev and Tolshkov et al. have studied the influence of phosphines and addi-hves in the hydroaminahon of 1,3-butadiene with morpholine catalyzed by the Ni(acac)2/phosphine/AlEt3/ additive (1/3/3/10) system [180]. With CF3CO2H as additive, the reaction is highly selective (>93%) for the formahon of l-(N-morpholino)-2-butene (>80% yield) by using P(w-Bu)3 or P(OEt)3 as phosphine. With the same system and PCI3 as phosphine, a mixture of 3-(N-morphoHno)-l-butene (70%) and l-(N-morpholino)-2-butene (30%) is formed (TOE = 21 h ). 

A combination of a Diels-Alder and a Fisher carbene-cyclopentannulation is described as the last example in this subgroup. Thus, Barluenga and coworkers used a [4+2] cycloaddition of 2-amino-l,3-butadienes 4-115 with a Fischer alkoxy-arylalky-nylcarbene complex 4-116 this is followed by a cyclopenta-annulation reaction with the aromatic ring in 4-116 to give 4-117 (Scheme 4.25) [36]. An extension of this domino process is the reaction of 4-118 with 2equiv. of the alkynyl carbene 4-119 containing an additional C-C-double bond (Table 4.2) [37]. The final product 4-120, which was obtained in high yield, is formed by a second [4+2] cycloaddition of the primarily obtained cyclopenta-annulated intermediate. 

Antiozonant additives are employed with unsaturated rubbers such as natural rubber, nitrile rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, etc., to minimise the atmospheric ozone degradation reaction. Common antiozonant types include the parapheny-lene diamines such as N-(l,3-dimethylbutyl)-AT-phenyl-p-phenylene diamine (6PPD) and N-isopropyl-N7 phenyl-p-phenylene diamine (IPPD). Both these antioxidants can be identified and quantified using GC- or LC-based techniques. 

On orbital symmetry grounds, the addition of ethylene to ethylene with ring closure (cycloaddition) should be thermally forbidden. If one compares this reaction with the reaction of trimethylene with approaching ethylene and butadiene (Fig.4), it is readily seen that, the A level being below the S level in trimethylene, the behaviour with respect to cycloaddition to olefins is reversed, that is, trimethylene is essentially an anti-ethylene structure. This principle can be generalized for instance (16) ... 

Butadiene shows 1,4-addition reactions with electrophilic reagents other than HC1. 

Cyclic carbodisilanes undergo addition reactions with conjugated dienes with splitting of their Si—Si bond. l,l,2,2-Tetramethyl-l,2-disila-cyclopentane reacted with butadiene by the catalysis of PdCI2(PPhs)2 at 100°C to give l,l,5,5-tetramethyl-l,5-disilacyclotrideca-7,ll-diene (70) in... 

The most important reaction is the oxidative addition of two moles of acetic acid to butadiene to form 1,4-diacetoxy-2-butene (21) with the reduction of Pd2+ to Pd°. In this reaction, 3,4-diacetoxy-l-butene (127) is also formed. In order to carry out the reaction catalytic with regard to Pd2+, a redox system is used. This reaction attracts attention from the standpoint of industrial production of 1,4-butanediol. For this purpose, the formation of 127 should be minimized. Numerous patent applications have been made (examples 113-115), but no paper treating the systematic studies on the reaction has been published.
