It was suggested that this change in product distribution was due to the existence of an equilibrium between two types of complex, viz., a cr-butenyl-pentacyanocobaltate(III) and a 7r-butenyltetracyanocobaltate(III) 107, 109). However, further study of the kinetics and product distribution suggested the presence of two o-bonded complexes, viz., cr-but-l-en-3-yl and a-but-2-en-l-yl 24a). Direct evidence for the existence of a cyanide-dependent equilibrium between the a- and rr-bonded organocyanide complexes has been obtained from NMR studies of the complex prepared by the reaction of allyl halides with Co—H 109) (see also Section V,C). Both butadiene and crotyl chloride react with Co—H to give the same... 

The protonation of the a-allylic cyanocobaltate complexes has been reported by Kwiatek and Seyler 50) to proceed with the liberation of the corresponding olefin. Thus the complex prepared from butadiene [Eq. (35)] on treatment with aqueous HCl liberates 1-butene. The carbonium ion which probably forms first can cleave directly to 1-butene or it may first rearrange to a Tr-olefin complex, from which the olefin is then displaced with either HgO or chloride ... 

On the other hand, the highest reactivity is achieved in the presence of the complex prepared in sim from Pd(acac)2 and N-heterocyclic carbene IMes.HCl (TON = 4.299). With this catalytic system, the dimerization of butadiene is negligible (1%). However, in that case, due to very high activity of the catalytic system, there is no selectivity towards the monotelomer, and a large amount of the ditelo-mer was formed (51 and 41% respectively). 

Several linear cooligomers of butadiene are prepared with alkenes and alkynes. Commercially important 1,4-hexadiene (103) is prepared by the reaction of ethylene and butadiene catalysed by Ni [40], Fe [41] and Rh [42], The experiment carried out using deuterated ethylene (100) supports the mechanism that the insertion of butadiene to M—H forms the 7i-allyl complex 99. Insertion of ethylene (100) to 99 gives 101, and its -elimination affords the cooligomer 102, tetradeuterated at C-1,1,2,6 of 103. 

The method of preparation of the copper (I) chloride-1,4-butadiene complex has been described by Gilliland and coworkers.3 The following procedure uses liquid 1,4-butadiene in contrast with the previous gas phase reactions. 

Poly(l,4-butadiene) segments prepared by the ruthenium-mediated ROMP of 1,5-cyclooctadiene can be incorporated into the ABA-type block copolymers with styrene (B-106) and MMA (B-107).397 The synthetic method is based on the copper-catalyzed radical polymerizations of styrene and MMA from the telechelic poly(butadiene) obtained by a bifunctional chain-transfer agent such as bis(allyl chloride) or bis-(2-bromopropionate) during the ROMP process. A more direct route to similar block copolymers is based on the use of a ruthenium carbene complex with a C—Br bond such as Ru-13 as described above.67 The complex induced simultaneous or tandem block copolymerizations of MMA and 1,5-cyclooctadiene to give B-108, which can be hydrogenated into B-109, in one pot, catalyzed by the ruthenium residue from Ru-13. 

The 1,3-butadiene cyclo-dimerization reaction can be performed by iron complexes, prepared in situ by the reduction of [Fe2(NO)4Gl2l with metallic zinc, dissolved in [G4GiIm][BF4] or [G4GiIm][PF6] ILs (Scheme 30). The linear dimerization of 1,3-butadiene can also be performed with Pd(ii) salts (chloride or acetate)/PPh3 catalyst precursor dissolved in [G4GiIm]BF4 or [G4GiIm]PF6 to produce 1,3,6-octatriene (Scheme 31). ... 

Changes in the kinetic activity distribution of the macromolecule growth centres can be observed in the butadiene polymerisation process when a titanium catalyst is prepared in situ. The function F(/w of the studied catalytic system has several maximums, indicating different types of AC in the butadiene polymerisation process and caxaXytk. complex prepared in situ, which is directly in the monomer solution. The number of maximums depends on the conversion (Figure 3.48). Five different types of AC have been identified for the studied system each of them is responsible for the synthesis of the polymer fraction with a specific MW Type -lnM = 7.1-7.8 Type II - / M = 9.4-9.9 Type III - / M = 11.0-12.0 Type IV - / M = 12.7-13.2 and Type V-lnM = 14.6-14.8. 

The compound [Mg(C4H6)(THF)2] is often used for the preparation of butadiene complexes. 

Arregui and co-workers have carried out some initial studies with CO-RM-1 in similar fashion to what has been carried out with previous CO-RMs. In rats, CO-RM-1 was shown to increase the level of CO-Hb in the blood and increase the levels of cGMP in urine. It was also shown to increase renal blood flow by a significant amount. This CO-RM was an important starting point in the development of CO quantification procedures and photo-activated CO release, however this molecule does not contain interesting structural features for further modification to alter properties like in the case of the acylojq butadiene complexes. New, more soluble and more structurally appropriate CO-RMs have now been prepared. 

Butadiene complexes are usually prepared in ways very similar to those used for alkenes, but some interesting examples of methods specific to diene complexes are shown below (Eqs. 5.27-5.29) - ... 

Complexes CpjZr f/ -diene) can be prepared from Cp ZrCI and magnesium butadiene (p. 93) in tetrahydrofuran, or by photolysis of Cp ZrPhj with butadiene. If the reactions are carried out at low temperature the kinetically controlled trans-butadiene complex is produced, via and / -intermediate. On warming to room temperature an equilibrium between the cis-t - (55%) and trans-rj - (45%) complexes becomes established. 

The tetrachlorodiester (431), prepared from the photoaddition product of dichloro-ethylene and dichloromaleic anhydride, reacts directly with sodium tetracarbonyl-ferrate to give the functionalized cyclobutadiene complex (432) in 30—40% yield. The vicinal diester groups have been modified to give a wide variety of 1,2-disubsti-tuted cyclo butadiene complexes. 

Cyclic a,/3-unsaturated ketones can be converted into their a-isopropenyl derivatives by the two-stage sequence illustrated by Scheme 72. Open-chain 2-acylbutadienes, less stable than their cyclic relatives, can be prepared by Friedel-Crafts acylation of butadiene complexes of the type (147). ...
