Butoxy

To a mixture of 50 ml of dry THF and 0.050 mol of l-tert.-butoxy-2-pentyne (prepared by ethylation of HC-CCH O-tert.-Ci,H9 in liquid ammonia was added 0.055 mol of butyilithium in about 35 ml of hexane in 10 min at -30°C. After stirring for 20 min at -25°C the solution was cooled to -50°C and 0.06 mol of methyl iodide was added in one portion, followed 10 min later by 50 ml of water. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted twice with diethyl ether. The solutions were dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in a water-pump vacuum.

The proposed mechanism for producing ethanol [64-17-5] from butane involves -scission of a j -butoxy radical (eq. 38). The j -butoxy radicals are derived from j -butylperoxy radicals (reaction 14 (213)) and/or through some sequence involving reaction 33. If 25% of the carbon forms ethanol, over 50% must pass through the j -butoxy radical. Furthermore, the principal fate of j -butoxy radicals must be the P-scission reaction the ethoxy radical, on the other hand, must be converted to ethanol efficiently. 

Methyl ethyl ketone, a significant coproduct, seems likely to arise in large part from the termination reactions of j -butylperoxy radicals by the Russell mechanism (eq. 15, where R = CH and R = CH2CH2). Since alcohols oxidize rapidly vs paraffins, the j -butyl alcohol produced (eq. 15) is rapidly oxidized to methyl ethyl ketone. Some of the j -butyl alcohol probably arises from hydrogen abstraction by j -butoxy radicals, but the high efficiency to ethanol indicates this is a minor source. 

Propionic acid made in butane LPO probably comes by a minor variation of reaction 38 that produces methyl radicals and propionaldehyde. It is estimated that up to 18% of the j -butoxy radicals may decompose in this manner (213) this may be high since propionic acid is a minor product. 

Because di-/ fZ-alkyl peroxides are less susceptible to radical-induced decompositions, they are safer and more efficient radical generators than primary or secondary dialkyl peroxides. They are the preferred dialkyl peroxides for generating free radicals for commercial appHcations. Without reactive substrates present, di-/ fZ-alkyl peroxides decompose to generate alcohols, ketones, hydrocarbons, and minor amounts of ethers, epoxides, and carbon monoxide. Photolysis of di-/ fZ-butyl peroxide generates / fZ-butoxy radicals at low temperatures (75), whereas thermolysis at high temperatures generates methyl radicals by P-scission (44). 

The six coordinated titanium(IV) compounds, Ti(acac)2(X)2, where X is methoxy, ethoxy, isopropoxy, -butoxy, or chloro, all adopt the cis-configuration. This is beheved to result from the ligand-to-metal TT-electron donation (88,89). 

A/-Trimethoxybora2ines are available from reaction of dichloroboranes and 0-methyl-X,X-his(trimethylsilyl)hydroxylamine (eq. 31). The B-trichloro-bora2iQes undergo substitution reactions at the B atoms to give B-tri(/ f -butoxy)- or B-tri(/ f2 -but5i)-A/-trimethoxybora2iaes (101)... 

The glycol ethers obtained from /-butyl alcohol and propylene oxide, eg, l-/-butoxy-2-propanol, have lower toxicities than the widely employed 2-butoxyethanol and are used in industrial coatings and to solubiHze organic components in aqueous formulations (28). 

Substituted PPVs have been prepared using similar techniques. The earliest reports described methyl substituents (104,105), and more recentiy alkoxy substituents on the aromatic ring have been incorporated into the polymer stmctures (107—109). The advantage of long-chain alkoxy (butoxy or hexyloxy) substituents is that not only is the precursor polyelectrolyte soluble, but after conversion the substituted PPV is also soluble (110—112). 

IV-Oxidation of 3,6-dialkoxypyridazines (OMe, OEt, OPr", OBu") gives monoxides, while 3,6-di-r-butoxy- and 3,6-dibenzyloxy-pyridazine cannot be IV-oxidized, but give 6-hydroxy-pyridazin-3(2/f)-one and 6-benzyloxypyridazin-3(2//)-one as hydrolysis products. Methyl-thiopyridazines give both 5-oxidation and IV-oxidation products with various oxidizing agents in some instances. 

Large ring heterocyclic radicals are not particularly well known as a class. Their behavior often resembles that of their alicyclic counterparts, except for transannular reactions, such as the intramolecular cyclization of 1-azacyclononan-l-yl (Scheme 1) (72CJCH67). As is the case with alicyclic ethers, oxepane in the reaction with r-butoxy radical suffers abstraction of a hydrogen atom from the 2-position in the first reaction step (Scheme 2) (76TL439).

Other methods for the preparation of cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde include the catalytic hydrogenation of 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxaldehyde, available from the Diels-Alder reaction of butadiene and acrolein, the reduction of cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride by lithium tri-tcrt-butoxy-aluminum hydride,the reduction of iV,A -dimethylcyclohexane-carboxamide with lithium diethoxyaluminum hydride, and the oxidation of the methane-sulfonate of cyclohexylmethanol with dimethyl sulfoxide. The hydrolysis, with simultaneous decarboxylation and rearrangement, of glycidic esters derived from cyclohexanone gives cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde.
