Pitch Coke. The manufacture of pitch coke provides a large toimage oudet for coke-oven pitch in Japan, the CIS and, until more recently, Germany (75,76). Pitch coke is used either alone or mixed with petroleum coke as the carbon component of electrodes, carbon bmshes, and shaped carbon and graphite articles. 

Another recent development is the preparation of a polyester-polycarbonate copolymer. The polymers involve a polyester component based on the reaction between bis-phenol A and iso- or terephthalic acid with the carbonate component arising from the reactions described in Section 20.3 (see Section 20.9). 

Another interesting [3+2] cycloaddition in aqueous media was recently reported by Murakami.131 2-Cyanophenylboronic acid reacted as a three-carbon component with alkynes or alkenes to afford substituted indenones or indanones (Eq. 4.67). The use of an alkynoate even produced benzotropone, a formal [3 + 2 + 2] adduct. 

More interesting data was found in the mixtures we have seen that carbon additives tend to reduce specific resistance of the mixture, while active material (activated carbon) increases resistance (54 10"3 ohm-m vs. 49 10"3 ohm-m). This phenomenon suggests that carbon-carbon component mixtures have better packing characteristics. 

Composite electrodes made of two carbon components were evaluated experimentally as anodes for Li-ion batteries. The electrochemical activity of these electrodes in the reaction of reversible lithium intercalation ffom/to a solution of LiPF6 in ethyl carbonate and diethyl carbonate was studied. Compositions of the electrode material promising for the usage in Li-ion batteries were found. 

The first examples of transition metal-catalyzed [5 + 2]-cycloadditions between vinylcyclopropanes (VCPs) and 7r-systems were reported in 1995 by Wender and co-workers.10 This [5 + 2]-reaction was based conceptually on the Diels-Alder reaction, replacing the four-carbon, four-7r-electron diene with a five-carbon, four-electron VCP (Scheme 1). Although the [5 + 2]-reaction of VCPs and 7r-systems can be thought of as a homolog of the Diels-Alder [4 +21-reaction, the kinetic stability of VCPs (activation barrier for the thermal isomerization of VCP to cyclopentene has been reported as 51.7 kcal mol-1)11 makes the thermal [5 + 2]-reactions involving VCPs and 7r-systems very difficult to achieve. A report of a thermal [5 + 2]-cycloaddition between maleic anhydride and a VCP has been published,12 but this reaction has not been reproduced by others.13 14 Based on the metal-catalyzed isomerization of VCPs to cyclopentenes and dienes,15-20 Wender and co-workers hypothesized that a metal might be used to convert a VCP to a metallocyclohexene which in turn might be trapped by a 7r-system to produce a [5 + 2]-cycloadduct. Based on its previous effectiveness in catalyzed [4 + 2]-21 and [4 + 4]-cycloadditions (Section 10.13.2.4), nickel(0) was initially selected to explore the potential of VCPs as four-electron, five-carbon components in [5 + 2]-cycloadditions. 

Given the commercial availability of alkynes as two-carbon components, the intermolecular [5 + 2]-cycloaddition of alkynes and VCPs represents a potentially practical route to seven-membered rings. However, initial attempts at an intermolecular [5 + 2]-reaction of alkynes and VCPs with modified Wilkinson s catalysts led to cyclotrimerization of the alkynes and/or isomerization of the VCPs. The first intermolecular [5 + 2]-cycloaddition of alkynes was realized... 

In another conceptually novel [5 + 2]-process, Tanino and co-workers synthesized cycloheptene derivatives by stereoselective [5 + 2]-cycloadditions involving hexacarbonyldicobalt-acetylene complexes as the five-carbon component and enol ethers as the two-carbon component (Schemes 22 and 23).60 61 The role of the dicobalthexacarbonyl complex is to facilitate formation and reaction of the propargyl cation putatively involved as an intermediate in this reaction. The dicobalthexacarbonyl moiety can be removed using various conditions (Scheme 24) to provide alkane 60, alkene 62, and anhydride 63. 

The palladium-catalyzed hetero-[4 + 3]-cycloadditions reported by Trost and Marrs utilize a metal-complexed trimethylenemethane as the three-carbon component. These complexes react with a,/3-unsaturated imines to produce seven-membered heterocycles in moderate to good yields.84 Two examples of this reaction were reported and are shown in Equations (13) and (14). Only the [4 + 3]-reaction was observed with a,/3-unsaturated imine 76 however, both the [4 + 3]- and the [3 + 2]-modes of reactivity are observed with a,/3-unsaturated imine 79. 

Takahashi and co-workers have designed a [4 + 3]-cycloaddition based on their previously reported [4 + 4]- and [4 + 5]-reactions (Sections 10.13.2.4 and 10.13.2.7) involving zirconacyclopentadienes as four-carbon components. The zirconacyclopentadienes are prepared by the coupling of two alkynes with Cp2ZrR2 (where R = Et, Bu, or... 

A rare example of a higher-order [5 + 3]-cycloaddition was reported by Liesbeskind and Arrayas. Homochiral 7]3-pyranyl- and // -pyridinyl-molybdcnum 7r-complexes react with an oxyallyl cation that is generated in situ from the precursor 88. After decomplexation of the molybdenum, oxa- and azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonenes are obtained in moderate yields and in excellent ee s (Scheme 27).89 Related work using 3-pyranyl- and 3-pyridinyl-molybdenum 7r-complexes as five-carbon components in [5 + 2]-cycloadditions is discussed in Section 10.13.2.1.2. 

Although disubstituted alkynes are used successfully as two-carbon components in chromium-mediated and -catalyzed [6 + 2]-reactions, the use of terminal alkynes produces a [6 + 2 + 2]-reaction (Section 10.13.3.7). Buono and co-workers have discovered that when a cobalt catalyst is employed, several monosubstituted alkynes can be used in [6 + 2]-cycloadditions with cycloheptatriene (Scheme 35). The use of a chiral BINOL-phosphoramidite cobalt complex affords an enantioselective [6 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction (Equation (18)).121... 

In addition to cycloheptatriene, cyclooctatriene and cyclooctatetraene systems can be used as six-carbon components in the [6 + 2]-cycloaddition with 7t-systems (Scheme 36). Interestingly, in these cases, dienes react exclusively... 

The palladium-catalyzed trimethylenemethane reaction with tropanones was reported in 1987 by Trost and Seoane and is the first example of a [6 + 3]-cycloaddition.130 Chromium-mediated [6 + 3]-cycloadditions of two types have been described-one in which the chromium complex activates the six-carbon component and one in which the chromium complex activates the three-atom component. An example of the first type involves the reaction of a cycloheptatriene-Cr(CO)3 complex with azirines to give cyclic imines in moderate yields (Scheme 40).131... 

Alkenyl Fischer carbene complexes can serve as three-carbon components in the [6 + 3]-reactions of vinylchro-mium carbenes and fulvenes (Equations (23)—(25)), providing rapid access to indanone and indene structures.132 This reaction tolerates substitution of the fulvene, but the carbene complex requires extended conjugation to a carbonyl or aromatic ring. This reaction is proposed to be initiated by 1,2-addition of the electron-rich fulvene to the chromium carbene followed by a 1,2-shift of the chromium with simultaneous ring closure. Reductive elimination of the chromium metal and elimination/isomerization gives the products (Scheme 41). 

As an extension of their work on the [4+ 4]-reaction of zirconacyclopentadienes and l,2-bis(bromomethyl)arenes (Section 10.13.2.4), Takahashi and co-workers reported a [5 + 4]-reaction based on the use of l,8-bis(bromomethyl)-naphthalene as the five-carbon component.85 As with the [4 + 4]-reaction, the [5 +4]-reaction works with a catalytic amount of CuCl, but higher yields and faster reactions result when stoichiometric CuCl and 1,3-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2(l//)-pyrimidinone(iV,iV -dimethylpropyleneurea) (DMPLJ) are used (Scheme 42). 

In a noteworthy series of studies, Herndon has shown that cyclopropylcarbenes can be used as four-carbon components in molybdenum- and tungsten-mediated [4 + 2 + l]-reactions with alkynes and carbon monoxide (CO). These reactions give cycloheptadienones in moderate yields and with moderate selectivity (Equations (26)—(28)). The mechanism of this reaction is proposed to proceed through a series of steps involving metathesis, GO insertion, ketene formation, cyclopropane cleavage, and finally reductive elimination (Scheme 43).133... 

The first metal-catalyzed [4 +2]-reaction of tethered dienes with 7r-systems was reported by Wender and Jenkins using alkynes initially as the two-carbon component.21 This study was based on the earlier observation by Wender and Ihle that in the [4 + 4]-cycloaddition of bis-dienes a competing side-reaction is the [4 + 2]-cycloaddition of the diene with a mono-ene portion of a second diene. The extension of this reaction to the synthesis of seven-membered rings by trapping the metallacycloheptadiene with CO, a formal [4 + 2 + l]-cycloaddition, has been shown in preliminary studies to be feasible. For example, tethered diene-yne 160 can be converted to cycloheptadienone 163 in an Rh(l)-catalyzed [4 + 2 + l]-reaction with CO, albeit the [4 + 2]- and [2 + 2 + l]-reaction products dominate (Equation (29)). The mechanistic scheme (Scheme 44) illustrates the possible metallacyclic intermediates leading to the observed products and provided the conceptual basis for the realization of three novel reaction types ([4 + 2], [2 + 2 + 1], and [4 + 2 + 1 ]).1... 

The use of a carbene as the one-carbon component provides an alternative and efficient entry into the [4 + 2+1]-reaction manifold. Montgomery and Ni have developed a nickel-catalyzed process where the carbene is generated from trimethylsilyldiazomethane (Scheme 45).135 It is not known, however, if the seven-membered ring forms via a Cope rearrangement of a divinylcylopropane or if the metal is intimately involved in the step that leads directly to... 

Vinyl Fischer carbenes can be used as three-carbon components in Ni(0)-mediated and Rh(l)-catalyzed [3 + 2 + 21-reactions with alkynes (Schemes 48 and 49)142 and with allenes (Schemes 50 and 51).143 All three of the proposed mechanisms for the [3 + 2 + 2]-cycloadditions involve an initial carbene transfer from chromium to nickel or rhodium (Schemes 49, 52, and 53). As is seen from the products of the two [3 + 2 + 2]-reactions with 1,1-dimethylallene, although the nickel and rhodium carbenes 147G and 147K appear similar, the initial insertion of the allene occurs with opposite regioselectivity. 

Thus far, the [5 + 2 + 1]-reaction works efficiently with alkynyl esters, amides, aldehydes, and ketones or an alkynyl-substituted allene44 as the two-carbon component (Scheme 58). Just as in the case of the [5 + 21-cycloaddition of VCPs and allenynes, the [5 + 2 + l]-reaction is selective for the allene over the alkyne subunit (Equation (35)). 

There are two main classes of [4 + 2 + 2]-metal-catalyzed higher-order cycloadditions that have been reported. The first class involves the reaction of 1,3-dienes (the four-carbon component) with norbornadienes (both two-carbon components) and the second involves the reaction of 1,3-dienes with either two alkynes or an alkyne and an alkene as the two-carbon components (Scheme 59). 

As indicated in Scheme 78, ortho-, meta-, and -substituted aryl alkynes were studied and were all shown to be effective two carbon components in this process. Alkyl alkynes were also studied and were found to give moderate yields of the [5 + 2 + 1 + l]-products (Equations (49) and (50)). 

In order to start the iterative calculation, a first estimate must be made. Although a subsequent section will show how to generate such an acceptable startup, the purpose of this exercise is to show how it works in a blind situation, which means that we do not want to be too smart. Let us assume that pH = 8, and split the carbonate component evenly between HC03 and C032 . [Ca2+] cannot be different from the amount present in the solution. We get the initial estimate, labeled with the superscript (0) as... 

Allylsilanes also serve as a two-carbon component for the analogous formal [4+2]-cydoaddition to provide tetrahydropyridines [188]. The reaction of 270b with 82 provided 271b, indicating that the enol ether moiety rather than the allylsilane moiety determines the orientation of the cycloaddition reaction. 

Typical PAFCs will generally operate in the range of 100 to 400 mA/cm at 600 to 800 mV/cell. Voltage and power constraints arise from increased corrosion of platinum and carbon components at cell potentials above approximately 800 mV. 

Campbell, Chisham, and Wilkinson [121] found that the catalyst utilization in the electrode and fuel cell performance could be improved by making the carbon-supported catalyst hydrophilic. This was done by treating the carbon-supported catalyst with a suitable acid such as nitric acid in order to introduce the surface oxide group on the carbon. In principle, this same approach could be applied to the carbon components of the DL and MPL. 

Inside a gasoline engine the air and gas are compressed to somewhere between 85 psi and 180 psi in most engines. When the piston is just past TDC the plug fires and the gases explode as the carbon components superheat under pressure. 

The decay of volume was determined by the decay of mass of carbon component rather than by the total mass decay. Thus, the extraction of volatiles causes the decay of mean density of the particle. 

Ketone enolate 51 could also serve as a two-carbon component in [3 + 2] annulation when reacted with -heteroatom-substituted a,/ -unsaturated acylsilane 52345 Ppj. tjjg enolate of 3-methyl-2-butanone 51 (R = /-Pr) reacts with...
