In azo couplings with carbonyl compounds, three tautomeric products are possible, compared with only two for phenols and aromatic amines (discussed in Section 12.1). The ketohydrazone 12.75 is most often dominant, but for easily enolizable 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds (X=CO-R and similar structures) the azoenol 12.76 is the major product. The azoketone 12.77 is often postulated as primary product, but has rarely been identified in an unambiguous fashion using modern methods. The CH2 group should be easily detectable in the lH NMR spectrum. 

A part of the mechanistic spectrum is supported by the [2+2] cycloaddition reactions between the unsaturated carbon bonds and carbonyl compounds [24].

Thus far, we have discovered and demonstrated a new and effident method for the synthesis of indoles from various carbonyl compounds. This, in conjunction with the use of alkyries in the palladium-catalyzed indolization, widens the spectrum of indoles that can be prepared by these means. The simple procedure, mild reaction conditions, and ready availability of the starting materials render these methods valuable additions to indole chemistry. We next extended this method to the synthesis of the indole core of a PGD2 receptor antagonist, laropiprant 3. 

Aldol reactions have also been used as a means of macrocychzation in total synthesis and were quite successful in some cases. However, over a broader spectrum of substrates, the results are unpredictable at best and yields and stereochemical outcome vary greatly. The predominant reasons are difficulties in selective enolate formation in multi-carbonyl compounds, competing and equilibrating retro-aldolizations—especially with polyketides, which often possess several aldol moieties—and intermolecular instead of intramolecular reaction preference. Whereas most of these drawbacks may be overcome, substrate-independent stereocontrol plays a crucial role. At least one new stereocenter is formed during a macroaldolization, and because of the folding constraints involved, its configuration cannot be adequately predicted. Therefore, this can be useful in special cases but with the current possibilities is not the method of choice for a general diversity-oriented synthesis. 

The carbonyl stretch in the 1,700 cm region of the infrared spectra of carbonyl compounds is a very obvious feature of the spectrum for these compounds, in this section we look at some other spectral features of carboxylic acids and their derivatives, and also at some chemical tests that can help you determine what you re dealing with. 

Examination of the optical spectrum of the filtered purple solution gave a structured absorption band with maxima at 514 and 543 nm. This position is remarkably close (566 nm) to the n-n electronic transition predicted by Davis and Goddard for the parent system H2N=N. As expected for an n-n transition, the position of the absorption maximum is solvent dependent. In dichloromethane solution, A,i ax is 541 nm, in 2-propanol it is 526 nm. The blue shift of 15 nm is completely consistent with the n-n absorptions of isoelectronic carbonyl compounds. 

In most of the cases to be considered in this review the molecules are initially dissolved in a nonpolar solvent (e.g., cyclohexane) in which the original spectrum is recorded, then are adsorbed onto a relatively polar surface. It would, therefore, be anticipated that shifts to lower wavelengths would be observed for the n -> 77 transitions, e.g., the low energy transition in carbonyl compounds, while a shift in the reverse direction will occasionally be observed for the 77 77 transitions of aromatic hydrocarbons. 

The compound [PPN][Mn2(/i-PPh2)(CO)8] is an orange, air-stable solid. It is soluble in tetrahydrofuran, acetone, and chlorinated solvents, moderately soluble in alcohols and toluene and insoluble in water and hydrocarbon solvents. Solutions of [PPN][Mn2(ju-PPh2)(CO)8] are surprisingly stable as compared to most other transition metal carbonyl anions, decomposing only slowly (days) on exposure to air and/or moisture. The carbonyl IR spectrum of the anion in dichloromethane shows absorptions at 2037 (m), 1947 (s), 1941 (vs), 1914(w), 1888(m), and 1872(m).3... 

Due to a partial 77-character, aromatic carbonyl compounds have an activation energy barrier for rotation around the phenyl-carbonyl bond, the value of which is substantially increased upon protonation.44 In para-anisaldehyde a second protonation of the methoxy group will drastically decrease their barrier. The temperature-dependent NMR spectrum will reflect both exchange processes, intra- and intermolecular, as shown in Scheme 1.1. 

A broad spectrum of a,/J-unsaturated carbonyl compounds becomes accessible in this way because a great variety of aldehydes is suited for aldol condensation. Table 13.7 exemplifies the broad scope by way of the reactions of an aldehyde enolate (center) and of the enolate of an unsymmetrical ketone (right). The right column of Table 13.7 also shows that the regio-selectivity of the aldol condensation of the ketone is not easy to predict. Subtle substituent...

The C=C absorption of a conjugated carbonyl compound may not be apparent in the IR spectrum because it is so much weaker than the C=0 absorption. The presence of the C = C double bond can still be inferred from its effect on the C=0 frequency and the presence of unsaturated =C—H absorptions above 3000 cm-1.
