Two reaction intermediates were generated neither of which were isolated. The first, azi-dotris(diethylamino)phosphonium bromide, (Et2N)3P+N3Br , was formed by the reaction of hexaethyl phosphorous triamide, bromine and sodium azide. It has also been prepared starting with phosphorous trichloride (1). The second reaction intermediate, dimethyl /3-keto-o -diazo phosphate (I), is the base catalysis product of azidotris(diethylamino)-phosphonium bromide and dimethyl-2-oxopropyl phosphate. 

Interest in coal-derived syntheses of base chemicals has led to a fast growing number of publications in open and patent literature concerning homologation reaction. -Most of that work is devoted to the hydrocarbonylation of methanol and aims at the optimi7ation of catalysis, product separation, and catalyst recycling.

Unfortunately, precise data on domestic production of vanadium from ores, concentrates, and slags from 1985 to the present are unavailable in order to avoid disclosing company proprietary data. However, the amount of vanadium recovered from ores and concentrates decreased from 2,171 tons in 1983 to 1,617 tons in 1984, and production levels from these sources are reported to have continued to decline between 1985 and 1987. This decline was partially compensated for by increased production from low-cost petroleum residues, utility ash, and spent catalysis. Production volumes from these sources increases from 893 tons in 1983 to 2,695 tons in 1985, an increase of approximately 281% volumes remained reasonably constant through 1987 (Hilliard 1987). 

A method has been developed that combines the advantages of solid-supported catalyst extraction and solution-phase reactivity. By preparing a palladium complex bearing an anthracene tag, this can then be attached to a solid support via a chemoselective Diels-Alder cycloaddition to sequester the palladium catalyst along with any dissociated phosphine or phosphine oxide at the end of the reaction, leaving the desired catalysis product in the solution. The basis of the methodology is shown in Scheme 15. 

Jn a potentially far reaching application for melt catalysis by the transition metals, we at Texaco have demonstrated the synthesis of a range of commodity chemicals and fuels directly from CO/H2 via the use of ruthenium-containing molten salt catalysis. Products include ethylene glycol, Ci-C4 alcohols, acetic acid, acetate esters, C2+ olefins and vicinal glycol esters. In its simplest form, this new class of melt catalyst comprises one or more ruthenium sources, e.g. ruthenium carbonyls, oxides, complexes, etc. dispersed in a low-melting (m.p. <150 C) quaternary phosphonium or ammonium salt (e.g. tetrabutylphos-phonium bromide). The key components are selected such that ... 

The formation of C-C bonds is one of the important fields of synthetic organic chenustry. Modern methods are in the focus of scientists in academia and industry, often being connected to catalysis. Products based on catalysis represent more than 90% of the total amount of new compounds. Presently, palladium-catalysed reactions play a dominant role. For example, Mizoroki-Heck reactions, as well as Stille, Suzuki, Negishi, Kumada and Sonogashira couplings, are in the standard toolbox of organic chemists [1].

The nearly complete catalytic intolerance for glutamyl and alanyl substitutions in the DDxxD motif of limonene synthase is novel and unlike the much less pronounced effects of comparable substitutions in the sesquiterpene cyclase trichodiene synthase [97, 98]. However, pre-steady state kinetic analysis of trichodiene synthase [101] and several other sesquiterpene synthases [102] has recently shown that product release is rate limiting in these cases, and thus can mask the kinetic influence of the aspartate mutations on earlier steps in the catalytic cycle. In the instance of monoterpene cyclase catalysis, product release is not the slow step since comparison of k at values with GPP and LPP as substrate clearly reveals the initial ionization-isomerization to be rate limiting. Thus, perturbations that influence the first ionization step will be fully reflected in overall rate suppression for limonene synthase. This kinetic sensitivity at the initial steps of the reaction cycle does not, however, explain the near complete intolerance of limonene synthase to aspartate substitution in the DDxxD motif and it is thus tempting to speculate a more specific, but presently unidentified, influence on the requisite isomerization of GPP. 

An alternative procedure attempted was the utilization of A -t-butoxy-carbonyl amino acids for the esterification of the 3 - (or 2 -) hydroxyl group of ATP with carbodiimidazole catalysis. Products of a similar esterification of the hydroxyl groups at the 2 - or 3 -positions of nucleosides and nucleotides by amino acids have been investigated as analogs for an intermediate step in protein synthesis. 

Design of Enamine-Enamine Cascades Three possible active sites (e.g., carbonyl group, nucleophilic a- and Y-positions) of enamine catalysis product 4 or 6 (Figure 1.1) can be further functionalized via a second enamine process in a cascade manner. Taking advantage of the electrophilic carbonyl in 4 and 6, intermolecular enamine-enamine (Scheme 1.3a) and enamine-enamine cyclization (Scheme 1.3b) cascades could be possible. In addition, the a-position of the same (Scheme 1.3c) or different (Scheme 1.3d, e.g., Robinson annulation) carbonyl group can be subjected to a second enamine process.
