Cleavage reactions complexes

Release by Silver-Assisted Cleavag e. A soluble silver complex formed imagewise in the undeveloped areas of the silver haUde layer may be used to effect a cleavage reaction that releases a dye or a dye precursor. The process yields positive dye transfer images directiy with negative-working emulsions (46). An example is the silver-assisted cleavage of a dye-substituted thiazolidine compound, as shown in equation 7. 

The use of this group was developed to improve the quality and mildness of the cleavage reaction in the synthesis of complex amino sugars.The dichloroph-thalimide group has also been examined in this context, but little is known of its advantages or disadvantages. ... 

Alicyclic hydroxamic acids undergo several specific oxidative cleavage reactions which may be of diagnostic or preparative value. In the pyrrolidine series compounds of type 66 have been oxidized with sodium hypobromite or with periodates to give y-nitroso acids (113). Ozonolysis gives the corresponding y-nitro acids. The related cyclic aldonitrone.s are also oxidized by periodate to nitroso acids, presumably via the hydroxamic acids.This periodate fission was used in the complex degradation of J -nitrones derived from aconitine. 

Thermolysis of the t]-coordinated zirconium complex of thiophene Cp2Zr(SiMc3) (C4H3S) is a thienyl ring cleavage reaction (920M1646). 

Furthermore, Cordes etal995 observed the saturation-type kinetics, strongly suggesting the formation of a complex between the polyelectrolyte and ester preceding bond cleavage reactions, as has been found for micellar catalysis11,1015. 

The reaction of [p-MeC6H4C(NSiMe3)2]2Ta( = CH2)CH3 with 2,6-dimethyl-phenyl isocyanide afforded an f/ -ketenimine complex (Scheme 118). Carbon-sulfur cleavage reactions produced tantalum thioformaldehyde and tantalum sulfido complexes. ...

A surprising exception has been reported with evidence for a cleavage reaction in the case of divinyl sulphone. In non-aqueous and slightly acidic media, the behaviour of a., ji-unsaturated aromatic sulphones is also complex (see Table 7) since the cleavage and the saturation may compete. Strongly electrophilic double bonds undergo Michael additions in aprotic solvents by slowly protonated anions. Transfer of labile hydrogen may also lead to unactivated bases. It is noteworthy that in numerous cases (Table 6) the saturation is the preferred route. 

P(0)(0Me)H and [TpAr Me]Zn0P(0)(0R)2, respectively (Scheme 26) (35). In addition, [TpAr Me]ZnOH also cleaves activated esters and amides in a stoichiometric fashion, as illustrated in Scheme 27. Kitajima has described a similar amide cleavage reaction between the copper and nickel hydroxide complexes [Tp JMtOH) (M = Ni, Cu) and p-nitroacetanilide to give [TpPr 2]M p2-MeC(0)NC6H4N02 [Eq. (34)] (198). 

In the meantime temperature-dependent stopped-flow measurements were conducted on the latter complex in order to determine the activation parameters of the N-N cleavage reaction (24). Plots of the absorption intensity at 418 nm vs. time at T — —35 to +15°C indicate biphasic kinetics with two rate constants 0bs(p and obs(2)> in analogy to our measurements of the tungsten complex. This time, however, both rates depended upon the acid concentration. Interestingly much smaller rate constants 0bs(i) and 0bs(2)> were found for all acid concentrations than given by Henderson et al. for his (single) rate constant kobs (up to 1 order of magnitude). Furthermore plots of 0bs(i) and kohs(2) vs. the acid concentration showed no saturation behavior but linear dependencies with slopes k and k and intercepts k und k, respectively (s — acid dependent and i — acid independent), Eq. (2) ... 

Recent developments are ring-cleavage reactions of the heterocycles [R2M-SbR2]w with 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine leading to base-stabilized monomers, [L — R M-SbR, (R = Me, SiMe3 R = Me, Et, i-Bu M = A1, Ga).83,84 Reaction of [L-Al(Me2)-Sb(SiMe3)2] [L = 4-(dimethylamino)pyr-idine] with [Ni(CO)4] leads to the corresponding tricarbonyl nickel complex (Equation 4).85... 

As mentioned above nonconjugated dienes give stable complexes where the two double bonds can form a chelate complex. A common pathway in palladium-catalyzed oxidation of nonconjugated dienes is that, after a first nucleophilic addition to one of the double bonds, the second double bond inserts into the palladium-carbon bond. The new (cr-alkyl)palladium complex produced can then undergo a /(-elimination or an oxidative cleavage reaction (Scheme 2). An early example of this type of reaction, although not catalytic, was reported by Tsuji and Takahashi (equation 2)12.
