Carbonyls conjugated

For conjugated carbonyl compounds, such as a,) -enones, the orbital diagram would be similar, except for the recognition that the HOMO of the ground state is ij/2 of the enone system, rather than the oxygen lone-pair orbital. The excited states can sometimes be usefully represented as dipolar or diradical intermediates ...

In certain cases, Michael reactions can take place under acidic conditions. Michael-type addition of radicals to conjugated carbonyl compounds is also known.Radical addition can be catalyzed by Yb(OTf)3, but radicals add under standard conditions as well, even intramolecularly. Electrochemical-initiated Michael additions are known, and aryl halides add in the presence of NiBr2. Michael reactions are sometimes applied to substrates of the type C=C—Z, where the co-products are conjugated systems of the type C=C—Indeed, because of the greater susceptibility of triple bonds to nucleophilic attack, it is even possible for nonactivated alkynes (e.g., acetylene), to be substrates in this... 

In the presence of a base such as l,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) or tri-alkylphosphines, conjugated carbonyl compounds such as esters and amides add to aldehydes via the a-carbon to give a-alkenyl-P-hydroxy esters or amides. This sequence is called the Baylis-Hillman reaction and a simple example is... 

Ordinary Grignard reagents react with a, -unsaturated carbonyl compounds and afford both 1,2-adduct and 1,4-adduct. However, methylsulfonyhnethylmagnesium bromide or p-tolylsulfonylmethylmagnesium bromide gave only 1,2-adducts in the reaction with conjugated carbonyl compounds such as crotonaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde, trans-4-phenyl-3-buten-2-one, benzalacetophenone and l,5-diphenyl-2,4-pentadien-l-one.

The allylic alcohols that are the initial oxidation products can be further oxidized to carbonyl groups by Se02 and the conjugated carbonyl compound is usually isolated. If the alcohol is the desired product, the oxidation can be run in acetic acid, in which case acetate esters are formed. 

Luche reported that when a zinc-copper couple was used, alkyl halides reacted with conjugated carbonyl compounds and nitriles to give 1,4-addition products in good yields under sonication conditions (Eq. 10.26).57... 

The hydrocyanation of conjugated carbonyl compounds is a related reaction.83 Very often such a conjugated addition is carried out in aqueous conditions. For example, in the pioneer work of Lapworth, hydrocyanation of activated olefins was carried out with KCN or NaCN in aqueous ethanol in the presence of acetic acid (Eq. 10.36).84...
