Conjugated dienes product

Similar reactions were applied to the syntheses of rf/-ep/-pyroangolen-solide, i/-pyroangoensolide (Eq. 12.29)88 and the formal synthesis of the Inhoffen-Lythgoe diol (Eq. 12.30).89 The key step in the formal synthesis of the Inhoffen-Lythgoe diol is the aqueous Diels-Alder reaction between the sodium salt of the diene and methacrolein to form the cycloadduct, which then undergoes subsequent reactions to form the known hydrin-dan. Sodium (E)-4, 6, 7-octatrienoate reacted smoothly with a variety of dienophiles to give conjugated diene products.90... 

In addition to reaction with traditional oxidants and reductants, furan readily undergoes analogous reactions that can be formally viewed as a net addition reaction across the Jt-system and as a conjugated diene, products of both 1,2- and 1,4 addition can be formed (Scheme 14). 

Additional aspects of enyne metathesis are depicted in Scheme 28. The conjugated diene products of enyne metathesis can undergo Diels-Alder reactions. Enyne metathesis—Diels-Alder can even be performed as a one-pot tandem reaction process, as exemplified by enyne metathesis of 240 in the presence of maleic anhydride. 

Jote 2. We have also carried out this synthesis in ethanol as a solvent but the results were not reproducible. Although a series of experiments with zinc powder from one flask gave reasonable results (50-78% yields), a new flask with the same batch number gave low yields of impure products. The main impurity was probably the non-conjugated diene, H2C=CH-CH2-CH=CH-CH3, possibly resulting from reduction of the 1,2,4-triene by the zinc. The... 

The TT-allylpalladium complexes formed from conjugated dienes are reactive and react further with a nucleophile to give the 1,4-difunctionalized products 340. Based on this reaction, various nucleophiles are introduced into conjugated dienes to form 1,4-difunctionalized 2-alkenes. Acetoxy, alkoxy, halo, and... 

It is possible to prepare 1-acetoxy-4-chloro-2-alkenes from conjugated dienes with high selectivity. In the presence of stoichiometric amounts of LiOAc and LiCl, l-acetoxy-4-chloro-2-hutene (358) is obtained from butadiene[307], and cw-l-acetoxy-4-chloro-2-cyclohexene (360) is obtained from 1.3-cyclohexa-diene with 99% selectivity[308]. Neither the 1.4-dichloride nor 1.4-diacetate is formed. Good stereocontrol is also observed with acyclic diene.s[309]. The chloride and acetoxy groups have different reactivities. The Pd-catalyzed selective displacement of the chloride in 358 with diethylamine gives 359 without attacking allylic acetate, and the chloride in 360 is displaced with malonate with retention of the stereochemistry to give 361, while the uncatalyzed reaction affords the inversion product 362. 

Addition of several organomercury compounds (methyl, aryl, and benzyl) to conjugated dienes in the presence of Pd(II) salts generates the ir-allylpalladium complex 422, which is subjected to further transformations. A secondary amine reacts to give the tertiary allylic amine 423 in a modest yield along with diene 424 and reduced product 425[382,383]. Even the unconjugated diene 426 is converted into the 7r-allyllic palladium complex 427 by the reaction of PhHgCI via the elimination and reverse readdition of H—Pd—Cl[383]. 

In steroid systems, the homoannular diene in ring A and the heteroannular diene in AB rings are generated. The allylic 3a-carbonate 514 affords the homoannular conjugated diene 515 as a main product and a small amount of the heteroannular diene 516. On the other hand, the heteroannular conjugated diene 516 is obtained exclusively from 33-carbonates 517. The elimination reaction proceeds smoothly at room temperature. 

Unstrained difluorotetramethyldisilane (84) gives the 1 1 adduct 85 as the main product and the 1 2 adduct 86 as a minor product[78,79]. On the other hand, the dimerization and double silylation of conjugated dienes with (Me3Si)2 catalyzed by PdCl2(PhCN)2 take place at 90" C[80]. Pd(dba)2 without phosphine is an active catalyst for the reaction, which proceeds in DMF to give 87 at room temperature[81], A five-membered ring is formed by the application of the reaction to the di-(2,4-pentadienyl)malonate (69)[82]. 

The conjugated diene 1 3 butadiene is used m the manufacture of synthetic rubber and IS prepared on an industrial scale m vast quantities Production m the United States is currently 4 X 10 Ib/year One industrial process is similar to that used for the prepara tion of ethylene In the presence of a suitable catalyst butane undergoes thermal dehy drogenation to yield 1 3 butadiene... 

Section 10 10 Protonation at the terminal carbon of a conjugated diene system gives an allylic carbocation that can be captured by the halide nucleophile at either of the two sites that share the positive charge Nucleophilic attack at the carbon adjacent to the one that is protonated gives the product of direct addition (1 2 addition) Capture at the other site gives the product of conjugate addition (1 4 addition)... 

Section 10 12 Conjugate addition of an alkene (the dienophile) to a conjugated diene gives a cyclohexene derivative in a process called the Diels-Alder reaction It is concerted and stereospecific substituents that are cis to each other on the dienophile remain cis m the product... 

Myrcene with its conjugated diene system readily undergoes Diels-Alder reactions with a number of dienophiles. For example, reaction with 3-meth.5i-3-pentene-2-one with a catalytic amount of AlCl gives an intermediate monocyclic ketone, which when cyclized with 85% phosphoric acid produces the bicycHc ketone known as Iso E Super [54464-57-2] (49). The product is useful in providing sandalwood-like and cedarwood-like fragrance ingredients (91). 

Conjugated-Diene Butyl. CDB can be obtained by the controlled dehydrohalogenation of halogenated butyl mbbet (27). This product concept remains in the development stage. 

As with addition of other electrophiles, halogenation of conjugated dienes can give 1,2- or 1,4-addition products. When molecular bromine is used as the brominating agent in chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent, the 1,4-addition product dominates by 7 1 in the case of butadiene. ... 

HCl adds to conjugated dienes in the same way that it adds to simple alkenes. However, dienes often yield a mixture of 1,2 and 1,4-addition products, e.g. 

Danishefsky et al. were probably the first to observe that lanthanide complexes can catalyze the cycloaddition reaction of aldehydes with activated dienes [24]. The reaction of benzaldehyde la with activated conjugated dienes such as 2d was found to be catalyzed by Eu(hfc)3 16 giving up to 58% ee (Scheme 4.16). The ee of the cycloaddition products for other substrates was in the range 20-40% with 1 mol% loading of 16. Catalyst 16 has also been used for diastereoselective cycloaddition reactions using chiral 0-menthoxy-activated dienes derived from (-)-menthol, giving up to 84% de [24b,c] it has also been used for the synthesis of optically pure saccharides.
