Cycloheptene complexes silver

Cycloheptene complexes with gold, 12 348 Cyclohexadiene complexes with cobalt, 12 286 with group VIB metals, 12 225-227 with group VIIB metals, 12 240, 241 with iron, 12 264 with palladium, 12 313 with ruthenium, 12 278 with silver, 12 340... 

It is more efficient to obtain cycloaddition products via a stable silver(I) triflate complex of trans-cycloheptenes that is preferably not isolated, e.g. formation of 21. ... 

Cycloheptene can be extracted by aqueous silver nitrate, and although no stable complex has been isolated, the equilibrium constant for the reaction Ag (1 Af KNOs)+olefin (CCU) [Ag(olefin)]+... 

Distribution measurements show that the silver complex of dr-cyclo-octene is less stable than that of cycloheptene, presumably owing to more ring strain in the latter 129,130). tronr-Cyclooctene is considerably more strained than the cis isomer, and can be separated from it by extraction with 20% aqueous silver nitrate 32), but there are no quantitative measurements of the stability of the silver complex of the tram isomer. The interesting possibility of isomerizing cis to trom-cyclooctene via metal complexes has not yet been achieved. tronr-Cyclooctene has been resolved via its platinum(II) complex with the optically active amine l-phenyl-2-amino-propane (am), 7r-CgH]4PtCl2am. 29).
