RhCl(P(C3H3)3)2(solv) +H2 Rh(H)2Cl(P(C3H3)3)2(solv) where solvis solvent. An olefin, R, such as cyclohexene, substitutes for the solvent on the dihydride. 

Cyclization of 1,6-enynes3 (cf. 13, 91 14, 299). Cyclization of these enynes catalyzed by palladium or nickel complexes generally leads to five-membered ring products. However, cyclization catalyzed by Wilkinson s catalyst generally leads to methylene-2-cyclohexenes. Substitution on either of the terminal groups suppresses this cyclization, which probably involves insertion of Rh(I) in the C—H bond of the terminal alkyne. 

Annelation. The Pd(0) complex in combination with N(C2H5)3 (1.5-2 equiv.) effects cyclic carbopalladation of substrates such as 1, a cyclohexene substituted by a y-iodoallyl electrophile group and activated by a carbonyl group,... 

Like allylic cations, allylic radicals are stabilized by resonance delocalization. For example, Mechanism 15-2 shows the mechanism of free-radical bromination of cyclohexene. Substitution occurs entirely at the allylic position, where abstraction of a hydrogen gives a resonance-stabilized allylic radical as the intermediate. 

A highly successful route to stereoisomers of substituted 3-cyclohexene-l-carboxylates runs via Ireland-Claisen rearrangements of silyl enolates of oj-vinyl lactones. The rearrangement proceeds stereospeaifically through the only possible boat-like transition state, in which the connecting carbon atoms come close enough (S. Danishefsky, 1980 see also section 4.8.3, M. Nakatsuka, 1990). 

Allylic acetoxy groups can be substituted by amines in the presence of Pd(0) catalysts. At substituted cyclohexene derivatives the diastereoselectivity depends largely on the structure of the palladium catalyst. Polymer-bound palladium often leads to amination at the same face as the aoetoxy leaving group with regioselective attack at the sterically less hindered site of the intermediate ri -allyl complex (B.M. Trost, 1978). 

Diacetoxylation of various conjugated dienes including cyclic dienes has been extensively studied. 1,3-Cyclohexadiene was converted into a mixture of isomeric l,4-diacetoxy-2-cyclohexenes of unknown stereochemistry[303]. The stereoselective Pd-catalyzed 1,4-diacetoxylation of dienes is carried out in AcOH in the presence of LiOAc and /or LiCI and beiizoquinone[304.305]. In the presence of acetate ion and in the absence of chloride ion, /rau.v-diacetox-ylation occurs, whereas addition of a catalytic amount of LiCl changes the stereochemistry to cis addition. The coordination of a chloride ion to Pd makes the cis migration of the acetate from Pd impossible. From 1,3-cyclohexadiene, trans- and ci j-l,4-diacetoxy-2-cyclohexenes (346 and 347) can be prepared stereoselectively. For the 6-substituted 1,3-cycloheptadiene 348, a high diaster-eoselectivity is observed. The stereoselective cij-diacetoxylation of 5-carbo-methoxy-1,3-cyclohexadiene (349) has been applied to the synthesis of dl-shikimic acid (350). 

The wM-diacetate 363 can be transformed into either enantiomer of the 4-substituted 2-cyclohexen-l-ol 364 via the enzymatic hydrolysis. By changing the relative reactivity of the allylic leaving groups (acetate and the more reactive carbonate), either enantiomer of 4-substituted cyclohexenyl acetate is accessible by choice. Then the enantioselective synthesis of (7 )- and (S)-5-substituted 1,3-cyclohexadienes 365 and 367 can be achieved. The Pd(II)-cat-alyzed acetoxylactonization of the diene acids affords the lactones 366 and 368 of different stereochemistry[310]. The tropane alkaloid skeletons 370 and 371 have been constructed based on this chemoselective Pd-catalyzed reactions of 6-benzyloxy-l,3-cycloheptadiene (369)[311]. 

Oxidative dimerization of various 2-benzyloxy-2-thiazoline-5-ones (222) catalyzed by iodine and triethylamine is another example of the nucleophilic reactivity of the C-4 atom (469) (Scheme 112). Treatment of 212 with pyrrolidinocyclohexene yields the amide (223) (Scheme 113). The mechanism given for the formation of 223 is proposed by analogy with the reactivitx of oxazolones with enamines (4701. 4-Substituted 2-phenylthiazol-5(4Hi-ones react with A -morphoiino-l-cyclohexene in a similar manner (562j. Recently. Barret and Walker have studied the Michael addition products... 

In the absence of air or peroxides, only cycHc dimers are formed in the thermal dimerization of isoprene (33). Six cycHc dimers are formed in good yields four substituted cyclohexenes (3—6) and two dimethylcyclooctadienes (7—8). The latter two are, of course, not Diels-Alder dimers. There is some evidence that the isoprene dimerization mechanism differs from the usual Diels-Alder route. 

The photosensitized dimerization of isoprene in the presence of henzil has been investigated. Mixtures of substituted cyclobutanes, cyclohexenes, and cyclooctadienes were formed and identified (53). The reaction is beheved to proceed by formation of a reactive triplet intermediate. The energy for this triplet state presumably is obtained by interaction with the photoexcited henzil species. Under other conditions, photolysis results in the formation of a methylcydobutene (54,55). 

Conversion of 2-cyano-5,5-dimethyl-3-ethoxy-2-cyclohexene (601) into (602) by hydroxylamine has been accomplished (73MI41604). Reduction of the homocyclic ring in the 3-substituted 2,1-benzisoxazole occurred with H2/Pd-C to give the tetrahydro analogs (equation 65) (74JHC395). 

Oxirane on thermolysis or photolysis suffers C—O homolysis to give a plethora of products (Scheme 2). Substituted oxiranes behave similarly on thermolysis although some C—C cleavage is observed (Scheme 3). Cyclopentene and cyclohexene oxides undergo only C—O cleavage (Scheme 4). 

The mechanism of the reaction is unknown. The stereospecificity observed with (E)- and (Z)-l-methyl-2-phenylethylene points to a one-step reaction. The very low Hammett constant, -0.43, determined with phenylethylenes substituted in the benzene ring, excludes polar intermediates. Yields of only a few percent are obtained in the reaction of aliphatic alkenes with (52). In the reaction of cyclohexene with (52), further amination of the aziridine to aminoaziridine (99) is observed. Instead of diphenylazirine, diphenylacetonitrile (100) is formed from diphenylacetylene by NH uptake from (52) and phenyl migration. 

Cycloaddition involves the combination of two molecules in such a way that a new ring is formed. The principles of conservation of orbital symmetry also apply to concerted cycloaddition reactions and to the reverse, concerted fragmentation of one molecule into two or more smaller components (cycloreversion). The most important cycloaddition reaction from the point of view of synthesis is the Diels-Alder reaction. This reaction has been the object of extensive theoretical and mechanistic study, as well as synthetic application. The Diels-Alder reaction is the addition of an alkene to a diene to form a cyclohexene. It is called a [47t + 27c]-cycloaddition reaction because four tc electrons from the diene and the two n electrons from the alkene (which is called the dienophile) are directly involved in the bonding change. For most systems, the reactivity pattern, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity are consistent with describing the reaction as a concerted process. In particular, the reaction is a stereospecific syn (suprafacial) addition with respect to both the alkene and the diene. This stereospecificity has been demonstrated with many substituted dienes and alkenes and also holds for the simplest possible example of the reaction, that of ethylene with butadiene ... 

The alkylation reaction is limited to the use of primary alkyl bromides and alkyl iodides because acetylide ions are sufficiently strong bases to cause dehydrohalogenation instead of substitution when they react with secondary and tertiary alkyl halides. For example, reaction of bromocyclohexane with propyne anion yields the elimination product cyclohexene rather than the substitution product 1-propynylcyclohexane. 

Another method for preparing alkyl halides from alkenes is by reaction with jV-brotnosuccinimide (abbreviated NBS) in the presence of light to give products resulting from substitution of hydrogen by bromine at the allylic position—the position next to the double bond. Cyclohexene, for example, gives 3-bromo-cyclohexene. 

There are three sorts of C-H bonds in cyclohexene, and Table 5.3 gives an estimate of their relative strengths. Although a typical secondary alkyl C-H bond has a strength of about 400 kj/mol (96 kcal/mol) and a typical vinylic C-H bond has a strength of 445 kj/mol (106 kcal/mol), ail allylic C-H bond has a strength of only about 360 kj/mol (87 kcal/mol). An allylic radical is therefore more stable than a typical alkyl radical with the same substitution by about 40 kj/mol (9 kcal/mol). 

Here s an example how might we prove that E2 elimination of an alkyl halide gives the more highly substituted alkene (Zaitsev s rule, Section 11.7) Does reaction of 1-chloro-l-methylcyclohexane with strong base lead predominantly to 1-methyl cyclohexene or to methylenecyclohexane ... 

Perhaps the most striking difference between conjugated and nonconjugated dienes is that conjugated dienes undergo an addition reaction with alkenes to yield substituted cyclohexene products. For example, 1,3-butadiene and 3-buten-2-one give 3-cycIohexenyl methyl ketone. 

One of the most useful features of the Diels-Alder reaction is that it isstaeo-specific, meaning that a single product stereoisomer is formed. Furthermore, the stereochemistry of the reactant is maintained. If we carry out the cycloaddition with a cis dienophile, such as methyl ds-2-butenoate, only the cis-substituted cyclohexene product is formed. With methyl tmtts-2-butenoate, only thetrans-substituted cyclohexene product is formed. 

Although benzene is clearly unsaturatcd, it is much more stable than typical alkenes and fails to undergo the usual alkene reactions. Cyclohexene, for instance, reacts rapidly with Br2 and gives the addition product 1,2-dibromo-cyclohexane, but benzene reacts only slowly with Br2 and gives the substitution product CgH Br. As a result of this substitution, the cyclic conjugation of the benzene ring is retained. 

NOL-based systems for addition of (substituted) anilines to meso epoxides. Hou found that a ytterbium-BI NO L complex catalyzed desymmetrization of cyclohexene oxide in up to 80% ee [15], Shibasaki demonstrated that a praseodymium-BINOL complex could promote addition of p-anisidine to several epoxides in moderate yields with modest enantioselectivities (Scheme 7.7) [16]. 

Symmetric allylsilanes and unsymmetric allylsilanes, in which the silyl substituent is at the less substituted end of the allyl fragment, are available from allyl halides and trimethylsilylmetal reagents13. 2-Chloro-l-cyclohexenes react with inversion of configuration and a 1,3-shift, with better results in the presence of coppcr(l) iodide14.
