Diene bonding

Dienes bonded to silicones to give products stable to hydrolysis are available in a wide variety of combinations, from the distillable l,3-bis(isoprenyl)-l,l,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane to high polymers with dozens of diene groups attached [23], Diels-Alder cycloadditions may be performed with dieno-philes. Maleic anhydride adds almost quantitatively to the conjugated diene system, giving easy access to a siloxane species of considerable industrial importance [24]. 

Combustion of transition metal organometallic compounds produces a mixtures of simple compounds (metal oxides, carbon oxides, water, nitrogen) which is subject to exact analysis. Thermal decomposition or high temperature iodination of the same compounds cannot necessarily be expected to produce simple materials, with the result that identification is often a difficult problem. This is typified by diene derivatives of iron carbonyl10, where side reactions of the dienes (e.g. polymerization) follow disruption of the iron-diene bonds. The oligomeric mixture can be parti-...

In general, conjugated dienes bonded to an iron tricarbonyl residue give a much more stable system than do nonconjugated dienes. For example,... 

There have been reports of syntheses of cyano complexes in fused potassium cyanide, though the characterization of the products has not always been satisfactory.1 The dry reaction between potassium cyanide and potassium hexaiodoplatinate(IV), however, certainly gives the impure hexacyano-platinate(IV) and substitution of cycloocta-1,5-diene bonded to platinum(II) may be achieved by the use of solid potassium cyanide in the presence of a crown ether catalyst.16... 

Pumice-supported Pd showed similar selectivity (100% up to complete conversion) which is due to the very low hydrogenation rate of the intermediate cyclooctene284. The activity was invariant up to 35% dispersion, then decreased slowly, which is explained by the increasing electron density of Pd brought about by Na+ and K+ ions present in the support. The decrease in both activity and selectivity is anticipated when Pd is alloyed with Pt, a nonselective metal285. The substantial decrease in activity of Pd-Pt-pumice catalysts (TOF values are 90 s 1 for Pd-pumice and 12 s 1 for Pd-Pt-pumice) was attributed to the reduced amount of Pdr units necessary for the surface reaction and the very strong Pt-diene bond. 

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin its main function is the maintenance of normal plasma levels of calcium and phosphorus (Zittermann, 2003). Vitamin D3 is synthesized in the skin from 7-dehydrocholesterol on exposure to sunlight (290-315 nm) (Fig. 30-2). The UV light causes a rearrangement of the 5,7 diene bonds in the B ring of 7-dehydrocholesterol, resulting in a break in the B ring to form previtamin D3. 

C7H7)Fe.,(CO)6]+, obtained by reaction of the cycloheptatriene complex with trityl tetrafluoroborate, shows in solution a rapid valence tautomerisrn involving diene bonding to an iron atom and Tr-allylic bonding to the other. 

The scandium diene complex reacts with PhCN via initial nitrile insertion into the Sc-diene bond to give a dimeric r/2-imido species, but with a 2,2 -bipyridine under elimination of the free diene (Scheme 71). The latter reaction... 

The issue of the concertedness of the D-A reaction has been studied and debated extensively. It has been argued that there might be an intermediate that is diradical in character. D-A reactions are almost always stereospecific, which implies that if an intermediate exists, it cannot have a lifetime sufficient to permit rotation or inversion. The prevailing opinion is that the majority of D-A reactions are concerted reactions and most theoretical analyses agree with this view. ° It is recognized that in reactions between unsymmetrical alkenes and dienes, bond formation might be more advanced at one pair of termini than at the other. This is deseribed as being an asynchronous... 

The only contributions to the absorption maximum in Example 5.4 are the exocyclic double bond (the diene bond on the right at the bottom of the ring containing the two double bonds) and the alkyl substituents. These two compounds can readily be distinguished by a simple UV absorption spectrum because of the large difference in... 

The groups capable of polymerization may be of different types, namely, vinyl, allyl, styryl, diene, allenic, acetylenic, acrylic, alkoxide, etc. Also, different rings bonded with metal such as epoxy, ethyleneimine, and others may be used. It goes without saying that multiple bond can be present not only as double bonds but also as triple, allene, diene bonds as well as their combinations. The correlation between the electronic structure and the... 

Cope rearrangements of 2,6-disubstituted bicyclo[5,l,0]octa-2,5-dienes have been studied to determine the extent of bond making and bond breaking at the transition state. The interpretation of the results was complicated by the enforced boat-transition state, but comparison with polycyclic systems supports the hypothesis that, unlike Cope rearrangements in acyclic dienes, bond cleavage is at least synchronous with bond formation. ... 

The CO release from zerovalent [Fe(CO)3L2] and [Mo(CO)sL] complexes, studied by the groups of I. Fairlamb and J. Lyman since 2006 (Figure 6.8), is triggered by oxidative decarbonylation with O2, but is normally preceded by loss or modification of the ancillary hgands. The pyrone rings stabilized Fe(CO)s fragments, and led to the first CORM candidates reported after the early CORMs. The variation of the X substituents on the diene modulates the lability of the Fe-diene bonds and tunes the CO release rate. Recently, substituted...
