4- diphenylethylene

The oxidative coupling of alkenes which have two substituents at the 2 posi-tion, such as isobutylene, styrene, 2-phenylpropene, 1,1-diphenylethylene, and methyl methacrylate, takes place to give the 1,1,4.4-tetrasubstituted butadienes 285 by the action of Pd(OAc)2 or PdCF in the presence of sodium acetate[255-257]. Oxidation of styrene with Pd(OAc)2 produces 1.4-diphenylbutadiene (285, R = H) as a main product and a- and /3-acetoxystyrenes as minor pro-ducts[258]. Prolonged oxidation of the primary coupling product 285 (R = Me) of 2-phenylpropene with an excess of Pd(OAc)2 leads slowly to p-... 

Eulvene, for methylenecyclopentadiene, and stilbene, for 1,2-diphenylethylene, are trivial names that are retained. 

DiphenyhnethyUithium [881-42-5] can be prepared by the metalation reaction of butyUithium with diphenyknethane in addition, the adduct of butyUithium and 1,1-diphenylethylene is convenientiy prepared in either hydrocarbon or polar solvents such as THF as shown in equation 18. 

This reaction can also be utili2ed to prepare functionali2ed initiators by reaction of butyUithium with a substituted 1,1-diphenylethylene derivative. For example, polymers end functionali2ed with primary amine, tertiary amine, phenol, and bis(phenol) groups have been prepared in essentiaUy quantitative yield by using the reaction of butyUithium with the corresponding substituted (or protected) 1,1-diphenylethylene (87). 

Scintillation detectors are substances which fluoresce when stmck by x-radiation. Scintillation can, therefore, serve to convert x-ray photons into visible or ultraviolet light. Scintillation materials include thaUium-activatedcrystals of sodium iodide, NaI(Tl), potassium iodide, KI(T1), or cesium iodide, CsI(Tl) crystals of stilbene (a, P-diphenylethylene) [588-59-0] and anthracene [120-12-7] bismuth germanium oxide [12233-56-6] ... 

In this case the ylide was not isolated but allowed to react with ben2ophenone to give, after hydrolysis with hydrochloric acid, 1,1-diphenylethylene, diphenylacetaldehyde, and triphenylarsine (160). An excellent method for preparing arsonium ylides involves the reaction between a stable dia2o compound and triphenylarsine in the presence of a copper catalyst such as bis(acetylacetonato)copper(II) (161). Rather than a dia2o compound, an iodonium yhde can be used again a copper catalyst is necessary for an optimum yield of product. An example of the use of a dia2o compound is shown in the formulation of triphenyl arsonium 2,3,4-triphenylcyclopentadienyLide [29629-32-17, C H As ... 

Several alkenes are converted to aziridines by treating with oxaziridine (52) at elevated temperatures. Styrene, a-methylstyrene and their derivatives substituted in the benzene ring react smoothly, and so do 1,1-diphenylethylene, indene and acrylonitrile (74KGS1629). 

Due to the high reactivity of sulfonium ylide 2 for a,P-unsaturated ketone substrates, it normally undergoes methylene transfer to the carbonyl to give the corresponding epoxides. However, cyclopropanation did take place when 1,1-diphenylethylene and ethyl cinnamate were treated with 2 to furnish cyclopropanes 53 and 54, respectively. 

A mixture of 20 g of 1. [p.((3.diethylaminoethoxy)phenyl]-1,2-diphenylethanol in 200 cc of ethanol containing an excess of hydrogen chloride was refluxed 3 hours. The solvent and excess hydrogen chloride were removed under vacuum, and the residue was dissolved in a mixture of ethyl acetate and methylene chloride. 1-[p-((3.diethylaminoethoxv)phenyl] -1,2-diphenylethylene hydrochloride was obtained, melting at 148° to 157°C. This hydrochloride salt was treated with N-chlorosuccinimide in dry chloroform under reflux. The product then obtained was converted to the free base and treated with citric acid. The dihydrogen citrate salt of 1-[p-((3-diethylaminoethoxy)phenyl]-1,2-diphenylchloroethylene was obtained, melting at 116.5° to 118°C. 

The necessary vicinal dihalides are themselves readily available by addition of Br2 or Cl2 to alkenes. Thus, the overall halogenation/dehvdrohalogenation sequence makes it possible to go from an alkene to an alkyne. for example, diphenylethylene is converted into diphenylacetylene by reaction with Br2 and subsequent base treatment. 

Anti periplanar elimination of HBr gives (Z)-l-bromo-l,2-diphenylethylene.
