Electrophilic addition 1,3-dipolar

The most common method of epoxidation is the reaction of olefins with per-acids. For over twenty years, perbenzoic acid and monoperphthalic acid have been the most frequently used reagents. Recently, m-chloroperbenzoic acid has proved to be an equally efficient reagent which is commercially available (Aldrich Chemicals). The general electrophilic addition mechanism of the peracid-olefin reaction is currently believed to involve either an intra-molecularly bonded spiro species (1) or a 1,3-dipolar adduct of a carbonyl oxide, cf. (2). The electrophilic addition reaction is sensitive to steric effects. 

Perhaps the most characteristic property of the carbon-carbon double bond is its ability readily to undergo addition reactions with a wide range of reagent types. It will be useful to consider addition reactions in terms of several categories (a) electrophilic additions (b) nucleophilic additions (c) radical additions (d) carbene additions (e) Diels-Alder cycloadditions and (f) 1,3-dipolar additions. 

Ionic reactions of neutral substrates can show large solvent dependence, due to the differential solvent stabilization of the ionic intermediates and their associated dipolar transition states (Reichardt, 1988). This is the case for the electrophilic addition of bromine to alkenes (Ruasse, 1990, 1992 Ruasse et al., 1991) and the bromination of phenol (Tee and Bennett, 1988a), both of which have Grunwald-Winstein m values approximately equal to 1 so that the reactions are very much slower in media less polar than water. Such processes, therefore, would be expected to be retarded or even inhibited by CDs for two reasons (a) the formation of complexes with the CD lowers the free concentrations of the reactants and (b) slower reaction within the microenvironment of the less polar CD cavity (if it were sterically possible).

In behaviour that is typical of a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction, OSO4 reacts almost as well with electron-poor as with electron-rich alkenes. OSO4 simply chooses to attack the alk-ene HOMO or its LUMO, depending on which gives the best interaction. This is quite different from the electrophilic addition of m-CPBA or Br2 to alkenes.

In contrast with the behaviour of typical vinylphosphonic acid derivatives, the carbon-carbon double bond in the 1,2-oxa-phospholene (167) is remarkably unreactive towards a broad spectrum of reagents including electrophiles, most epoxidizing and organometallic reagents, as well as to dipolar addition reactants. Exceptional reagents are, however, N-bromoacetamide (NBA), ozone, dimethyllithiumcuprate, and sodium-naphthalene. 

Reactions of salts of 1,2,3-triazole with electrophiles provide an easy access to 1,2,3-triazol-jV-yl derivatives although, usually mixtures of N-l and N-2 substituted triazoles are obtained that have to be separated (see Section 5.01.5). Another simple method for synthesis of such derivatives is addition of 1,2,3-triazole to carbon-carbon multiple bonds (Section 5.01.5). N-l Substituted 1,2,3-triazoles can be selectively prepared by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of acetylene or (trimethylsilyl)acetylene to alkyl or aryl azides (Section 5.01.9). 

Since then, optically active a-aminophosphonates have been obtained by a variety of methods including resolution, asymmetric phosphite additions to imine double bonds and sugar-based nitrones, condensation of optically active ureas with phosphites and aldehydes, catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation, and 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. These approaches have been discussed in a comprehensive review by Dhawan and Redmore.9 More recent protocols involve electrophilic amination of homochiral dioxane acetals,10 alkylation of homochiral imines derived from pinanone11 and ketopinic acid,12 and alkylation of homochiral, bicyclic phosphonamides.13... 

Accordingly, many reactions can be performed on the sidewalls of the CNTs, such as halogenation, hydrogenation, radical, electrophilic and nucleophilic additions, and so on [25, 37, 39, 42-44]. Exhaustively explored examples are the nitrene cycloaddition, the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction (with azomethinylides), radical additions using diazonium salts or radical addition of aromatic/phenyl primary amines. The aryl diazonium reduction can be performed by electrochemical means by forming a phenyl radical (by the extrusion of N2) that couples to a double bond [44]. Similarly, electrochemical oxidation of aromatic or aliphatic primary amines yields an amine radical that can be added to the double bond on the carbon surface. The direct covalent attachment of functional moieties to the sidewalls strongly enhances the solubility of the nanotubes in solvents and can also be tailored for different...
