Esters - vinyl ethers. The original publication (8, 83-84) mentioned that ethyl cetntc reacts with 1 to give ethyl isopropcnyl ether. More recent work1 has shown thul ihis conversion of esters to vinyl ethers is general and proceeds in high yields. The read ion rate is dramatically increased by the presence of donor ligands (THF, ( lhN). The solvent is benzene or toluene. Retone methylenation is possible, and Medially I lie rate is four limes Ihat of ester methylenation. Isolated yields are cited in Ihc examples. 

It will be seen that whereas iodine leads to 1 2 tetra- and di-basie esters, methylene, ethylene, etc., iodides yield respectively 1 3, 1 4, etc., esters. The yields in these ring syntheses, as in most others, vary in agreement with Baeyer s Strain Theory. ... 

The more we examined the racemization of 9 and 10 b, the more interesting aspects emerged. When 10 b was stirred under the resolution conditions (excluding lipase) for 66 h in a system where 97-98% of all acidic protons were composed of deuterium, the ee of the isolated 10b was 77.0% (23% racemization) and the side-chairi s a-ester methylene carbon was 14% deuterated (by JHNMR). As this is opposite to that intuitively expected, it may be that the racemization mechanism is assisted by an unusual ex-...

The spectrum of the TRIEGMA monomer shows the following resonances the methyl substituents at 18 ppm, ester methylene groups at 64 ppm, ether methylene groups at 69 and 71 ppm, olefinic carbon atoms at 126 and 137 ppm (terminal carbon atom), and carboxyl carbon atoms at 168 ppm.

CH OfiSj, H2C(S03H)2- a colourless, crystalline solid which readily absorbs water vapour decomposes on distillation. The potassium salt is prepared by heating methylene chloride with an aqueous solution of potassium sulphite under pressure at 150-I60" C. The free acid is obtained by decomposing the sparingly soluble barium salt with sulphuric acid. The aryl esters are very stable, but the alkyl esters decompose on heating to give ethers. Resembles malonic acid in some of its reactions. 

The addition of active methylene compounds (ethyl malonate, ethyl aoeto-acetate, ethyl plienylacetate, nltromethane, acrylonitrile, etc.) to the aP-double bond of a conjugated unsaturated ketone, ester or nitrile In the presence of a basic catalyst (sodium ethoxide, piperidine, diethylamiiie, etc.) is known as the Michael reaction or Michael addition. The reaction may be illustrated by the addition of ethyl malonate to ethyl fumarate in the presence of sodium ethoxide hydrolysis and decarboxylation of the addendum (ethyl propane-1 1 2 3-tetracarboxylate) yields trlcarballylic acid ... 

The Tebbe reaction, which converts the oxo groups of esters and lactones to methylene groups to give enol ethers, is described in section 2.1.2. 

There are, however, two useful alkylating-redudng methods. One is the methylenation of the ester carbonyl group with Tebbe s reagent, the other is the conversion of thionolactones to cyclic thioketals and subsequent reduction. 

A similar intramolecular oxidation, but for the methyl groups C-18 and C-19 was introduced by D.H.R. Barton (1979). Axial hydroxyl groups are converted to esters of nitrous or hypochlorous acid and irradiated. Oxyl radicals are liberated and selectively attack the neighboring axial methyl groups. Reactions of the methylene radicals formed with nitrosyl or chlorine radicals yield oximes or chlorides. 

Alkyl- and arylmercury(II) halides are used for the ketone formation[402]. When active methylene compounds. such as /f-keto esters or malonates are used instead of alcohols, acylated / -keto esters and malonates 546 are produced, For this reaction, dppf is a good ligand[403]. The intramolecular version of the reaction proceeds by trapping the acylpalladium intermediate with eno-late to give five- and six-membered rings smoothly. Formation of 547 by intramolecular trapping with malonate is an example[404]. 

The acylpalladium complex formed from acyl halides undergoes intramolecular alkene insertion. 2,5-Hexadienoyl chloride (894) is converted into phenol in its attempted Rosenmund reduction[759]. The reaction is explained by the oxidative addition, intramolecular alkene insertion to generate 895, and / -elimination. Chloroformate will be a useful compound for the preparation of a, /3-unsaturated esters if its oxidative addition and alkene insertion are possible. An intramolecular version is known, namely homoallylic chloroformates are converted into a-methylene-7-butyrolactones in moderate yields[760]. As another example, the homoallylic chloroformamide 896 is converted into the q-methylene- -butyrolactams 897 and 898[761]. An intermolecular version of alkene insertion into acyl chlorides is known only with bridgehead acid chlorides. Adamantanecarbonyl chloride (899) reacts with acrylonitrile to give the unsaturated ketone 900[762],... 

Application of 7r-allylpalladium chemistry to organic synthesis has made remarkable progress[l]. As deseribed in Chapter 3, Seetion 3, Tt-allylpalladium complexes react with soft carbon nucleophiles such as maionates, /3-keto esters, and enamines in DMSO to form earbon-carbon bonds[2, 3], The characteristie feature of this reaction is that whereas organometallic reagents are eonsidered to be nucleophilic and react with electrophiles, typieally earbonyl eompounds, Tt-allylpalladium complexes are electrophilie and reaet with nucleophiles such as active methylene compounds, and Pd(0) is formed after the reaction. 

Active methylene or methine compounds, to which two EWGs such as carbonyl, alko.xycarbonyl, formyl, cyano, nitro, and sulfonyl groups are attached, react with butadiene smoothly and their acidic hydrogens are displaced with the 2,7-octadienyl group to give mono- and disubstituted compounds[59]. 3-Substituted 1,7-octadienes are obtained as minor products. The reaction is earned out with a /3-keto ester, /9-diketone, malonate, Q-formyl ketones, a-cyano and Q-nitro esters, cya noacetamide, and phenylsulfonylacetate. Di(octadienyl)malonate (61) obtained by this reaction is converted into an... 

The reason for this relative lack of reactivity of 2-methylthiazoIium is probably due to the too-weak nucleophilic character of its carbon-2. For example, any /S-alkoxyalcene (29) derivatives resulting from the condensation of o-ester could never have been isolated, whereas they constitute the essential intermediate step in trimethine syntheses for rings of acidic character (64). However, even if a negative 5-substituent such as ethoxy-carbonyl increases the yield (61) by promoting independently the possible formation of the methylene base, it may be stressed that the presence of this base is not the essential condition of the reaction, since the isolated anhydrobase itself is not reactive toward the o-ester (Scheme 41).
