Ether reaction summary

Identification of the product(s) resulting from the reaction of heterocyclic compounds with diazomethane has been used in attempts to elucidate their tautomeric composition (for summaries, see references 7 and 41). This work was based on the assumption that if a compound which is capable of existing in both an —NH and an —OH form produced only the =NMe derivative when it w as treated with diazomethane, it existed entirely in the =NH form. On the other hand, formation of the —OMe derivative was interpreted to mean that a finite amount of the compound existed in the —OH form. In some cases the tautomer present in the solid state w as concluded to be different from that present in solution for example, 41 42 gave a higher proportion of the 3,4-dimethoxy derivative when ethereal diaz-... 

The reaction mixture is boiled for half an hour under reflux. Thereafter the ether Is removed by distillation, until the inside temperature reaches 65°-70°C. The resulting benzene solution Is added to 95 cc concentrated hydrochloric acid containing ice for further processing. Thereby, 3-piperidino-1-phenyl-1-[A5-bicyclo-(2,2,1)-heptenyl-2]-propanol-1 of the summary formula is obtained. The compound melts at 101°C and its chloro-...

In summary, the direct insertion of zinc dust to organic halides is an excellent method for preparing a broad range of polyfunctional organozinc halides bearing various functional groups like an ester" , an ether, an acetate" , a ketone, cyano", halide" , N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)amino °, primary and secondary amino, amide, phthalimide , sulfide, sulfoxide and sulfone , boronic ester , enone " or a phosphonate . An alternative method is based on transmetalation reactions. 

In summary, we must conclude that in the case of ether-modified systems based on styrene studied to date, there is no direct relationship between the degree of aggregation and kinetic order in polystyryllithium. There is insufficient reliable data available to draw definite conclusions for reactions carried out in pure hydrocarbons a fresh study of the polymerization of o-meth-oxystyrene might shed new light on this situation. 

The electric conductivity was also measured for complexes of taper-shaped mesogens with oligo(ethylene oxide) central groups. The DC conductivity is in a range of 10 9 to 10 6 S cm-1 and shows a step-like increase at the crystal-columnar phase transition [86]. It was also shown that taper-shaped molecules adjacent to different endo-receptors such as crown ethers or oligo(ethylene oxide) chains were miscible with a poly(methacrylate) matrix and formed isomorphic phases [87]. Applications as columnar reaction media for polymerizations were foreseen. Comprehensive summaries of Percec s taper-shaped molecules can be found in the literature [88, 89]. 

In summary, the SMS reaction is a truly efficient process, possessing a broad scope and applicable to a number of carbonyls, allylsilanes, alcohols (silyl ethers) or amines. Its usefulness has been validated in several total syntheses and demonstrated by the preparation of chiral homoallylic alcohols. During the development of the SMS reaction, Melkafia and Marko [48] realized that the homoallylic alcohol (ether), if connected to an allylsilane, would form novel annelating agents that would lead to tetrahydropyran derivatives via condensation with carbonyl compounds. This reaction was called IMSC for intramolecular Sakurai cydization and will be discussed in the next section.

Basically, modification of the dextran backbone by introduction of ether-type moieties leads to comparatively stable dextran derivatives with altered physicochemical properties. A summary of etherification reactions used most frequently for dextran functionalisation is given in Table 11. 

Summary Diethyl ether can be conveniently prepared by distilling a mixture of vodka with sulfuric acid. The reaction takes appreciable amounts of time, ranging from how much vodka you use to begin with, but produces a steady stream of diethyl ether, which distills over during the reaction. After the initial reaction, the recovered diethyl ether is re-distilled for quality and purity. 

Summary Nitroethane is readily prepared by condensing ethyl bromide with sodium nitrite. The ethyl bromide can be made on site by the interaction of ethyl alcohol with potassium or sodium bromide in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid. The ethyl bromide once prepared, can be purified by distillation. Once the reaction between the ethyl bromide and sodium nitrite is complete, the reaction mixture is extracted with ether, the ether removed, and the resulting remaining nitroethane then distilled to recover the purified product.

First, chemoselective (Chapter 24) conjugate addition of the silyl ketene acetal on the enone is preferred to direct aldol reaction with the aldehyde. Then an aldol reaction of the intermediate silyl enol ether on the benzaldehyde follows. The stereoselectivity results, firstly, from attack of benzalde-hyde on the less hindered face of the intermediate silyl enol ether, which sets the two side chains trans on the cyclohexanone, and, secondly, from the intrinsic diastereoselectivity of the aldol reaction (this is treated in some detail in Chapter 34). This is a summary mechanism. 

Summary ADN can be prepared directly form ammonium carbamate by first, reacting the carbamate with nitronium tetrafluoroborate in the presence of acetonitrile to form an intermediate, the free acid of ADN, which need not be isolated. This intermediate is then treated with an alcoholic solution of ammonia in the presence of ether. The ADN, is then recovered by evaporation of the reaction mixture, followed by treatment with a solvent mixture, to remove impurities. The product is recovered by evaporation, and then reciystallized from butanol to form high purity ADN.

Summary Metriol is conveniently prepared by reacting 2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpropane-l,3-diol with 90% nitric acid in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid. The reaction is generally brief, and the resulting mixture is then treated with ice, and allowed to stand. The next day, the mixture is mixed with diethyl ether to dissolve the oily product, and this resulting ether mixture is then washed, dried, and then evaporated to remove the ether and recover the oily product.
