Ethyl monosubstitution

The correct name is 3-ethyl-2-methylpentane (disub stituted chain) rather than 3 isopropylpentane (monosubstituted chain)... 

V-Alkylation can also be carried out with the appropriate alkyl haUde or alkyl sulfate. Reaction of aniline with ethylene, in the presence of metallic sodium supported on an inert carrier such as carbon or alumina, at high temperature and pressure yields V/-ethyl- or /V,/V-diethylaniline (11). At pressures below 10 MPa (100 atm), the monosubstituted product predominates. 

Buu-Hoi has shown that n-alkyl methyl ketones excluding ethyl methyl ketone, yield primarily 2-monosubstituted cinchoninic acids. It has been demonstrated that the products of the condensation of isatin with aryloxyketones are the corresponding 3-aryloxy-4-quinoline carboxylic acids rather than the isomeric 2-aryloxymethylcinchoninic acids.In the case of simple a-alkoxyketones such as 1-alkoxyethyl methylketones, the preferred products are the 2-alkoxyalkylcinchoninic... 

This activation of the ortho position is most strikingly illustrated in the reactivity of 2,5-dimethylthiophene, which competitive experiments have shown to undergo the SnCb-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction more rapidly than thiophene and even 2-methylthiophene. The influence of the reagent on the isomer distribution is evident from the fact that 2-methoxythiophene is formylated and bromi-nated (with A -bromosuccinimide) only in the 5-position. Similarly, although 3-bromo-2-methylthiophene has been detected in the bromi-nation of 2-methylthiophene with bromine, only the 5-isomer (besides some side-chain bromination) is obtained in the bromination of alkylthiophenes with A -bromosuccinimide. ° However, the mechanism of the latter type of bromination is not established. No lines attributable to 2-methyl-3-thiocyanothiophene or 2-methyl-3-chIoro-thiophene could be detected in the NMR spectra of the substitution products (5-isomers) obtained upon thiocyanation with thiocyanogen or chlorination with sulfuryl chloride. 2-Methyl- and 2-ethyl-thiophene give, somewhat unexpectedly, upon alkylation with t-butyl chloride in the presence of Feds, only 5-t-butyl monosubstituted and... 

Alk = Et), a-methylstyrene (156, Ar = Ph), and allyl-benzene (160, Ar = Ph) are representatives of the four types of monosubstituted propenes (olefins 157 and 158, etc. written in Table I as equilibrium pairs undergo equilibration during the course of the reaction and yield the same pyrylium salt on diacylation). Disubstituted propenes which gave pyrylium salts on diacylation are 2-pentene (163, Alk = Me) and 1,2-diphenylpropene (164, Ar = ph),305 3-ethyl-2-pentene represents a trisubstituted propene... 

The ready access to compound 204 also provided efficient routes to additional monosubstituted indolo[3,2-()]carba2oles, as reaction with ethyl oxalyl chloride... 

The reaction of diacetylene or its monosubstituted homologs with guanidine in the presence of an equimolar amount of sodium ethylate (80°C, EtOH, 14 h) leads to 2-amino-4-alkylpyrimidines (33) (70ZOR1347 71ZOR14). Their structures were proved by comparison of their properties (as well as those of their picrates) with those of authentic samples obtained by independent synthesis. 

Further investigation of the action of sodium ethylate on isoxazole showed that under the same conditions the ring of isoxazole itself is cleaved as well as that of 4- and 5-monosubstituted and 4,5-disub-stituted isoxazoles, that is to say, in all isoxazoles unsubstituted at the 3-position, i.e. 107— 108. 

When the nucleophile is a stabilized carbanion such as the enolate of acetylacetone, 1-benzoylacetophenone, diethylmalonate, or ethyl acetatoacetone, the reaction proceeds similarly. The monosubstituted complex is isolated as long as it contains an acidic hydrogen in the benzylic position. In addition, for the case of diketones CH2(COR)2 (R = Me, Ph, OEt), a deacetylation is observed in an acidic medium [92,93]. These features are the same as described above in the case of the substitution of Cl by stabilized carbanions in monochloroaromatics (the second chlorine being an inert arene substituent [99] Scheme XVII, Eq. (31) and Tables 10 and 11. 

Syntheses of fluoro-substituted pyrazoles continue to be of interest. Both 3- and 5-fluoropyrazoles (44 and 45, respectively) can be prepared from 43 <96JOC2763>. Treatment of 43 with hydrazine followed by N-alkylation provides 44, whereas reactions with monosubstituted hydrazines afford 45. The 4-(trifluoromcthyl)pyrazoles 47 are obtained from J-trifluoromethyl vinamidinium salt 46 <96TL1829>. The 5-trifluoromethyl-3-carboethoxypyrazoles 49 are obtained from the 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of trifluoromethyl alkenes 48 with ethyl diazoacetate <96T4383>. 

As for cyclopropanation of alkenes with aryldiazomethanes, there seems to be only one report of a successful reaction with a group 9 transition metal catalyst Rh2(OAc)4 promotes phenylcyclopropane formation with phenyldiazomethane, but satisfactory yields are obtained only with vinyl ethers 4S) (Scheme 2). Cis- and trans-stilbene as well as benzalazine represent by-products of these reactions, and Rh2(OAc)4 has to be used in an unusually high concentration because the azine inhibits its catalytic activity. With most monosubstituted alkenes of Scheme 2, a preference for the Z-cyclopropane is observed similarly, -selectivity in cyclopropanation of cyclopentene is found. These selectivities are the exact opposite to those obtained in reactions of ethyl diazoacetate with the same olefins 45). Furthermore, they are temperature-dependent for example, the cisjtrcms ratio for l-ethoxy-2-phenylcyclopropane increases with decreasing temperature. 

Only a few results are available concerning competitive cyclopropanation of non-conjugated dienes. The case of 1,4-hexadiene72 (mixture of Z and E isomers) illustrates the reactivity difference between a monosubstituted and a 1,2-disubstituted double bond, whereas in limonene (24)47, a 1,1-disubstituted and a trisubstituted double bond compete for the carbenoid derived from ethyl diazoacetate. In both cases, the less substituted double bond reacts preferentially (Scheme 8). 

Palladium(II) acetate was found to be a good catalyst for such cyclopropanations with ethyl diazoacetate (Scheme 19) by analogy with the same transformation using diazomethane (see Sect. 2.1). The best yields were obtained with monosubstituted alkenes such as acrylic esters and methyl vinyl ketone (64-85 %), whereas they dropped to 10-30% for a,p-unsaturated carbonyl compounds bearing alkyl groups in a- or p-position such as ethyl crotonate, isophorone and methyl methacrylate 141). In none of these reactions was formation of carbene dimers observed. 7>ms-benzalaceto-phenone was cyclopropanated stereospecifically in about 50% yield PdCl2 and palladium(II) acetylacetonate were less efficient catalysts 34 >. Diazoketones may be used instead of diazoesters, as the cyclopropanation of acrylonitrile by diazoacenaph-thenone/Pd(OAc)2 (75 % yield) shows142). 

Monosubstituted Alkenes. Simple unbranched terminal alkenes that have only alkyl substituents, such as 1-hexene,2031-octene,209 or ally Icy clohexane230 do not undergo reduction in the presence of organosilicon hydrides and strong acids, even under extreme conditions.1,2 For example, when 1-hexene is heated in a sealed ampoule at 140° for 10 hours with triethylsilane and excess trifluoroacetic acid, only a trace of hexane is detected.203 A somewhat surprising exception to this pattern is the formation of ethylcyclohexane in 20% yield upon treatment of vinylcyclohexane with trifluoroacetic acid and triethylsilane.230 Protonation of the terminal carbon is thought to initiate a 1,2-hydride shift that leads to the formation of the tertiary 1-ethyl-1-cyclohexyl cation.230... 

The synthesis and antibacterial properties of norfloxacin (2a) were described in 1980 [65]. In this key paper in the evolution of quinolone antibacterial agents, a series of 6,7,8-polysubstituted-l-ethyl-l,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carb-oxylic acids (13) was synthesized, employing previously developed quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) for the corresponding 6-, 7- and 8-monosubstituted derivatives versus Escherichia coli. The QSAR analysis... 

Scheme 6.86 displays the generation of 417 from the cephalosporin triflate 416 and the formulas of the trapping products with ethylene, monosubstituted ethyl-enes, 1,1-disubstituted ethylenes and 1,1-dimethylallene [155], It was shown for two such reaction partners (styrene and phenyl vinyl thioether) that the exchange of the... 

For the addition of ethylene, EtOAc as solvent was particularly advantageous and gave 418 in 60% yield (Scheme 6.86). The monosubstituted ethylenes 1-hexene, vinylcyclohexane, allyltrimethylsilane, allyl alcohol, ethyl vinyl ether, vinyl acetate and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone furnished [2 + 2]-cycloadducts of the type 419 in yields of 54—100%. Mixtures of [2 + 2]-cycloadducts of the types 419 and 420 were formed with vinylcyclopropane, styrene and derivatives substituted at the phenyl group, acrylonitrile, methyl acrylate and phenyl vinyl thioether (yields of 56-76%), in which the diastereomers 419 predominated up to a ratio of 2.5 1 except in the case of the styrenes, where this ratio was 1 1. The Hammett p value for the addition of the styrenes to 417 turned out to be -0.54, suggesting that there is little charge separation in the transition state [155]. In the case of 6, the p value was determined as +0.79 (see Section 6.3.1) and indicates a slight polarization in the opposite direction. This astounding variety of substrates for 417 is contrasted by only a few monosubstituted ethylenes whose addition products with 417 could not be observed or were formed in only small amounts phenyl vinyl ether, vinyl bromide, (perfluorobutyl)-ethylene, phenyl vinyl sulfoxide and sulfone, methyl vinyl ketone and the vinylpyri-dines. 

Levy prepared monosubstituted aminomethylenemalonates (356) in the reactions of diethoxycarbonylglutaconate (8, R = H) and aminoester hydrochlorides in the presence of sodium ethylate in boiling ethanol (14JCS27). 

Reactions of various l-(l,2-propadienyl)cyclopropanols having a substituent at the 1- or 3-position of the propadienyl moiety 55 proceed smoothly at between 0°C and room temperature with 1.1 mole amounts of Co2(CO)8 in either THF or ethyl acetate, and various 2-monosubstituted or 2,3-disubstituted 1,4-hydro-quinone derivatives 58 are obtained in good yields (Scheme 25). In particular, 1-(1,2-propadienyI)cycIopropanoI having the ferf-butyldimethylsilyl group at the 1-position of the 1,2-prop adienyl moiety gives a high yield of the silylated hydroquinone. 

Yamamoto had earlier reported that Lewis acid activation of valine-derived oxazaborolidine 60 yielded a highly reactive and moisture-tolerant LLA catalyst 61 for the Diels-Alder reaction (Scheme 5.76) [145]. In later studies, activation of 60 with the super Bronsted acid, C,sF5CHTf2, was found to produce the even more reactive catalytic species BLA 62. During studies toward an enantioselective route to Platensimycin [146], BLA 62 was found to catalyze the Diels-Alder reaction between various monosubstituted dienes and ethyl acrylate to afford adducts... 

V-Methyl-2-methyl-3-(benzotriazol-l-yl)propanamide (631), on treatment with two equivalents of butyllithium, forms a dianion that reacts with alkyl and benzyl halides, aldehydes, and ketones to give monosubstituted products (632) (Scheme 124). With ethyl / -toluate, however, a lactam (634) is formed. The alkylated derivatives (632) eliminate benzotriazole upon treatment with NaOEt to afford trisubstituted a,)8-unsaturated amides (633) <93JHC1261>.
