4-Ethyl-2-octene

Polymers containing 18 have been used successfully as metathesis catalysts. For example, a copolymer of with styrene (31 mol percent was treated with isobutyl aluminum chloride and oxygen in hexane and trans-3-heptane. This gave an active metathesis system at 20°C which produced trans-4-octene, trans-3-hexene, and other products (one identified as 4-ethyl-2-octene). Thus, this polymer species appears to behave similar to polystyrene-bound Ti -cyclopentadienyltricarbonylbenzyltungsten as a metathesis... 

Under CO pressure in alcohol, the reaction of alkenes and CCI4 proceeds to give branched esters. No carbonylation of CCI4 itself to give triichloroacetate under similar conditions is observed. The ester formation is e.xplained by a free radical mechanism. The carbonylation of l-octene and CCI4 in ethanol affords ethyl 2-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)decanoate (924) as a main product and the simple addition product 925(774]. ... 

Unsaturated Hydrocarbons. Olefins from ethylene through octene have been converted into esters via acid-catalyzed nucleophilic addition. With ethylene and propjiene, only a single ester is produced using acetic acid, ethyl acetate and isopropyl acetate, respectively. With the butylenes, two products are possible j -butyl esters result from 1- and 2-butylenes, whereas tert-huty esters are obtained from isobutjiene. The C5 olefins give rise to three j iC-amyl esters and one /-amyl ester. As the carbon chain is lengthened, the reactivity of the olefin with organic acids increases. 

In order to improve the physical properties of HDPE and LDPE, copolymers of ethylene and small amounts of other monomers such as higher olefins, ethyl acrylate, maleic anhydride, vinyl acetate, or acryUc acid are added to the polyethylene. Eor example, linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), although linear, has a significant number of branches introduced by using comonomers such as 1-butene or 1-octene. The linearity provides strength, whereas branching provides toughness.

The preparation of N-carbethoxy-8-azabicyclo [5.1.0] oct-3-ene (158) from ethyl azidoformate (157) and 1,4-cycloheptadiene through a photolytic reaction, and its palladium(II)-catalyzed multistep rearrangement to N-carbethoxynortropidine (159), has been presented by Wiger and Retting as a new route to the 8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octene skeleton (87) (Scheme 8). 

We can incorporate short chain branches into polymers by copolymerizing two or more comonomers. When we apply this method to addition copolymers, the branch is derived from a monomer that contains a terminal vinyl group that can be incorporated into the growing chain. The most common family of this type is the linear low density polyethylenes, which incorporate 1-butene, 1-hexene, or 1-octene to yield ethyl, butyl, or hexyl branches, respectively. Other common examples include ethylene-vinyl acetate and ethylene-acrylic acid copolymers. Figure 5.10 shows examples of these branches. 

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 results of the olefin oxidation catalyzed by 19, 57, and 59-62 are summarized in Tables VI-VIII. Table VI shows that linear terminal olefins are selectively oxidized to 2-ketones, whereas cyclic olefins (cyclohexene and norbomene) are selectively oxidized to epoxides. Cyclopentene shows exceptional behavior, it is oxidized exclusively to cyclopentanone without any production of epoxypentane. This exception would be brought about by the more restrained and planar pen-tene ring, compared with other larger cyclic nonplanar olefins in Table VI, but the exact reason is not yet known. Linear inner olefin, 2-octene, is oxidized to both 2- and 3-octanones. 2-Methyl-2-butene is oxidized to 3-methyl-2-butanone, while ethyl vinyl ether is oxidized to acetaldehyde and ethyl alcohol. These products were identified by NMR, but could not be quantitatively determined because of the existence of overlapping small peaks in the GC chart. The last reaction corresponds to oxidative hydrolysis of ethyl vinyl ether. Those olefins having bulky (a-methylstyrene, j8-methylstyrene, and allylbenzene) or electon-withdrawing substituents (1-bromo-l-propene, 1-chloro-l-pro-pene, fumalonitrile, acrylonitrile, and methylacrylate) are not oxidized. 

However, morpholine-4-carboxylic acid 2-hydroxy-1-methyl-ethyl ester is formed by the reaction of PC and the substrate morpholine in an undesired side reaction. By use of 1.4-dioxane or the pyrrolidones as mediator s3 about 30 to 45% of the morphoUne is consumed by this side reaction. The by-product is contained in the PC phase and can not be extracted to the non-polar product phase. The selectivity to the desired amines is lowered, because of the consiunption of the morphoUne. Thus, PC has to be substituted by another polar solvent (e.g. water, methanol or ethylene glycol) in future experiments. The lactates react with the morphoUne, too resulting in the corresponding amide. Overall, the hydroaminomethylation in the TMS systems PC/dodecane/lactate results in a conversion of 1-octene of about 80%, but in selectivities to the amines of only 50 to 60%.

Table 14.2 Comparison between silica-supported, silsesquioxane, and molecular Mo(VI) precursor as catalysts for octene and ethyl oleate self-metathesis.

A similar reaction using ethyl acrylate proceeded more efficiently. Ethyl cinnamate was obtained in 80% yield by using one equivalent of Pd(OAc)2 (Scheme 3) [12]. With smaller amounts of Pd(OAc)2, biphenyl was produced catalytically as the major product. The reaction of Ph3Bi with 1-octene under the same reaction conditions afforded a mixture of various phenylated octenes in moderate yields. 

Coordination copolymerization of ethylene with small amounts of an a-olefin such as 1-butene, 1-hexene, or 1-octene results in the equivalent of the branched, low-density polyethylene produced by radical polymerization. The polyethylene, referred to as linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), has controlled amounts of ethyl, n-butyl, and n-hexyl branches, respectively. Copolymerization with propene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, and cycloalk-enes is also practiced. There was little effort to commercialize linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) until 1978, when gas-phase technology made the economics of the process very competitive with the high-pressure radical polymerization process [James, 1986]. The expansion of this technology was rapid. The utility of the LLDPE process Emits the need to build new high-pressure plants. New capacity for LDPE has usually involved new plants for the low-pressure gas-phase process, which allows the production of HDPE and LLDPE as well as polypropene. The production of LLDPE in the United States in 2001 was about 8 billion pounds, the same as the production of LDPE. Overall, HDPE and LLDPE, produced by coordination polymerization, comprise two-thirds of all polyethylenes. 

Ozonides and alkoxyhydroperoxides from 1-octene and ethyl 10-undecenoate were isolated by column chromatography and oxidized to acids, RCOOH, using (a) 02 at 95°C.,... 

Procedures. Chromatographic Purification of Ozonization Products. Ozonization products from ethyl 10-undecenoate and 1-octene were chromatographed on silica gel columns (Baker) and eluted with 15 or 25% ether in petroleum ether (b.p., 30°-60°). Fractions were examined by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) on silica gel G Chroma-gram sheet eluted with 40% ether in petroleum ether. For development of ozonide and peroxide spots, 3% KI in 1% aqueous acetic acid spray was better than iodine. The spots (of iodine) faded, but a permanent record was made by Xerox copying. Color of die spots varied from light brown (ozonide) to purple-brown (hydroperoxide), and the rate of development of this color was related to structure (diperoxide > hydroperoxide > ozonide). 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine spray revealed aldehyde spots and also reacted with ozonides and hydroperoxides. Fractions were evaporated at room temperature or below in a rotary evaporator. 

Isothermal Calorimetry of Hexanitratoammonium Cerate Oxidation of Products from 1-Octene and 10-Undecenoic Acid. The heat developed in the oxidation of ethyl 10-ethoxydecanoate 10-hydroperoxide in ethanol is shown in Figure 1. Samples of 10% solutions of peroxide in ethanol were used with 5-ml. aliquots of 0.1465N cerate in 25 ml. of ethanol. The intersection of the two lines shows a ratio of 1.04 moles of peroxide per equivalent of cerium and maximum heat evolution of 42 kcal. per equivalent of cerium. Similar plots were made for the reaction of the corresponding methoxyhydroperoxide in ethanol (1.10 equivalents, 47 kcal.) and in methanol (1.08 equivalents, 45 kcal.). 1-Ethoxyheptane-1-hydroperoxide was oxidized in acetone (0.98 equivalent, 36 kcal.), in... 

Transesterification. The product obtained from cerate oxidation of the methoxyhydroperoxide from 1-octene in ethanol contained methyl heptanoate but no ethyl heptanoate, and the oxidation product of the ethoxyhydroperoxide in methanol contained ethyl heptanoate but no methyl heptanoate.
