Ethylene configuration

In order for this [2 + 2] cycloaddition (each of the reactants has two n electrons participating in the interaction) to proceed, we need to carry out the experiment under photochemical conditions, where both the HOMO of the excited ethylene [with configuration (7r) ( r ) ] and the LUMO of the ground-state ethylene [configuration are 7t. As the following...

For some systems a single determinant (SCFcalculation) is insufficient to describe the electronic wave function. For example, square cyclobutadiene and twisted ethylene require at least two configurations to describe their ground states. To allow several configurations to be used, a multi-electron configuration interaction technique has been implemented in HyperChem. 

Mold temperatures vary between 150—200°C, depending on the mol ding methods and part size. Parts can be molded in 1.5—10 min depending on the configuration and thickness of the part, the mold temperature, and the desired state of cure at demolding. Since most ethylene—acryflc parts are postcured, it is sometimes possible to demold partly cured articles and complete vulcanization in the postcuring oven. 

Structure. The straiued configuration of ethylene oxide has been a subject for bonding and molecular orbital studies. Valence bond and early molecular orbital studies have been reviewed (28). Intermediate neglect of differential overlap (INDO) and localized molecular orbital (LMO) calculations have also been performed (29—31). The LMO bond density maps show that the bond density is strongly polarized toward the oxygen atom (30). Maximum bond density hes outside of the CCO triangle, as suggested by the bent bonds of valence—bond theory (32). The H-nmr spectmm of ethylene oxide is consistent with these calculations (33). 

The photochemistry of cyclobutanones differs from that of less strained larger cycloalkanones. Fragmentation to ethylene and ketene (derivatives), decarbonylation and rearrangement to oxacarbenes predominate here. The oxacarbene formation, which occurs with retention of the configuration of the... 

Studies by Levisalles and Tkatchenko on the mechanism and stereochemistry of the steroidal benzilic rearrangement have demonstrated that the configuration of the product obtained in about 85 % yield from 5a-cholestane-3,4-dione (27) is as shown (28). When redistilled ethylene glycol mono-...

It is known the case of i-PP, for which the copolymerization with small amounts of ethylene tends to stabilize the y form [84] for instance, by melt crystallization of a copolymer with 6% by mol of ethylene more than 80% of the crystalline phase is in the y form [85], It is also known that the obtainment of the y form by melt crystallization, is also favored for samples of low molecular mass [86, 87] and for stereoblock fractions [88]. This seems to suggest that, whenever the preferential crystallization of the y-form is observed, there is the concomitant occurrence of a reduction in the polymer of the length of the chain stretches with polypropylene head to tail constitution and isotactic configuration. 

The sulfur bond configurations of ethylene sulfoxide, (CH2)2SO, and trimethylene sulfoxide, (CH2)3SO, are shown in Figures 6 and 7, respectively. For the latter, details of...

An interesting example of regioselective CM with ethylene as a tool in natural product degradation was recently disclosed by Hawaiian authors [149]. Thus, CM using catalyst C and ethylene gas was used to degrade the plant polyacetylene oxylipin (+)-falcarindiol (342) with uncertain stereochemistry at C3. As the reaction provided a meso product (343) in 81% yield by regioselective attack at the aliphatic side chain, the natural compound 342, isolated from a Hawaiian endemic plant, had the 3R,8S configuration shown in Scheme 66.
