Ethylene derivatives aldehydes

In Robinson s now well-known suggestions, regarding the processes by which alkaloids may be produced in plants, two main reactions are used j the aldol condensation and the similar condensation of carbinol-amines, resulting from the combination of an aldehyde or ketone with ammonia or an amine, and containing the group. C(OH). N., with substances in which the group, CH. CO. is present. By these reactions it is possible to form the alkaloid skeleton, and the further necessary changes postulated include oxidations or reductions and elimination of water for the formation of an aromatic nucleus or of an ethylene derivative. 

The preparation of heterocyclic-substituted ethylene derivatives by direct condensation of aldehydes with activated methyl groups, as, for example, in the formation of 2-styrylbenzoxazole (1) has long been known.1 However, the analogous reaction of aldehydes with those... 

The formation of acetals from carbonyl compounds requires acid catalysis and (sometimes) the presence of water-coupling reagents (for instance, anhydrous CUSO4). The conversion of aliphatic aldehydes into dimethyl acetals slightly increases the retention parameters of analytes (ARI = 189 17). The cyclic ethylene derivatives (1,3-dioxolanes, ARI = 212 7, this value is valid only for acyclic carbonyl compounds) are more stable to the hydrolysis and used in GC practice... 

In Chart 7 we included a short series of benzylidenemalononitriles as well as a-nitrostilbenes.116 Note that the most common functionalities associated with the chemistry of the nucleophilic addition to the C=C bond, namely aldehydes, ketones, esters, anhydrides and nitriles, are EW substituents present in dienophiles and dipolarophiles used in NED DA and 1,3 dipolar cycloadditions, and they are included in Table l.121 In Table 14, we summarize the global properties and local electrophilicity values for the series of benzylidenemalononitriles and a-nitrostilbenes. Both series present ethylene derivatives with large electrophilicity values, to > 2.3 eV, they being classified as strong electrophiles within the theoretical electrophilicity scale.39...
