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. 

The reaction of the p-nitrophenyl esters with the polymer (4) was studied in dimethyl sulfoxide ( DMSO ) solution in the presence of triethylamine at 25°C. The poly-L-lysine derivatives obtained have different IR absorption spectra from those of the starting compounds, and have absorptions assigned to the nucleic acid bases. Poly( e,N-Ade-L-lysine )(5) was soluble in DMSO and ethylene glycol, and also in water below pH 3, where it was present as a protonated form. In dimethylformamide (... 

Types of compounds are arranged according to the following system hydrocarbons and basic heterocycles hydroxy compounds and their ethers mercapto compounds, sulfides, disulfides, sulfoxides and sulfones, sulfenic, sulfinic and sulfonic acids and their derivatives amines, hydroxylamines, hydrazines, hydrazo and azo compounds carbonyl compounds and their functional derivatives carboxylic acids and their functional derivatives and organometallics. In each chapter, halogen, nitroso, nitro, diazo and azido compounds follow the parent compounds as their substitution derivatives. More detail is indicated in the table of contents. In polyfunctional derivatives reduction of a particular function is mentioned in the place of the highest functionality. Reduction of acrylic acid, for example, is described in the chapter on acids rather than functionalized ethylene, and reduction of ethyl acetoacetate is discussed in the chapter on esters rather than in the chapter on ketones. 

Flash-vacuum thermolysis of thietane 1-oxide affords the reactive intermediate, sulfine, CH2=S=0. Field-ionization mass spectrometry of the thermolysis products also indicates the formation of thietane, propenal, ethylene, CaHsO, CaHg, and hydrogen sulfide. A 1,2-oxathiolane intermediate was suggested. The exo sulfoxide 118 is thermally stable, but the endo derivative 115 decomposes around 200°C, probably because of the ease of -elimination ... 

Either Fenton reagent or a mixture of ascorbic acid, Fe, and ethyl-enediaminetetraacetic acid catalyzed the production of acetyldehyde from ethanol, ethylene from methional derivative, and methane from dimethyl sulfoxide (34). The authors claimed that both hydroxy radicals and singlet oxygen were found as intermediates, and, indeed, ascorbic acid scavenged both hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen. 

In a paper published along with that of Stevens and Wentland20 and in agreement with these authors, Keely and Tahk23 reported the independent synthesis of dl-mesembrine, also from I-methyl-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-pyrroline and methyl vinyl ketone. In their work the cyclopropyl derivative 3b was prepared from the reaction of the anion of 3,4-dimethoxyphenylacetonitrile (lc) with ethylene dibromide in dimethyl sulfoxide and its sodium salt as solvent and base. Reduction with ethereal diisobutylaluminum hydride gave the aldehyde, which was condensed with excess methylamine in benzene-ether solution with calcium oxide as the dehydrating agent. 

The procedure for oxidation of the sulfide to the sulfone is based on that reported earlier by Bordwell and Pitt. The synthetic utility of phenyl vinyl sulfone and sulfoxide derives not only from their ability to serve as excellent Michael acceptors toward such reagents as enolate anions and organometallics, but also as moderately reactive dienophiles in Diels-Alder reactions. " The resulting adducts, in turn, can be chemically modified so that these electron-deficient olefins serve as useful synthons for acetylene,ethylene,terminal olefins,vinylsilanes, and ketene in [4 + 2] cycloadditions. Phenyl vinyl sulfone undergoes ready cycloaddition to Danishefsky s diene in the first step of a protocol for the regiospecific y-alkylation of 2-cyclohexenones. Furthermore, the ready lithiation of phenyl...

Natural and synthetic polynucleotides are known to form polymer complexes by specific base-base interactions between nucleic acid bases. The synthetic nucleic acid analogs such as poly (methacryamide), poly-(ethyleneimine) and poly(L-lysine) derivatives containing nucleic acid bases were also found to form polymer complexes with polynucleotides by specific base-base interactions. Since the solubilities of these nucleic acid analogs in water were low, the specific interactions should be studied in organic solvents or water-organic mixed solvents, such as dimethyl sulfoxide, ethylene glucol, and water-propylene glycol.
