The classic example is the butadiene system, which can rearrange photochemi-cally to either cyclobutene or bicyclobutane. The spin pairing diagrams are shown in Figure 13. The stereochemical properties of this reaction were discussed in Section III (see Fig. 8). A related reaction is the addition of two ethylene derivatives to form cyclobutanes. In this system, there are also three possible spin pairing options. 

The kinetics of the ethylene hydration reaction have been investigated for a tungstic oxide—siHca gel catalyst, and the energy of activation for the reaction deterrnined to be 125 kJ/mol (- 30 kcal/mol) (106,120). The kinetics over a phosphoric acid-siHca gel catalyst have been examined (121). By making some simplifying assumptions to Taft s mechanism, a rate equation was derived ... 

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. 

Reaction of 2-chloromethyl-4//-pyrido[l,2-u]pyrimidine-4-one 162 with various nitronate anions (4 equiv) under phase-transfer conditions with BU4NOH in H2O and CH2CI2 under photo-stimulation gave 2-ethylenic derivatives 164 (01H(55)535). These alkenes 164 were formed by single electron transfer C-alkylation and base-promoted HNO2 elimination from 163. When the ethylenic derivative 164 (R = R ) was unsymmetrical, only the E isomer was isolated. Compound 162 was treated with S-nucleophiles (sodium salt of benzyl mercaptan and benzenesulfinic acid) and the lithium salt of 4-hydroxycoumarin to give compounds 165-167, respectively. 

Like other 2,2-diaryltrichloroethanes, DFDT undergoes dehydrohalogenation in the presence of a base to yield l,l-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-fluorophenyl)-ethylene. The rate of this reaction has been found to be directly proportional to the temperature, and the rate constant for DFDT is approximately one seventh that for DDT at ordinary temperatures (18, 110). This ethylene derivative has been oxidized by the use of chromic anhydride to p,p -difluorobenzophenone, a sample of which did not depress the melting point of an authentic sample prepared by a different route (10). 

The rate of eh reaction with ethylene is low, 106 M-1s-1. An electron-donating group adjacent to NH2 or OH makes the rate very low. Similarly, an electron-accepting group enhances the rate as in the case of pyrrole, vinyl alcohol, or ethylene derivatives, where some reactions proceed at diffusion-controlled rates. 

A3-Pyrrolinones have also been obtained from metal-mediated cyclooligomerization processes in which concomitant hydrolytic or carbonyl insertion occurs. For example, tert-butyl isocyanide is converted in aqueous methanol by zerovalent nickel compounds e.g., Ni(t-BuNC)4, Ni(CO)4, into a di(alkylamino)-A3-pyrrolinone in moderate yield (Scheme 34). The reaction takes a different course in anhydrous methanol in which a di-tert-butylamino)ethylene derivative is formed, albeit in poor yield (Scheme 34).62... 

No effect of this type is manifested for the addition of alkyl radicals to the same alkenes. Evidently, the steric effect involved in the addition of trialkylsilyl radicals to 1,2-disubstituted ethylene derivatives is due to the repulsion between the carbon and silicon atom, caused by the large size of the silicon atom in the reaction center of the transition state. 

In addition to the reactions mentioned, ethyl diazoacetate takes part in many condensations with acetylene and ethylene derivatives, when the nitrogen is retained in the molecule. Thus, with esters of fumaric acid, for example, pyrazoline tricarboxylic esters are produced ... 

C, A-diphenyl nitrones (p-XC6H4CHN(0)Ph, X = NO2, Cl, H, Me and MeO) with N-phenylmaleimide to form 2,3,6-triaryl derivatives of l-oxa-2,6-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane-5,7-dione. No enthalpy of formation data are available for A-phenylmaleimide or for maleimide itself. However, it is available for the corresponding A-methyhnaleimide along with some other imides. The gas phase enthalpy of hydrogenation of this species (derived as the difference between its enthalpy of formation and that of N-methylsucc-inimide ) is 133.7 2.2 kJmoC. This value is essentially the same as for ethylene (derived as the difference between its enthalpy of formation and that of ethane) of 136.3 0.4 kJmoH. Therefore, let us assume the reaction of the above parent nitrone with ethylene to form the diphenylated isoxazolidine, shown in equation 12, has very much the same exothermicity as with A-phenylmaleimide, namely ca 82 kJmol . If so, the enthalpy of formation of 2,3-diphenylisoxazolidine would be 233 kJmol . Now, is this value plausible ... 

Reactions of the above-mentioned ethylene derivatives with dioxygen in solution afford mixtures of uncharacterized compounds [67] with minor ex-... 

The autoclave is allowed to cool overnight in the heating mantle, to ensure slow crystallization of the product. The pressure is then released, the liner tube is removed from the autoclave, and the yellow solution is decanted immediately and discarded. The checkers observed a red-orange solution at this point, which could be due to the presence of Ru6(ethylene) derivatives if the prescribed reaction time is exceeded. 

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... 

Diels-Alder reactions.2 This ethylene derivative undergoes (4 + 2] cycloaddition even with relatively unreactive cyclic dienes. The adducts undergo reductive elimination of the sulfonyl groups on treatment with 2% sodium amalgam to provide bicyclodienes. The ethene therefore can function as an equivalent of acetylene in Diels-Alder reactions. 

In general, the ethylene bond in organic cation radicals is weakened, and the barrier to rotation becomes significantly less than that of the neutral ethylene derivative. This particular property of the ethylene bond in cation radicals has been used to probe for the mechanism of many reactions (Todres 1987). 

Malonate anions react with the ri2-ethylene-Fe(CO)4 complex to afford after demetallation ethyl malonate derivatives. Reaction of nucleophiles with tetracar-bonyliron-activated c/.Jl-unsatu rated carbonyl compounds leads after protonation of the intermediate alkyl-Fe(CO)4 anions to the products of Michael addition. 

Reaction of an amino group, present in a side chain of 7-oxo-lH,3H,7H-pyrido[3,2,1-z/J[3,1 Jbenzoxazine-6-carboxyhc acids, with ethylene derivatives in the presence of a base in DMSO yielded (2-substituted ethyl)amino derivatives (06WOP2006/050940, 06WOP6006/050943). 

Reaction of 8-quinolinesulfenyl chloride and ethylene derivatives 400 in the presence of UCIO4 afforded 2,3-dihydropyrido[l,2,3-de]-l,4-ben-zothiazinium perchlorates 401 (09MC49). 

A number of reactions are known, however, in which more extensive rearrangements of bonds occur and which involve cyclic intermediates or products. The Diels-Alder reaction is a classical example of this. In the normal Diels-Alder reaction a Ci s-1,3-diene reacts with an ethylene derivative (dienophile) to form a cyclohexene ... 

At room temperature, water also induces formation of 1,3-dipoles which undergoes a quantitative [3 + 2]cycloaddition reaction with maleimide. Cycloaddition with ethylenic derivatives requires the additional use of acetic acid.400... 

The high electron density in the double bond system of ethylenes makes nucleophilic attack unfavorable unless the system is substituted with one or more electron withdrawing groups such as -N02, -CN, -COR. When these substituents are present, attack by alcohols or alkoxide ions occurs at the beta-carbon predominantly. For example, researchers have found (12) that sodium methoxide or sodium ethoxide added rapidly at room temperature to beta-nitrostyrene leads to the alkoxide formation of the derivative (Reaction VIII). This reaction is generally not only for arylnitroalkenes (13) but also for other activated double bonds (14). Another example of alcohol addition to an activated double bond includes the reaction of alcohols with acrylonitrile to produce a cyano-ethylated ether (14A).
