Ethylene exchange reaction with

Attempt to prepare Jt-complexes of triafulvenes and related methylene cyclopro-parenes285,427 428 directly by ligand exchange reaction with transition metal complexes resulted in metal insertion into the sigma bond, forming metallacyclic complexes. Thus reaction of the electron-poor triafulvene l,2-diphenyl-3-dicyanomethylenecyclopropene with (ethylene)bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum in refluxing benzene gave two crystalline products whose platinacyclobutene structure was confirmed by X-ray structure analysis (equation 364)429. 

For the preparation of hydrazones, Schonberg " recommends that equivalent amounts of the ketone and hydrazine be refluxed in -butanol (b.p. 117.7°) for 2 hrs. Use of ethanol requires a longer reflux period and use of ethylene or propylene glycol may lead to side reactions. Thus on applying the glycol procedure for conversion of fluorenone to the hydrazone, Baltzly et al. observed formation of considerable fluorene (interference by an unusually facile Wolff-Kishner reaction). On refluxing the reactants in n-butanol for 4 hrs., the hydrazone was obtained in 67% yield. However, a superior method for the preparation of hydrazones involves reaction of the ketone with N,N-dimethylhydrazine which see) followed by an exchange reaction with hydrazine. 

Alcohols also undergo a timilar hydrogen-exchange reaction with ethylene as the acceptor to give aldehydes or ketones in yields of 40-75 per cent. The reaction takes place at atmospheric (nessure, at a temperature of about 280°C, while using a copfter-zinc-mickel-barium chromate as the catalyst. 

Enamine bond formation operates in a similarly dynamic manner. Pomposo, Fulton, and coworkers synthesized reversible SCNPs using enamine chemistry. Initially, enamine-functionalized polymers were synthesized by the condensation of butylamine with a polymer containing beta-keto ester units. Nanoparticles were synthesized by a dynamic exchange reaction with ethylene diamine. The enamine eross-links were cleaved upon addition of phosphoric acid, and reformed with additional ethylene diamine. 

Recently, Gnanou et al reported that l,l-bis(4-bromophenyl)ethylene (4) can be used in a way similar to that for the above-mentioned TERMINI in the synthesis of dendrimer-like star-branched (PS)s and poly(1,3-butadiene)s (PB)s (Matmour and Gnanou, 2008). The synthetic outline is illustrated in Scheme 5.4. In each reaction step, 4 reacted with the terminal potassium alkoxide in a 1 1 addition manner to introduce two phenyl bromide moieties at the chain end, which was subsequently transformed into two phenyl lithiums by the Li-Br exchange reaction with sec-BuLi. Following the living anionic polymerization of styrene or 1,3-butadiene. 

Tezuka et al. [56] further extended ESA-CF to other polymer systems. For instance, a,oi)-dihydroxyl poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) was first converted to a,(D-di (p-toluenesulfonate)-PEO. The latter was converted to an ammonium with quinuchdine, followed by an ion-exchange reaction with tetra-n-butylammonium... 

Another use of hydrogen fluoride, although not in halogen exchange, is the reaction with ethylenes or acetylenes to form the addition products, 1,1-difluoroethane [75-37-6] and vinyl fluoride [75-02-5]-. 

The saturated 3-ketone can also be protected as the ethylene ketal, which is prepared directly by reaction with ethylene glycol or by exchange dioxo-lanation. Selective formation of 3-ethylenedioxy compounds is also possible, but the former method is not particularly effective in the presence of 6-, 17- or 20-ketones. However, the exchange dioxolanation technique is more sensitive to steric effects and good selectivity at C-3 can be achieved in the presence of a 17-ketone, provided the reagent does not contain glycol. ... 

A"" -3-Ketones are more reactive than cross-conjugated A ""-3-ketones. A"" -3,3-CycIoethylenedioxy compounds can be easily prepared by acid-catalyzed reaction with ethylene glycol or by exchange dioxolanation. 3,3-Cycloethylenedioxy-A -dienes can be prepared from 3,3-cycloethy-lenedioxy-A -enes by allylic bromination and dehydrobromination. Acid hydrolysis yields A"" -3-ketosteroids. ... 

Unsubstituted 20-ketones undergo exchange dioxolanation nearly with the same ease as saturated 3-ketones although preferential ketalization at C-3 can be achieved under these conditions. " 20,20-Cycloethylenedioxy derivatives are readily prepared by acid-catalyzed reaction with ethylene glycol. The presence of a 12-ketone inhibits formation of 20-ketals. Selective removal of 20-ketals in the presence of a 3-ketal is effected with boron trifluoride at room temperature. Hemithioketals and thioketals " are obtained by conventional procedures. However, the 20-thioketal does not form under mild conditions (dilution technique). ... 

The second pathway is represented by Eqs. (8)—(11). These reactions involve reduction of the Nin halide to a Ni° complex in a manner similar to the generation of Wilke s bare nickel (37, 38) which can form a C8 bis-77-alkyl nickel (17) in the presence of butadiene [Eq. (9)]. It is reasonable to assume that in the presence of excess alkyaluminum chloride, an exchange reaction [Eq. (10)] can take place between the Cl" on the aluminum and one of the chelating 7r-allyls to form a mono-77-allylic species 18. Complex 18 is functionally the same as 16 under the catalytic reaction condition and should be able to undergo additional reaction with a coordinated ethylene to begin a catalytic cycle similar to Scheme 4 of the Rh system. The result is the formation of a 1,4-diene derivative similar to 13 and the generation of a nickel hydride which then interacts with a butadiene to form the ever-important 7r-crotyl complex [Eq. (11)]. 

A few measurements are available that relate to the ion pair acidity of ethylene and some other alkenes. Ethylene is difficult to metallate directly, but vinyl bromides and iodides undergo facile transmetallation with alkyllithium reagents. Applequist and O Brien determined the equilibrium constants of transmetallation exchange reactions as a measure of relative acidity (equations 6 and 7)25. 

A major problem encountered in studies of the cluster carbonyls is the comparatively drastic conditions required to bring about chemical reaction with substrates such as acetylene or ethylene. The difficulty lies in the reluctance of these systems to undergo ligand exchange either via (a) a CO dissociation step,...
