Functional organic compounds

Potassium fluoride [7789-23-3], KF, is the most frequently used of the alkaU metal fluorides, although reactivity of the alkaU fluorides is in the order CsF > RbF > KF > NaF > LiF (6). The preference for KF is based on cost and availabiUty traded off against relative reactivity. In its anhydrous form it can be used to convert alkyl haUdes and sulfonyl haUdes to the fluorides. The versatility makes it suitable for halogen exchange in various functional organic compounds like alcohols, acids and esters (7). For example, 2,2-difluoroethanol [359-13-7] can be made as shown in equation 9 and methyl difluoroacetate [433-53 ] as in equation 10. 

Hydrozirconation of various alkenylboranes [118-121] and alkenylzinc halides [34] with 1 provides the corresponding 1,1-bimetalloalkanes, which can be selectively converted to functionalized organic compounds [122-125]. Interestingly, alkenylzinc halides (RCH=CHZnX) show remarkable chemoselectivity, and functional groups such as chloride, cyanide, or ester functionality are tolerated [126]. 

Enzymes have several remarkable catalytic properties such as high catalytic power and high selectivities under mild reaction conditions, as compared with those of chemical catalysts. In the field of organic synthesis, enzymes have often been employed as catalyst functional organic compounds were synthesized by the enzymatic selective reactions [1-5]. 

The nitroaldol (Henry) reaction constitutes a powerful C-C bond-forming process in organic chemistry, providing efficient access to valuable functionalized organic compounds such as 1,2-amino-alcohols, a-hydroxy-carboxylic acids and 3-hydroxy-nitroalkanes [215, 216]. 

Three-methods have been pursued to organize monolayers from different organic compounds to form molecular monolayer FETs (1) thermal evaporation of approximately monolayer thickness on the dielectric surface of FETs, (2) Langmuir-Blodgett assembly on the water surface and transfer to device surfaces, and (3) self-assembly of functionalized organic compounds on the surface of the gate, or gate dielectric layers of FETs. 

The linear correlation of enthalpies of formation with the number of carbon atoms is a useful and well-known feature of homologous series of functionalized organic compounds. The slope of the regression line for the gaseous n-alkanes (CH3—(CH2)j —H), —20.6 kJmol-, and the similar values of the slopes for other CH3—(CHi) —Z series is often called the universal methylene increment . In the liquid phase, the increment for the n-alkanes is —25.6 0.1 klmoD. The most accurate determination of the increment... 

The second category of industry-favored adhesive research involves synthetic resins of recognizable performance based on partial or total replacement of a critical petrochemical constituent such as phenol with a functional organic compound or residue derived from renewable sources. Examples here include ... 

The activation of C-H bonds for direct C C bond formation reactions has the potential to become very important especially if it can be accomplished for sp C-H bonds, in methane or alkanes as these are the major feedstocks available. In addition, C-H bond activation of functionalized organic compounds for selective C-C bond formation has been and will continue to be a very important goal of organometallic catalysis. So far the use of transition metal complexes has led to interesting results which however are not yet industrially relevant. 

Diazoalkanes 1 form a versatile class of functionalized organic compounds [1]. Their undisputed significance in organic synthesis is manifested in a number of organometallic and other metal-induced reactions [2], some of which have entered catalytic applications. Cyclopropanation is one of them (cf. Section 3.1.7) but intramolecular carbon-hydrogen insertion appears of much potential in synthesis, too. This type of reaction relates to the easily available, normally nonexplosive a-diazocarbonyl compounds (a-diazoketones. Structure 2).

Through this process, crude oil is converted to functionalized organic compounds which can, in turn, be used for many of the organic reactions presented in this text. 

Ring-opening fluorination of 2,3-epoxy-alcohols is one of the most important ways of introducing fluorine atoms into functionalized organic compounds (Scheme 12.12). Sc(OTf)3 could act as an efficient catalyst in ring-opening fluorination of 2,3-epoxyalcohols by ammonium hydrogen fluorides [20].
