Halides dihalides, synthesis

The malonic ester required for synthesis of cyclopal (107) can be obtained by alkylation of diethyl allylmalonate (115) with 1,2-dibromocyclopentane in the presence of excess base. It is probable that the reaction proceeds by elimination of hydrogen bromide from the dihalide as the first step. The resulting allilic halide (116) would be the most reactive electrophile in the reaction mixture and thus would quickly alkylate the anion of the malonate to afford 117. 

An alkyne is a hydrocarbon that contains a carbon-carbon triple bond. Alkyne carbon atoms are sp-hybridized, and the triple bond consists of one sp-sp a bond and two p-p tt bonds. There are relatively few general methods of alkyne synthesis. Two good ones are the alkylation of an acetylide anion with a primary-alkyl halide and the twofold elimination of HX from a vicinal dihalide. 

Monodehydrohalogenation of allylic halides is another classical method for diene synthesis24. This method is complementary to double dehydrohalogenation as both the 1,2-dihalides and allylic halides are readily accessed from alkenes. The commonly employed protocol for diene synthesis, particularly for cyclic 1,3-dienes, is through the allylic monobromination of the alkene with A-bromosuccinimide or related reagents followed by dehydrobromination with hindered bases such as DBN or DBU (equation l)25. 

The reaction of halogenotriphenylphosphonium halides (triphenyl-phosphine dihalides) with alcohols is a useful method for the synthesis of alkyl halides (see Section II,2b p. 239). It has been found88 that (alkoxymethylene)dimethyliminium halides are formed in the reactions of these reagents with alcohols in N,N-dimethylformamide a possible mechanism is shown. Hydrolysis of the (alkoxymethylene)-dimethyliminium halide intermediate affords a formic ester, whereas... 

The direct electrochemical synthesis (Scheme 2) of the addncts of organomagnesinm halides with 2,2 -bipyridine (6) and salts of organodihalogenomagnesinm(II) anions (7) was reported by Hayes and coworkers . Adducts of different stoichiometry and 7 were obtained in the electrochemical oxidation of magnesium in ACN solutions containing organic halides RX (8), a.ro-dihalides XR X (9) and 8 with ammonium salts R NX, respectively. All new products showed none of the typical reactions of Grignard reagents.

Ionic liquids have been a popular topic of interest in 2002 and a review of the applications of these solvents in organic synthesis has been published (02ACA75>. New, densely functionalized fluoroalkyl-substituted imidazolium ionic liquids have been reported <02TL9497>. An ultrasound-assisted preparation of a series of ambient-temperature ionic liquids, l-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium halides, which proceeds via efficient reactions of 1-methyl imidazole with alkyl halides/terminal dihalides under solvent-free conditions, has been described <02OL3161>. New hydrophilic poly(ethyleneglycol)-ionic liquids have been synthesized from... 

Iminophosphoranes can also be used to synthesize symmetrical carbodiimides. In this case they are reacted with carbon dioxide, thereby mimicking the synthesis of carbodiimides from amines and carbon dioxide. Another useful synthesis of unsymmetrical carbodiimides, not requiring the use of carbonyl chloride, is the reaction of carbonimidoyl dihalides with amines. The synthesis and chemistry of carbonimidoyl halides was reviewed in 1968. ... 

The halides (especially the chloride) are the most commonly employed synthons in the chemistry of gallium. This is undoubtedly due to their ease of synthesis and high reactivity. While the trihalides have been traditionally the most extensively studied, the mono- and dihalides have come under recent scrutiny. 

The synthesis can be extended to the preparation of ketones in six distinct ways. " These include quenching 180 with a second alkyl halide (R X) rather than acetic acid omitting PPhs with first RX and then adding the second, R X treatment with RX in the presence of CO, followed by treatment with R X treatment with an acyl halide followed by treatment with an alkyl hahde or an epoxide, gives an a,p-unsaturated ketone. The final variations involve reaction of alkyl halides or tosylates with Na2Fe(CO)4 in the presence of ethylene to give alkyl ethyl ketones when 1,4-dihalides are used, five-mem-... 

Zero-valent nickel complexes are known to reduce 1,2-dihalides to olefins and to mediate C,C-coupling reactions of vinyl halides. Based on these facts, lyoda and coworkers developed a two-step, one-pot synthesis of alkyl-substituted [4]radialenes which starts from 2,3-dihalo-l,3-butadienes and 1,4-dichloro-2-butyne derivatives and circumvents the isolation of the butadiene intermediates. Furthermore, the synthesis can be made catalytic in nickel when the Ni(0) complex is generated from NiBr2(PPh3)2 with a more than stoichiometric quantity (based on the dihalide) of zinc. Again, the formation of radialene 94 must compete with that of 95 and 96. With preformed Ni(PPh3)4 and Ni(PBu3)4, the [4]radialene is normally favored in benzene solution, but formation of 95 and/or 96 becomes important in the more polar solvents THF and DMF. With a catalyst... 

Acid amide-triphenylphosphine dihalide adducts (4) have found wide application in organic synthesis. - Synthetic equivalents are adducts (5) from acid amides and triphenylphosphine/CCU, which are prepared in situ from the educts. - With these reagents the following transformations have been performed dehydration of amides or aldoximes to nitriles, preparation of isonitriles from secondary form-amides, preparation of imidoyl halides from amides or acylhydrazines and preparation of ketene imines from amides. Using polymer-supported triphenylphosphine the work-up procedure is much easier to achieve. Triphenylphosphine can be replaced by tris(dialkylamino)phosphines. - Instead of CCI4 hexa-chloroethane, hexabromoethane or l,l,2,2-tetrabromo-l,2-dichloroethane can be used " the adducts thus formed are assumed to be more effective than those from the triphenylphosphine/CCU system.
