Another possible reason that ethylene glycol is not produced by this system could be that the hydroxymethyl complex of (51) and (52) may undergo preferential reductive elimination to methanol, (52), rather than CO insertion, (51). However, CO insertion appears to take place in the formation of methyl formate, (53), where a similar insertion-reductive elimination branch appears to be involved. Insertion of CO should be much more favorable for the hydroxymethyl complex than for the methoxy complex (67, 83). Further, ruthenium carbonyl complexes are known to hydro-formylate olefins under conditions similar to those used in these CO hydrogenation reactions (183, 184). Based on the studies of equilibrium (46) previously described, a mononuclear catalyst and ruthenium hydride alkyl intermediate analogous to the hydroxymethyl complex of (51) seem probable. In such reactions, hydroformylation is achieved by CO insertion, and olefin hydrogenation is the result of competitive reductive elimination. The results reported for these reactions show that olefin hydroformylation predominates over hydrogenation, indicating that the CO insertion process of (51) should be quite competitive with the reductive elimination reaction of (52). 

This di-ethyl ester of di-hydro collidine di-carboxylic acid is then treated with nitrous acid which removes the two added hydrogens. The ester is then hydrolyzed and carbon dioxide eliminated whereby collidine is obtained. This, by oxidation of the methyl groups to carboxyl groups - and elimination of carbon dioxide, yields pyridine.

The olefin synthesis has been extended to the preparation of conjugated dienes from the tosylhydrazoncs of /3-unsatnrated ketones.61 The reaction is particularly useful for preparation of 1,3-cyclohexadienes as shown by the preparation of (8). /3-lononc tosylhydrazone was converted into the triene (9). The method cannot be used to prepare allenes. Further experiments indicated that the eliminated a-hydro-gen must be part of a methylene or methyl group. Methyllithium was found to be superior to -butyllithium. 

Chemistry of the Tricyclic Diterpenoids.— The conversion of virescenol A (66 R = OH) into virescenol B (66 R = H) was complicated by the ease of 2,19-ether formation. In the event the transformation was achieved through hydro-genolysis of the keto-furan (67). The chirality of nucleophilic reactions at the C-4 axial aldehydes and methyl ketones has been examined in the podocarpane series. The reaction of some ring B enol-acetates with thallium(l) acetate and iodine has been studied.lodination at the 6a-position is followed by elimination to form a/8-unsaturated ketones. 

A different approach to methyl ohvosides (24), starting from L-arabinose, is much more laborious and involves chain extension through the Henry reaction (Scheme 2). The 2-deoxy function is introduced by elimination/hydro-genation and 6-deoxygenation is achieved either via tosylation/LAH reduction or iodination/Raney nickel reductive dehalogenation of the primary hydroxyl group [52]. 

The dimerization of alkenes has been extensively studied by Wilke (Scheme 67).P1 hi the tail-to-tail dimerization of methyl aaylate, cationic nickel hydride species have heen proposed as the active catalysts. The mechanism of this process proceeds hy alkene hydro-metalation, insertion of a second equivalent of methyl aaylate, and then fl-hydride elimination to release the product and generate the nickel hydride catalyst. 

In these associations, the alkylbridge bonds are very weak compared with the other bridge bonds of hydrogen, halogen and hetero atoms [16,24]. For example, MeAlCb forms a dimer with the bridge bond of chlorine atom (the methyl group does not form the bridge bond [25]). The Al—H and Al—C bonds of the aluminum compounds show characteristic reactivities, and their reactivities are industrially utilized. The most representative reaction is hydroalumination. The reverse reaction is an olefin elimination. Ethylene is the most reactive of the olefins in the hydro-... 

If after the addition of IM formaldehyde to IM l-amino-2-methy 1-propanol from the resulting 2-(N-hydro-xymethyl)-2-methyl-propanol 1 M H2O is eliminated, the condensation reaction leads to 100% 4,4-dimethyl-1,3-oxazohdine which, compared with other amine-formaldehyde-reaction-products, where water is not completely ehminated and an equilibrium exists between the N-hydroxymethyl compound and the condensation product, has solubility properties favouring its incorporation in to oil concentrates (e.g. lubricoolants) and its application in fuels to inhibit microbial growth in fuel oil bottom water.
