Iconic compounds

Silicon tetrachloride reacts with diethylzinc to form tetraethylsilane. This compound was synthesized by Friedel and Crafts in 1863, the first organosil-icon compound ... 

Transition metal-catalyzed transformations of organosil-icon compounds continue to make important contributions to organic synthesis and hold great promise for developing efficient routes to Si-based functional materials. The need to understand the mechanisms of these transformations and develop new methodologies has inspired researchers to probe the fundamental reactivities of silanes with a variety of transition metal complexes. The reactivities of Ni complexes with hydrosilanes have been studied quite vigorously and a number of interesting transformations have been reported recently, some of which are described below.

This powerful system maximizes the students learning experience and, at the same time, reduces faculty workload and helps facilitate instruction. OWL also uses the MDL Chime application to assist students with viewing structures of organic compounds. New to this edition are 15 to 20 end-of-chapter problems per chapter, denoted by a icon, which are assignable in OWL. A fee-based access code is required for OWL.

The fast reversible formation of the phosphonium salt also deserves attention since it is the first step in important reactions in organosi1 icon chemistry. As a consequence of the particularly high susceptibility of the silicon in the phosphonium ion to nucleophilic attack, phosphoryl compounds catalyze nucleophilic attack in substitution at silicon (6). 

The racemic mixture of 36 crystallized as a racemic compound in an achiral space group crystal. Analysis of its X-ray crystallographically determined structure shows one of the enantiomers to have a reference,S)-TCBtype33 conformation as depicted in the iconic drawing for 36 (see Fig. 19). Conformational families exist for cis-3 or trans-44 cyclononenes. The various members of a family maintain similar torsion angles for six of the nine bonds compared to those measured for their cyclononane saturated parent.3 Double bonds are formed from either synclinal or antiperiplanar-type bonds in the parent. Conversion of a single bond to a double bond will usually... 

One consequence of tetrahedral geometry is that an aniiiie with three different substituents on nitrogen is chiral, as we saw in Section 9.12. Unlike chiral carbon compounds, however, chiral amines can t usually be resoh ed because the two enantiomeric forms rapidly in te icon vert by a pynmiUial inversion, much as an alkyl halide inverts in an 2 reaction. Pyramidal inversion occurs by a momentary rehybridization of the nitrogen atom to planar, sp geometry, followed by rehybridization of the planar intermediate to tetrahedral, sp geometry...

In a similar way, our team has done lots of work in functionalizing a,a>-diiodoperlluoroalkanes into fluorotelechelic compounds. These works were summarized by Ameduri et al. [244] in a review on the synthesis of fluo-ropolymers. For instance, our team synthesized a,co diols or dienes of perflu-oroalkanes [245-248]. These compounds are precursors of hybrid fluorosil-icones [249] but also of thermoplastic elastomers by polycondensation with polyimide sequences [250]. 

The reduction of carbonyl compounds by hydrosilylation is one of the most effective methods for the synthesis of alcohols [150]. The reactivity of organosil-icon reagents, such as trialkoxysilanes and trihalogenated silanes, in these reactions is enhanced by coordination with Lewis bases such as fluoride or DMF. Upon reaction with diols or aminoalcohols, these reagents can form pentacoor-... 

By clicking on the corresponding icon you have access to the appropriate library window that comprises four areas. Then click on the 13 icon in the top left comer of the left pane to list the compound names of the library entries. To display the spectrum, the compound information, and the stmcture, select the compound desired. As an example, all these data for methyl formate are shown in Fig. 11.37. 

The tetrahedral intermediate is one of those iconic species on which the foundation of reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry is built It refers to a (normally undetected and hence merely inferred) species formed initially when a nucleophilic reagent attacks a carbonyl compound. A tetrahedral intermediate is a reaction... 

The most important of these mechanisms (about 20) are in Key Mechanism boxes (denoted by a key icon and listed in the detailed Table of Contents). These are the fundamental mechanistic principles that make organic chemistry (and biochemistry) work. They are the pieces that compose most of the other, longer mechanisms. Thirty years from now, even if you don t remember anything else from your organic chemistry course, I hope you will still understand these fundamental ways in which compounds react.
