Inversion products

It is possible to prepare 1-acetoxy-4-chloro-2-alkenes from conjugated dienes with high selectivity. In the presence of stoichiometric amounts of LiOAc and LiCl, l-acetoxy-4-chloro-2-hutene (358) is obtained from butadiene[307], and cw-l-acetoxy-4-chloro-2-cyclohexene (360) is obtained from 1.3-cyclohexa-diene with 99% selectivity[308]. Neither the 1.4-dichloride nor 1.4-diacetate is formed. Good stereocontrol is also observed with acyclic diene.s[309]. The chloride and acetoxy groups have different reactivities. The Pd-catalyzed selective displacement of the chloride in 358 with diethylamine gives 359 without attacking allylic acetate, and the chloride in 360 is displaced with malonate with retention of the stereochemistry to give 361, while the uncatalyzed reaction affords the inversion product 362. 

In acid, the rate of hydrolysis of sucrose is faster than the rate of degradation of its inversion products. 

Because alkali degradation of sucrose does not result in inversion products, in slightly alkaline solution (pH < 8.5), the loss of sucrose to invert sugar (glucose + fructose) is a consequence of the acid hydrolysis mechanism, which provides D-glucose and D-fructose for further alkaline degradation. 

An alcohol is an example of a compound which does not react with a 2-bromoamide, in the absence of a promoter. Representative reactions (Fig. 3), with methanol in the presence of Ag20, gave an (S)-O-methyllactamide 4 rapidly and with retention of configuration. To explore if an alternative stereochemistry was available and to have indirect information on the role of Ag20, reactions were also run between methanol and a 2-bromoamide, in the presence of Ag+CF3S03 . The inversion product (R)-0-methyllactamide was obtained rapidly, with high yield (ref. 10). 

Quite analogous ring-closures occur when the 1-O-acetyl derivatives of the rhamnopyranose and talopyranose derivatives are treated with sodium azide in N,N-dimethylformamide. l-O-Acetyl-6-deoxy-2,3-0-isopropylidene-4-0-mesyl-a-L-mannopyranose is converted exclusively into l,4-anhydro-6-deoxy-2,3-0-isopropylidene-/3-L-talo-pyranose. In this instance, the azide nucleophile attacks the l-O-ace-tyl group, liberating an 0-1 oxide ion which reacts with inversion of C-4. The 4-epimeric, l-O-acetyl-6-deoxy-talose derivative gives 60% of the direct inversion product l,4-anhydro-6-deoxy-2,3-0-isopropyli-dene-a-L-mannopyranose, together with other products.50... 

Determination of Saccharose, Raffinose and a Reducing Sugar together.—If the same notation as before is used and a represent the rotation due to 1 gram of the inversion products of raffinose, the following three equations hold ... 

The styryl iodonium salt (7 a) reacts slowly with acetic acid to give the E and Z isomeric products (8a) and (9a) in the ratio 85 15.3 The decenyl system (7b) is much more reactive and gives only the inversion product, the Z isomer (9b). It was suggested that the styryl system reacts in a two-step mechanism via the vinylene phenonium ion (10), whereas the decenyl system follows a one-step vinylic. S n2 mechanism, hi contrast, 2-bromo-l-decenyliodonium salt reacts with bromide ion in MeCN with complete retention.4 The observed rate constants show an unexpected dependence on [Br ], in accordance with a mechanism involving ligand coupling within a bromoiodane intermediate. 

Nucleophilic alkylation with Grignard reagents (mediated by Et2AlCl) on chiral perhydropyrido(2.1 A]pyrrolo[l,2-ii][l,3,4]oxadiazinc (25) proceeds via an 5 2 mechanism below — 80 °C, forming the inversion product (26) with high stereoselectivity.22 At higher temperatures the stereoselectivity shifts in favour of retention. 

As is the case in conventional solvents, competing radical and ionic processes (Scheme 4.8) were needed to explain the observed products and reaction kinetics in the decomposition of diacyl peroxides in sc C02 (Sigman et al., 1987). In addition to ArC02R and other products attributable to free-radicals, carboxy inversion products were observed, which result from ionization of the diacyl peroxide (Scheme 4.8). 

Ethylidenebicyclo[4.1.0]heptane (6%) was also obtained. 7-Ethylidene-l-methylbicyclo[4.1.0]heptane (17%) was also obtained. The following salts were tried as electrolytes TBAB, Et4NBr, LiCl. Product formation with both inversion and retention was observed. Product formation mainly with inversion. Product formation mainly with retention. 

When applied to the allenylsulfoxide (186), this reaction led to the product of stereospecific reduction (187) with very high retention of configuration [(187) / (188) = 97 3]. A ligand exchange pathway resulting in the formation of allenyllithium was excluded by the fact that protonation of the lithium salt of the allene of (187) [R = Li, R = Me] led only to the inversion product (188). 

As an alternative explanation one must consider that in the diradical intermediate 46, rotation around the tertiary radical site may be much slower than ring closure to form the inversion product.f Finally, as mentioned above, the 1,5 car-... 

Fast addressing is obtained when tpc and Vpjdxt minimized. These are conflicting requirements since a large value of Cgp reduces Vpj but increases tpc, while the opposite is true for large (see Equations 5.4.1 and 5.4.2). The inverse product of these parameters is a convenient combined figure of merit, F, given by... 

A clear pressure-dependent product ratio of the reaction shown in Scheme 9.21 was observed when chloroform was used as the solvent (Table 9.1). The ratio 59 60 (nitroso acetals 59a-b mono-adduct 60) changed from 1 1 at a pressure of 7 kbar to 3 1 at 12 kbar and 6 1 at 15 kbar. In dichloromethane the 59 60 ratio was not influenced by pressure (1 1 ratio from 7-12 kbar). An inverse product ratio (59 60 = 1 8) was obtained when acetone was used as solvent. Mono-adduct 60 was now formed predominantly. An attempt to further increase this ratio by applying a pressure of 15 kbar merely resulted in nitroalkene polymerization. At pressures below 8 kbar, conversion of the starting compounds was not complete, although mono-adduct 60 was always formed as the major product. At 8 kbar a similar product ratio of 59 60 = 1 4 was obtained when tetrahydrofuran was used as the solvent instead of acetone. Clearly, both the pressure and the solvent play a crucial role in the formation of the five-membered cyclic nitronate 60. 

The 1,2-trans azide 16 ean be obtained in crystalline form from 6-0-acetyl-3-azido-2,4-dibenzamido-2,3,4-trideoxy-a-D-glucopyranosyl chloride with LiNs in DMF." ° Both the acetylated anomeric azides of 2-deoxy-a-D-araZ)/ o-hexopyran-ose can be obtained by this approach however, reaction of the a-bromide 17 with azide must be performed at 5 °C, affording the inversion product 18 in excellent yield. Curiously, formation of the anomeric azide 20 from the bromide 19 was reported in only 45% yield. " ...
