Ketones models

Clearly these predictions do not agree with the results (Table 5) and it seems that despite the low spin density on oxygen, the perturbation model is unsatisfactory. Presumably the approach used for the nitrocompounds is better and for those who like to visualize valence bond structures the ketone model...

In another study [42] polystryrene was naphthoylated to give poly(a-naphthoyl-lityrene) and poly(jS-naphthoylstyrene). The solution photoisomerization of stilbene oy the polymer was found to be identical with that resulting from the use of the cor-] esponding ethylnaphylphenyl ketone models. Moser and Cassidy [43] found earlier but reported in an obscure manner that poly(phenyl vinyl ketone) caused the photoisomerization of cw-piperylene. The isomerization proceeded both in solution and by use of solid polymer. The remarkable effect of the solid was attributed to rapid diffusion of c/ -piperylene to the polymer surface.

An adequate prediction of multicomponent vapor-liquid equilibria requires an accurate description of the phase equilibria for the binary systems. We have reduced a large body of binary data including a variety of systems containing, for example, alcohols, ethers, ketones, organic acids, water, and hydrocarbons with the UNIQUAC equation. Experience has shown it to do as well as any of the other common models. V7hen all types of mixtures are considered, including partially miscible systems, the... 

Tire results of a study of the effect of these catalysts on the model Diels-Alder reaction of methyl vinyl ketone (4.8) with cyclopentadiene (4.6) are summarised in Table 4.1... 

In the reaction of Q,/3-unsaturated ketones and esters, sometimes simple Michael-type addition (insertion and hydrogenolysis, or hydroarylation, and hydroalkenylation) of alkenes is observed[53,54]. For example, a simple addition product 56 to methyl vinyl ketone was obtained by the reaction of the heteroaromatic iodide 55[S5]. The corresponding bromide affords the usual insertion-elimination product. Saturated ketones are obtained cleanly by hydroarylation of o,/3l-unsaturated ketones with aryl halides in the presence of sodium formate, which hydrogenolyses the R—Pd—I intermediate to R— Pd—H[56]. Intramolecular hydroarylation is a useful reaction. The diiodide 57 reacts smoothly with sodium formate to give a model compound for the afla-toxin 58. (see Section 1.1.6)[57]. Use of triethylammonium formate and BU4NCI gives better results.

T[[dotb]he nature of the initial attack by the water (eq. 10) is a matter of some controversy (205,206). Stereochemical and kinetic studies of model systems have been reported that support trans addition of external water (207,208) or internal addition of cis-coordinated water (209), depending on the particular model system under study. Other paHadium-cataly2ed oxidations of olefins ia various oxygen donor solvents produce a variety of products including aldehydes (qv), ketones (qv), vinyl acetate, acetals, and vinyl ethers (204). However the product mixtures are complex and very sensitive to conditions. 

By changing from the simplest to larger aliphatic and cyclic ketones, structural factors may be introduced which favor alternative unimolecular primary photoprocesses or provide pathways to products not available to the simple model compound. In addition, both the increase in molecular size and irradiation in solution facilitate rapid vibrational relaxation of the electronically excited reactant as well as the primary products to thermally equilibrated species. In this way the course of primary and secondary reactions will also become increasingly structure-selective. In a,a -unsym-metrically substituted ketones, the more substituted bond undergoes a-cleavage preferentially. 

Thus, the model compound 5a, 6a-epoxy-6j -methyltigogenin acetate (103) affords 3)5-hydroxy-6)5-methyl-10(5 6)crZ)eo-(25S)-spirostan-5-one acetate (104) in 90 % yield. As expected, the j9-acetoxy ketone (104) loses the elements of acetic acid on passing through a column of alumina to give 6)5-methyl-10(5 -> 6)-flZ>eo-(25S)-spirost-3-en-5-one (105). 

Hydride reduction (with LiAlH4 or NaBH4) of each of the following ketones has been reported in the chemical literature and gives a mixture of two diastereomeric alcohols in each case. Give the structures or build molecular models of both alcohol products for each ketone. 

The reactivity of aldehydes and ketones toward cyanide may be influenced by the steric and/or electronic properties of the carbonyl substituents, X. Examine spacefilling models of formaldehyde (X=H), acetone (X=Me), and benzophenone (X=Ph). Which compound offers the least steric hindrance to nucleophilic attack The most ... 

By application of Cram s rule or a more recent model on the reactivity of a-chiral aldehydes or ketones, a prediction can be made, which stereoisomer will be formed predominantly, if the reaction generates an additional chiral center. 

Ketones react with alcohols to yield products called acetals. Why does the all-cis isomer of 4- cvf-butyl-l13-cyclohexanediol react readily with acetone and an acid cataty st to form an acetal while other stereoisomers do not react In formulating your answer, draw the more stable chair conformations of all four stereoisomers and the product acetal. Use molecular models for help. 

The following molecular model represents a tetrahedral intermediate resulting from addition of a nucleoph ile to an aldehyde or ketone. Identify the reactants, and write the structure of the final product when the nucleophilic addition reaction is complete. 

When 2-methylcyclohexanone is converted into an enamine, only one product is formed despite the fact that the starting ketone is unsymmetrical. Build molecular models of the two possible products, and explain the fact that the sole product is the one with the double bond away from the methyl-substituted carbon. 

Model calculations generally support Felkin s hypothesis35-38. However, an additional controlling factor is the stabilization of the transition state by the approach of the nucleophile antiperiplanar to a vicinal bond35. In the transition state for axial attack (Figure 8), the incipient bond is approximately antiperiplanar to two axial C — H bonds. Flattening of the ring improves this antiperiplanarity and, therefore, the more flattened the cyclic ketone, the more axial attack is preferred. 

In accord with the Felkin-Anh model, a-chiral ketones react more diastereoselectively than the corresponding aldehydes. Increasing steric demand of the acyl substituent increases the Cram selectivity. Due to the size of the acyl substituent, the incoming nucleophile is pushed towards the stereogenic center and therefore the diastereoface selection becomes more effective (see also Section 1.3.1.1.). Thus, addition of methyllithium to 4-methyl-4-phenyl-3-hexanonc (15) proceeds with higher diastercoselectivity than the addition of ethyllithium to 3-methyl-3-phenyl-2-pen-tanone (14)32.
