Monosubstituted substrates

Due to electronic deactivation of the substrate, hydrodechlorination of the dichlorophenol is discriminated in comparison to the monosubstituted substrate. 

As underlined above, formation of these compounds by halogenation of dialkyl esters of 1,2-alkadienephosphonic acids is the major direction of the reaction. Even in the case of dialkyl esters of propadienephosphonic acid, some 1,2-oxaphosphole derivatives could be detected [86], On using sulfuryl chloride as electrophilic reagent, only 3,3-disubstituted- and 3-monosubstituted substrates could be transformed in oxaphosphole derivatives [39], Thus, the main role of the substituent at the C3 atom of the allenephosphonate system, for the formation of 2,5-dihydro-l,2-oxa-phosphole-2-oxide derivatives, was demonstrated. 

The formation of a branched chiral product from the alkylation of monosubstituted substrates is not limited to the catalysis of metals described thus far. Allylic alkylation reactions catalyzed with rhodium [211] and iridium [212] complexes have been shown to occur at the more... 

For both unsubstituted and substituted methylenecyclopropanes in each case, the type B product is formed. For the ring-monosubstituted substrates, the regiochemical outcome is dependent on the nature of the substituent. Surprisingly, the orientation of the substituent in the products is predominantly endo. The catalyst system comprises Ni(cod)2 and triphenylphos-phane in equimolar amounts, along with 0.1-1 molar equivalent (with respect to the cyclopen-tenone) of triethylborane. 

If the attack of the nucleophile occurs before the thermodynamic syn-anti equilibration, the different reactivities of syn and anti positions in each complex can be used to control the regiochemical outcome. This is the case for highly reactive nucleophiles, such as chelated enolates, that lead to regiodivergent products 16 or 17 starting from monosubstituted substrates ( )T5 or (Z)-15, respectively (Scheme 12.8) [17a]. 

Compared to the reactions of such disubstituted aromatic substrates, the transformation of monosubstituted substrates (X H, Y = H) involving C—H bond cleavage is more attractive from the atom- and step-economical points of view. Thus, the catalytic transformation of readily available substrates, including iodobenzenes (X = I,... 

Jacobsen also showed that 2,2-disubstituted epoxides underwent kinetic resolution catalyzed by (salen)Cr-N3 complex 3 under conditions virtually identical to those employed with monosubstituted epoxides (Scheme 7.34) [64]. Several epoxides in this difficult substrate class were obtained with high ees and in good yields, as were the associated ring-opened products. The kinetic resolution of TBS-... 

Recently, a kinetic study has been made of the substitution of diazotised sulphanilic acid in the 2 position of 4-substituted phenols under first-order conditions (phenol in excess) in aqueous buffer solutions at 0 °C131a. A rough Hammett correlation existed between reaction rates and am values, with p about -3.8 however, the point for the methoxy substituent deviated by two orders of magnitude and no explanation was available for this. The unexpectedly low p-factor was attributed to the high reactivities of the aromatic substrates, so that the transition state would be nearer to the ground state than for reaction of monosubstituted benzene derivatives.

In 2006, these workers successfully expanded the previous study to several acyclic and cyclic allylic substrates (Scheme 1.17)." In all cases, the best enantioselectivity (up to 91% ee) was obtained by using the ligand that contained the more bulky sulfur substituent (t-Bu). The methodology was also applied to monosubstituted acyclic substrates but, however, this ligand proved to be inadequate in terms of regioselectivities, whereas a good enantioselectivity of up to 89% ee was obtained. 

To understand the interdependence of the creation of the two chiral centers relative to each other and to the sulfoxide, monosubstituted vinyl sulfoxides (S)-53 and (S)-54 were prepared and reduced with BH3-THF under the same conditions (Scheme 5.19). Both the 2- and 3-phenyl substituted substrates gave the chiral products 54 and 55 with complete stereo specificities dictated by the configuration of the starting sulfoxides. These results again were unexpected and indicated that both hydrogens were delivered solely directed by the chiral sulfoxide. This was not consistent with the mechanism in which the chirality of the initially formed chiral center at the 3-postion dictates the chirality of the subsequently formed chiral center at the 2-position. 

Macomber, using monosubstituted at C3 atom of the alkadienephosphonate system substrates [54], employed the same reaction (Scheme 15). 

Similar compounds were prepared by the same method, from the reaction of sulfuryl chloride and dichlorides of 1,2-alkadienephosphonic acids. It is noteworthy to emphasize that, in this case, 2,5-dihydro-l,2-oxaphosphole-2-oxide derivatives were isolated, even when 3-monosubstituted allenephosphonate were used as substrates (Scheme 32) [39, 85],... 

A route to processible polyacetylene, devised initially using classical initiators (Scheme 1i) 576-578 has been developed using well-defined molybdenum initiators to prepare conjugated polymers.579-585 They have also been employed to prepare polyacetylene via the polymerization of cyclooctate-traene, COT,586 and by the isomerization of poly(benzvalene).587 588 Substituted, and hence soluble, polyacetylene derivatives may be synthesized by polymerizing monosubstituted COT substrates.589-591... 

Hydrazones are also useful substrates in the preparation of pyrazoles. Reaction of N-monosubstituted hydrazones with nitroolefins led to a regioselective synthesis of substituted pyrazoles <060L3505>. lf/-3-Ferrocenyl-l-phenylpyrazole-4-carboxaldehyde was achieved by condensation of acetylferrocene with phenylhydrazine followed by intramolecular cyclization of the hydrazone obtained under Vilsmeier-Haack conditions <06SL2581>. A one-pot synthesis of oxime derivatives of l-phenyl-3-arylpyrazole-4-carboxaldehydes has been accomplished by the Vilsmeier-Haack reaction of acetophenone phenylhydrazones <06SC3479>. 

Subsequent mechanistic studies suggested that the abovementioned effect of ethylene on reaction efficiency is connected to a mechanistic divergence that exists for reactions of terminal styrenyl ethers versus those of disubstituted styrene systems [13b]. Whereas with monosubstituted styrenyl substrates the initial site of reaction is the terminal alkene, with disubstituted styrene systems the cyclic ji-systems react first. This mechanistic scenario suggests two critical roles for ethylene in the catalytic reactions of disubstituted styrenes ... 

As substrates, pyrrolotetrazoles 12 and 13 have been used in a variety of electrophilic substitutions. It has been observed that with the exception of bromination, monosubstitution (acetylation, benzoylation, carbamoylation, formylation, azo coupling, nitrosation, and reaction with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD)) occurs preferentially at C-5, if the 5- and 7-positions are both available. Upon bromination, double substitution occurs at C-5 and C-7 with the same substrates. It has further been observed that substitution at C-7 occurs only if C-5 is occupied <2001J(P1)729>. 

Evaluation of the only appropriate Fukui function is required for investigating an intramolecular reaction, as local softness is merely scaling of Fukui function (as shown in Equation 12.7), and does not alter the intramolecular reactivity trend. For this type, one needs to evaluate the proper Fukui functions (/+ or / ) for the different potential sites of the substrate. For example, the Fukui function values for the C and O atoms of H2CO, shown above, predicts that O atom should be the preferred site for an electrophilic attack, whereas C atom will be open to a nucleophilic attack. Atomic Fukui function for electrophilic attack (fc ) for the ring carbon atoms has been used to study the directing ability of substituents in electrophilic substitution reaction of monosubstituted benzene [23]. In some cases, it was shown that relative electrophilicity (f+/f ) or nucleophilicity (/ /f+) indices provide better intramolecular reactivity trend [23]. For example, basicity of substituted anilines could be explained successfully using relative nucleophilicity index ( / /f 1) [23]. Note however that these parameters are not able to differentiate the preferred site of protonation in benzene derivatives, determined from the absolute proton affinities [24],... 

For the addition of ethylene, EtOAc as solvent was particularly advantageous and gave 418 in 60% yield (Scheme 6.86). The monosubstituted ethylenes 1-hexene, vinylcyclohexane, allyltrimethylsilane, allyl alcohol, ethyl vinyl ether, vinyl acetate and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone furnished [2 + 2]-cycloadducts of the type 419 in yields of 54—100%. Mixtures of [2 + 2]-cycloadducts of the types 419 and 420 were formed with vinylcyclopropane, styrene and derivatives substituted at the phenyl group, acrylonitrile, methyl acrylate and phenyl vinyl thioether (yields of 56-76%), in which the diastereomers 419 predominated up to a ratio of 2.5 1 except in the case of the styrenes, where this ratio was 1 1. The Hammett p value for the addition of the styrenes to 417 turned out to be -0.54, suggesting that there is little charge separation in the transition state [155]. In the case of 6, the p value was determined as +0.79 (see Section 6.3.1) and indicates a slight polarization in the opposite direction. This astounding variety of substrates for 417 is contrasted by only a few monosubstituted ethylenes whose addition products with 417 could not be observed or were formed in only small amounts phenyl vinyl ether, vinyl bromide, (perfluorobutyl)-ethylene, phenyl vinyl sulfoxide and sulfone, methyl vinyl ketone and the vinylpyri-dines.
