Norbornene derivatives termination

In contrast to the above-mentioned cydoadditions, normal electron demand Diels-Alder reactions exclusively form products where the terminal C=C bond of the allene was attacked by the diene. For example, cydoaddition of N-allenylsulfeni-mide 281 with cydopentadiene (282) affords norbornene derivative 283 (Eq. 8.37) [148].

RRM processes can also be coupled with an additional CM event Such a scenario is depicted for a norbornene derivative in Scheme 2.18 [12a]. Domino ROM/RCM of 45 with the first-generation Gmbbs catalyst 1 in the presence of terminal olefin 46 yielded the bicyclic enone 47 as a 2 1 mixture of separable ( )- and (Z)-diastereomers. Subsequently, (E -47 was successfully advanced to the cytotoxic macrolactam (-l-)-cylindramide A in a straightforward manner. The enantiopure norbornene 45 was also used in a domino RRM/CM approach to the bicyclo[3.3.0]octene core of the macrolactam geodin A [12b]. 

A subsequent publication by Blechert and co-workers demonstrated that the molybdenum alkylidene 3 and the ruthenium benzylidene 17 were also active catalysts for ring-opening cross-metathesis reactions [50]. Norbornene and 7-oxanorbornene derivatives underwent selective ring-opening cross-metathesis with a variety of terminal acyclic alkenes including acrylonitrile, an allylsilane, an allyl stannane and allyl cyanide (for example Eq. 34). 

A few examples are known using homogeneous transition-metal-catalyzed additions. Rhodium(III) and iridium(III) salts catalyze the addition of dialkylamines to ethylene.302 These complexes are believed to activate the alkene, thus promoting hydroamination. A cationic iridium(I) complex, in turn, catalyzes the addition of aniline to norbornene through the activation of the H—N bond.303 For the sake of comparison it is of interest to note that dimethylamino derivatives of Nb, Ta, and Zr can be used to promote the reaction of dialkylamines with terminal alkenes.304 In this case, however, C-alkylation instead of /V-alkylation occurs. 

Formally the reaction combines the ring opening of norbornene, RCM with the terminal double bond and CM with a second alkene. The domino metathesis involving an allylsilyl derivative has been used as a step in the synthesis of (-)-halosaline [69] and (-)-indolizidine [90]. 

The intermediacy of palladacycles in the reaction of bromobenzene with norbornene in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 as catalyst and KOAc as a base in anisole as solvent was initially suggested by the isolation, among other products, of two compounds (Eq. 9), the former resulting from norbornene insertion into an alkylpalladium bond, the latter clearly deriving from palladium migration from the alkyl to the aryl site and double norbornene insertion. In both cases the termination step involved p,y-C-C bond cleavage followed by P-H elimination. The stereochemistry of the norbornane unit invariably was exo [19]. 

The reaction is an important synthetic route to triazolines and their derivatives [5-7] such as cycUc imines or aziridines and is hence a valuable technique in the synthesis of heterocycles [8]. The reaction rate is dependent on the dipolarophile. Whereas strained olefins, such as norbornene, react readily, terminal alkenes react extremely slowly [9]. 

Besides the condensation PI, there have been two new types of addition Pi s ethynl (acetylenic) and norbornene (nadic) end-capped PI. The acetylene-terminated PI (ATI) was first reported by Bilow and co-workers (52) and the nadic-terminated PI (NTI) (Pig. 8) was derived from the work of Lubowitz (33). An NTI prepared at NASA Langley Center has been designated as LARC-13 (34). When LARC-13 was compared with ATI as the adhesive for titanium, the lap shear...

A solution to the steric bulk of the macromonomers is grafting from where polymerizations occur from the functionalized side chains of the ROMP-generated backbone. The copolymerization of propylene with 4mol% GOD yielded terminal vinyl groups off the main polymer chain resulting from the addition of the GOD. Attachment of the catalyst at the vinyl group via olefin metathesis enabled ROMP of nor-bomene derivatives from the polyolefin backbone.In a grafting from approach, norbornene monomers with covalently attached ATRP initiators were copolymerized with ester-functionalized norbomenes to form the polymeric backbone. The ATRP of acrylic acid successfully yielded the brush polymer.
