Insertion of a ketocarbene moiety into a C—O bond of orthoesters is normally performed with catalysis by BF3 Et20. Copper(II) trifiouromethanesulfonate was found to be a similarly efficient catalyst also, at least in some cases, whereas Rh2(OAc)4 was much less suited to promote this transformation l60). Besides the C/O insertion product 343, the alcohol insertion product 344 and, in reactions with ethyl diazoacetate, the formal carbene dimers were obtained. In agreement with BF3 EtzO, Cu(OTf)2 did not bring about insertion into a C—O bond of trimethyl... 

Metal oxides possess multiple functional properties, such as acid-base, redox, electron transfer and transport, chemisorption by a and 71-bonding of hydrocarbons, O-insertion and H-abstract, etc. which make them very suitable in heterogeneous catalysis, particularly in allowing multistep transformations of hydrocarbons1-8 and other catalytic applications (NO, conversion, for example9,10). They are also widely used as supports for other active components (metal particles or other metal oxides), but it is known that they do not act often as a simple supports. Rather, they participate as co-catalysts in the reaction mechanism (in bifunctional catalysts, for example).11,12... 

Attack of silver (I) ion, on the other hand, leads to a reversed regioselectivity, presumably through attack on the a-electrons of the cyclopropyl ring. This raises the question of whether such o-insertions are generally mediated by transition metals with cycloproparenes. 

The major groups of acyclic organic peroxides may be obtained by successively substituting H atoms in H2O2 with alkyl, aryl, acyl, alkoxycarbonyl or heteroatom substituents (Figure 3). A formal O insertion into the 0—0 bond provides polyoxides, i.e. compounds with at least three O atoms in a row. Substituents R have the potential to modify the...

A key aspect of metal oxides is that they possess multiple functional properties acid-base, electron transfer and transport, chemisorption by a and 7i-bonding of hydrocarbons, O-insertion and H-abstraction, etc. This multi-functionality allows them to catalyze complex selective multistep transformations of hydrocarbons, as well as other catalytic reactions (NO,c conversion, for example). The control of the catalyst multi-functionality requires the ability to control not only the nanostructure, e.g. the nano-scale environment around the active site, " but also the nano-architecture, e.g. the 3D spatial organization of nano-entities. The active site is not the only relevant aspect for catalysis. The local area around the active site orients or assists the coordination of the reactants, and may induce sterical constrains on the transition state, and influences short-range transport (nano-scale level). Therefore, it plays a critical role in determining the reactivity and selectivity in multiple pathways of transformation. In addition, there are indications pointing out that the dynamics of adsorbed species, e.g. their mobility during the catalytic processes which is also an important factor determining the catalytic performances in complex surface reaction, " is influenced by the nanoarchitecture. 

Data reported in the present work demonstrate that the degree of crystallinity and the acid properties are related the amount of present at the surface of VPP. When the VPP is not fully equilibrated, and hence may contain discrete amounts of it is more selective to MA and less to PA. The reason is that in oxidized catalysts, the olefmic intermediate is preferentially oxidized to MA, rather then being subjected to the acid-catalyzed condensation with a second unsaturated molecule, to yield the precursor of PA. When instead the catalyst is more crystalline, and hence it does contain less oxidized V sites, its surface acid properties predominate over O-insertion properties, and the catalyst becomes more effective in PA formation. In this case, the selectivity to PA at 50% n-pentane conversion becomes comparable to that one of MA. 

CO is a representative species for n.o-insertion its insertion into C—Pd bonds affords acylpalladium complexes such as 15. Mechanistically, the CO insertion is 1.2-alkyl migration to coordinated CO. This is an important step in carbonylation. SO , isonitriles, and carbenes are other species which undergo a.a-insertion. 

The only function of interest in the given context is w(Ar). The stability question is then answered if the rate, w(A), has been found to be positive or negative at any value of k or wavelength A of the perturbation. The validity of this argument is due to the linearized differential equations, for which we know their solutions can be superposed. Negative w(A) means that 0- O for t- o°. Insertion of Eqns. (11.16) and (11.17) into the transport equation and the boundary condition yields an implicit equation for w(k). If we use the following transformations to express w and tin terms of the characteristic parameters Dv and v of the system, namely... 

Ab initio study of the insertion of SiH2 into the C—O and O—H bonds of methanol revealed that a complex is formed in which SiH2 is coordinated to O245. Formation of the complex was found to be exothermic by 19.9 kcalmol-1 at MP2/6-31G //HF/6-31G with barriers for rearrangements to the O—H and C—O insertion products of 0.6 and 20.5 kcalmol-1, respectively. 

Scheme IV. Two possible outcomes for the adsorbed OMME intermediate. Along the upper channel ethylene epoxide (EO) is formed through O insertion (ring closure). Along the lower channel a H migration step leads to an acetaldehyde (AcH) intermediate, which subsequently reacts to yield CO2 and H2O.
