Olefins aralkyl

Butadiene has been co-oxidized with a number of aralkyl hydrocarbons and cyclic olefins. The order of increasing reactivity toward butadieneperoxy radicals (X—02—C H602) is cumene, sec-butylbenzene < cyclooctene < cyclohexene... 

The reactivities in abstraction toward the ROo radicals correlate poorly with the methyl data. For example, toward R02 radicals the cyclic olefins and Tetralin are as reactive as cumene (within a factor of about 2), while toward CH3 , Tetralin and cumene are at least 10 times more reactive than the cyclic olefins. This apparent lack of selectivity in abstraction by the peroxy radical is no doubt related to the factors controlling the selectivity in addition but to some degree is a function of the reactants. The peroxy radical appears to show a somewhat more typical selectivity (8, 18) toward a broad selection of aralkyl hydrocarbons, although the changes in exothermicity are more significant in this series.

Electrochemical reduction of aryl halides in the presence of olefins (94), (equation 54) leads to the formation of arylated products (95). Electroreduction of several aralkyl halides at potentials ranging from -1.24 V to -1.54 V (see) gives products which involve dimerization, cyclization, and reduction to the arylalkanes. Carbanions and/or free radicals were again postulated as intermediates79. Aryl radicals generated from the electrochemical reduction of aryl halides have been added to carbon-carbon double bonds80,81. Electrochemical reduction of aryl halides in the presence of olefins leads to the formation of arylated products78. Preparative scale electrolyses were carried out in solvents such as acetonitrile, DMF and DMSO at constant potential or in liquid ammonia at constant current. The reaction is proposed to involve an S l mechanism. 

Pocker also reported that hydrogen chloride can induce the ionisation of aralkyl chlorides in media where the hydrogen dichloride anion is a relatively stable entity, i.e., nitromethane nitrobenzene and benzene Such situations would therefore be expected to give olefin polymerisation in the presence of Lewis acids, owing to the higher lifetime of the carbocations formed as intermediate, but as we shall see this is not always observed experimentally.

The ZnX and CoX catalysts described in Section J,1 function as dehydrogenation catalysts for olefins, alkylaromatics, and aralkyl-amines. Activity was enhanced by the addition of NH3 to the reactants. As shown in Table XXXVIII, small amounts of butadiene were formed... 

The Rh(l)-catalysed asymmetric hydrogenation of various olefins (dehydroamido acids, enamides, itaconates, and acrylates) was studied in the presence of a wide range of enantiopure R-SMS-Phos = l,2-bis[(o-RO-phenyl)(phenyl) phosphino]ethane ligands where R was either branched or heteroatom-substituted alkyl, aralkyl, silyl, acyl, sulfonyl, and so on. The results indicated that the reaction rates increased by several times, with increased enantioselectivities, and this system was therefore better than DiPAMP = l,2-bis[(o-anisyl)(phenyl)phosphino]ethane ligand. ... 

A novel way of studying a partially reacted polydiene is to deconnpose it in a metathesis reaction with a small olefin then to separate and identify the low molecular weight products by standard methods such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. This method has been applied to polybuta-1,4-diene partially aralkylated or hydrobrominated, to confirm the structure and position of the substituents. " The small olefin was oct-4-ene and the metathesis was promoted by a WCU/Sn(CH3)4 catalyst. The products of such a metathesis breakdown are, of course, dependent also on the nature and distribution of double bonds within the parent polymer. ... 

Kooyman s investigation utilized the relative rates of hydrogen abstraction from a series of aralkyl compounds (and one olefin) by the trichloromethyl radical ( ). The experimental results are shown in Table I. 

A wide range of dithioester RAFT agents has been reported. Common examples of mono-RAFT agents and their application are provided in Tables 11 (Z = aryl) and 13 (Z = alkyl or aralkyl). RAFT agents can contain various unprotected functionality on the R fragment of dithiobenzoate including hydroxy, carboxylic acid/carboxylate, sulfonic acid/sulfonate, olefin, and siloxane. Examples of bis- and multi-dithioester RAFT agents (Z=aryl) that may be used for triblock or star synthesis are shown in Tables 12 and 22, respectively. Bis-dithioesters can be used to synthesize triblock copolymers in a two-step process. 

Full details have been published of the use of chldrofluoromethylenetri-phenylphosphorane, generated in situ from sodium dichlorofluoroacetate and triphenylphosphine or from dichlorofluoromethane, potassium t-butoxide, and triphenylphosphine, in the synthesis of olefins of the type RfRC CFC1 (Rp = perfluoroalkyl or CFuCl R = alkyl, aryl, or aralkyl) from appropriate ketones. ... 

Because many aralkyl olefins form fairly stable, colored carbonium ions which allow the study of olefin-carbinol-carbonium ion equilibria, they have been subjected to careful scrutiny (84,85,90,142,152). We have already (II-D,E) shown how the olefin-carbonium ion system may be used to derive the acidity function from (Hb-Oh,o)...
