While the usual eonsequence of hydration of enamines is eleavage to a secondary amine and an aldehyde or ketone, numerous cases of stable carbinolamines are known (102), particularly in examples derived from cyclic enamines. The selective terminal hydration (505) of a cross-conjugated dienamine-vinylogous amide is an interesting example which gives an indication of the increased stabilization of the vinylogous amide as compared to simple enamines, which is also seen in the decreased nucleophilicity of the conjugated amino olefin-carbonyl system. 

Diels-Alder cycloadditions of enaminothiones with electrophilic die-nophiles (83AHC145, section III,G) have been widely used for the preparation of various thiopyran derivatives. In addition to expected 2H-thiopyrans, 4//-isomers were trapped as intermediates or even as final products. Nitroolefines (90T1951), olefinic carbonyl derivatives [80JH405 85JOC1545 92JCS(P1)2603] allenedicarboxylic esters... 

Additions include the attachment of two univalent atoms or groups (called addends) to an unsaturated system, e. g., to olefins, carbonyl groups, aromatic systems, carbenes, etc. (Rule 2.1). For example, the addition of hydrocyanic acid to the car-... 

Low-coordinate species of the main group elements of the second row such as carbenes, olefins, carbonyl compounds (ketones, aldehydes, esters, amides, etc.), aromatic compounds, and azo compounds play very important roles in organic chemistry. Although extensive studies have been devoted to these species not only from the physical organic point of view but also from the standpoints of synthetic chemistry and materials science, the heavier element homologues of these low-coordinate species have been postulated in many reactions only as reactive intermediates, and their chemistry has been undeveloped most probably due to... 

These complexes anchored to a solid via a ligand have been tested for a number of reactions including the hydrogenation, hydroformylation, hydrosilylation, isomerization, dimerization, oligomerization, and polymerization of olefins carbonylation of methanol the water gas shift reaction and various oxidation and hydrolysis reactions (see later for some examples). In most cases, the characterization of the supported entities is very limited the surface reactions are often described on the basis of well-known chemistry, confirmed in some cases by spectroscopic data and elemental analysis. 

The Fukuyama indole synthesis involving radical cyclization of 2-alkenylisocyanides was extended by the author to allow preparation of2,3-disubstituted derivatives <00S429>. In this process, radical cyclization of 2-isocyanocinnamate (119) yields the 2-stannylindole 120, which upon treatment with iodine is converted into the 2-iodoindole 121. These N-unprotected 2-iodoindoles can then undergo a variety of palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions such as reaction with terminal acetylenes, terminal olefins, carbonylation and Suzuki coupling with phenyl borate to furnish the corresponding 2,3-disubstituted indoles.

In the hydroboration of terminal alkenes, carrying a ketone or aldehyde group, with a variety of borane reagents, dicyclohexylborane has been identified as the most efficient reagent. Analogous hydroboration of alkynyl ketones and alkynyl aldehydes with dicyclohexylborane yields the corresponding olefinic carbonyl compounds after protonation, or dicarbonyl compounds after oxidation. ... 

Unmodified poly(ethyleneimine) and poly(vinylpyrrolidinone) have also been used as polymeric ligands for complex formation with Rh(in), Pd(II), Ni(II), Pt(II) etc. aqueous solutions of these complexes catalyzed the hydrogenation of olefins, carbonyls, nitriles, aromatics etc. [94]. The products were separated by ultrafiltration while the water-soluble macromolecular catalysts were retained in the hydrogenation reactor. However, it is very likely, that during the preactivation with H2, nanosize metal particles were formed and the polymer-stabilized metal colloids [64,96] acted as catalysts in the hydrogenation of unsaturated substrates. 

An excellent review of the problems of the enantioselective heterocatalytic hydrogenation of prochiral double bonds, covering the literature up to 1970, has been compiled by Izumi57). Raney nickel catalysts modified with chiral amino acids or dipeptides gave only very moderate enantiomeric excesses of between 0 and 10% in the hydrogenation of olefins, carbonyl compounds or oximes 57). Only Raney nickel modified with (S)-tyrosine furnished a higher enantiomeric excess in the products58).
