Carbenes were the latecomers to the company of stable examples of organic reaction intermediates. The 100 anniversary of Gomberg s discovery of the stable triphenylmethyl radical was celebrated in 2000, and Gomberg and others were familiar with the triphenylmethyl carbocation by 1910. Stable anions derived from hydrocarbons like the fluorenyl anion were being investigated by Conant and McEwan in the decade 1930-40, but the first isolable species which might be considered to be carbenes were not reported until 1988 by Bertrand... 

No mechanistic aspects of organic chemistry (or, for this reason, any reaction intermediates) were ever mentioned by Zemplen in his lectures or writings, nor did he consider or accept their existence. I never heard him mention the names of Meerwein, Ingold, Robinson, or any other pioneers of the mechanistic electronic theory of organic chemistry. The possible role of organic ions was similarly never mentioned. He was. 

A common application of the direct calculation of molecular energy is the study of organic reaction mechanisms. You can investigate the energies of different potential intermediates, species not easily studied by experiment. A review by Thiel lists many such 39. Thiel, W. Semiempirical Methods Current Status and Perspectives Tetrahedron, 44 7393, 1988. 

The pharmaceutical industry employs ozone in organic reactions to produce peroxides as germicides in skin lotions, for the oxidation of intermediates for bacteriostats, and in the synthesis of steroids (qv) such as cortisone (see Disinfectants and antiseptics). Vitamin E can be prepared by ozonation of trimethyUiydroquinone. 

Propylene oxide [75-56-9] (methyloxirane, 1,2-epoxypropane) is a significant organic chemical used primarily as a reaction intermediate for production of polyether polyols, propylene glycol, alkanolamines (qv), glycol ethers, and many other useful products (see Glycols). Propylene oxide was first prepared in 1861 by Oser and first polymerized by Levene and Walti in 1927 (1). Propylene oxide is manufactured by two basic processes the traditional chlorohydrin process (see Chlorohydrins) and the hydroperoxide process, where either / fZ-butanol (see Butyl alcohols) or styrene (qv) is a co-product. Research continues in an effort to develop a direct oxidation process to be used commercially. 

OrganothaHium(III) derivatives can be classified into three types R3TI, R2TIX, and RTIX2. The trialkyl derivatives are reactive, unstable compounds, whereas the dialkyl derivatives are among the most stable and least reactive organometaHic compounds. The monoalkyl compounds are rather unstable and often caimot be isolated. They are important intermediates in some Tl(III)-promoted organic reactions. 

NMR spectroscopy is veiy widely used for detection of intermediates in organic reactions. Proton magnetic resonance is most useful because it provides the greatest... 

The formation of alcohols by acid-catalyzed addition of water to alkenes is a fundamental organic reaction. At the most rudimentary mechanistic level, it can be viewed as involving a carbocation intermediate. The alkene is protonated, and the carbocation is then captured by water.

Obviously, there are many good reasons to study ionic liquids as alternative solvents in transition metal-catalyzed reactions. Besides the engineering advantage of their nonvolatile natures, the investigation of new biphasic reactions with an ionic catalyst phase is of special interest. The possibility of adjusting solubility properties by different cation/anion combinations permits systematic optimization of the biphasic reaction (with regard, for example, to product selectivity). Attractive options to improve selectivity in multiphase reactions derive from the preferential solubility of only one reactant in the catalyst solvent or from the in situ extraction of reaction intermediates from the catalyst layer. Moreover, the application of an ionic liquid catalyst layer permits a biphasic reaction mode in many cases where this would not be possible with water or polar organic solvents (due to incompatibility with the catalyst or problems with substrate solubility, for example). 

Lead(IV) acetate cleaves organic diols such as 2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-dimethylbutane in aqueous solution to give ketones. Write the overall reaction for the following proposed mechanism and identify any reaction intermediates ... 

Carbocations as reactive intermediates play an essential role in organic reactions and have been thoroughly researched 102, l0J). The individual quality of the cationic polymerization results from the reproduction of the cationic reactive intermediate in every propagation step during the addition of monomers. 

The Diels-Alder cycloaddition is the best-known organic reaction that is widely used to construct, in a regio- and stereo-controlled way, a six-membered ring with up to four stereogenic centers. With the potential of forming carbon-carbon, carbon-heteroatom and heteroatom-heteroatom bonds, the reaction is a versatile synthetic tool for constructing simple and complex molecules [1], Scheme 1.1 illustrates two examples the synthesis of a small molecule such as the tricyclic compound 1 by intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction [2] and the construction of a complex compound, like 2, which is the key intermediate in the synthesis of (-)chlorothricolide 3, by a combination of an intermolecular and an intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition [3].
