Ozonolysis propene

Bieber reported that the reaction of bromoacetates is greatly enhanced by catalytic amounts of benzoyl peroxide or peracids and gives satisfactory yields with aromatic aldehydes. A radical chain mechanism, initiated by electron abstraction from the organometallic Reformatsky reagent, is proposed (Scheme 8.27).233 However, an alternative process of reacting aldehydes with 2,3-dichloro-l-propene and indium in water followed by ozonolysis provided the Reformatsky product in practical yields.234 An electrochemical Reformatsky reaction in an aqueous medium and in the absence of metal mediator has also been reported.235... 

The incremental reactivity of a VOC is the product of two fundamental factors, its kinetic reactivity and its mechanistic reactivity. The former reflects its rate of reaction, particularly with the OH radical, which, as we have seen, with some important exceptions (ozonolysis and photolysis of certain VOCs) initiates most atmospheric oxidations. Table 16.8, for example, also shows the rate constants for reaction of CO and the individual VOC with OH at 298 K. For many compounds, e.g., propene vs ethane, the faster the initial attack of OH on the VOC, the greater the IR. However, the second factor, reflecting the oxidation mechanism, can be determining in some cases as, for example, discussed earlier for benzaldehyde. For a detailed discussion of the factors affecting kinetic and mechanistic reactivities, based on environmental chamber measurements combined with modeling, see Carter et al. (1995) and Carter (1995). 

When one or both alkene carbons contain two alkyl groups, ozonolysis generates one or two ketones. The ozonolysis of 1,2-dimethyl propene produces both 2-propanone (a ketone) and ethanal (an aldehyde). 

Indium-mediated Barbier-type reaction of glyoxal monoacetal with bromomethyl acrylonitrile or bromomethyl-acrylate gives a masked a-hydroxy aldehyde (Equation (48)).91 The reaction of 3-bromo-2-chloro-l-propene, an aldehyde, and indium in water gives the corresponding homoallyl alcohol, which upon ozonolysis in methanol furnishes a / -hydroxy ester. The overall reaction is equivalent to the Reformatsky reaction, which cannot be realized by a direct indium-mediated reaction of an ct-halo ester with an aldehyde in water (Scheme 59).235... 

This reaction was carried out with labeled isobutylene (l- C-2-methyl-l-propene, (CH3)2C-= CH2), and the methallyl chloride contained was collected, purihed, and subjected to ozonolysis. Formaldehyde (H2C—O) and chloroacetone (CICH2COCH3) were obtained all (97% or more) of the radioactivity was present in the chloroacetone. 

The absence of methylacetate as a product in the ozonolysis of 2-methyl-propene is interpreted in terms of a "non-Criegee" mechanism (Sander) ... 

The formation of the low molecular weight compounds CO, CO2, H2, propene, ketene, methanol and methyl hydroperoxide can be explained by the decomposition of biradicals as shown in Chapter 2, Fig. 13. In view of the atmospheric relevance of the ozonolysis of alkenes, especially the influence of water vapour on the reaction mechanism and the product formation needs careful investigation. Under such conditions heterogeneous effects cannot be neglected and large-scale reaction chambers would be useful to account for such effects. 

The ozonolysis of simple alkenes was studied in two different apparatus a 2 litre stirred tank reactor (for ethene, propene, fran.y-2-butene, butadiene, and isoprene) coupled via molecular beam sampling to a matrix isolation FTIR set-up [20, 21], and a 570 L spherical glass vessel "big sphere" (for ethene, 2-butene isomers, isobutene, and isoprene) where products were identified by Fl lR spectroscopy, GC and a scrubber sampling unit for analysis with HPLC (for peroxides) and IC (for organic acids). In the latter system, two extreme humidity conditions, one with 0.5 ppm and the other with 2 x 10" ppm (corresponding to ca. 60 % relative humidity at 298 K) were used, which are referred to as "dry" and "wet" conditions, respectively. Results of the studies performed in the "big sphere" are summarised here. 

Ozonolysis of propene-l-ii, and propene-2-d gave the kn/kjj values shown in Figure 6.88. What do these results suggest about the s)anmetry of the transition structure for the addition of ozone to propene ... 

There are several strategies that involve the use of transition metal catalysts in addition to the Mukaiyama reaction. Reaction of leucinal with 1,3-butanediol gave a mixture of 6.115 (in 9% yield) and 6.116 (in 71% yield). After the chromatographic separation of 6.116, the titanium tetrachloride catalyzed reaction with 3-trimethylsilyl-l-propene gave 6.117. Ozonolysis and oxidation gave lactam 6.118, which was converted to 6.101a in five steps (overall yield was 32% from 6.117). 

The following isotope effects are found for the ozonolysis of various deuterium-substituted propenes. What do these isotope effects tell you about the mechanism ... 

The absence of a long-lived radical or ionic intermediate during the ene reaction was nicely demonstrated by Sublett and Bowman,who condensed propene-l- " C with MA. The adduct so formed, 62, was hydrolyzed and the product 63 was found to have an activity of 5.48 0.01 mCi/mole. Ozonolysis of 63 followed by oxidation gave 3-carboxyglutaric acid 64 with an activity of 5.45 0.01 mCi/mole as shown in the scheme below. It was also shown...

The ozonolysis of 2-propen-l-ol was investigated by Grosjean and Grosjean (1995) and Le Person et al. (2009) see figure II-D-4. In both studies, the major products observed are formaldehyde and glycolaldehyde with approximately the same yields ( 50% each). 

The overall mechanisms for reaction of O3 and NO3 with 2-buten-l-ol are similar to those with 2-propen-l-ol described previously. O3 will add to the C=C bond resulting in formation of a trioxide which decomposes to form two carbonyl compounds and two biradicals. Grosjean and Grosjean (1995) reported acetaldehyde and glycolaldehyde as major products from the ozonolysis of 2-buten-l-ol with formation yields of (64 6)% and (79 18)%, respectively. Formaldehyde was also observed as a product (23 7)%, its formation involves the reactions of biradicals (CH3CHOO and HOCH2COO).
