This process can be used with advantage for the preparation of conjugated nitroalkenes from nitroalkanes. It is of interest because the majority of known synthetic methods for generating nitroalkenes, the skeletons of target molecules, are generally assembled from simpler molecules (104). 

Scheme 14.34. Stereoselective preparation of conjugated dienes by the titanocene(ll)-promoted reaction of thioacetals with alkynes.

The preparation of conjugated diene complexes will be presented by groups. In addition, isomerization reactions, or degenerate rearrangements with activation energies >25 kcalmol-1, will be considered in this section. 

The tellurolate-promoted anfi -debromination by method G is extended to the preparation of conjugated dienes, starting from 1,2,3,4-tetrabromoalkanes and cycloalkanes, 1, 4-dibromo-2-aIkenes and aUylic dibromides. ... 

The preparation of conjugated dienes from pyridines is exemplified by the transformation of 2-picoline into the sex pheromone (669) of Lobesia botrana, a major pest of vineyards (Scheme 154) (80TL67). Thus, the lithio salt of 2-picoline was alkylated by 2-(5-chloropentyl-oxy)tetrahydropyran, the resulting pyridine (665) N-methylated, and the pyridinium salt reduced by sodium borohydride. Quaternization of the 1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (666) and Hofmann elimination gave the (7 , 9Z)-undecadien-l-ol (667) as the sole isomer. Protection of the alcohol and treatment of the corresponding ammonium salt (668) of the amine with lithium dimethylcuprate gave pure (669) after hydrolysis, acetylation and HPLC purification. 

The method is readily adapted for the preparation of conjugates starting with between 20 and 50 mg of antibody by using columns of the same length but increased id (2.6 cm) and an ultrafiltration cell with 50 mL capacity For preparations using less than 5 mg of antibody, HPLC gel filtration apparatus is more suitable for purification purposes...

However, the particular synthetic requirements in the preparation of conjugated polymers have thus far severely limited the number of similarly hierarchically structured examples. Pu et al. reported different types of conjugated polymers with fixed main-chain chirality containing binaphthyl units in their backbone which exhibited, for example, nonlinear optical activity or were used as enantioselective fluorescent sensors [42—46]. Some chirally substituted poly(thiophene)s were observed to form helical superstructures in solution [47-51], Okamoto and coworkers reported excess helicity in nonchiral, functional poly(phenyl acetylenejs upon supramolecular interactions with chiral additives, and they were able to induce a switch between unordered forms as well as helical forms with opposite helical senses [37, 52, 53].
