BUchi has used Mander s approach as a key step in his synthesis of a-sinensal (212 Scheme 50), and Corey has applied the ylidic 3,2-rearrangement to the efficient preparation of 3-cyclopentenones. Thus, base treatment of the sulfonium salt (213) first gave the rearranged product (215). Thermal vinylcyclo-propane ring expansion then produced the spiro compound (216). Deprotection finally gave the noncon-jugated cyclopentenone (217 Scheme 51). 

The low yield of 11 is probably a consequence of the endo orientation of the dimethyleyelo-propane ring in transition state E. Formation of cyclodecadiene 13 occurs by rotation of transition state F to give transition state G followed by protonation. Cyclodecadiene 13 is also obtained in the rearrangement of diastereomer 8 via transition state I. 

The assumption that there were sufficiently favourable conditions for the participation of the cyclopropane edge could not be verified since the 7-spiro-cyclo-propane ring in the 2-endo-tosyloxy-norbomane 633 and the 2-endo-tosyloxy-benzonorbornene 634 fails to exert an essential effect on the rate of solvolysis. 

Ignition was achieved with a propane ring burner centered in the transverse flue below the second tier test commodity. The heat release rate of the burner was approximately 45 kW.

Joining two heteroatoms to a ring by radical combination is not presently a common route to heterocycles. It might become more important if the art of metal-catalyzed redox reactions keeps advancing at the present pace. Current examples are the conversion of 1,5-dithiols to 1,2-dithiepanes by oxidants such as FeCla, and the oxidation of 1,3-propane-bis-hydrazines to 1,2,3,4-tetrazepines (Sections 5.18.4.1 and 5.18.10.1). 

If the boiler burns propane, natural gas, or fuel oil, then you ll need fluorocarbon o-rings on your fuel lines, valves, instrumentation and fittings. 

An illustration of the tendency of alkane 1,2- and alkane-1,3-dicarboxylie acids to a ring closure during the reaction with sulfur tetrafluoride is the reaction of propane-1,2,3-tricarboxylie acid The corresponding six- and five-membered cyclic ethers are formed in a 1 4 ratio [211] (equation 106)... 

Due to the abundance of epoxides, they are ideal precursors for the preparation of P-amino alcohols. In one case, ring-opening of 2-methyl-oxirane (18) with methylamine resulted in l-methylamino-propan-2-ol (19), which was transformed to 1,2-dimethyl-aziridine (20) in 30-35% yield using the Wenker protocol. Interestingly, l-amino-3-buten-2-ol sulfate ester (23) was prepared from l-amino-3-buten-2-ol (22, a product of ammonia ring-opening of vinyl epoxide 21) and chlorosulfonic acid. Treatment of sulfate ester 23 with NaOH then led to aziridine 24. ... 

The isoxazoline ring is also readily cleaved by such reducing agents as do not affect the isoxazole ring. Thus, for example, the treatment of isoxazolines (186) with LiAlHj proceeds with a smooth cleavage of the heterocyclic ring to form substituted 3-amino-propan->l-ols... 

Reaction of the cyclopropyl-substituted pivalate (25) with dimethyl benzylidenema-lonate in the presence of a palladium catalyst gave a mixture of alkylidenecyclo-propane (26) and vinylcyclopropane (27). The ratio of these two adducts is found to be quite sensitive to the choice of ligand and solvent. While triisopropyl phosphite favors the formation of the methylenecyclopropane (26), this selectivity is completely reversed with the use of the bidentate phosphite ligand dptp (12). Interestingly there was no evidence for any products that would have derived from the ring opening of the cyclopropyl-TMM intermediate (Scheme 2.8) [18]. 

The procedure outlined is much quicker and simpler than previous methods Starting materials are readily available, and the preparation can be run on any scale in the length of a day. Because exclusion of a basic catalyst eliminates the Wolff-Kishner reduction of the cinnamalhydrazone, separation of the 5-phenylpyrazoline from cinnamalhydrazone, or of phenylcyclopropane from propenylbenzene, does not have to be effected. The present procedure can also be used to convert other ring-substituted cinnamaldehydes to the corresponding arylcyclo-propanes...
