Propargylic (or 2-alkynyl) compounds are derivatives of alkynes. However, Pd-catalyzed reactions of propargylic derivatives, particularly esters and halides, are very different mechanistically from those of simple alkynes, except in a few cases. Therefore, the reactions of propargylic esters and halides are treated in this section separately from those of other alkynes. However, some reactions of propargylic alcohols, which behave similarly to simple alkynes, are treated in Section 6. 

Among several propargylic derivatives, the propargylic carbonates 3 were found to be the most reactive and they have been used most extensively because of their high reactivity[2,2a]. The allenylpalladium methoxide 4, formed as an intermediate in catalytic reactions of the methyl propargylic carbonate 3, undergoes two types of transformations. One is substitution of cr-bonded Pd. which proceeds by either insertion or transmetallation. The insertion of an alkene, for example, into the Pd—C cr-bond and elimination of/i-hydrogen affords the allenyl compound 5 (1.2,4-triene). Alkene and CO insertions are typical. The substitution of Pd methoxide with hard carbon nucleophiles or terminal alkynes in the presence of Cul takes place via transmetallation to yield the allenyl compound 6. By these reactions, various allenyl derivatives can be prepared. 

Another reaction occurs by the attack of a soft nucleophile at the central carbon to form the 7r-allylpalladium complex 7, which undergoes further reaction with the nucleophile typical of rr-allylpalladium complexes to form the alkene 8, 

Once Ct has been obtained, one can return to AH+ by two different routes  

Interestingly, in some cases, such as when starting from Ct at pH 6, the same result (AH+) is obtained regardless of the order in which light excitation (365 nm) and pH-jump (pH = 1) take place. In other cases, however, this is not true. For exam- 

A network of processes governed by external inputs can be used as a model system151,58,591 for understanding the chemical basis of complex biological sys-tems.160,611 

Synthetic flavylium compounds can exist in several forms (multistate), which can be interconverted by more than one type of external stimulus (multifunctional). The intricate network made up by their reactions, when examined from the viewpoints of molecular level devices and molecular level logic functions , reveals that these systems exhibit very interesting properties.

Reaction Patterns and Various Allylic Compounds Used for Catalytic Reactions... 

An important method for construction of functionalized 3-alkyl substituents involves introduction of a nucleophilic carbon synthon by displacement of an a-substituent. This corresponds to formation of a benzylic bond but the ability of the indole ring to act as an electron donor strongly influences the reaction pattern. Under many conditions displacement takes place by an elimination-addition sequence[l]. Substituents that are normally poor leaving groups, e.g. alkoxy or dialkylamino, exhibit a convenient level of reactivity. Conversely, the 3-(halomethyl)indoles are too reactive to be synthetically useful unless stabilized by a ring EW substituent. 3-(Dimethylaminomethyl)indoles (gramine derivatives) prepared by Mannich reactions or the derived quaternary salts are often the preferred starting material for the nucleophilic substitution reactions. 

As was the case with reactions of vinylindoles, the most elaborate synthetic targets approached by the indole-2,3-quinodimethane route have been alka-loids[18]. The route has been applied to aspidospenna[l9 ] and kopsine[20] structures. The fundamental reaction pattern is illustrated in equation 16.7. An indole-2,3-quinodimethane is generated by W-acylation of an Ai-(pent-4-enyl)-imine of a 2-methyl-3-formylindole. Intramolecular 2 -P 4 cydoaddition then occurs. 

The [3,3] sigmatropic reaction pattern is quite general for other systems that incorporate one or more heteroatoms in place of carbon in the 1,5-hexadiene unit. The... 

Atoms and free radicals are highly reactive intermediates in the reaction mechanism and therefore play active roles. They are highly reactive because of their incomplete electron shells and are often able to react with stable molecules at ordinary temperatures. They produce new atoms and radicals that result in other reactions. As a consequence of their high reactivity, atoms and free radicals are present in reaction systems only at very low concentrations. They are often involved in reactions known as chain reactions. The reaction mechanisms involving the conversion of reactants to products can be a sequence of elementary steps. The intermediate steps disappear and only stable product molecules remain once these sequences are completed. These types of reactions are refeiTcd to as open sequence reactions because an active center is not reproduced in any other step of the sequence. There are no closed reaction cycles where a product of one elementary reaction is fed back to react with another species. Reversible reactions of the type A -i- B C -i- D are known as open sequence mechanisms. The chain reactions are classified as a closed sequence in which an active center is reproduced so that a cyclic reaction pattern is set up. In chain reaction mechanisms, one of the reaction intermediates is regenerated during one step of the reaction. This is then fed back to an earlier stage to react with other species so that a closed loop or... 

The involvement of a chalcogen atom in an intramolecular interaction may influence the reactivity of the chalcogen centre as a result of steric or electronic effects. This feature may lead to unique reaction patterns. Eor example, the sulfur(II) centre involved in an intramolecular contact... 

The whole reaction pattern of the thiophene-1,1-dioxides is thus characteristic of unsaturated, and not of aromatic, compounds. 

Organometallic nucleophilic reagents change the reaction pattern drastically. 

In the first of these, the key step in the synthetic sequence involves an oxidative phenol coupling reaction patterned after the biosynthesis of the natural product. Preparation of the moiety that is to become the aromatic ring starts by methyla-tion of phloroglucinol (5) with methanolic hydrogen chloride to give the dimethyl ether (6). Treatment of that intermediate with sulfuryl chloride introduces the chlorine atom needed in the final product (7). 

The effect of common-anion salts and of added water showed, however, that ionic chain carriers must also be present in these systems. These observations, coupled with experiments where dilute solutions of the monomers were treated with excess of acid and the reactions followed by ultraviolet spectroscopy, produced sufficient information about the initiation reaction pattern and thus completed the overall kinetic and mechanistic approach. 

Currently allergic reactions are classified into four types on the basis of different reaction patterns. Whereas types I—III are dependent on antibodies, the type IV reaction is mediated by cellular immune reactions. 

A clean first-order process may erroneously appear to be a biphasic one, and vice versa. If the distortion to the property-time curve is not so evident as in the example, there might be a smooth rise or fall from reactant to product. The linearity of the plot of In (Y, - Kcc) versus time depends on the end point reading Yr.. One must be cautious, however, in ascribing a mildly curved plot of In Y, - W) versus time to a biphasic pattern. Were the observed value of Yx off by a small amount, a simple adjustment could give a straight-line plot indicative of first-order kinetics. Of course, if Tec is adjusted to force linearity, one must surely ask whether the revised value of Yx represents a reasonable extrapolation of the data, lest the proper but more complex reaction pattern be concealed. 

The surprising stability of N-heterocyclic carbenes was of interest to organometallic chemists who started to explore the metal complexes of these new ligands. The first examples of this class had been synthesized as early as 1968 by Wanzlick [9] and Ofele [10], only 4 years after the first Fischer-type carbene complex was synthesized [2,3] and 6 years before the first report of a Schrock-type carbene complex [11]. Once the N-heterocyclic ligands are attached to a metal they show a completely different reaction pattern compared to the electrophilic Fischer- and nucleophilic Schrock-type carbene complexes. 

A further modification of the same reaction pattern has been described [83] starting from the /f-hydroxyamide 128 that cycUzed in the presence of DIG and Cu(OTf)2 under microwave irradiation at 100-175 °C within 5-15 min to give compound 129 (Scheme 45). 

Another effective radical cascade strategy started from bromomethyldi-methylsilyl propargyl ethers. " The synthesis of functionalized cyclopenta-none 108 was achieved as a single diastereomer, starting from the reduction of bromoderivative 107 in the presence of (TMSlaSiH (Reaction 83). When different substituents are used in the skeleton, as in compound 109, a completely different reaction pattern resulted (Reaction 84).
