Example Anoth er example of Iron tier orbital theory uses the reaction ol phenyl-butadiene with ph en ylethylene. This reaction is a [4-1-21 pericyclic addition to form a six-membered ring. It could proceed with the two phenyl rings close to each other (head to head) or further away front each other (head to tail). 

Some thiophenolate monolayers also have been investigated. Thiophenolate, C H S—, forms ordered monolayers on Ag(lll) with a (/7 X v, 88°)R40.9°, and benzene rings closely packed in face-to-face stacked columns (294). Benzylthiolate (295),/xpyridinethiolate (296), and (9-pyridinethiolate (296), also form ordered monolayers on Ag(lll), but with fewer close-packed aromatic rings. 

Section 5.10.3.2). Treatment of methyl 6-phthalimido penicillinate (jR)-sulfoxide (40) with JV-chlorosuccinimide in refluxing carbon tetrachloride gives an epimeric mixture of sulfinyl chlorides (41) which are ring closed to epimeric 3-methylenecepham sulfoxides (42a) using tin(IV) chloride. Reduction with phosphorus tribromide gives the desired methyl 7-phthalimido-3-methylenecepham 4-carboxylate (42b). 

Excessive wear ring (closed impeller) or cover-case clearance (open impeller). 

The salts of some enamines crystallize as hydrates. In such cases it is possible that they are derived from either the tautomeric carbinolamine or the amino ketone forms. Amino ketone salts (93) ( = 5, 11) can serve as examples. The proton resonance spectra of 93 show that these salts exist in the open-chain forms in trifluoroacetic acid solution, rather than in the ring-closed forms (94, n = 5, 11). The spectrum of the 6-methylamino-l-phenylhexanone cation shows a multiplet at about 2.15 ppm for phenyl, a triplet for the N-methyl centered at 7.0 ppm and overlapped by signals for the methylene protons at about 8.2 ppm. The spectrum of 93 ( = 11) was similar. These assignments were confirmed by determination of the spectrum in deuterium oxide. Here the N-methyl group of 93 showed a sharp singlet at about 7.4 ppm since the splitting in —NDjMe was much reduced from that of the undeuterated compound. 

Mechanistically, the reaction of diketosulfides and glyoxal likely proceeds via an initial aldol reaction to provide 22. A second intramolecular aldol reaction and the elimination of two equivalents of water produce the thiophene 23. The timing of the elimination reactions and the ring-closing, carbonyl condensation reaction is not completely understood. However, 2,5-disubstituted thiophenes 23 are available in good yields via this process. 

Trimethylpyrimidine and phenacyl bromide give a salt which on further heating ring-closed to 49, but 2,4-dimethylpyrimidine does not react with phenacyl bromide. 

Another type of thione in which quaternization occurs readily is that possessing a dipolar, or meso-ionic, structure. Two examples have been reported recently. The ring-closed product obtained from the... 

On neutralization, the ring-opened species slowly ring-closes again. At 20°, for the ring-opened substance from pteridine, the first-order rate constant is about 10 sec. ... 

Another transformation of this type is a conversion of the ring-closed form 393 to the derivative of aroylhydrazone of acetylacetone 394 (Scheme 145) (81KK1165 92KK1184). 

Ring-opening is not a mandatory direction of the complexation reaction. Thus, the ring-closed form of the benzothiazoline 395 ligand was found to be preserved in its complex 396 with BuSnCla, whose structure was determined with X-rays (Scheme 146) [93JOM(454)67].

R = H, R =Br, R" =Et) was prepared by cyclization of aroylacetate 314 (R = H, R =Br, r2 = H, X = F) (OOMIPIO). 9,10-Difluoro-3(5)-methyl-7-oxo-7//-pyrido[l,2,3- /e]-l,4-benzoxazine-6-carboxylic acid and its racemic form were prepared in the reaction of ethyl 2-(2,3,4,5-tetrafluorobenzoyl)-2-ethoxymethyleneacetate and (R)- or (i ,5)-2-aminopropanol and subsequent hydrolysis of the ring closed tricyclic esters (98MI45). Cyclization of ethyl 2-(2,3-difluoro-5-iodobenzoyl)-2-[A-(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethylene]acetate 315 in the presence of K2CO3 in DMF at 95 °C for 3.5 h yielded 9-iodo-7-oxo-2,3-dihydro-7//-pyrido[l,2,3- /e]-l,4-benzoxazine-6-carboxylate (01MIP2). 

Intramolecular cycloadditions of substrates with a cleavable tether have also been realized. Thus esters (37a-37d) provided the structurally interesting tricyclic lactones (38-43). It is interesting to note that the cyclododecenyl system (w = 7) proceeded at room temperature whereas all others required refluxing dioxane. In each case, the stereoselectivity with respect to the tether was excellent. As expected, the cyclohexenyl (n=l) and cycloheptenyl (n = 2) gave the syn adducts (38) and (39) almost exclusively. On the other hand, the cyclooctenyl (n = 3) and cyclododecenyl (n = 7) systems favored the anti adducts (41) and (42) instead. The formation of the endocyclic isomer (39, n=l) in the cyclohexenyl case can be explained by the isomerization of the initial adduct (44), which can not cyclize due to ring-strain, to the other 7t-allyl-Pd intermediate (45) which then ring-closes to (39) (Scheme 2.13) [20]. While the yields may not be spectacular, it is still remarkable that these reactions proceeded as well as they did since the substrates do contain another allylic ester moiety which is known to undergo ionization in the presence of the same palladium catalyst. 

When a mixture of alkenes 1 and 2 or an unsymmetrically substituted alkene 3 is treated with an appropriate transition-metal catalyst, a mixture of products (including fi/Z-isomers) from apparent interchange of alkylidene moieties is obtained by a process called alkene metathesis. With the development of new catalysts in recent years, alkene metathesis has become a useful synthetic method. Special synthetic applications are, for example, ring-closing metathesis (RCM) and ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROM) (see below). 

The reversal of ring-closing metathesis, namely ring-opening metathesis, is also a synthetically useful reaction. With strained (small-ring) cycloalkenes, e.g. 12, the equilibrium of the reaction lies on the side of the open-chain product 13 ... 

An intramolecular variant of the Stille coupling is suitable for the construction of macrocycles. An example is the ring-closing step to form a 14-membered lactone ring 8 in a synthesis of zearalenone as reported by Stille et al. ... 

Acyclic diene molecules are capable of undergoing intramolecular and intermolec-ular reactions in the presence of certain transition metal catalysts molybdenum alkylidene and ruthenium carbene complexes, for example [50, 51]. The intramolecular reaction, called ring-closing olefin metathesis (RCM), affords cyclic compounds, while the intermolecular reaction, called acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization, provides oligomers and polymers. Alteration of the dilution of the reaction mixture can to some extent control the intrinsic competition between RCM and ADMET. 

Disrotatory (Section 30.2) A term used to indicate that p orbitals rotate in opposite directions during electrocvclic ring-opening or ring closing. 

Partial reduction of the acetylenes 1 over 10 % palladium on barium sulfate yields the ra-alkenes 2 which ring close spontaneously to the 3//-2-benzazepines 3.78 Reduction with Raney nickel is less successful and produces mixtures of the 3-benzazepines and their 4,5-dihydro derivatives.
