In the proposed mechanism shown in Scheme 59, possible involvement of five organo-lithium species is considered. According to this scheme, formation of not one but two allenes should be possible. It has indeed been demonstrated that either of the two possible allenes can be obtained selectively from the same starting compounds by choosing either w-BuLi or LDA as a base165 (Scheme 60). The use of LDA promotes the 1,3-Li shift. Promotion of the 1,3-Li shift can also be realized by using HMPA as an additive166. 

The transitions are (1) active site reorganization, (2) formation of the ternary product complex, and (3) product (Pi) release. In this scheme, formation of the chemical transition state occurs at step 2, and the reorganization of the switch segments that lead to effector release occurs in steps 2 and 3. It is probable that the trajectory is more complex, but the scheme serves as a basis for discussion of the data at hand. 

The full scheme for conversion is presented in Figure 4. In this scheme, formate is partitioned between reaction with coal, and a hydrogen ion transfer reaction with water to yield formic acid. 

Schemes. Formation of tri-and tetrasubstituted olefins. Scheme 6. Examples of synthetic applications.

We will describe these methods illustrating their complementarity with respect to the skills and the equipment available in the laboratory where the SP pool library must be prepared, but most of all with respect to the specific synthetic scheme, format, and size that are planned for each library. 

Scheme . Formation of bridged and chelating species exemplarily shown for tetrakis(2-hydroxyethyl)-orthosilicate.

A scheme for bicyclic dimer formation from HMCTSN under plasma conditions has been proposed in our previous paper (J.) According to this scheme, formation of new Si-N bonds with tertiary nitrogen between trisilazane rings leads to crosslinking of the polymer, and involves the production of hydrocarbons such as methane and ethane. Indeed, gas chromatographic analysis of the gaseous residue after plasma polymerization has shown that it consists mainly of three hydrocarbons methane, ethane and ethylene in the 5 33 4 ratio.

The catalytic version of allylation of nucleophiles via 7r-allylpaUadium intermediates was discovered in 1970 using allylic esters and aUyl phenyl ethers as substrates (Scheme Formation of 7r-allylpaUadium complexes by oxidative addition of various allylic compounds to Pd(0) and subsequent reaction of electrophilic rr-allylpalladium complexes with soft carbon nucleophiles are the basis of the catalytic allylation. After the reaction, Pd(0) is regenerated, which undergoes oxidative addition to the allylic compounds again, making the whole reaction catalytic. The efficient catalytic cycle is ascribed to the characteristic feature that Pd(0) is more stable than Pd(II). Allylation of carbon nucleophiles with allyhc compounds via TT-allylpalladium complexes is called the Tsuji-Trost reaction. The reaction has wide synthetic applications, particularly for cyclization.

The key assmnption in the scheme is that the Ti-CH CH species is unique in that it is relatively stable. This stability may arise from a strong P-agostic interaction between the hydrogen atom of the methyl group and the Ti atom. Other Ti-alkyl species proposed in the scheme do not possess this stability. In this scheme, formation of the Ti-CH CH species occurs as a result of an ethylene insertion reaction into the T-H bond or after a chain transfer reaction with ethylene.

To summarize, such a scheme seems to be sirffident for the estimation of Cp° and S°, but does not give sufficiently accurate values for the heat of formation, AHf. 

In order to develop a quantitative interpretation of the effects contributing to heats of atomization, we will introduce other schemes that have been advocated for estimating heats of formation and heats of atomization. We will discuss two schemes and illustrate them with the example of alkanes. Laidler [11] modified a bond additivity scheme by using different bond contributions for C-H bonds, depending on whether hydrogen is bonded to a primary (F(C-H)p), secondary ( (C-H)g), or tertiary ( (C-H)t) carbon atom. Thus, in effect, Laidler also used four different kinds of structure elements to estimate heats of formation of alkanes, in agreement with the four different groups used by Benson. 

Another scheme for estimating thermocheraical data, introduced by Allen [12], accumulated the deviations from simple bond additivity in the carbon skeleton. To achieve this, he introduced, over and beyond a contribution from a C-C and a C-H bond, a contribution G(CCC) every time a consecutive arrangement of three carbon atoms was met, and a contribution D(CCC) whenever three carbon atoms were bonded to a central carbon atom. Table 7-3 shows the substructures, the symbols, and the contributions to the heats of formation and to the heats of atomization. 

Table 7.3. The Allen scheme substructures, notations, and contributions to heats of formation and heats of atomization (values in kj/mol).

Any one of these additivity schemes can be used for the estimation of a variety of thermochemical molecular data, most prominently for heats of formation, with high accuracy [13]. A variety of compilations of thermochemical data are available [14-16]. A computer program based on Allen s scheme has been developed [17, 18] and is included in the PETRA package of programs [19]. 

Until now, we have discussed the use of additivity schemes to estimate global properties of a molecule such as its mean molecular polarizability, its heat of formation, or its average binding energy to a protein receptor. 

Heats of reaction Heats of reaction can be obtained as differences between the beats of formation of the products and those of the starting materials of a reaction. In EROS, heats of reaction arc calculated on the basis of an additivity scheme as presented in Section 7.1. With such an evaluation, reactions under thermodynamic control can be selected preferentially (Figure 10.3-10). 

The difference between an MM calculation of the enthalpy of formation and a bond energy scheme comes in the steric energy, which was shown in Eile 4-3. The sum of compression, bending, etc. energies is the steric energy, E = 2.60 kcal mol in Eile 4-3. This is added to BE, as is the partition function energy contribution (see below), PCE = 2.40 kcal moP, to yield...

The FMO coefficients also allow cpralitative prediction of the kinetically controlled regioselectivity, which needs to be considered for asymmetric dienes in combination with asymmetric dienophiles (A and B in Scheme 1.1). There is a preference for formation of a o-bond between the termini with the most extreme orbital coefficients ... 

Recently Desimoni et used the same bis(oxazoline) ligand in the magnesium(II) catalysed Diels-Alder reaction of the N-acyloxazolidinone depicted in Scheme 3.4. In dichloromethane a modest preference was observed for the formation of the S-enantiomer. Interestingly, upon addition of two equivalents of water, the R-enantiomer was obtained in excess. This remarkable observation was interpreted in terms of a change from tetrahedral to octahedral coordination upon the introduction of the strongly coordinating water molecules. 

The zeroth-order rates of nitration depend on a process, the heterolysis of nitric acid, which, whatever its details, must generate ions from neutral molecules. Such a process will be accelerated by an increase in the polarity of the medium such as would be produced by an increase in the concentration of nitric acid. In the case of nitration in carbon tetrachloride, where the concentration of nitric acid used was very much smaller than in the other solvents (table 3.1), the zeroth-order rate of nitration depended on the concentrationof nitric acid approximately to the fifth power. It is argued therefore that five molecules of nitric acid are associated with a pre-equilibrium step or are present in the transition state. Since nitric acid is evidently not much associated in carbon tetrachloride a scheme for nitronium ion formation might be as follows ... 

Davies and Warren" found that when 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene was treated with nitric acid in acetic anhydride, and the mixture was quenched after 34 hr, a pale yellow solid with an ultraviolet spectrum similar to that of a-nitro-naphthalene was produced. However, if the mixture was allowed to stand for 5 days, the product was i-methyl-4 nitromethylnaphthalene, in agreement with earlier findings. Davies and Warren suggested that the intermediate was 1,4-dimethyl-5 nitronaphthalene, which underwent acid catalysed rearrangement to the final product. Robinson pointed out that this is improbable, and suggested an alternative structure (iv) for the intermediate, together with a scheme for its formation from an adduct (ill) (analogous to l above) and its subsequent decomposition to the observed product. 

Since (A) does not contain any other functional group in addition to the formyl group, one may predict that suitable reaction conditions could be found for all conversions into (A). Many other alternative target molecules can, of course, be formulated. The reduction of (H), for example, may require introduction of a protecting group, e.g. acetal formation. The industrial synthesis of (A) is based upon the oxidation of (E) since 3-methylbutanol (isoamyl alcohol) is a cheap distillation product from alcoholic fermentation ( fusel oils ). The second step of our simple antithetic analysis — systematic disconnection — will now be exemplified with all target molecules of the scheme above. For the sake of brevity we shall omit the syn-thons and indicate only the reagents and reaction conditions.
