The aziridination works for both aromatic and aliphatic olefins, including less active linear terminal olefins. Most reactions proceed in good yield at room temperature. The use of ci.v-stilbene at 0°C gives predominately cis aziridine product in about 90 10 cis trails ratio (Table 6.1). The conservation of cis structure suggests that a discrete silver nitrene intermediate is involved in the reaction path. Because of the unique disilver structure and unlikely formation of a silver(III) species, the authors suspect that a bridged nitrene intermediate between the two silver atoms may be responsible for this transformation in which each silver atom donates one electron to the nitrenoid. However, further research is necessary to prove this hypothesis and a fast radical reaction mechanism cannot be eliminated on the basis of current evidence. 

Carbon forms two common oxides, CO and CO2. It also forms a third (very uncommon) oxide, carbon suboxide, C3O2, which is linear. The structure has terminal oxygen atoms on both ends. Write the Lewis formula for C3O2. 

Structure (ATO) gives a product distribution that is dominated by adipic acid. This is thought to result because the narrower channels inhibit the release of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone and the reaction proceeds further to the more mobile linear products, such as adipic acid. Selectivity is also observed in the aerial oxidation of linear alkanes. If the reaction is performed over large-pore solids, w-alkanes are oxidised preferentially at carbon atoms at C2 and C3 positions in the chain, in accordance with the C-H bond strengths at these positions. If a small-pore structure such as CoAPO-18 is used, however, the product selectivity favours Cl oxyfunctionalised products. The synthesis of terminally oxidised alkanes would be of use for many applications, because linear terminal alcohols could be prepared from alkane feedstocks, rather than from a-olefins (via hydroformylation). 

Catalyst and olefin feed are the key to what type of alcohols are formed. The industrially relevant catalysts employed are cobalt carbonyP or cobalt carbonyl/tert-phosphine complexes. " In the hydroformylation of an olefin, linear terminal aldehydes are formed along with other isomeric 2-alkyl-branched aldehydes as noted in the structures in Figure 6.8. 

Bifunctional monomers produce linear macromolecules, whereas polyfunctional monomers create a ramified (crosslinked) structure. Linear polymers are represented only by the repeating structural units, because the terminal moieties are not relevant. As an example, polyethylene is represented as shown in Fig. 2.6. In this formula n represents the degree of polymerisation. It is calculated by the ratio between the molecular weight of polymer and molecular weight of the monomer. 

The enzymes have several putative transmembrane domains (TMD). This is consistent with previous microscopic and biochemical data indicating that cellulose synthase is an integral membrane protein and that cellulose biosynthesis occurs at the plasma membrane (Mueller and Brown, Jr. 1980 Ross et al. 1991 Brown, Jr. et al. 1996 Delmer 1999). Visible by electron microscopy, the enzymes form large linear terminal complexes in the plasma membrane of bacteria and many algae whereas they form hexagonal rosette structures in higher plants and some algae (Mueller and Brown, Jr. 1980 Ross et al. 1991 Kimura et al. 1999). Delmer (1999) has speculated that the transmembrane domains may create a... 

It is well known that the rosette and linear terminal complexes (TCs) can be observed by the freeze-fracture replication technique. The structures revealed by this technique are known as putative cellulose-synthesizing TCs. Kimura et al. (1999) demonstrated that TCs in vascular plants contain cellulose synthases using a novel technique of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-solubilized freeze fracture replica labeling (SDS-FRL). The localization of the cellulose synthase to the TC was accomplished almost 40 years after the hypothesis of Roelofsen (1958) in which he stated that enzyme complexes could be involved in cellulose biosynthesis. It has been more than 30 years since the discovery of the first TC by Brown, Jr. and Montezinos (1976) and in particular, 26 years after the discovery of rosette TCs in plants by Mueller and Brown, Jr. (1980). 

The [3] and [5] cumulenes have a linear structured Their terminal double bonds are 0.02 A shorter than in cumulenes with straight numbered carbon atoms. Therefore the shown mesomeric structures can contribute to the observed reactions. 

Acyclic C5. The C5 petroleum feed stream consists mainly of isoprene which is used to produce rubber. In a separate stream the linear C5 diolefin, piperylene (trans and cis), is isolated. Piperylene is the primary monomer in what are commonly termed simply C5 resins. Small amounts of other monomers such as isoprene and methyl-2-butene are also present. The latter serves as a chain terminator added to control molecular weight. Polymerization is cationic using Friedel-Crafts chemistry. Because most of the monomers are diolefins, residual backbone unsaturation is present, which can lead to some crosslinking and cyclization. Primarily, however, these are linear acyclic materials. Acyclic C5 resins are sometimes referred to as synthetic polyterpenes , because of their similar polarity. However, the cyclic structures within polyterpenes provide them with better solvency power and thus a broader range of compatibility than acyclic C5s.
