Synthesis 1,4-addition reactions with

The stereochemical outcome of the Michael addition reaction with substituted starting materials depends on the geometry of the a ,/3-unsaturated carbonyl compound as well as the enolate geometry a stereoselective synthesis is possible. " Diastereoselectivity can be achieved if both reactants contain a stereogenic center. The relations are similar to the aldol reaction, and for... 

The synthesis of polyhalide salts, R4NX , used in electrophilic substitution reactions, are described in Chapter 2 and H-bonded complexed salts with the free acid, R4NHX2, which are used for example in acid-catalysed cleavage reactions and in electrophilic addition reactions with alkenes, are often produced in situ [33], although the fluorides are obtained by modification of method I.I.I.B. [19, 34], The in situ formation of such salts can inhibit normal nucleophilic reactions [35, 36]. Quaternary ammonium chlorometallates have been synthesized from quaternary ammonium chlorides and transition metal chlorides, such as IrClj and PtCl4, and are highly efficient catalysts for phase-transfer reactions and for metal complex promoted reactions [37]. 

The successful synthesis of 2-thienyl and substituted 2- and 3-thienyl-acetylenes in yields as high as 60-80% opened a wide variety of synthetic applications. Various addition reactions with carbonyl compounds or epoxides could be carried out with ease. Aliphatic as well as aromatic amine addition reactions, or condensation reactions with hydrazine or hydroxylamine could be easily performed. 

Methoxyethyltosylamide also participates in the [3 -I- 2] addition reaction with 102, although it does not give any of the expected dihydropyrrole derivative 104. Instead, the major product was found to be pyrrole 105, which presumably results through ready elimination of methanol from the putative intermediate 104. Thus, this addition holds promise for the synthesis of 2-substituted tosylpyrroles (Scheme 29). In addition to 105, a minor product 106 (12%) is also formed in this reaction.

Further chemistry of alkenes and alkynes is described in this chapter, with emphasis on addition reactions that lead to reduction and oxidation of carbon-carbon multiple bonds. First we explain what is meant by the terms reduction and oxidation as applied to carbon compounds. Then we emphasize hydrogenation, which is reduction through addition of hydrogen, and oxidative addition reactions with reagents such as ozone, peroxides, permanganate, and osmium tetroxide. We conclude with a section on the special nature of 1-alkynes— their acidic behavior and how the conjugate bases of alkynes can be used in synthesis to form carbon-carbon bonds. 

Their advantage over other types of dendrimers is their straightforward synthesis and, most importantly, their chemical and thermal stabilities. Two distinct steps characterize their synthesis a) an alkenylation reaction of a chlorosilane compound with an alkenyl Grignard reagent, and b) a Pt-cata-lyzed hydrosilylation reaction of a peripheral alkenyl moiety with an appropriate hydrosilane species. Scheme 2 shows the synthesis of catalysts Go-1 and Gi-1 via this methodology. In this case, the carbosilane synthesis was followed by the introduction of diamino-bromo-aryl groupings as the precursor for the arylnickel catalysts at the dendrimer periphery. The nickel centers of the so-called NCN-pincer nickel complexes were introduced by multiple oxidative addition reactions with Ni(PPh3)4. 

Fortunately, most of the palladium addition reactions with olefins can be carried out catalytically in the palladium compound so that large amounts of the expensive palladium compounds are not needed. As in the inorganic palladium salt additions, cupric chloride is a useful reoxidant. This, of course, limits the catalytic reaction to cases where olefin isomerization is not a problem. The cupric chloride is reduced to cuprous chloride during the reaction. As in the acetaldehyde synthesis, the reaction may be made catalytic in copper as well as palladium by adding oxygen and, in this case, hydrogen chloride also.
