Tritylation

The resulting macrocyclic ligand was then metallated with nickel(II) acetate. Hydride abstraction by the strongly electrophilic trityl cation and proton elimination resulted in the formation of carbon-carbon double bonds (T.J. Truex, 1972). 

When using a cation source in conjunction with a Friedel-Crafts acid the concentration of growing centers is most often difficult to measure and remains unknown. By the use of stable carbocation salts (for instance trityl and tropyhum hexachloroantimonate) the uncertainty of the concentration of initiating cations is eliminated. Due to the highly reproducible rates, stable carbocation salts have been used in kinetic studies. Their use, however, is limited to cationicaHy fairly reactive monomers (eg, A/-vinylcarbazole, -methoxystyrene, alkyl vinyl ethers) since they are too stable and therefore ineffective initiators of less reactive monomers, such as isobutylene, styrene, and dienes. 

Protonic initiation is also the end result of a large number of other initiating systems. Strong acids are generated in situ by a variety of different chemistries (6). These include initiation by carbenium ions, eg, trityl or diazonium salts (151) by an electric current in the presence of a quartenary ammonium salt (152) by halonium, triaryl sulfonium, and triaryl selenonium salts with uv irradiation (153—155) by mercuric perchlorate, nitrosyl hexafluorophosphate, or nitryl hexafluorophosphate (156) and by interaction of free radicals with certain metal salts (157). Reports of "new" initiating systems are often the result of such secondary reactions. Other reports suggest standard polymerization processes with perhaps novel anions. These latter include (Tf)4Al (158) heteropoly acids, eg, tungstophosphate anion (159,160) transition-metal-based systems, eg, Pt (161) or rare earths (162) and numerous systems based on tri flic acid (158,163—166). Coordination polymerization of THF may be in a different class (167). 

Trityl Ethers. Treatment of sucrose with four molar equivalents of chlorotriphenylmethyl chloride (trityl chloride) in pyridine gives, after acetylation and chromatography, 6,1, 6 -tri-O-tritylsucrose [35674-14-7] and 6,6 -di-O-tritylsucrose [35674-15-8] in 50 and 30% yield, respectively (16). Conventional acetylation of 6,1, 6 -tri-O-tritylsucrose, followed by detritylation and concomitant C-4 to C-6 acetyl migration using aqueous acetic acid, yields a pentaacetate, which on chlorination using thionyl chloride in pyridine and deacetylation produces 4,l, 6 -trichloro-4,l, 6 -trideoxygalactosucrose [56038-13-2] (sucralose), alow calorie sweetener (17). 

StericaHy hindered silyl ethers such as ferZ-hutyl dimethyl silyl, / fZ-butyldiphenylsilyl, and tricyclohexylsilyl have been proposed as alternatives to trityl ethers. Reaction of sucrose with 3.5 molar equivalents of ferZ-hutyl dimethyl silyl chloride produces the 6,1/6 -tri-O-silyl derivative in good yield (27). 

These hindered silyl ethers are generally more stable to acid hydrolysis than their trityl ether equivalents and can be removed using... 

Acetates. Because of the significant interest in selective acetylation reactions of sucrose, the need for a convenient and unambiguous method of identification has been recognized (34,35). The position of an acetyl group in a partially acetylated sucrose derivative can be ascertained by comparison of its H-nmr acetyl methyl proton resonances after per-deuterioacetylation with those of the assigned octaacetate spectmm. The synthesis of partially acetylated sucroses has generally been achieved either by way of selectively protected derivatives such as trityl ethers and cychc acetals or by direct selective acetylation and deacetylation reactions. 

A -Pyrazolines such as (410) are oxidized by iodine, mercury(II) acetate and trityl chloride to pyrazolium salts (411), and compound (410) even reduces silver nitrate to Ag° (69JOU1480). Electrochemical oxidation of l,3,5-triaryl-2-pyrazolines has been studied in detail (74BSF768, 79CHE115). They Undergo oxidative dimerization and subsequent transformation into the pyrazole derivative (412).

Ethers are among the most used protective groups in organic synthesis. They vary from the simplest, most robust, methyl ether to the more elaborate, substituted, trityl ethers developed for use in nucleotide synthesis. They are formed and removed under a wide variety of conditions. Some of the ethers that have been used to protect alcohols are included in Reactivity Chart 1. ... 

Me3SiBr, CH2CI2, 0°, 8-9 h, 80-97% yield.This reagent also cleaves the acetonide, THP, trityl, and r-BuMe2Si groups. Esters, methyl and benzyl ethers, r-butyldiphenylsilyl ethers, and amides are reported to be stable. 

The cleavage proceeds by initial reduction of the nitro groups followed by acid-catalyzed cleavage. The DNB group can be cleaved in the presence of allyl, benzyl, tetrahydropyranyl, methoxy ethoxy methyl, methoxymethyl, silyl, trityl, and ketal protective groups.
