The Ir complex could catalyze the allylic vinylation and the aUylic amination in the same flask (Scheme 5.34) [34]. This result leads to the discovery of an Ir-catalyzed domino allylic vinylation/intramolecular allylic amination of but-2-ene-l,4-diyl dimethyl dicarbonate. 

If a bromomethyl- or vinyl-substituted cyclopropane carbon atom bears a hydroxy group, the homoallyiic rearrangement leads preferentially to cyclobutanone derivatives (J. Sa-laun, 1974). Addition of amines to cydopropanone (N. J. Turro, 1966) yields S-lactams after successive treatment with tert-butyl hypochlorite and silver(I) salts (H.H. Wasserman, 1975). For intramolecular cyclopropane formation see section 1.16. 

The reaction of alkenyl mercurials with alkenes forms 7r-allylpalladium intermediates by the rearrangement of Pd via the elimination of H—Pd—Cl and its reverse readdition. Further transformations such as trapping with nucleophiles or elimination form conjugated dienes[379]. The 7r-allylpalladium intermediate 418 formed from 3-butenoic acid reacts intramolecularly with carboxylic acid to yield the 7-vinyl-7-laCtone 4I9[380], The /i,7-titisaturated amide 421 is obtained by the reaction of 4-vinyl-2-azetidinone (420) with an organomercur-ial. Similarly homoallylic alcohols are obtained from vinylic oxetanes[381]. 

In the reaction of Q,/3-unsaturated ketones and esters, sometimes simple Michael-type addition (insertion and hydrogenolysis, or hydroarylation, and hydroalkenylation) of alkenes is observed[53,54]. For example, a simple addition product 56 to methyl vinyl ketone was obtained by the reaction of the heteroaromatic iodide 55[S5]. The corresponding bromide affords the usual insertion-elimination product. Saturated ketones are obtained cleanly by hydroarylation of o,/3l-unsaturated ketones with aryl halides in the presence of sodium formate, which hydrogenolyses the R—Pd—I intermediate to R— Pd—H[56]. Intramolecular hydroarylation is a useful reaction. The diiodide 57 reacts smoothly with sodium formate to give a model compound for the afla-toxin 58. (see Section 1.1.6)[57]. Use of triethylammonium formate and BU4NCI gives better results. 

No intennolecular reaction of malonate or /3-keto esters with halides has been reported, but the intramolecular reaction of /3-diketones such as 790 and malonates proceeds smoothly[652,653]. Even the simple ketone 791 can be arylated or alkenylated intramolecularly. In this reaction, slow addition of a base is important to prevent alkyne formation from the vinyl iodide by elim-ination[654]. 

Organoboranes are reactive compounds for cross-coupling[277]. The synthesis of humulene (83) by the intramolecular cross-coupling of allylic bromide with alkenylborane is an example[278]. The reaction of vinyiborane with vinyl-oxirane (425) affords the homoallylic alcohol 426 by 1,2-addition as main products and the allylic alcohol 427 by 1,4-addition as a minor product[279]. Two phenyl groups in sodium tetraphenylborate (428) are used for the coupling with allylic acetate[280] or allyl chloride[33,28l]. 

Rctrosynthetic path a corresponds to Pd-catalysed exo-trig cyclization of o-halo-JV-allylanilines. Path b involves the endo-trig cyclization of o-halo-JV-vinyl anilines. Path c is a structurally similar cyclization which can be effected photochemically in the absence of an o-substituent. Retrosynthetic path d involves intramolecular Friedel-Crafts oxyalkylation followed by aromatiz-ation. 

Intramolecular palladium-catalysed cyclizations can also be applied to N-vinylanilines. Usually the vinyl group carries an EW substituent which serves... 

It has been shown that intramolecular chain transfer to polymer occurs during the polymerisation of vinyl acetate, lea ding to short-chain branching (81,235—238). The number of short-chain branches has been estimated by nmr to be in the range of 0.12—1.7 mol % (81). The number of short-chain branches increases significantly at low monomer concentration. 

Whereas the cycloaddition of arylazirines with simple alkenes produces A -pyrrolines, a rearranged isomer can be formed when the alkene and the azirine moieties are suitably arranged in the same molecule. This type of intramolecular photocycloaddition was first detected using 2-vinyl-substituted azirines (75JA4682). Irradiation of azirine (54) in benzene afforded a 2,3-disubstituted pyrrole (55), while thermolysis gave a 2,5-disubstituted pyrrole (56). Photolysis of azirine (57) proceeded similarly and gave 1,2-diphenylimidazole (58) as the exclusive photoproduct. This stands in marked contrast to the thermal reaction of (57) which afforded 1,3-diphenylpyrazole (59) as the only product. 

Intermediate 37 can be transformed into ( )-thienamycin [( )-1)] through a sequence of reactions nearly identical to that presented in Scheme 3 (see 22— 1). Thus, exposure of /(-keto ester 37 to tosyl azide and triethylamine results in the facile formation of pure, crystalline diazo keto ester 4 in 65 % yield from 36 (see Scheme 5). Rhodium(n) acetate catalyzed decomposition of 4, followed by intramolecular insertion of the resultant carbene 3 into the proximal N-H bond, affords [3.2.0] bicyclic keto ester 2. Without purification, 2 is converted into enol phosphate 42 and thence into vinyl sulfide 23 (76% yield from 4).18 Finally, catalytic hydrogenation of 23 proceeds smoothly (90%) to afford ( )-thienamycin...

Our strategy is based on the premise that the 31-membered ring and the conjugated triene array of the natural product could be fashioned simultaneously by a tandem inter-/intramolecular Stille coupling. Moreover, the mild conditions under which Stille couplings can be performed fueled hopes that the crucial stitching cycliza-tion could be conducted on a fully deprotected seco bis(vinyl iodide) (see 145, Schemes 40 and 54) the stitching cyclization would thus be the final operation in the synthesis. 

When additional substituents are introduced in the 2- and/or 4-position, the thermal rearrangement gives products in which the substituents that were originally located in the 1- and 5-position of the quadricyclane are then located at C4 and C5 of the oxepin 7.30,123 In order to trap intermediates of this rearrangement reaction by intramolecular cycloaddition vinyl and acetylene groups were linked with different spacer groups to C2 of quadricyclane.123 In this manner two different intramolecular cycloadducts were isolated in addition to oxepin derivatives.123... 

The structure of the chain, i.e., whether it is a helix or a random coil, might influence not only the rate but also the stereospecificity of the growing polymer. For example, it is plausible to expect that in normal vinyl polymerization helix formation might favor specific placement, say isotactic, while either placement would be approximately equally probable in a growing random coil. Formation of a helix requires interaction between polymer segments, and this intramolecular interaction is enhanced by bad solvents particularly those which precipitate the polymer. 

The 1,6-intramolecular addition of unsymmetrical allylsilanes to conjugated dienones proceeded to give a trans relation between the angular substituents and the vinyl groups (complete 1,3-asymmetric induction). Ethylaluminum dichloride has been most successfully used in all reactions described35-53.
