Analogous exchange reactions occur with derivatives of other metals. Some examples are shown in equations 16-37-16-39.3-32 

These are polar reactions with the components polarised in the sense Sn0+-N° and M6+-X°. Different behaviour is observed in the reaction of the aminostannanes with tin hydrides in which the polarisation appears to be in the sense Sn5-H5+ (equation 16-40), and the products are the distannane and amine. These hydrostannolysis reactions of amino- and amido-stannanes provide an important route to Sn-Sn bonded compounds, and are discussed in Section 18.2.1.3. 

An aminostannane intermediate is involved in the homolytic reduction of an azide to the corresponding amine,33 and in the conversion of a-azido-P-ketoesters into amides and lactams (equations 16-41 and 16-42).34

Halogen exchange with metallic derivatives provides a powerful means of introducing iodine into specific quinoline sites. It has proved possible to prepare 2-, 3-, and 4-iodoquinolines from the trimethylstannyl [82H(19)168] or lithium derivatives [86S670]. Protected 2-aminoquinoline, lithiated at C-3, was quenched with iodine to give a 90% yield of the 3-iodo derivative (86S670). 

Many compounds have been tested as ignition quality improvers—additives which shorten the ignition delay to a desirable duration. An extensive review in 1944 (6, 43) listed 303 references, 92 dealing with alkyl nitrates and nitrites 61 with aldehydes, ketones, esters, and ethers 49 with peroxides 42 with aromatic nitro compounds 29, with metal derivatives 28 with oxidation and oxidation products 22 with polysulfides 16 with aromatic hydrocarbons nine with nitration and four with oximes and nitroso compounds. In 1950, tests at the U. S. Naval Engineering Experiment Station (48) showed that a concentration of 1.5% of certain peroxides, alkyl nitrates, nitroaikanes, and nitrocarbamates increased cetane number 20 or more units. 

On a related front, the reactions of carbonyl compounds with metallated derivatives of 2-methylthia-zoline furnish adducts (85). Although the initial nucleophilic addition occurs smoothly with a wide variety of aldehydes and ketones, the intermediate 3-hydroxythiazolines (85) suffer thermal reversion upon attempted purification by distillation. Moreover, attempted cleavage of the corresponding 3-hydroxythia-zolidines, which are readily produced from (85) upon dissolving metal reduction (Al-Hg), leads to the formation of 3-hydroxy aldehydes only in simple systems numerous complications arising from dimerization, dehydration and retroaldol processes of the products usually intervene. Consequently it is necessary to protect the initial 1,2-adducts (85 R2 = H) as the corresponding O-methoxymethyl ether derivatives (86 R2 = MOM), which can then be easily transformed into protected 3-hydroxy aldehydes by sequential reduction and hydrolysis (Scheme 32).55... 

This shift is the same effect observed with metallized derivatives of alizarin. In either case electron delocalization is enhanced, and the absorption wavelength maximum moves farther into the visible region. Ionizing a second hydroxyl group in the adjacent 2-position further enhances electron donation into the ring system and increases the intensity of the absorption as well as its bathochromic shift. These observations help to explain the empirically discovered benefits of using alkaline earth salts of the mordanted dye. 

In general, the diazabutadienideo compound [Ga N(R)C(H) 2] undergoes substitution or salt elimination reactions with metal derivatives, while the main synthetic routes to Ga(Giso) and Ga(DDP) complexes are substitution or oxidative addition reactions [48]. 

The reactions with metal-derived reagents are subdivided differently from the others, as oxidations, reductions and other reactions, because their distinct reactions are fewer in some cases, and their Periodic-Chart Groups are inconveniently numerons. The main order is rising Group number, with period number and oxidation nnmber being secondary. 

CATALYTIC REACTIONS CARRIED OUT WITH METALS DERIVED FROM CLUSTERS... 

S-hydroxyquinoline, oxine, C9H7ON. Light brown needles, m.p. 15-16 C. Forms insoluble complexes with metals. The solubilities of the derivatives vary with pH, etc. and hence oxine is widely used in analysis. Used for estimating Mg, Al, Zn and many other metals. Many oxinates are extracted and the metal is estimated spectrophotometrically. Derivatives, e.g. 2-meIhyl tend to be specific, for, e.g.. Copper derivatives are used as fungicides. 

CHR) , formed, e g. from the reaction of diazomethane and alcohols or hydroxylamine derivatives in the presence of boron compounds or with metal compounds. Poly-methylene is formally the same as polyethene and the properties of the various polymers depend upon the degree of polymerization and the stereochemistry. 

Metallic Derivatives, (a) Cuprous Acetylide. CujCg. Prepare an ammoniacal solution of cuprous chloride by first adding dilute ammonia to 2-3 ml. of dilute copper sulphate solution until the initial precipitate just redissolves and a clear deep-blue solution is obtained now add an aqueous solution of hydroxylamine hydrochloride drop by drop with shaking until the solution becomes first green and then completely colourless, the cupric salt being thus reduced to the cuprous derivative. 

Note, (i) Care should be taken to distinguish between a residue of carbon which may be very difficult to bum off completely, and a really non-volatile residue due to the presence of a metallic derivative. Thus for instance starch leaves a hard black residue of carbon which can best be burned away by moistening with a saturated solution of ammonium nitrate and then reheating. 

Silyl enol ethers are other ketone or aldehyde enolate equivalents and react with allyl carbonate to give allyl ketones or aldehydes 13,300. The transme-tallation of the 7r-allylpalladium methoxide, formed from allyl alkyl carbonate, with the silyl enol ether 464 forms the palladium enolate 465, which undergoes reductive elimination to afford the allyl ketone or aldehyde 466. For this reaction, neither fluoride anion nor a Lewis acid is necessary for the activation of silyl enol ethers. The reaction also proceed.s with metallic Pd supported on silica by a special method[301j. The ketene silyl acetal 467 derived from esters or lactones also reacts with allyl carbonates, affording allylated esters or lactones by using dppe as a ligand[302]... 

A number of less hindered monoalkylboranes is available by indirect methods, eg, by treatment of a thexylborane—amine complex with an olefin (69), the reduction of monohalogenoboranes or esters of boronic acids with metal hydrides (70—72), the redistribution of dialkylboranes with borane (64) or the displacement of an alkene from a dialkylborane by the addition of a tertiary amine (73). To avoid redistribution, monoalkylboranes are best used /V situ or freshly prepared. However, they can be stored as monoalkylborohydrides or complexes with tertiary amines. The free monoalkylboranes can be hberated from these derivatives when required (69,74—76). Methylborane, a remarkably unhindered monoalkylborane, exhibits extraordinary hydroboration characteristics. It hydroborates hindered and even unhindered olefins to give sequentially alkylmethyl- and dialkylmethylboranes (77—80). 

Chemical Properties. Higher a-olefins are exceedingly reactive because their double bond provides the reactive site for catalytic activation as well as numerous radical and ionic reactions. These olefins also participate in additional reactions, such as oxidations, hydrogenation, double-bond isomerization, complex formation with transition-metal derivatives, polymerization, and copolymerization with other olefins in the presence of Ziegler-Natta, metallocene, and cationic catalysts. All olefins readily form peroxides by exposure to air.
