- Composition of Mixtures of Hydrocarbons after BIRCH-Reduction of Substituted Benzenes and Acid Catalyzed Addition of Alcohols to Alkylsubstituted Cyclohexenes and Carbohexa-1,4-dienes
-
10 different benzene hydrocarbons 1, indane, tetraline, anisol and phenol are reduced by sodium in liquid ammonia in the presence of methanol to the BIRCH products 2.The product mixture compositions are determined through capillary GLC.On storage at +6 deg C some rearomatization of the 1,4-cyclohexadienes 2 occurs.Data of the 1H- and 13C-.n.m.r. spectra and also mass spectra of the BIRCH 1,4-dienes 2 are given.For comparison 4-alkoxycyclohexenes 4 and 1-alkoxy-1-methylcyclohexanes 8 are prepared and spectroscopically characterized.Acid-catalyzed addition of alcohols to the 1,4-cyclohexadienes systems is a slow process and gives the 4-alkoxy-4-alkylcyclohex-1-enes (4) only in moderate yields up to 30percent.Most of the products are dimers 5 and also oligomers 6 of the parent hydrocarbons 2.

- Cyclic Olefins by Anodic Oxidation of β-(Trimethylsilyl)carboxylic Acids. - β-(Trimethylsilyl)acrylic Acid Derivatives as Acetylene Equivalents in Diels-Alder Reactions
-
Trimethylsilyl-substituted dienophiles 1, 2, and 4 react with dienes 6-14 in 66-100percent yields to give β-trimethylsilyl-substituted carboxylic acids 15-25, some of which are hydrogenated to 26-31.These are decarboxylated-desilylated to cyclic olefins 35-47 by Non-Kolbe electrolysis in 45-91percent yields.The dienophiles 1, 2, and 4 are thus suitable acetylene equivalents for Diels-Alder reactions.
