Usage

General Description

3-Ethyl-5-hexen-3-ol, also known as leaf alcohol, is a colorless liquid with a floral, green, and fruity odor. It is a naturally occurring compound found in a variety of plants, including fruits, vegetables, and flowers, and is often used in the fragrance industry to add a fresh, green note to perfumes and other scented products. Its chemical structure consists of a six-carbon chain with a double bond, an ethyl group, and a hydroxyl group, giving it both a fruity and alcoholic scent. 3-ETHYL-5-HEXEN-3-OL is also used in the food industry as a flavoring agent, as well as in the production of essential oils and aromatherapy products. Additionally, it has potential applications in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Carbolithiation of simple terminal and strained internal alkenes by the naphthalene and the biphenyl dianion: New modes of reactivity of highly reduced organic species in solution

Dianions derived from arenes of high reduction potential (biphenyl, naphthalene) and Li(s) can carbometallate propene, isobutene or norbornene among other alkenes, in an intermolecular fashion. This reaction runs at room temperature to afford p

Substitution Reactions of Secondary Halides and Epoxides with Higher Order, Mixed Organocuprates, R2Cu(CN)Li2: Synthetic, Stereochemical, and Mechanistic Aspects

Higher order cuprates, represented by the general formula R2Cu(CN)Li2, are readily prepared from copper cyanide and 2 equiv of an organolithium.These novel reagents react readily and efficiently with secondary unactivated iodides and bromides affording products of substitution.Likewise, mono-, di-, and trisubstituted epoxides undergo ring opening leading to the corresponding alcohols in excellent yields.The effects of solvent, temperature, gegenion, and variations in ligands are discussed.Replacement of the second equivalent of RLi by CH3Li strongly encouragestransfer of R over CH3 in R(CH3)Cu(CN)Li2 with halides.Use of PhLi as RRLi in place of one RTLi (i.e.RT(Ph)Cu(CN)Li2) is suggested for oxirane cleavage.The stereochemical implications associated with both couplings are also addressed.
