Naturally occurring bulky terpenes, such as (+)- and (-)-limonene and (-)-β-pinene, were quantitatively copolymerized with maleimide (MI) derivatives (i.e., phenyl-, cyclohexyl-, ethyl-, and unsubstituted-MI) in PhC(CF3)2OH solvent via selective 1:2-alternating propagation governed by the penultimate effect, which resulted in 1:2-sequence regulated polymers with relatively high glass transition temperatures and optical activities. Similar petroleum-derived bulky olefins possessing cyclohexenyl, cyclohexyl, or additional α-methyl substituents were copolymerized with phenylmaleimide via preferential 1:2-alternating propagation with a slightly lower selectivity. A further decrease in the bulkiness of nonpolar olefins increased the 1:1-alternating sequence. The copolymerization of limonene and acrylonitrile also proceeded approximately via 1:1-alternating propagation, in which the penultimate effect was less observable. Furthermore, when methylene chloride was used instead of fluorinated alcohol for the copolymerization of limonene and phenylmaleimide, the length of the sequence of MI units increased. Thus, in addition to the characteristic MI skeleton, the bulky and rather specific structure of either limonene or β-pinene induces 1:2-selective propagation via the penultimate effect, whereas the fluoroalcohol diminishes the homopropagation of MI via a hydrogen bonding interaction with the MI unit. RAFT copolymerization of limonene and various MI derivatives in PhC(CF3)2OH successfully proceeded to give the end-to-end 1:2-sequence-regulated copolymer with a selective initiating sequence and predominant capping sequence using an appropriate RAFT agent.

A mixture comprising of equal amounts of 1,3-butadiene (BD) and isoprene(IPN) was allowed to react over MgO and ZrO2 at 473 K in order to examine the relation between the product distribution and the reaction mechanisms.Over ZrO2 the most abundant product was 4-ethyltoluene, which was produced by a base-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction between BD and IPN, followed by double-bond migration and dehydrogenation.In the Diels-Alder reaction, IPN acts as a diene and BD acts as a dienophile.Over MgO, o-xylene was primarily produced by anionic mechanisms.Among the products formed from BD and IPN, 4-ethyltoluene was produced most, though the production of 3-ethyltoluene was considerable.The active sites on ZrO2 were strongly poisoned by both CO2 and NH3.The active sites on MgO were completely poisoned by CO2, and were modified by NH3 in such a way that the reaction mechanisms changed from the anionic mechanisms to those involving Diels-Alder reaction.

trans-Bicyclohept-3-ene, 7-methyl-trans-bicyclohept-3-ene, and 7,7-dimethyl-trans-bicyclohept-3-ene have been synthesized.Comparison of their ease of oxidation with the ease of oxidation of the analogous cis-bicyclohept-3-enes has been made.Both the thermal and transition-metal complex promoted rearrangements of the trans-bicyclohept-3-enes have been studied.These systems thermally convert to the cis-bicyclohept-3-enes above 100 deg C and are catalytically rearranged at ambient temperature.Trans to cis isomerization alsooccurs at ambient temperature under photoinduced single electron transfer conditions.

7-Methyl-trans-bicyclohept-3-ene has been synthesized and the thermal and transition-metal-complex promoted rearrangements of trans-bicyclohept-3-ene, 7-methyl-trans-bicyclohept-3-ene, and 7,7-dimethyl-trans-bicyclohept-3-ene have been compared.

The title compound, 1, is highly reactive (very sensitive to acid, and, thermally isomerized to the cis isomer 2, at 110 deg C); photosensitized isomerization of 1 to 2 is effected by the excited state of 1-cyanonaphthalene.
