Impact of Alkali and Alkali-Earth Cations on Ni-Catalyzed Dimerization of Butene

The presence of alkali (Na+ or Li+) or alkali-earth (Ca2+ or Mg2+) cations adjusting the acid-base properties on amorphous silica-alumina influences markedly the catalytic properties of supported Ni for 1-butene dimerization. The low concentration of Br?nsted acid sites on these catalysts reduces the double bond isomerization of butene and inhibits the formation of dimethylhexene as primary product. While the alkali and alkali-earth cations act as weak Lewis acid sites, only Ni2+ sites are catalytically active for dimerization of 1-butene. n-Octene and methylheptene are formed selectively as primary products; dimethylhexene is a secondary product. The open environment of the Ni2+ sites does not induce different reaction pathways compared to Ni2+ in the pores of zeolites.

DIARYL AMINE ANTIOXIDANTS PREPARED FROM BRANCHED OLEFINS

Diaryl amines are selectively alkylated by reaction with branched olefins, which olefins are capable of forming tertiary carbonium ions and can be conveniently prepared from readily available branched alcohols. The diaryl amine products are effective antioxidants and often comprise a high amount of di-alkylated diaryl amines and a low amount of tri- and tetra-alkylated diaryl amines.

Cyclization of methyl-substituted 6-heptenyl radicals

(Matrix presented) The behavior of a series of methyl-substituted 6-heptenyl radicals, generated from the corresponding iodides ((Me3Si)3SiH, AIBN in benzene at 80°C), has been investigated. The stereoselectivity of the 6-exo cyclizations, affording dimethylcyclohexanes, is low, and sizable quantities of methylcycloheptane, generated via 7-endo cyclization, are also produced.

Methyl Group Migration in the Reactions of Alkynyltrialkylborates

It is shown that the methyl group cannot be used as a cheap, non-migrating group in the reactions of alkynyltrialkylborates with electrophiles.However, trimethylborane can be used as a methylboronating agent for alkynes, given the right choice of solvent, and this may be of use in terpene synthesis.
