p-Quinodimethanes (p-QDMs) are reactive molecules that have been invoked as transient intermediates in a number of reactions. Dilute solutions of benzene-based p-QDMs, p-xylylene (1), α-methyl-p-xylylene (10), and 2,5-dimethyl-p-xylylene (11) can be prepared by fluoride-induced elimination of trimethylsilyl acetate from the appropriate precursor. It has been found that these solutions are stable enough to allow these reactive p-QDMs to be observed by 1H NMR spectroscopy at room temperature. For the first time, the 13C NMR spectrum of p-QDM 1 was observed. After several hours at room temperature, these p-QDMs form dimers, trimers, and insoluble oligomers. Formation of trimers provides evidence that p-QDMs 1, 10, and 11 dimerize by a stepwise mechanism involving dimeric diradicals as intermediates.
Reaction of cyclic allylic acetates with aliphatic alcohols in the presence of cerium(III) chloride

The reactions of selected allylic acetates with methanol, ethanol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol and tert-butyl alcohol in the presence of catalytic amounts of cerium(III) chloride are described. Allylic alkyl ethers, bis-allylic ethers and 1,3-dienes were obtained depending on the structure of the acetates.
1H NMR Utilization of Through-Space Effects III - Configuration of Oximes and Analogous Compounds
Rouillard, M.,Girault, Y.,Decouzon, M.,Azzaro, M.
, p. 357 - 360 (2007/10/02)
The configurational assignment of Z and E nitrogen derivatives (C=NY) of 3,5,5-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one was made taking into consideration the through-space effects on oxime, O-methyloxime, dimethylhydrazone, tert-butylimine, N,N,N-trimethylhydr
