Radical-Stabilization-Energy - the MMEVBH Force Field

Making use of the VB method of Malrieu et al. a force field has been developed, which allows to calculate heats of formation of hydrocarbons (conjugated and non-conjugated olefins, radicals and diradicals) with high accuracy.With this method radical stabilization energies (RSE) for a great number of delocalized radicals are calculated and compared with experimental values, derived from shock-tube measurements of dissociation energies or from rotational barriers of substituted olefins.A detailed analysis of the RSE with respect to structure, substituents, strain, and aromaticity is presented. - Key Words: Resonance energy / Heats of formation / Single pulse shock tube / Intrisic rotational barrier

Reactions of basic aqueous solution of Na2Te with MeCH=CHCH2Br or CH2=CHCHMeCl give ZZ-, ZE- and EE(MeCH=CHCH2)2.This is interpreted in terms of a mechanism involving attack of Na2Te on the 2-butenyl cation formed from the allyl halide under the basic reaction conditions.The rate of reaction to give the E-configuration is ca. 3 times that to form the Z.Decomposition of (MeCH=CHCH2)2Te in the liquid or gas phases gives all possible products arising from dimerization of the allyl group.This is interpreted in terms of homolytic fission of the Te-C bond followed by coupling of the allyl radicals formed, particularly as no compounds containing CH2-CHCHMeTe are recovered after partial pyrolysis.The products can be fitted to a purely statistical model in which the reactivity ratio of the primary to secondary allyl is ca. 0.63:0.37.The statistical fit is taken to indicate that mechanism other than that involving homolytic fission and free radical coupling play a negligible part.
On the Regioselectivity of Coupling of Substituted Allyl Radicals. Steric Versus FMO Control

The photo-induced decomposition of substituted-homoallylic 4-nitrobenzenesulfenates produces substituted allyl radicals which undergo dimerization and coupling with the 4-nitrobenzenethiyl radical.The regioselectivity of the dimerization of the allyl redi
Reaction Of Allylic Boron and Aluminium "Ate" Complexes with Organic Halides and Carbonyl Compounds. Trialkylboranes as Regio-, Stereo-, and Chemoselective Control Elements

Lithium allylic boron ate complexes, prepared by the addition of trilakylboranes to an ether solution of allylic lithium compounds, regioselectively react with allylic halides to produce head-to-tail 1,5-dienes (eq 1).The ate complexes are also prepared from the reaction of allylic boranes with alkyllithium derivatives.Magnesium or copper allylic boron ate complexes are less effective.Lithium crotyl boron ate complexes undergo a rapid reaction with aldehydes with good threoselectivity (eq 2).The selectivity is affected by the steric hindrance of trialkylboranes, as explained by the steric parameters of the 6-membered transition state.The ate complexes react with α,β-unsaturated ketones in a competitive manner of 1,2 and 1,4 addition, while they add to cinnamaldehyde exclusively in a 1,2 manner.The chemoselective aspects are only investigated. 1H and 13 C NMR spectra of lithium allylic boron ate complexes clearly indicate (i) the prevention of allylic rearrangement, (ii) the predominant trans geometry of the crotyl unit in comparison with the corresponding trivalent crotylboron, and (iii) the relative importance of ?-? conjugation between the double bond and the carbon-boron bond (eq 3).
(Alkenyl-η3-allyl)bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)titanium Complexes

Bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)titanium hydride (Cp2TiH), presumably formed in situ from bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)titanium dichloride (1) and isopropylmagnesium bromide (2) adds to the conjugated C=C bonds of the alkatrienes 4, 5, 25, 36, and 45 to give the (alkenyl-η3-allyl)bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)titanium complexes 7 and 10, 8, 26, and 30, 37, 46.The complexes 7, 8, and 26 with the alkenyl group in position 1 isomerize to give the compounds 27, 28, and 29 in which the C=C bond is conjugated with the allyl group.Compound 37 which contains an alkenyl group in a meso-position does not isomerize.In the case of isomycoren (40), TiH addition occurs primarily to the isolated C=C bond followed by intramolecular cyclization to give the bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)(1-cyclopentyl-η3-allyl)titanium complex 41.
