Isomerization processes in the synthesis of asymmetric allyl chalcogenides

Allyl-propenyl rearrangement (prototropic isomerization) occurs in the synthesis of allyl organyl chalcogenides in a hydrazine hydrate - KOH system with a 6 - 10-fold molar excess of KOH. Specificities of the rearrangement that depend on the nature of the chalcogen were studied.

The Electronic Interaction between the Methyl Group and Trigonal Carbon

The nature of the interaction between methyl and a trigonal carbon has been examined by the effect of substituents on the methyl rotational barrier.Barriers have been measured for para-substituted toluenes and for cis- and trans-substituted propenes by the motional effects of methyl rotation on dipole-dipole spin-lattice relaxation.The toluene barriers exhibit a fair correlation with ?I and a very poor one with ?R.Thus hyperconjugation cannot be a major factor in determining the methyl rotational barrier.The propene barriers, particularly in the cis series, also correlate with ?I but have a better correlation with ?R than do the toluenes.Examination of all the 13C chemical shifts showed that the rotational barriers correlate only with the ortho carbon in the toluenes and with the 2-carbon (methyl substituted) in the propenes.These results suggest that the methyl rotational barrier is primarily sensitive to the nature of the ortho C-H bond in the toluenes and the α-C-H bond in the propenes.The ?R and ?I correlations are in accord with this model, since the ortho toluene carbon cannot interact directly through resonance with the para substituent but must depend on polar interactions.In the propenes, on the other hand, electron density at the α-carbon is determined by both inductive and resonance effects.The major factor in determining these barriers is the electron density at the critical carbon center, which is the ortho carbon for the toluenes and the α-carbon for the propenes.
