Usage

Uses

Used in Chemical Process Industry:
(E)-2,2-Dimethyl-3-decene is used as an intermediate in the chemical process for transforming fuel from municipal waste plastic. The application reason is that it acts as a key component in the conversion process, utilizing a nickel silica (Ni(SiO2)) catalyst to facilitate the transformation of waste plastic into a usable fuel source. This process not only helps in waste management but also contributes to the development of sustainable fuel alternatives, reducing the dependency on fossil fuels and mitigating the environmental impact of plastic waste.

Highly stereo and chemoselective iron-catalyzed alkenylation of organomagnesium compounds

In the presence of Fe(acac)3, Grignard reagents react readily with alkenyl halides (X = I, Br or Cl) in a THF/NMP mixture to give the cross-coupling products in high yields with an excellent stereoselectivity (≤99.5%). The scope of the reaction is very broad since a vast array of functional groups are tolerated (esters, nitriles, aromatic or aliphatic halides and even ketones). The procedure reported herein is an interesting alternative to the classical Pd- or Ni-catalyzed reactions, especially for preparative organic chemistry.

Organosilicon compounds with functional groups proximate to silicon. XVII. Synthetic and mechanistic aspects of the lithiation of α,β-epoxyalkylsilanes and related α-heterosubstituted epoxides

A series of α-heterosubstituted epoxides, , has been found to undergo lithiation in the temperature range of -75 to -115 deg C at the C-H bond of the epoxide.The substituent Z could be Me3Si, Ph3Si, n-Bu3Sn, Ph3Sn, PhSO2, (OEt)2PO and Ph; the groups R and R' were H, Ph and n-C6H13; and the lithiating reagents were n-butyllithium, t-butyllithium and lithium diisopropylamide in donor media of THF or TMEDA.The lithiation occurs with retention of configuration and the resulting lithio-epoxide is unstable above 0 deg C, decomposing in a carbenoid manner.The lithiation is facile except for compounds where Z and R (an alkyl or aryl) are cis-oriented; where Z = R3Sn, lithiation occurs by tin-lithium, rather than hydrogen-lithium, exchange.The lithio-epoxides thereby generated can be quenched with various reagents to yield epoxides where the epoxide H has been replaced by D, Me3Sn, R, RCO and COOH.The utility of this procedure in organic synthesis is emphasized.Finally, the possible explanations for the acidity of such α-heterosubstituted epoxides and for the relative stability of the derived lithio-epoxides are considered and assessed.

HOMOALLYLIC SUBSTITUTION REACTIONS OF LITHIUM DIALKYL CUPRATES WITH CYCLOPROPYLCARBINYL HALIDES: MECHANISTIC CONSIDERATIONS

Highly reactive lithium dialkyl cuprates and 1-bromo-1-cyclopropylalkanes, 4, react to give good yields of the homoallylic substitution product, 6.Less reactive organocuprates react with 4 to give mixtures of 6 and the direct substitution product 7.These results are consistent with a copper(I) radical intermediate which undergoes facile rearrangement prior to reductive coupling.
