Fast addition of highly polar organometallic reagents (RMgX/RLi) to cyclic carbonates (derived from CO2 as a sustainable C1 synthon) has been studied in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran as a green reaction medium or in the absence of external volatile organic solvents, at room temperature, and in the presence of air/moisture. These reaction conditions are generally forbidden with these highly reactive main-group organometallic compounds. The correct stoichiometry and nature of the polar organometallic alkylating or arylating reagent allows straightforward synthesis of: highly substituted tertiary alcohols, β-hydroxy esters, or symmetric ketones, working always under air and at room temperature. Finally, an unprecedented one-pot/two-step hybrid protocol is developed through combination of an Al-catalyzed cycloaddition of CO2 and propylene oxide with the concomitant fast addition of RLi reagents to the in situ and transiently formed cyclic carbonate, thus allowing indirect conversion of CO2 into the desired highly substituted tertiary alcohols without need for isolation or purification of any reaction intermediates.

Dual catalyst-controlled intramolecular unactivated C(sp3)-H amination and oxygenation of carbamates merging visible-light photocatalysis and earth-abundant transition metal catalysis have been reported. Useful amino alcohol and diol derivatives could be selectively obtained from readily available tertiary alcohol derivatives. The possible mechanisms have been proposed via a 1,5-HAT process followed by Lewis acid-controlled cyclization. The nickel and zinc catalysts inhibit the formation of oxygenation and amination products, respectively. An interesting phenomenon of chirality transfer is also observed.
Factors affecting migration of tertiary alkyl groups in reactions of alkylboronic esters with bromomethyllithium

The reactions of bromomethyllithium with tert-alkylboronic esters could be of great potential for the formation of quaternary carbon centers but often give poor yields/conversions. Calculations and experimental evidence show that tert-alkyl groups migrate less effectively than other types of alkyl group in such reactions and that O-migration competes. Furthermore, slow/incomplete capture of the bromomethyl reagent by the boronic ester is a problem in more hindered systems, and an additional competing reaction, possibly Li-Br exchange on the bromomethylborate species, also leads to lower yields of migrated products. Based on this, experimental protocols have been devised in which the competing reactions are largely suppressed, leading to higher conversions to migrated product for several substrates.

Reactions of zirconocene-alkene complexes Cp2Zr(CH2=CHR)(PR'3) (R = H, Me, Et, SiR"3 or Ar) with aldehydes or ketones were investigated.Zirconocene-ethylene, -propylene or 1-butene complexes reacted with aldehydes or ketones at terminal carbons of alkenes to give the corresponding alcohols after hydrolysis with a high regioselectivity.A similar type of reaction product was also obtained by a reaction of zirconacyclopentanes with aldehydes.This reaction proceeded via β-β' carbon-carbon bond cleavage of zirconacyclopentanes.A reaction of zirconocene-vinylsilane complexes with ketones afforded 3-trimethylsilyl-1-oxa-2-zirconacyclopentanes with an excellent regioselectivity.Carbon-carbon bond formation occurred exclusively at the terminal carbon of vinylsilanes.Their corresponding γ-silylalcohols were obtained after hydrolysis.The products showed that vinylsilanes reacted with carbonyl compounds at the β-carbon to silyl group.It is in sharp contrast to the conventional reactions of vinylsilanes of which the α-carbon normally attacked electrophiles.The reactions of styrene and its derivatives with pentan-3-one on zirconium gave a mixture of two regioisomers.Substituents of alkenes tend to be in α-position to Zr in 1-oxa-2-zirconacyclopentanes.This orientation showed a different aspect of the formation of 1-oxa-2-zirconacyclopentanes from the alkene-alkene coupling reaction on zirconium.The regioselectivity of the reaction with carbonyl compounds decreased in this order; R = alkyl > silyl > aryl.

1-Alkenes are converted in high yields to the corresponding primary diorganomagnesium compounds by transition metal-catalyzed hydromagnesation reaction using catalytically prepared suspended (MgH2*) or dissolved magnesium hydride (MgH2').The most active hydromagnesation catalysts have been found to be combinations of zirconium tetrahalides with MgH2* or MgH2'.The reaction is highly regio- and chemoselective.The diorganomagnesium compounds prepared in situ from magnesium, hydrogen, and 1-alkenes can be applied to the synthesis of organic and organometallic compounds just as Grignard compounds (Scheme 3, reactions 3-11).Dioctylmagnesium undergoes the growth reaction with ethene in the presence of quinuclidine and is oxidized by molecular oxygen in high yield to 1-octanol.

, p. 551 - 561 (2007/10/02)
The conformational behaviour of 10-X-substituted 1,4-dioxa- and 1,4,6-trioxaspirodecanes 1-4 has been studied by 13C-, 19F- and 1H-NMR spectroscopy.Two X-ray analyses of (2a,e) are presented, and their implications to cleavage reactions of chiral acetals are discussed.Participation of twist boat forms in the conformeric equilibrium of at least 1c has been made plausible by observing 13C, 19F-NMR coupling constants.The ratios of axial to equatorial conformers in 1-4 have been calculated by molecular mechanics.
On the oxidation of 3-ethylpentane under GifIV and Gif-orsay conditions
Barton, Derek H. R.,Doller, Dario,Ozbalik, Nubar,Balavoine, Gilbert,Gref, Aurore,Boivin, Jean

The oxidation of 3-ethylpentane under GifIV (and GoAggII) conditions affords, as major product, 3-acetylpentane and not diethylketone as previously reported. The discrepancy is explained by radical chain autoxidation in presence of a weak tertiary C - H bond.
FUNCTIONALISATION OF SATURATED HYDROCARBONS. Part X. A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CHEMICAL AND ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCESSES (GIF AND GIF-ORSAY SYSTEMS) IN PYRIDINE, IN ACETONE AND IN PYRIDINE-CO-SOLVENT MIXTURES

Six saturated hydrocarbons (cyclohexane, 3-ethylpentane, methylcyclopentane, cis- and trans-decalin and adamantane) were oxidised by the Gif system (iron catalyst, oxygen, zinc, carboxylic acid) and its electrochemical equivalent (Gif-Orsay system).Results obtained using various solvents (pyridine, acetone, pyridine-acetone mixtures) were similar for both systems.Total or partial replacement of pyridine with acetone affects the selectivity for secondary positions and lowers the ketone/secondary alcohol ratio.The formation of the same ratio of cis- and trans-decal-9-ol from both cis- and trans-decalin clearly demonstrates that tertiary alcohols result from a mechanism essentially radical in nature.
Pyrolysis of 3-Ethylpent-2-ene - a Further Evidence for a Homoallylic-Rearrangement
Bach, G.,Zychlinski, W.,Kopinke, F.-D.,Zimmermann, G.
, p. 677 - 682 (2007/10/02)
The pyrolysis of 3-ethylpent-2-ene has been studied under conditions of steam cracking in the temperature range 600-700 deg C in a laboratory scale tubular reactor.The main products of decomposition were methane, 2-ethylbutadiene and isoprene.The majority of products obviously arose from H abstraction and radical addition, typical for radical chain reactions in olefins decomposition including phenomena resulting from allylic resonance.The formation of isoprene, however, could only be explained by a reaction network including a homoallylic rearrangement.
