Direct geminal diallylation of a carbonyl compound with allyl bromide has been achieved in the presence of a low-valent vanadium complex and zinc. The diallylation has been found to proceed stepwise and the two allyl groups were introduced successively. By applying this method, one-pot synthesis of asymmetric quaternary carbons has been accomplished. As the first alkylating reagent a combination of allyl bromide and zinc, a Grignard reagent, or an alkyllithium can be used. The second one should be the combination of a low- valent vanadium(II) complex and allyl bromide, benzyl bromide, or propargyl bromide. Strong oxophilicity of the low-valent vanadium facilitated the deoxygenative allylation.

A C-C single-bond-forming reaction from ketones with accompanying C-O bond cleavage mediated by a RMgBr or RLi-vanadium(II)-O2 system has been accomplished. Different from conventional reductive coupling reactions of ketones such as the McMurry coupling, the present method forms a C-C single (instead of a double) bond and yields a product that contains components derived from the ketone and the alkylating reagent in a one-pot reaction. Collaboration of both a low-valent vanadium(II) species and a higher-valent vanadium species produced from vanadium(II) and a catalytic amount of O2 effects the abstraction of the oxygen atom from a C-O bond.

The substituent effect on the rate of C-C bond cleavage in radical anions of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-(substituted-phenyl)-1,1,2,2-tetraethylethanes has been explored.The data provide evidence for two distinctive modes of bond scission.One mode is characterized by a significant negative charge transfer across the scissile bond in the transition state.Such polarization of the transition state is in contradiction to the prediction based on the fragments' stability.The second mode, dominant in cases where the charge shift leads to negative charge accumulation on an already electron-rich fragment, involves a ?* radical anion.Both modes point to a general kinetic preference for a cleavage of radical anions that allows for charge delocalization across the scissile bond.

The syntheses of 18 1,1,2,2-tetraalkyl-1,2-diarylethanes 1 - 4 by dimerisation procedures starting with 10 - 13 are reported.In the absence of p-substituents X and with increasing alkyl side chains the α,p-dimers 6 or their aromatic counter parts 7 are obtained besides or instead of 1.The relationships between strain enthalpy Hs, bond lengths, bond angles, torsional angles, and rotational barrier are discussed on the basis of force field calculations.They are supported by two additional experimental structure determinations by X-ray diffraction.
