First Neutral and Cationic Tungsten Imido Alkylidene N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes

The synthesis of W(NAr′)(NHC)(=CHR)(2,5-Me2pyr)2 (1; Ar′: 2,6-iPr2C6H3; NHC: 1,3-diisopropylimidazol-2-ylidene; 2,5-Me2pyr: 2,5-dimethylpyrrolide; R: CMe2Ph), W(NAr′)(NHC)(=CHR)(2,5-Me2pyr)(OC6F5) (2), W(NAr′)(NHC)(=CHR)(OSiPh3)2 (3), [W(NAr′)(NHC)(=CHR)(OSiPh3))(MeCN)+][B(ArF)4 ?] (4; B(ArF)4 ?: B(3,5-(CF3)2C6H3)4 ?), [W(NAr′)(NHC)(=CHR)(2,5-Me2pyr))+][B(ArF)4 ?] (5), [W(NAr′)(NHC)(=CHR)(OC6F5))(tBuCN)+][B(ArF)4 ?] (6), W(NAr′)(NHC)(=CHR)(OtBu)2 (7), [W(NAr′)(NHC)(=CHR)(OtBu)+][B(ArF)4 ?] (8), and W(NAr′)(NHC)(=CHR)(OCMe(CF3)2)2 (9) is described, and the reactivity of the complexes in olefin metathesis and cyclopolymerization is reported. The cationic complexes 4, 5, and 6 showed high productivity and activity in olefin metathesis reactions, with turnover numbers of up to 40 000 and turnover frequencies (TOF5min) of up to 31 s?1, and also substantial functional group tolerance toward esters, nitriles, alcohols, and sulfides, particularly in the cyclopolymerization of α,ω-diynes.

Method of producing dicarboxylic acids

A method of producing dicarboxylic acids (e.g., α,ω dicarboxylic acids) by reacting a compound having a terminal COOH (e.g., unsaturated fatty acid such as oleic acid) and containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond with a second generation Grubbs catalyst in the absence of solvent to produce dicarboxylic acids. The method is conducted in an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon, nitrogen). The process also works well with mixed unsaturated fatty acids obtained from soybean, rapeseed, tall, and linseed oils.

Sex pheromone and related compounds in the Ishigaki and Okinawa strains of the tussock moth Orgyia postica (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae)

Two distinct electroantennographycally active (EAG-active) components, A and B, and a weakly active component C were found in a solvent extract from virgin females of the Ishigaki strain of the tussock moth, Orgyia postica (Walker). Components A, B, and C were found in the extract of the females at 4.0, 0.5, and 4.0 ng/female respectively. Components A, B, and C were identified as (6Z,9Z,11S,12S)-11,12-epoxyhenicosa-6,9-diene [(11S,12S)-1: posticlure], (6Z)-henicos-6-en-11-one (2), and (6Z,9Z)-henicosa-6,9-diene (3), respectively. Component B was absent in the extract from the Okinawa strain, in which components A and C were present at 2.0 and 1.5 ng/female respectively. (11S,12S)-1 and the racemic mixture showed attractiveness for both the Okinawa and Ishigaki strains, whereas (11R,12R)-1 did not. The addition of 2 significantly reduced the trap catches with (11S,12S)-1 on the Okinawa strain which lacked 2, while there was no significant inhibitory effect on the Ishigaki strain. The addition of 3 to (11S,12S)-1 did not significantly affect trap catches at Ishigaki or Okinawa. This confirmed that the attractant pheromone of O. postica of the Ishigaki strain is also (11S,12S)-1.

1-halo-cis-3-tetradecenes and processes for the preparation of cis-olefin compounds by using same

Disclosed are compounds suitable for use as raw materials which enable cis-olefin compounds useful as physiologically active substances such as the sex pheromones of various insects, or as intermediates for the synthesis thereof to be prepared on an industrial scale at a reasonable cost, and processes for the preparation of cis-olefin compounds by using the same. For this purpose, novel compounds (i.e., 1-halo-cis-3-tetradecenes) of the general formula (I) wherein X is a halogen atom, are used as raw materials for the preparation of cis-olefin compounds.

Process for the preparation of higher alkenes

A process for the preparation of a straight-chain or branched alkene which has 20 to 24 carbon atoms and in which the ethylenic bond is located after a carbon atom numbered between 8 and 11, which process comprises reacting, in an anhydrous solvent, preferably in an oxahydrocarbon an organometallic copper compound with an alkyl or alkenylsulfonate.
