Tetrasubstituted olefins through the stereoselective catalytic intermolecular conjugate addition of simple alkenes to α,β- unsaturated carbonyl compounds

Branching out: The cationic ruthenium-hydride complex [Ru]+ was found to be a highly effective catalyst precursor for the conjugate addition of unactivated olefins to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to yield tetrasubstituted olefins. A kinetic analysis provides support for the mechanism involving a regioselective olefin insertion and rapid alkene isomerization steps.

Electron Transfer Profile of Cyclopropanone Acetals in the Nonirradiated Reaction with Tetracyanoethylene, Chloranil, and Dicyanodichlorobenzoquinone

The donor profiles of cyclopropanone acetals 1 and 2 were examined in the reactions with electron acceptors (TCNE, DDQ, chloranil, and 1-cyanonaphthalene).With TCNE under nonirradiating conditions, an exclusive 2 + 2 cycloaddition took place stereospecifically with monosubstituted acetals 1a-c but nonstereospecifically with disubstituted acetals 1d,e.With quinones, a ring-opening of the cyclopropane and its coupling with the quinone took place to give the C (cyclopropane)-O (quinone) adduct 9 (with chloranil) or 10 (with DDQ), the latter of which underwent the elimination of a phenol to produce unsaturated esters 5 and 6.In addition, the intervention of the C (cyclopropane)-C (quinone) adduct 14 (with chloranil) or 15 (with DDQ), both as the precursor of 5 and 6, was also postulated.With 1-cyanonaphthalene, under photolysis, the cis/trans isomerization of 1 and 2 occured.The results provided evidences that cyclopropanone acetals, in general, are prone to function as donors.The mechanism of the reaction with quinones, in particular, was investigated in detail.

Formation of Unsaturated Esters in the Single Electron Transfer Reaction of Cyclopropanone Acetals with Quinones under Non-irradiated Conditions

Unsaturated esters were formed from cyclopropanone aceytals in the reaction with DDQ or chloranil, where ring-opened C-C and C-O bonded adducts were the intermediates formed via a SET mechanism resulting in the ester formation.

PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF β,γ-UNSATURATED KETONES - V ; THE DIRECT IRRADIATION OF SOME γ-PHENYL β;γ-ENONES

The photochemistry of some members of the two series of γ-phenyl substituted acyclic β,γ-unsaturated ketones 1 and 2 upon direct irradiation with λ 310 nm has been investigated, viz 1c-1h and 2b+2c.The alkyl substituted (E)-5-phenyl-4-penten-2-ones 1c-1h yield the corresponding 1,3-acyl shift products and (Z)-isomers, and 1g and 1h in addition two decarbonylated products. 2b only yields the (Z)-isomer and some benzaldehyde, but 2c yields the 1,3-acyl shift product, the ODPM product, three hydrocarbons formed by disproportionation of the allyl radical, and some benzaldehyde.The β-phenyl β,γ-UK 3a proved to be photostable.The 1,3-acyl shift products of 1c-1h result mainly from the singlet excited state in a cage radical process.The exclusive formation of the (E)-configuration of the 1,3-acyl shift product is explained in terms of conformational preference of the intermediate allyl radical.It is proposed that the formation of the (Z)-isomer proceeds from 1T(?-?*) which is populated according to .Evidence is presented which supports the proposed mechanism.The β,γ-UK 2b containing a benzoyl moiety leads to a higher degree of (E)-(Z) isomerization than the corresponding 1d which has an acetyl moiety.The triplet energies of (E)- and (Z)-1h are 56 and ca 70 kcal/mol respectively.
