Synthesis of sterically hindered ortho-substituted tetraphenylethenes. Electronic effects in the McMurry olefination reaction
Chung, Mee-Kyung,Qi, Guizhong,Stryker, Jeffrey M.
, p. 1491 - 1494 (2006)
Contrary to literature consensus, the McMurry olefination reaction can be extended to the direct synthesis of sterically encumbered tetrakis(2- substituted) tetraphenylethenes from the corresponding 2,2′-disubstituted benzophenones. The reaction exploits
Synthesis and Stereochemistry of Tetra-o-tolylethene and 1,1,2,2-Tetra-o-tolylethane

, p. 1890 - 1898 (2007/10/02)
The synthesis of tetra-o-tolylethene and 1,1,2,2-tetra-o-tolylethane through reductive coupling of di-o-tolyl ketone by TiCl3/LiAlH4 in THF is described.The 1H NMR spectra of tetra-o-tolylethene display several coalescences between -90 and 60 degC.Evidenc
