In addition to the already known accelerating effect, the presence of oxygen strongly affected the product distribution. For 2-substituted 1,3-dienes in the presence of oxygen the regioselectivity was in the range of 1 ∶ 6 to 1 ∶ 10 in favour of the head-product, while the absence of oxygen changed the ratios to 1 ∶ 1 to 3 ∶ 1 in favour of the tail-product. When HSiPh3 was used in the presence of oxygen a single isomer was isolated in 87% yield, while in the absence of oxygen a mixture of products was produced. Control experiments indicated that a heterogeneous/colloidal catalytic system may be responsible for the preferred head-product formation.","PeriodicalId":17260,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions 2","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79074084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reaction kinetics of the transformations have been studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy, using deuterated chloroform or acetone as the NMR solvents. A key intermediate in the reaction mechanisms is the allylic carbocation 6, which rearranges to give the fused system 3; in the presence of bromide anions, the carbocation forms an ion-pair intermediate 7, leading to the formation of compounds 2, 4 and/or 5, depending on the solvent.","PeriodicalId":17260,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions 2","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78390027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The diketone molecule exhibits a much more open conformation. In both molecules, the linkage of the polyether chain to the pyridine ring is essentially cis to the nitrogen atom. A partial localization of double bonds of the asymmetrically substituted pyridine rings of both structures is noted.","PeriodicalId":17260,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions 2","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80767413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
