The process consists in the replacement of an alpha-hydrogen atom of the ketone by an acyl group. The reaction involves a carbon-carbon condensation. The acylation of ketones with esters has generally been effected by means of a basic reagent, such as sodium, sodium ethoxide, etc. The acylation of ketones to form β-diketones may also occur with acid anhydrides by means of an acidic reagent boron trifluoride. In this chapter the basic reagent and boron trifluoride methods of acylation are considered separately. They are compared with other methods. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Keywords: \u0000 \u0000acylation; \u0000ketones; \u0000β-ketones; \u0000β-aldehdyes; \u0000basic reagents; \u0000boron trifluoride; \u0000comparison of methods; \u0000experimental procedures","PeriodicalId":19539,"journal":{"name":"Organic Reactions","volume":"177 1","pages":"59-196"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77867633","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 replacement of hydrogen by metal in a compound such as acetoacetic acid is not generally classed as a metalation reaction in this sense because the resulting salt is not a typical organometallic compound. This distinction is matter of degree. The ability to yield ortho priducts, usually unmixed with para or other isomers, distinguishes the metalation reaction from the more familiar types of substitutions and makes possible the preparation of many products not readily available by other routes. The derivative most commonly prepared from a metalation product has been the carboxylic acid, made by the reaction of the lithium compound with carbon dioxide. This reaction is useful in the study of metalation products because the usual metalating agents, the alkyllithium compounds, yield volatile acids which are easily separated from the acids of higher molecular weight obtained from the metalated products themselves. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Keywords: \u0000 \u0000metalation reaction; \u0000organolithium compounds; \u0000hydrocarbons; \u0000halides; \u0000amines; \u0000ammonium salts; \u0000sulfur compounds; \u0000ethers; \u0000phenols; \u0000alcohols; \u0000experimental procedures","PeriodicalId":19539,"journal":{"name":"Organic Reactions","volume":"1 1","pages":"258-304"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75135984","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}

Selective substitution of halogens and of alcohol derivatives by various hydrocarbon groups in many different types of organic substrates has been achieved most successfully using organocopper reagents. The wide scope and effectiveness of these reagents in coupling with halides and alcohol derivatives have made formation of the unsymmetrical coupling product R-R' a useful reaction in organic synthesis, allowing efficient and specific substitution of X by alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, or aryl groups. Because selective coupling between organic substrate and organocopper reagent is usually achieved more effectively by stoichiometric than by catalytic organocopper reagents, and more effectively still by organocuprates(I) than by mono-copper or by complexed organocopper reagents, the emphasis in this chapter is on organocuprates (I). Consideration is given to possible mechanisms of substitution reactions using organocopper reagents, to scope, limitations, and synthetic utility of these reactions, and to optimal experimental considerations for their application. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Keywords: \u0000 \u0000substitution reactions; \u0000organocopper reagents; \u0000organic substrate; \u0000stereochemical stability; \u0000dimerization; \u0000structure; \u0000alcohol derivatives; \u0000epoxides; \u0000experimental procedures; \u0000organometallic compounds; \u0000synthetic utility","PeriodicalId":19539,"journal":{"name":"Organic Reactions","volume":"11 1","pages":"253-400"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82076622","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}

Since that time the reaction has extended to rings of many sizes. Olefins almost invariably accompany the alcohols that are formed. The Demjanov rearrangement includes within its scope the rearrangements that occur when acyclic amines are treated with nitrous acid as well as other ring expansion detailed in this chapter. The Tiffeneau-Demjanov ring expansion is used here to designate ring enlargements by pinacolic deamination.
