چکیده
Organoiron Complexes, Olefin Isomerization, 1,2-Dimethoxyethylene Displacement of 2-methvlpropene from [Fp(Me2C = CH2)]BF4 (Fp = (/?5-C5H5)Fe(CO)2) by Z-1,2-dimethoxyethylene (Z-DME) gives [Fp(Z-DME)]BF4. Displacement by E-1,2dimethoxyethylene (E-DME), in contrast, does not give the expected complex of E-DME, but rather the complex of the Z-alkene. A mechanism involving scission of the C = C bond of the coordinated alkene to give a bis-carbene intermediate is proposed.

Electrochemical studies are reported on a series of peptides constrained into either a 310-helix (1-6) or β-strand (7-9) conformation, with variable numbers of electron rich alkene containing side chains. Peptides (1 and 2) and (7 and 8) are further constrained into these geometries with a suitable side chain tether introduced by ring closing metathesis (RCM). Peptides 1, 4 and 5, each containi...
متن کاملEasy access to enamides: a mild nickel-catalysed alkene isomerization of allylamides.
The first Ni-catalysed alkene isomerization of allylamides for the synthesis of enamides was demonstrated. Various substituted N-allylamides were found to be suitable substrates for this isomerization. Isotopic labelling experiments showed that it is an intramolecular hydrogen transfer process.

Two reaction strategies are developed to promote the highly selective 1,3-isomerization of a variety of allylic alcohols using O3ReOSiPh3 as a catalyst. The first strategy utilizes substrates whose 1,3-regioisomer contains a conjugated alkene, which relies on thermodynamics to obtain high selectivity. The second strategy employs N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide as an additive to selectively and...

A lkenes are amongst the most versatile functional groups in synthetic organic chemistry. They can be readily functionalized using a broad toolbox of reagent and catalyst-based methods, which provide more complex molecules for a host of applications. Alkenes are most commonly and conveniently prepared using Wittigand Julia-type reactions of carbonyl electrophiles; however, control over the prod...
متن کاملIridium complexes of new NCP pincer ligands: catalytic alkane dehydrogenation and alkene isomerization.
Iridium complexes of novel NCP pincer ligands containing pyridine and phosphinite arms have been synthesized. One Ir complex shows good catalytic activity for alkane dehydrogenation, and all complexes are highly active for olefin isomerization. A combination of the Ir complex and a (PNN)Fe pincer complex catalyzes the formation of linear alkylboronates selectively from internal olefins via sequ...
