The retro-ene reaction of 2-vinylcyclohexanols occurs readily
in the vapor phase at 400-450° producing unsaturated carbonyl
compounds in good yields. The starting- materials were prepared in
general by the carbenoid addition reaction of ethyl diazoacetate,
appropriately substituted cyclohexene, and copper catalyst to
produce bicyclic esters which were reduced to the...
The relative rates of hydrogen abstraction from 1-phenylalkanes and a,w-diphenylalkanes using N-bromosuccinimide and bromotrichloromethane were determined at 70°C. In both cases the reactions were photoinitiated. Only benzylic bromination was observed. The 1-phenylalkanes reacted with both reagents to give rates largely independent of substrate. Similarly, the rate of the reaction between...
The unique reaction between 4, 6-dimethoxy-5-nitropyrimidine
and methylhydrazine was investigated. The reaction product was
identified as 4-hydrazino-6-hydroxypyrimidine from (a) spectral
data, (b) by direct synthesis of the product via 4-chloro-6-hydroxypyrimidine
and hydrazine, and (c) by conversion of the product to
the known 4-amino-6-hydroxypyrimidine using Raney nickel. The
product was not...
The present study has consisted primarily of an investigation
of the rates of isotopic sulfur exchange between sulfur dioxide and
various sulfur (VI) solutions, both 100% H₂SO₄ and, in particular,
related ammonia-containing sulfur (VI) solutions. One of the main
objects of the work was to obtain a comparison between exchange...
In this investigation the addition of hydrogen bromide
to 3-methylcyclohexene has been studied in order to see if
the theory of hyperconjugation could be extended to include
olefins of this type. Since the olefin has an equal number
of hydrogens on both carbons carrying the double bond, a
mixture of...
