The reaction of cyclodeca-1,215triene with mercuric salts
gave only rearranged hydrocarbon, tricyclo[4.4.0.0²'⁴]deca-5ene
in acetic acid. Other catalysts [Rh(CO)₂C1]₂ and AgC10₄ gave
the same rearranged hydrocarbon. The isomerization is proposed
to proceed through a "metalcomplexed" carbenoid intermediate.
The reaction of bicyclo[7.1.0 ]deca-213diene gave
oxymercurated products.
In this work sample, a student teacher implemented ESOL standards and
strategies on a unit covering chemical compositions in a high school chemistry
classroom. The ELD program at this high school has two types of ELD classes. ELD 1/2
classes have a grammar-based curriculum focused on the English Language, while...
Both oxy-Cope and siloxy-Cope rearrangements involve
(1, 3) and (3, 3) sigrnatropic shifts. Both the concerted mechanism,
and the stepwise mechanism via a diradical intermediate are possible.
In a cyclic system such as cis-l-vinylcyclooct-3-en-l-ol, the thermal
rearrangement takes place preferably through a diradical intermediate.
At high temperature, the reaction also...
An approach to the generation of polyketides was investigated,
which involved ozonolysis of 6, 7 cyclopenteno -1> 4, 5, 8 -tetrahydromethoxy-
3-methylnaphthalene (26), to produce what is believed to be
polyketide 27. Compound 26 was formed by the following sequence:
Die ls -Alder addition of 1, 2 -dim.ethylenecyclopentane and 2...
The total synthesis of a highly potent cytotoxic marine natural product, phorboxazole A, is described. Both a palladium(II)-mediated and a palladium(II)-catalyzed intramolecular alkoxycarbonylation were used as key steps for the preparation of the two cis-2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyran rings (C22-C26 and C11-C15) of phorboxazole A.
The synthesis used a convergent approach involving...
Photolysis of pentachlorobenzene was carried out in the absence
of an electron donor species at 254 nm in cetyltrimethylammonium
bromide surfactant solution. The results are consistent with the
excited triplet undergoing homolytic cleavage of a C-Cl bond in
competition with formation of the excimer, in which the radical anion
undergoes...
The photolysis of the aqueous thymine system has been investigated
at 214 nm, 229 nm and 254 nm at room temperature. Products
of photolysis have been identified as hydrogen peroxide, 6-hydroxy-5-
hydroperoxy thymine and tentatively 5-hydroxy-6-hydroperoxy thymine.
These together with thymine loss, were determined quantitatively
under a variety of conditions....
