Thus, cyclohexene, diiodomethane, and a zinc-copper couple (as iodomethylzinc iodide, ICH 2 ZnI) yield norcarane (bicyclo[4.1.0]heptane). [5] [6]The Simmons–Smith reaction is generally preferred over other methods of cyclopropanation, [7] however it can be expensive due to the high cost of diiodomethane.
The second part of the reaction converts the isolable gem-dibromoalkene intermediate to the alkyne. Deuterium-labelling studies show that this step proceeds through a carbene mechanism. Lithium-Bromide exchange is followed by α-elimination to afford the carbene. 1,2-shift then affords the deuterium-labelled terminal alkyne. [3]
Alternative Mechanism. The Corey-Winter olefination is a stereospecific reaction: [1] a trans-diol gives a trans-alkene, while a cis-diol gives a cis-alkene as the product. For instance, cis- and trans-1,2-cyclodecanediol gives the respective cis- and trans-cyclodecene.
Although the mechanisms of each of these reactions differ somewhat, in each case the chiral catalyst or reagent must be involved in the enantio determining conjugate addition step. Cis-epoxides are difficult to access using nucleophilic epoxidation methods. Nearly all nucleophilic epoxidations of cis olefins afford trans epoxides.
1,2-Dibromoethylene, also known as 1,2-dibromoethene and acetylene dibromide, is a dihalogenated unsaturated compound with one bromine on each of the two carbon atoms. There are two isomers of this compound, cis and trans .
[1] [2] The method was established in 1981 by Ulrich Schöllkopf. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] In it glycine is a substrate, valine a chiral auxiliary and the reaction taking place an alkylation. Reaction mechanism
The gauche effect is very sensitive to solvent effects, due to the large difference in polarity between the two conformers.For example, 2,3-dinitro-2,3-dimethylbutane, which in the solid state exists only in the gauche conformation, prefers the gauche conformer in benzene solution by a ratio of 79:21, but in carbon tetrachloride, it prefers the anti conformer by a ratio of 58:42.

The Shapiro reaction or tosylhydrazone decomposition is an organic reaction in which a ketone or aldehyde is converted to an alkene through an intermediate hydrazone in the presence of 2 equivalents of organolithium reagent. [1] [2] [3] The reaction was discovered by Robert H. Shapiro in 1967. [4]
