The progress of the reaction can be estimated by disappearance of the characteristic yellow color of the ketene, by loss of the band at about 2100 cm −1 in the infrared spectrum, or by 1 H NMR spectroscopy. Ketene, monoalkylketenes, and dimethylketene are usually allowed to react at or below room temperature, whereas the higher molecular ...
The oxidation of alkenes has attracted much attention. Asymmetric epoxidation is often feasible. [4] One named reaction is the Jacobsen epoxidation, which uses manganese-salen complex as a chiral catalyst and NaOCl as the oxidant. The Sharpless epoxidation using chiral N-heterocyclic ligands and osmium tetroxide. Instead of asymmetric ...
The zirconium-catalyzed asymmetric carbo-alumination reaction (or ZACA reaction) was developed by Nobel laureate Ei-ichi Negishi. [1] It facilitates the chiral functionalization of alkenes using organoaluminium compounds under the influence of chiral bis-indenylzirconium catalysts (e.g. bearing chiral terpene residues, [2] as in (+)- or (−)-bis[(1-neomenthyl)indenyl]zirconium dichloride [3 ...
Alkenes have no classical chirality, so generally, an external stereogenic center must be introduced. However, by locking the alkene into a conformation through the use of an achiral buckle allows for the creation of an inherently chiral alkene. Inherently chiral alkenes have been synthesized through the use of dialkoxysilanes, with a large ...
The reaction has been applied to alkenes of virtually every substitution, often high enantioselectivities are realized, with the chiral outcome controlled by the choice of dihydroquinidine (DHQD) vs dihydroquinine (DHQ) as the ligand. Asymmetric dihydroxylation reactions are also highly site selective, providing products derived from reaction ...
The Shi epoxidation is a chemical reaction described as the asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes with oxone (potassium peroxymonosulfate) and a fructose-derived catalyst (1). This reaction is thought to proceed via a dioxirane intermediate, generated from the catalyst ketone by oxone (potassium peroxymonosulfate). The addition of the sulfate group ...
Catalyzed hydroboration-oxidation of substituted alkenes can be rendered enantioselective. In 1990, Brown and co-workers achieved asymmetric hydroboration using an achiral catalyst and chiral borane sources derived from ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. In most cases, the regioselectivity was poor although the ee values can be close to 90%. [16]
The intramolecular Heck reaction (IMHR) in chemistry is the coupling of an aryl or alkenyl halide with an alkene in the same molecule. The reaction may be used to produce carbocyclic or heterocyclic organic compounds with a variety of ring sizes. Chiral palladium complexes can be used to synthesize chiral intramolecular Heck reaction products ...
