Notice that some C-N-C angles strongly deviate from 180°, a characteristic of low-valent isocyanide complexes. [8] Because of their low steric profile and high basicity, isocyanide ligands often install easily, e.g. by treating metal halides with the isocyanide. Many metal cyanides can be N-alkylated to give isocyanide complexes. [9]
Tosyl group (blue) with a generic "R" group attached Tosylate group with a generic "R" group attached. Note the extra oxygen, compared to plain tosyl. In organic chemistry, a toluenesulfonyl group (tosyl group, abbreviated Ts or Tos [nb 1]) is a univalent functional group with the chemical formula −SO 2 −C 6 H 4 −CH 3.
Lithium aluminium hydride, commonly abbreviated to LAH, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Li[Al H 4] or LiAlH 4.It is a white solid, discovered by Finholt, Bond and Schlesinger in 1947. [4]
Illustrative is the synthesis of tert-butyl isocyanide from tert-butylamine in the presence of catalytic amount of the phase transfer catalyst benzyltriethylammonium chloride. [17] Me 3 CNH 2 + CHCl 3 + 3 NaOH → Me 3 CNC + 3 NaCl + 3 H 2 O. As it is only effective for primary amines, this reaction can be used as a chemical test for their ...
In a similar fashion, the intermediate isocyanate can be trapped by tert-butyl alcohol, yielding the tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc)-protected amine. The Hofmann Rearrangement also can be used to yield carbamates from α,β - unsaturated or α- hydroxy amides [ 2 ] [ 8 ] or nitriles from α,β- acetylenic amides [ 2 ] [ 9 ] in good yields (≈70%).
Enantioselective ketone reductions convert prochiral ketones into chiral, non-racemic alcohols and are used heavily for the synthesis of stereodefined alcohols. [1]Carbonyl reduction, the net addition of H 2 across a carbon-oxygen double bond, is an important way to prepare alcohols.
In organic chemistry, the E i mechanism (Elimination Internal/Intramolecular), also known as a thermal syn elimination or a pericyclic syn elimination, is a special type of elimination reaction in which two vicinal (adjacent) substituents on an alkane framework leave simultaneously via a cyclic transition state to form an alkene in a syn elimination. [1]
Sulfonyl groups can be reduced to the sulfide with diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBALH). Lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH 4) reduces some but not all sulfones to sulfides. [1]: 1851 In inorganic chemistry, when the group −S(=O) 2 − is not connected to any carbon atoms, it is referred to as sulfuryl. [3]
