TL;DR: The conjugate addition of cis- or trans-1-alkenyl-cuprolithium complexes (RCHCH)2CuLi · Xn1 to α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds was found to occur with high retention of double bond geometry, affording isomerically pure cis or transγ, δ-ethylenic carbonyls compounds.
Abstract: The conjugate addition of cis- or trans-1-alkenyl-cuprolithium complexes (RCHCH)2CuLi · Xn1 to α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds was found to occur with high retention of double bond geometry, affording isomerically pure cis- or trans-γ, δ-ethylenic carbonyl compounds. The same 1-alkenylcuprates also react stereospecifically with alkyl halides to give isomerically pure cis- or trans-olefins.

TL;DR: In this paper, a highly selective catalyst system was proposed for the hydroformylation of methyl oleate into methyl 9(10)-formylstearate in high yields.
Abstract: A highly selective catalyst system has been discovered for the hydroformylation of methyl oleate into methyl 9(10)-formylstearate in high yields. A rhodium catalyst in the presence of triphenylphosphine is used with oleic esters, acids or triglycerides. Hydroformylation proceeds smoothly at 95-110C with a 1:1 mixture of H2 and CO at 500 to 2000 psi with or without a solvent, such as toluene. The formylstearate obtained in 90% to 99% conversion from oleate can be either hydrogenated (Raney Ni) or reduced (NaBH4) to hydroxymethylstearate or oxidized (KMnO4) to carboxystearate. According to TLC and mass spectrometry, the methylated carboxystearate consists of about equal proportions of the 9 and 10 isomers. Addition of triphenylphosphine inhibits isomerization of the double bond and leads to the formation of a rhodium carbonyl triphenylphosphine complex, which is apparently the active catalyst. Other known methods for hydroformylation (cobalt carbonyl) and carboxylation (Koch’s method) of oleate give a wide distribution of isomers.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of aromatic amines, their Noxides and the corresponding protonated species are analysed in terms of differential chemical shifts of the N-oxide with respect to the corresponding amine or to the hydrocarbon.
Abstract: The proton NMR. spectra of a series of aromatic amines, their N-oxides and the corresponding protonated species are analysed. The results for different protons are expressed in terms of differential chemical shifts of the N-oxide with respect to the corresponding amine or to the hydrocarbon. These data are compared with calculated shielding values obtained according to the theories of McConnell & Buckingham using published data for the magnetic susceptibilities and electric dipoles of the functional groups. The major part of the shielding by the N-oxide group originates from the electric dipole. If one considers resonance structures for the aromatic N-oxides the single bond structure and the double bond structure for the NO bond are of approximately equal importance.

TL;DR: Doering et al. as discussed by the authors studied the potential energy surface for the concerted insertion of singlet methylene into a C-H bond of methane to form ethane and showed that the reaction path resembles qualitatively that suggested previously by Benson.
Abstract: The potential energy surface for the concerted insertion of singlet methylene into a C-H bond of methane to form ethane is studied by the extended Hiickel method. The reaction path is shown in Figures 5 , 6 , and 7. The reaction begins by a n abstraction-like electrophilic attack of a methylene with its empty p orbital impinging in a slightly nonlinear geometry on the H atom. In the intermediate stage of the reaction the H atom is transferred to the methylene while the C-C distance changes little. The reaction terminates in a collapse to the equilibrium ethane structure. The reaction path resembles qualitatively that suggested previously by Benson. There is no indication o n our surface of a competing pathway involving true abstraction. ubiquitous reaction of singlet methylenes is their A rapid and generally indiscriminate insertion into C-H bonds.’ From the time of the discovery of this reaction by Doering and coworkers2 there has existed the question whether the mechanism of the reaction is a direct concerted one (eq 1) or whether a two-step abstraction-recombination path (eq 2) is followed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a monometallic mechanism of monomer complexation and addition to the growing chain for the isotactic polymerization of an α-olefin in the presence of α-, γ- or δ-TiCl3 is proposed, which avoids the back-jump of the Ti-R bond required by the COSSEE-ARLMAN mechanism.
Abstract: A monometallic mechanism of monomer complexation and addition to the growing chain for the isotactic polymerization of an α-olefin in the presence of α-, γ- or δ-TiCl3 is proposed, which avoids the back-jump of the Ti-R bond required by the COSSEE-ARLMAN mechanism. The overall activation energy for propagation involved in the latter mechanism should be higher than that allowed by the mechanism proposed here, which may be more easily reconciled with the figure found for polypropylene (∼ 5 kcal/mole). The steric requirement for a Ti atom on the side surface of a crystal to be catalytically active is that monomer complexation must be possible on both the Ti valencies pointing outside: this requires the active site to be slightly protruding above the two neighbouring layers. Each active site is intrinsically chiral; the cis-opening of the double bond is in agreement with the mechanism.

TL;DR: In this article, a line-shape analysis of nmr spectra at a series of temperatures was carried out to study the degenerate isomerization of hexafluoroacetone N-phenylimine and its derivatives.
Abstract: The kinetics of the degenerate isomerization about the carbon-nitrogen double bond of hexafluoroacetone N-phenylimine and its p-chloro, p-fluoro, p-methoxy, p-methyl, and p-nitro derivatives have been studied by line-shape analysis of nmr spectra at a series of temperatures. The free energies of activation at 25o were found to be 15.45, 15.53, 15.35, 14.35, 15.14, and 14.90 kcal mol^(-1), respectively. With the exception of the p-nitro compound, the rate constants at 25o give a Hammett plot with a linear correlation coefficient of 0.989 when σ^+ substituent constants are used; the p value is -0.980. The results are interpreted as being the consequence of an inplane inversion about the imine nitrogen of the p-nitro compound and a rotation about the imine carbon-nitrogen bond of the others.

TL;DR: The 2,5-Distyryl pyrazine (C20H16N2) as mentioned in this paper has photo-polymerizability in the crystalline state, and it can be obtained by the direct method and refined by the block-diagonal-matrix least squares method using three-dimensional data.
Abstract: 2,5-Distyrylpyrazine(C20H16N2), which has photo-polymerizability in the crystalline state, crystallizes in the orthorhombic system with cell dimensions of a=20.638, b=9.599, and c=7.655 A, including four molecules in the unit cell. The space group is Pbca. The structure has been determined by the direct method and refined by the block-diagonal-matrix least-squares method using three-dimensional data. The molecules is not planar; the average plane of the pyrazine ring makes a dihedral angle of 12.09° with that of the benzene ring. The molecules are spaced by the c-translation forming an almost parallel plane-to-plane stack. In this stack, the ethylenic double bonds approach each other at the shortest intermolecular distances of 3.939 A, since the long axis of the molecule makes an angle of about 30° with the c-axis. Therefore, the polymerization may occur between these double bonds to form a cyclobutane ring.

TL;DR: In this paper, the double-bond configuration of unsaturated fatty acids is investigated and it is found to be in the eis configuration and the olefinic bonds of polyenoic acids are separated by one methylene group.
Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter describes the fatty acid metabolism. Fatty acids are present in cells throughout nature and are encountered most commonly in ester linkage to a variety of complex lipids. Fatty acids occur in a spectrum of chain lengths from acetic acid to lignoceric acid and in various isomerie or substituted forms such as saturated, unsaturated, hydroxy, or branched-chain acids. Unsaturated fatty acids are thought to have a particularly important role in the structure and function of cellular lipids. The eis configuration of the double bond appears to be ubiquitous for unsaturated fatty acids. In the polyunsaturated acids, the olefinic bonds are present in a polyallyl configuration separated from one another by a methylene group. The unsaturated fatty acids occurring in nature are characterized by several common structural features. The double bonds are generally found to be in the eis configuration and the olefinic bonds of polyenoic acids are separated by one methylene group. A convenient method of classification of unsaturated fatty acids is by the position of the double bond from the ω -CH 3 carbon of the hydrocarbon chain.

TL;DR: The reaction of the hydrides IrH(CO)2(PPh3)2 with allene and with conjugated dienes to give π-ally complexes M(allyl)(CO)(PPh 3)2 has been studied in this article.
Abstract: The hydrides IrH(CO)2(PPh3)2 and RhH(CO)(PPh3)3 react with allene and with certain conjugated dienes to give π-ally complexes M(allyl)(CO)(PPh3)2. The allyl and 2-methylallyl complexes have also been prepared by reaction of the appropriate Grignard reagent with trans-MCl(CO)(PPh3)2. N.m.r. studies show that the allyl groups are dynamic at normal temperatures. The compound Ir(π-2-methylallyl)(CO)(AsPh3)2 was also prepared by the Grignard reaction.The reactions of these species with carbon, monoxide, hydrogen, and hydrogen chloride have been studied by i.r. and n.m.r. techniques. The solids IrR(CO)2(PPh3)2[R = C3H5(allyl) or C4H7(2-methylallyl)] and Ir(COR)(CO)2(PPh3)2[R = C3H5(allyl), C4H7(2-methylallyl and but-2-enyl), C5H9(1,2-dimethylallyl), or C7H13(1-isopropyl-2-methylallyl)] have been isolated. The IrR(CO)2(PPh3)2 complexes have σ-allyl groups in the solid state but exist in solution largely as dynamic π-allyl systems. The acyl complexes Ir(COR)(CO)2(PPh3)2[R = C4H7(but-2-enyl), C5H9, or C7H13] are formed as mixtures of cis- and trans-isomers about the double bond; CO insertion occurs at the unsubstituted end of the allylic system. There is spectroscopic evidence for the existence of Ir(σ-allyl)(CO)3(PPh3) species in solution.

TL;DR: It was shown by mass spectral data that in all isomers the double bond position was in or near the center of the molecule and, that some of the resolved isomers contained an additional positional isomer.
Abstract: The exact position of the double bond and the probable branch assignments of each hydrocarbon isomer ofSarcina lutea andSarcina flava were determined by derivatives and gas chromatography and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. It was shown by mass spectral data that in all isomers the double bond position was in or near the center of the molecule and, that some of the resolved isomers contained an additional positional isomer. The hydrocarbons were identified as containing methyl branches in the iso or anteiso or both configurations, symmetrically and asymmetrically disposed on the ends of the isomers. The assignment of the methyl branches for each tetrad of four isomers as the isomers emerged from the gas chromatographic column was iso-iso’; anteiso-iso; anteiso-anteiso’; and isonormal for odd carbon-numbered chains, and iso-iso’; anteiso-iso; iso-normal; and anteiso-normal for even carbon-numbered chains. A fifth isomer was identified as a normal-olefin.
