TL;DR: In this article, a structural analysis of hydride and hydrocarbyl derivatives of permethylscandocene has been carried out, and the possibility of involvement of the π-bond system in electrophilic activation of aromatic and vinylic C-H bonds has been examined.
Abstract: The authors report herein synthetic and structural studies of hydride and hydrocarbyl derivatives of permethylscandocene, together with investigations of their reactivities with H/sub 2/ and hydrocarbons. Experiments designed to probe the mechanism of these processes have been carried out, and the possibility of involvement of the ..pi.. system in electrophilic activation of aromatic and vinylic C-H bonds has been examined. A picture of the transition state for such sigma-bond metathesis reactions is developed, which accounts for the relative reactivities of sp-, sp/sup 2/-, and sp/sup 3/-hybridized C-H bonds with Cp*/sub 2/Sc-R (R = H, alkyl, aryl).

Book ChapterDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the organometallic chemistry of molybdenum and tungsten alkoxides, according to ligand type, is discussed, and the most important aspect of the reactivity of alkylidene alkoxide complexes is their ability to catalyze alkene metathesis.
Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the organometallic chemistry of molybdenum and tungsten alkoxides, according to ligand type Organotransition metal chemistry has largely developed with the support of soft, π acceptor ligands, such as carbon monoxide, tertiary phosphines, and cyclopentadienyls. The successive replacement of alkoxide ligands by the poor π-donor halide ligands results in a progressive and substantial downfield shift in the resonance for the alkylidene Cα, reflecting an increasing electron deficiency at this site. The most important aspect of the reactivity of alkylidene alkoxide complexes is their ability to catalyze alkene metathesis. The several examples of alkylidene complexes with β-hydrogens prepared by Osborn's group are unprecedented for unsaturated complexes. The most important aspect of the reactivity of alkylidyne alkoxide complexes is their ability to catalyze the metathesis of alkynes. Several of the metallacyclic compounds have been characterized by X-ray crystallography, confirming proposed geometries and providing insights into the function of supporting ligands and the nature of catalytic intermediates. The most significant aspect of tungstenacyclobutadiene chemistry is the prospect that the compounds are intermediates in catalytic alkyne metathesis.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, an anionic to metathesis transformation reaction has been devised to study the mechanism of initiation of the cyclic alkenes and, by inference, the metatheses also.
Abstract: An anionic to metathesis transformation reaction has been devised to study the mechanism of initiation of the metathesis ring-opening polymerisation of cyclic alkenes and, by inference, the metathesis of alkenes also. The products of the reaction have been analysed by g.p.c. using a dual detector system to establish that block copolymers are formed when polystyryl lithium and tungsten hexachloride are used as initiator for the polymerisation of cyclopentene. A mechanism is proposed for the incorporation of polystyrene segments during the initiation step involving the formation of a bimetallic bridged complex that rearranges to form the active centre. There is also evidence that polystyrene segments are introduced during the termination reaction of the kinetic chain.

TL;DR: In this article, the degradation of poly(butadiene-alt-propene) (1) was degraded by metathesis reaction using symmetric olefins (3-hexene and 4-octene) in chlorobenzene solution in the presence of WCl6/(CH3)4Sn as catalyst.
Abstract: Poly(butadiene-alt-propene) (1) was degraded by metathesis reaction using symmetric olefins (3-hexene and 4-octene) in chlorobenzene solution in the presence of WCl6/(CH3)4Sn as catalyst. Identification of the degradation products by means of a combination of gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) revealed small amounts of “defects” in the almost ideally alternating copolymer 1. These were non-alternating sequences of 2-butenylene and methylethylene units, vinylethylene units and branching points. In addition, the metathesis degradation of 1 with 4-octene was investigated kinetically between 15 and 40°C. The measurements confirm that the thermodynamically stable 4-methylcyclohexene is the final product. This can be formed directly from the polymer and via oligomeric products. The formation of these intermediates is preceded by an induction period. Their concentrations pass maxima, the positions of which depend on the size of the molecules and on the temperature.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The syllable weight approach is shown to apply to all instances and absences of metathesis in Gascon and is able to predict its occurrence under a single rule accounting for all possibly relevant environments.
Abstract: This paper presents a systematic diachronic study of metathesis in Gascon, in dialect of Occitan. A method of weighing syllables is proposed to arrive at a rule-account of metathesis and the analysis is based on the claim that the difference in weight between two contiguous syllables can explain the metathesis process. The syllable weight approach is shown to apply to all instances and absences of metathesis in Gascon and is able to predict its occurrence under a single rule accounting for all possibly relevant environments.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the polymer structure was investigated via metathesis degradation with (E)-4-octene and the degradation products were identified by means of a GC/MS system and determined by GC.
Abstract: 1,4-Polybutadiene was partially phenylated in allyl position by bromination with N-bromosuccinimide and subsequent Grignard-Wurtz reaction with phenylmagnesium bromide. Substitution was to a certain degree coupled with double bond shift. The polymer structure was investigated via metathesis degradation with (E)-4-octene. The degradation products were identified by means of a GC/MS system and determined by GC. Cases of isomerism of products with one phenyl group were investigated. A metathesis product with two phenyl groups in one constitutional unit was found. A distribution function, based on a statistical scission of the macromolecules, was used for evaluations at different metathesis reaction times. Proofs of the reduced reactivity of CC double bonds in the neighbourhood of substituents were received. The yields of the different constitutional units in metathesis products were determined. These were compared with the results of computer simulations in a simplified model. The validity of computer simulations was thereby confirmed.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the infrared and high-field 13C-n.m. spectra of different polymers were analyzed and it was shown that the Mo-based initiator gives predominantly transvinylene units; the Re-based system shows the greatest tendency towards stereoregulation and gives predominantly cis-vinylenes; and the other catalysts are unselective in this respect.
Abstract: 2-Trifluoromethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene undergoes metathesis ring-opening polymerization under the influence of the initiators WCl6/(CH3)4Sn, MoCl5/(CH3)4Sn, OsCl3, RuCl3, IrCl3 and ReCl5. Analysis of the infrared and high-field 13C-n.m.r. spectra of the different polymers leads to the following conclusions: the Mo based initiator gives predominantly trans-vinylene units; the Re based system shows the greatest tendency towards stereoregulation and gives predominantly cis-vinylenes; and the other catalysts are unselective in this respect. 2-Trifluoromethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene is more readily polymerized than its 2,3-bis(trifluoromethyl) analogue; both monomers display no vinylene stereoselectivity with the very reactive W based initiator, whereas with both Mo and Ru based initiators the disubstituted monomer displays significantly greater trans-vinylene selectivity.
