The reactions of a series of α-substituted p-nitrobenzyl chlorides, p- NO2C6H4CH(Cl)R (R = Me, Et, Prt, But), with the lithium salt of 2- nitropropane in dimethyl sulphoxide and dimethylformamide have been studied. When R = Me or Et, competing SRN1 and SN2 processes take place, giving C- and O-alkylated products respectively. In the more sterically hindered cases where R = Pri or But, the only reaction taking place has been shown to be an SRN1 reaction with exclusive O-alkylation. These observations indicate that the SRN1 reaction is prone to steric hindrance, and that radical alkylation of the ambident nitronate ion occurs on the more accessible oxygen atom in sterically hindered situations.

<div> <div> <div> <div> <p>The synthesis of conjugated triynes by molybdenum-catalyzed alkyne metathesis is reported. Strategic to the success of this approach is the utilization of sterically-hindered diynes that allowed for the site- selective alkyne metathesis to produce the desired con- jugated triyne products. The steric hindrance of alkyne moiety was found to be crucial in preventing the for- mation of diyne byproducts. This novel synthetic strategy was amenable to self- and cross-metathesis providing straightforward access to the corresponding symmetrical and dissymmetrical triynes with high selectivity. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div>

Benzo substitution cis to the nitrogen of 2,2'-bipyridyl (bipy), to form 2-(2'-pyridyl)quinoline (pq), transforms the tris-complex with iron(11) from low spin in Fe(bipy)32+ to essentially high spin but near the crossover in Fe(pq)32+. For this complex, the ligand field splitting near the crossover, Δc is estimated from magnetic and spectral data as c. 12000 cm-l. A similar value but 150 cm-l lower is estimated for the analogous complex with the sterically related ligand 2-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline. This apparent difference in Δ values could arise from a direct change in ligand field potential, or from other factors, such as a change in distortion effects. Due to steric hindrance, pq prefers to form bis-complexes Fe(pq)2X2, pseudooctahedral and high spin, with suitable monodentates, X = Cl2 Br, NCS, ClO4. Double benzo substitution of bipy to form 2,2'-biquinolyl (biq) so increases steric hindrance that the tris-complex could not be formed. Instead biq forms pseudotetrahedral complexes Fe(biq)22+ and Fe(biq)X2 (X = Cl, Br).

Nine trialkylamines, triethyl- to trihexylamine trioctyl-, tridodecyl, tri(methyl-2-butyl)-, and dimethyldodecylamine have been used for heats of mixing of the following systems at 298 K: A, fourteen systems made of all the possible binary mixtures (except one) of the six shorter amines; B, twelve systems made of a long chain amine, trioctyl-, tridodecyl- or dimethyldodecylamine with the four shorter members of the series; C, two systems consisting of the mixture of two long-chain compounds, trioctylamine with tridodecyl- and dimethyldodecylamine. Heats for the class A systems are less than or equal to 40 J/mol, indicating no net effect of the small polarity of the shorter members of the series. The experimental HE of these mixtures are compared with two theories. The Monte Carlo approach gives good predictions but the heats calculated with the Snider–Herrington theory are too negative. Heats of the class B systems are suitable for the investigation of two new contributions to the heats of mixing, the positive heat of disordering of long-chains HE(dis.) and the negative heat found in systems where one of the components is sterically hindered, HE(ster.hindr.). HE(dis.) found with the long-chain amines indicates an orientational order larger than in the case of the n-alkane of the same chain-length but equivalent to that found in the tetraalkyltin compounds of the same length. Recent work has shown that the tetrapropyl and tetraethyltin derivatives when mixed with long-chain alkanes or tin derivatives give rise to a HE(ster.hindr.) contribution. From this work and the present study, the steric hindrance contributions of five sterically hindered compounds tetraethyltin and tetrapropyltin, triethyl- and tripropylamine, and 3,3-diethylpentane mixed with different second components are calculated. The steric hindrance contribution is found proportional to the volume of the second component and increasing in the following order of the sterically hindered component: triethyl- < tripropylamine < tetraethyl- < tetrapropyltin < 3,3-diethylpentane. Heats of the class C systems are small without significant contribution of HE(dis.) due to the fitting of the long-chains in solution.

The reaction of β-cyanoester 1 with a two-fold excess of the lithium salt of homoveratrylamine in THF at 0 °C to room temperature affords the imidosuccinimide 3, which undergoes derivation to the succinimide monooxime 4 by treatment with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid.
