A variety of α,β-unsaturated esters and cyclic ketones underwent smooth reduction of the carbon–carbon double bond with a combination of inexpensive and readily available trichlorosilane and CoCl2. The reactions are performed under very mild conditions and products are obtained in high yields.Key words: reduction, carbonyl compounds, trichlorosilane, ketones, chemoselectivity.

The carbon–carbon double bond formation via neodymium-mediated Barbier-type reaction of ketones and allyl halides in the presence of diethyl phosphite is reported for the first time. The reaction is highly α-regioselective and was conveniently carried out under mild conditions in a one-pot fashion. From a synthetic point of view, a series of conjugated alkenes were obtained in moderate to good yields in this one-pot reaction with feasible reaction conditions.

The products of the photochemical reaction of 2-cyclopentenone with 1,6-heptadiene and with vinylcyclopropane have been examined. With 1,6-heptadiene the products were cyclobutanes, which arise from 2 + 2 photocycloaddition between the cyclopentenone carbon–carbon double bond and one of the two terminal double bonds of the heptadiene. The 1,4-biradical that is an intermediate in this reaction contains a derivative of a 1-hexenyl radical; no products derived from cyclization of this intermediate to a cyclopentylmethyl radical were observed. With vinylcyclopropane some of the products isolated also arose from 2 + 2 photocycloaddition; in addition, comparable quantities of products resulting from rearrangement of the intermediate 1,4-biradical were obtained. In this case the initially produced intermediate 1,4-biradical contains a cyclopropylmethyl radical that can rearrange to a homoallylic radical; the products isolated were derived from intramolecular disproportionation in the new 1,7-biradical containing the homoallylic radical. The rate constant for the rearrangement of the cyclopropylmethyl radical to the homoallylic radical is known and was used as a clock to estimate the lifetime of the initially produced 1,4-biradical. The value estimated is of the order of 50 ns. The structures of the products indicate that the initial bonding between the excited cyclopentenone and vinylcyclopropane takes place at both the α-position and the β-position of the enone and not exclusively at the α-position as a recent report claims. Keywords: enone photocycloaddition, 1,4-biradicals, radical clocks.

Abstract Thioglycolic acid added exothermally to butadiene polymers and copolymers in benzene solution under mild conditions to give apparent double-bond saturation values of 38 to 47 per cent. When the same polymers reacted with aliphatic thiols of C2 to C16 chain length, in mass or latex reactions, saturation values were obtained which were in accord with those found by thioglycolic acid addition. It is suggested that the double bonds in butadiene polymers and copolymers which were readily saturated by the above thiols are predominately those present in the polymer chains as vinyl side groups.

N-(Alk-1-en-1-yl)carbamates bearing an endocyclic carbon-carbon double bond have been prepared by the reaction of unsubstituted carbamates with tetrahydronaphthalen-2-one and chroman-2-one derivatives in the presence of a catalytic amount of 4-methylbenzene-1-sulfonic acid.
