Alkenyl bromides by brominative deoxygenation of ketones in one or two steps
Von Roman,Ruhdorfer,Knorr
, p. 985 - 992 (2007/10/02)
The conversion of ketones into alkenyl bromides is accomplished in one or two steps by 2,2,2-tribromo-2,2-dihydro-1,3,2-benzodioxaphosphole or by the dibromomethyl methyl ether prepared therefrom. Investigations of the scope and limitations provide some hints for the preparative planning and improvement.
Vinyl Cation Intermediates in Solvolytic and Electrophilic Reactions. 1. Solvolysis of α-Arylvinyl Derivatives
Yates, Keith,Mandrapilias, George

The solvolysis of 16 α-arylvinyl tosylates, bromides, and chlorides has been investigated in various alcohol-water mixtures and in acetic acid at several temperatures.All substrates were substituted with either 2-methyl or 2,6-dimethyl groups to accelerate the rates of reaction.The major or exclusive product isolated in most cases was the acetophenone arising from hydrolysis of the expected enol ethers or acetates during workup.The kinetics were simple first order in the vast majority of cases, with excess base added to prevent side reactions.Leaving group effects, Winstein-Grunwald m values, Schleyer Q values, and effects of solvent nucleophilicity all point to a limiting SN1 ionization generating a vinyl cation intermediate, in which there is little rear-side nucleophilic assistance by solvent.Substituent effects led to ρ values in the range -3.9 to -5.3 vs. ?+.Activation parameters are typical for an SN1 process, and ΔS% is insensitive to the presence of zero, one, or two o-methyl groups, as are the effects of solvent polarity on the rates.The results should therefore be directly comparable with other solvolytic or electrophilic reactions generating formally similar vinyl cation intermediates.
