With 1-methyl-4-t-butylcyclohexene, oxymercuration yields only one product – still anti addition across the double bond – where water only attacks the more substituted carbon. The reason for anti addition across the double bond is to maximize orbital overlap of the lone pair of water and the empty orbital of the mercuronium ion on the ...
For example, the relative rates of epoxidation increase upon methyl substitution of the alkene (the methyl groups increase the electron density of the double bond by hyperconjugation): ethylene (1, no methyl groups), propene (24, one methyl group), cis-2-butene (500, two methyl groups), 2-methyl-2-butene (6500, three methyl groups), 2,3 ...
In the similar substitution of 1-chloro-3-methyl-2-butene, the secondary 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol is produced in a yield of 85%, while that for the primary 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol is 15%. Allylic shifts occur because the transition state is an allyl intermediate.
The Grubbs group then isolated the proposed metallacyclobutane intermediate in 1980 also with this reagent together with 3-methyl-1-butene: [31] They isolated a similar compound in the total synthesis of capnellene in 1986: [32]
Isoprenol, also known as 3-methylbut-3-en-1-ol, is a hemiterpene alcohol. It is produced industrially as an intermediate to 3-methylbut-2-en-1-ol (prenol): global production in 2001 can be estimated as 6–13 thousand tons.
Alkene oxymercuration-demercuration: Stereospecific: Can only be anti addition – water kicks out the mercury from underneath the intermediate three-membered ring. The reaction is considered Markovnikov as it results in water addition with same regiospecificity as a direct hydration reaction. Alkene hydroboration-oxidation
2-Methyl-2-butene (CAS 513-35-9) Index of chemical compounds with the same molecular formula This set index page lists chemical structure articles associated with the same molecular formula .
This is a thermodynamic argument, and kinetics are ignored. As determined by the enthalpies below the corresponding molecules, the enthalpy of reaction for 2-methyl-1-butene going to 2-methyl-butane is −29.07 kcal/mol, which is in great agreement with the value calculated from NIST, [15] −28.31 kcal/mol. For 2-butanone going to 2-butanol ...
