N-Heterocyclic Olefins (NHOs) have very recently emerged as efficient promoters for several chemical reactions due to their strong Bronsted/Lewis basicities. Here we report the novel application of NHOs as efficient...

The rate of the reaction of the lithium enolate of 1-tetralone with alkylhalides was enhanced greatly in the presence of 3 equivalents of 1,1,4,7,10,10-hexamethyltriethylenetramine. The ratio of the monoalkylated product to the dialkylated product was found to have increased under a shorter reaction time.

text] The lithiumenolate 1-Li of 6-phenyl-alpha-tetralone forms a monomer-tetramer equilibrium in THF at 25 degrees C with K(1,4) = 4.7E+10 M(-3). The lithiumenolate 2-Li, however, forms a monomer-dimer equilibrium with K(1,2) = 3800 M(-1). In both cases reaction with benzyl bromide is dominantly with the monomer. The results support an earlier conjecture of House that alkylation of an enolate is frequently
The benzylation of a set of nine ketones provides enough information to establish how the ketone structure affects the existence of a pi-pi interaction. The presence of a phenyl moiety starting from the alpha-carbon atom and flexibility in cyclic ketones are structural features required for effective interactions. The pi-pi interaction is controlled by a polar-pi effect. Stronger interaction is achieved when slight electronwithdrawing groups are present in both pi-system. This results is explained by the predominance of the sigma-pi shells attractive interaction in an edge-to-face geometry. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
