The sec-butylbenzene produced by solvolysis of 2-phenyl-2-chlorobutane Grignard reagent in (+) 2,3-dimethoxybutane and benzene is optically inactive. The 2-↓-isopropyl-4-↑-methylcyclohexanols obtained by the reducing action of isopropyl Grignard reagent on racemic 2-↓-isopropyl-4-↑-methylcyclohexanone in (+) dimethoxybutane are optically active to the extent of 6 and 15%. The bromomagnesium enolates obtained by the action of isopropyl Grignard reagent on racemic 2-↓-isopropyl-4-↑-methylcyclohexanone in (+) dimethoxybutane regenerate the parent ketone in an optically inactive state but the diastereomeric 2-↑-isopropyl-4-↑-methylcyclohexanone also produced is optically active to the extent of about 6%.

Sulfinyl Group

The pure crystalline diastereomers (1R,2S,5R)-menthyl (R)- and (S)-2-methoxynaphthalene-1-sulfinate (1b) have been prepared and, by reaction with Grignard reagents (the Andersen procedure), converted into optically active alkyl and aryl 2-methoxynaphthyl sulfoxides in 67-77% yields. Use of an excess of Grignard reagent results in facile O-alkyl cleavage of the methoxy group to the corresponding naphthol or a competing loss of the alkyl- or aryl- sulfinyl group to form 2-methoxynaphthalene. Pure diastereomers of menthyl 2,7- dimethoxynaphthalene-1-sulfinate (2b) and menthyl 4-methoxynaphthalene-1-sulfinate (3b) have also been prepared and their reactions with Grignard reagents have been studied.

The Difference

The optical activity of 1-phenylethanol from benzaldehyde and methyl chloride Grignard reagent coordinated with (+)2,3-dimethoxybutane is about one fourth of that found for the same product when bis-methylmagnesium is the reagent. The difference has been attributed to the relative coordinating power of magnesium chloride versus the optically active ether.

Thermal Cleavage

The thermolysis and photolysis of hexamesitylcyclotrigermane in the presence of ethylmagnesium bromide has been investigated. Under photochemical conditions, ethyldimesitylgermane, 1,2-diethyl-1,1,2-trimesityldigermane and ethyl-1,1,2,2-tetramesityldigermane were isolated and, under thermal conditions, 1,2,2-triethyl-1,1-dimesityl digermane and 2,2-diethyl-1,1,1-trimesityldigermane were isolated. The photolysis of hexamesitylcyclotrigermane in the presence of methyllithium has also been investigated. In both cases, the organometallic reagent adds to tetramesityl digermene and dimesitylgermylene formed by photochemical or thermal cleavage of the cyclotrigermane. In the case of the addition of the Grignard reagent, the resulting germyl Grignard reagent undergoes a facile ligand exchange reaction.Key words: digermene, germylene, Grignard reagents, alkyllithium reagents, germylmagnesium compounds, germyllithium compounds.

Plasmon Polariton

We examine the propagation of surface plasmon-polariton terahertz waves along the interface between two media: metal or metamaterial with a negative index and an optically active medium or a nonlinear dielectric. It is shown that in both cases wave profile is not exponential. On the interface of optically active media surface waves are combination of TE and TM localized modes. Diffraction and dispersion of terahertz beams and pulses is studied

Morpholine Derivatives

The stereoselective synthesis of C3-substituted morpholine derivatives has been achieved through a two-step process involving diastereoselective addition of a Grignard reagent to a sulfinyl imine, followed by cyclization.
