  Organic reaction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In organic synthesis, organic reactions are used in the construction of new organic molecules.
The stereochemistry of pericyclic reactions is governed by the Woodward-Hoffmann rules and that of many elimination reactions by the Zaitsev's rule.
Organic reactions can be categorized based on the type of functional group involved in the reaction as a reactant and the functional group that is formed as a result of this reaction.

An electrocyclic reaction is the concerted cyclization of a conjugated π-electron system by converting one π-bond to a ring forming σ-bond.
Ene reactions are favored when the hydrogen accepting reagent, the "enophile", is electrophilic.
Since ene reactions usually involve coupled bond-making & bond-breaking operations asociated with short π-electron systems (2 or 3 carbons), their stereospecificity is almost always suprafacial with respect to both components.

The ene reaction, which is known in the prior art, involves the addition of a compound with a double bond (enophile) to an olefin possessing an allylic hydrogen (ene) and involves allylic shift of the double bond, transfer of the allylic hydrogen to the enophile and bonding between the two unsaturated termini.
This reaction may be carried out in any conventional inert solvent, for example, methylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene and the like, and lower aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexane, octane and the like.
The reaction is catalyzed by Lewis acids such as lower alkyl aluminum dihalides and aluminum trihalides in weak base as exemplified by ethylaluminum dichloride, aluminum tribromide with pyridine and aluminum chloride with pyridine.

Leach and Houk's mechanism for the ene reaction between HNO and propene Org.
Their main conclusion is that the reaction takes place in a stepwise manner: initial addition of the nitroso compound to the alkene occurs to give a diradical intermediate (2) with a new C-N bond, which then undergoes intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer from carbon to oxygen to give the product (4).
In the nitroso ene reactions considered, a mechanism in which such rotations occurred would still lead to the same products, but some of the KIEs would be different.

 Asymmetric Induction via an Intramolecular Haloetherification Reaction of Chiral Ene Acetals   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
This extremely high stereoselectivity in haloetherification reaction is probably due to a large stability difference between the two cis-intermediate, since endo-isomer has a large steric repulsion not only between the substituents and the bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane skeleton but also between the 1,3-dioxolane skeleton and the bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane skeleton as discussed in our earlier paper.
High selectivity in these haloetherification reaction could be due to the preference of the intramolecular reaction over that of the intermolecular one, in addition to the high reactivity of norbornene olefin to form the bromonium ion because of its non-hyperconjugated character.
In this case, since both the norbornene olefin and the diol olefin are equidistant from the acetal oxygen and in addition, both the olefins are expected to form a 5-membered transition state with the acetal oxygen, it is of great interest to examine their relative reactivities.

In our group we study the ene reaction, in which the enophile in activated by an electron withdrawing group, and the carbonyl ene reaction where the enophile is an aldehyde.
When forming six-membered rings via the ene reaction, the trans product is usually favoured, as the preferred reactive conformation is a pseudo-chair in which the bulky groups lie pseudo-equatorial.

This allylic system reacts similarly to a diene in a Diels-Alder Reaction, while in this case the other partner is called an enophile, analogous to the dienophile in the Diels-Alder.
The reaction requires higher temperatures because of the higher activation energy and stereoelectronic requirement of breaking the allylic C-H σ-bond.

 Singlet Oxygen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
There are also several chemical methods of generating singlet oxygen, most notably the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with hypochlorite.
Singlet oxygen has a lifetime of under a second, but it is very much more reactive towards organic compounds than is triplet oxygen, reacting readily with alkenes (ene reaction to form allylic hydroperoxides), dienes (cycloaddition to form 1,2-dioxanes), electron-rich aromatic compounds, phosphines, sulfides and selenides (to form oxides).
Note that the singlet oxygen ene reaction corresponds to an allylic oxidation with migration of the double bond, analogous to the sequence epoxidation, elimination.

This necessitates the need to understand the modes of photo-oxidation reactions of hydrocarbons structurally related to constituents of crude oils and their processed fractions.(Anderson, 1992).The photo-oxidation reaction of 6-methyl-1-phenylcyclohexene showed that the tri-substituted cycloalkene reacted in the 'ene' and [2 + 4] cycloaddition modes to give hydroperoxide and bis(endoperoxide) products respectively (Fekarurhobo, 1997)..
The formation of the hydroperoxides (2) and (3) in the 'ene' reaction of (1) is explainable on the basis of abstractions of the axial H
The photo-oxidation reaction of (1) differs remarkably from that of 6-methyl-1-phenylcyclohexene (Fekarurhobo, 1997) in that no bis(endoperoxide) was formed in the present reaction.  Bis(endoperoxides) are formed from cisoid 1,3-dienes in a concerted mechanism, which requires the coplanarity of the reacting  olefinic bonds (Wasserman, 1979).

The focus of Zhang's research is to develop a useful chiral toolbox (n ligands) for strategically important asymmetric catalytic reactions (m reactions) by inventing a diverse set of novel chiral ligands and combining them with transition metals as effective enantioselective catalysts.
The common feature of these ligands is that they contain rigid aromatic backbones or ring structures that could be used to restrict conformational flexibility of the ligands, and thus the efficiency of chiral transfer can be enhanced through the ligand rigidity.
The following reactions have been studied: asymmetric hydrogenation of functionalized substrates such as N-acylaminoacrylic acids, enamides, enol acetates; asymmetric hydrogenation of simple olefins, ketones, and imines; and asymmetric carbon-carbon bond formation reactions.
