E30 ENANTIOMERS - CHIRALITY IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
... No bonds are broken when one conformation is converted into another. For example, the following structures represent two of the many possible conformational isomers of ethane. These conformational isomers rapidly interconvert at room temperature and individual isomers cannot be isolated. Ethane may ...

Lecture 1: Key Concepts in Stereoselective Synthesis
... Carbene ligands bind more strongly to the metal than electron-rich phosphines. Their strong -donating and weak -accepting properties make the metal center more electron-rich relative to the analogous metal complex with phosphine ligand (compare metal complexes for alkene metathesis). Therefore the ...

Le Chatelier`s Principle Notes
... If more Fe3+ is added to the reaction, what will happen? According to Le Châtelier's Principle, the system will react to minimize the stress. Since Fe3+ is on the reactant side of this reaction, the rate of the forward reaction will increase in order to "use up" the additional reactant. This will ca ...

Aldehydes and Ketones
... In general, simple alcohols like methanol and ethanol are not used in the formation of acetals (particularly from less-reactive ketones!) The main reason is entropy - you’ve got to get three molecules together to form one - that’s not so good! The very common way around this is to use a glycol - eth ...

Ring-closing metathesis
Ring-closing metathesis, or RCM, is a widely used variation of olefin metathesis in organic chemistry for the synthesis of various unsaturated rings via the intramolecular metathesis of two terminal alkenes, which forms the cycloalkene as the E- or Z- isomers and volatile ethylene.The most commonly synthesized ring sizes are between 5-7 atoms; however, reported syntheses include 45- up to 90- membered macroheterocycles. These reactions are metal-catalyzed and proceed through a metallacyclobutane intermediate. It was first published by Dider Villemin in 1980 describing the synthesis of an Exaltolide precursor, and later become popularized by Robert H. Grubbs and Richard R. Schrock, who shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, along with Yves Chauvin, in 2005 for their combined work in olefin metathesis. RCM is a favorite among organic chemists due to its synthetic utility in the formation of rings, which were previously difficult to access efficiently, and broad substrate scope. Since the only major by-product is ethylene, these reactions may also be considered atom economic, an increasingly important concern in the development of green chemistry.There are several reviews published on ring-closing metathesis.
