Abstract:
Bicyclo-(3,3,0)-octene-(2) is prepared with quantitative conversion and in high yields at substantially room temperature and high reaction rate with the use of a catalytic mixture of nickel compounds and aluminum compounds. The resulting bicyclooctene is a valuable monomer for the production of a high molecular weight polyolefin or a starting material for alicyclic dicarboxylic acids.
Abstract:
Allylidene phosphoranes are prepared by a new process comprising reacting dialkyl aluminum alkylidene amides or bis(N-dialkyl aluminum-imino)alkanes which are obtainable from saturated aliphatic nitriles or dinitriles and dialkyl aluminum hydrides with alkylidene phosphoranes R3CH PR34. The allylidene phosphoranes are useful as intermediate products in the synthesis of 1,3-dienes which include insect attracting substances and flavoring agents, and in the synthesis of 1,5-dienes such as squalene.
