Foreword
I don't have my name on anything that I don't really do. –Heidi Klum Can the organic chemists associated with so-called “Named Reactions” make the same claim as supermodel Heidi Klum? Many scholars of chemistry do not hesitate to point out that the names associated with “name reactions” are often not the actual inventors. For instance, the Arndt-Eistert reaction has nothing to do with either Arndt or Eistert, Pummerer did not discover the “Pummerer” rearrangement, and even the famous Birch reduction owes its initial discovery to someone named Charles Wooster (first reported in a DuPont patent). The list goes on and on… But does that mean we should ignore, boycott, or outlaw “named reactions”? Absolutely not. The above examples are merely exceptions to the rule. In fact, the chemists associated with name reactions are typically the original discoverers, contribute greatly to its general use, and/or are the first to popularize the transformation. Regardless of the controversial history underlying certain named reactions, it is the students of organic chemistry who benefit the most from the cataloging of reactions by name. Indeed, it is with education in mind that Dr. Jack Li has masterfully brought the chemical community the latest edition of Name Reactions. It is clear why this beautiful treatise has rapidly become a bestseller within the chemical community. The quintessence of hundreds of named reactions is encapsulated in a concise format that is ideal for students and seasoned chemists alike. Detailed mechanistic and occasionally even historical details are given for hundreds of reactions along with key references. This “must-have” book will undoubtedly find a place on the bookshelves of all serious practitioners and students of the art and science of synthesis.
Phil S. Baran La Jolla, March 2006
Preface Confucius said: “Reviewing old knowledge while learning new old knowledge, is that not, after all, a pleasure?” Indeed, name reactions are not only the fruit of pioneering organic chemists, but also our contemporaries whose combined discoveries have resulted in organic chemistry today. Since publication of this book, Barry Sharpless and Ryoji Noyori, whose name reactions have been included since the first edition, went on to win the Nobel Prizes in 2001. Recently, Richard Schrock, Robert Grubbs, and Yves Chauvin shared the 2005 Nobel Prize in chemistry for their contributions to metathesis, a name reaction that has been also included since the first edition. Therefore, I intend to keep up with the new developments in the field of organic chemistry while retaining the collection of name reactions that have withheld test of time. The third edition contains major improvements over the previous two editions. I have updated references. Each reaction is now supplemented with two to three representative examples in synthesis to showcase its synthetic utility. As Emil Fischer stated: “Science is not an abstraction; but as a product of human endeavor it is inseparably bound up in its development with the personalities and fortunes of those who dedicate themselves to it.” To that end, I added biographical sketches for most of the chemists who discovered or developed those name reactions. Furthemore, I have significantly beefed up the subject index to help the reader navigate the book more easily. In preparing this manuscript, I have incurred many debts of gratitude to Prof. Reto Mueller of Switzerland, Prof. Robin Ferrier of New Zealand, and Prof. James M. Cook of the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee; Dr. Yike Ni of California Institute of Technology, and Dr. Shengping Zheng of Columbia University for invaluable suggestions. I also wish to thank Dr. Gilles Chambournier, Prof. Phil S. Baran of Scripps Research Institute and his students, Narendra Ambhaikar, Ben Hafensteiner, Carlos Guerrero, and Dan O’Malley, Prof. Brian M. Stoltz of California Institute of Technology and his students, Kevin Allan, Daniel Caspi, David Ebner, Andrew Harned, Shyam Krishnan, Michael Krout, Qi Charles Liu, Sandy Ma, Justin Mohr, John Phillips, Jennifer Roizen, Brinton Seashore-Ludlow, Nathaniel Sherden, Jennifer Stockdill, and Carolyn Woodroofe for proofreading the final draft of the manuscript. Their knowledge and time have tremendously enhanced the quality of this book. Any remaining errors are, of course, solely my own responsibility. I welcome your critique.

Wurtz, C. A. Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr. 1872, 17, 436. Charles Adolphe Wurtz (18171884) was born in Strasbourg, France. After his doctoral training, he spent a year under Liebig in 1843. In 1874, Wurtz became a chair of organic chemistry at the Sorbonne, where he educated many illustrous chemists such as Crafts, Fittig, Friedel, and van’t Hoff. The Wurtz reaction is no longer considered synthetically useful, although the aldol reaction that Wurtz discovered in 1872 has become a staple in organic synthesis. Nielsen, A. T.; Houlihan, W. J.

Allan, J.; Robinson, R. J. Chem. Soc. 1924, 125, 2192. Robert Robinson (United Kingdom, 18861975) won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1947 for his studies on alkaloids. However, Robinson himself considered his greatest contribution to science was that he founded the qualitative theory of electronic mechanisms in organic chemistry. Robinson, along with Lapworth (a friend) and Ingold (a rival), pioneered the arrow pushing approach to organic reaction mechanism. Robinson was also an accomplished pianist. J. Allan, his student, also coauthored another important paper with Robinson on the relative directive powers of groups for aromatic substitution. Széll, T.; Dózsai, L.; Zarándy, M.; Menyhárth, K.

References v. Baeyer, A.; Villiger, V. Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1899, 32, 3625. Adolf von Baeyer (18351917) was one of the most illustrious organic chemists in history. He contributed in many areas of the field. The Baeyer-Drewson indigo synthesis made possible the commercialization of synthetic indigo. Baeyer’s other claim of fame is his synthesis of barbituric acid, named after his girlfriend, Barbara. Baeyer’s real joy was in his laboratory and he deplored any outside work that took him away from his bench. When a visitor expressed envy that fortune had blessed so much of Baeyer’s work with success, Baeyer retorted dryly: “Herr Kollege, I experiment more than you.” As a scientist, Baeyer was free of vanity. Unlike other scholastic masters of his time (Liebig for instance), he was always ready to acknowledge ungrudgingly the merits of others. Baeyer’s famous greenish-black hat was a part of his perpetual wardrobe and he had a ritual of tipping his hat when he admired novel compounds. Adolf von Baeyer received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1905 at age seventy. His apprentice, Emil Fischer, won it in 1902 when he was fifty, three years before his teacher. Victor Villiger (18681934), born in Switzerland, went to Munich to work with Adolf von Baeyer for eleven years. 2. Krow, G. R. Tetrahedron 1981, 37, 2697. 3. Krow, G. R. Org. React. 1993, 43, 251798.

Bamford–Stevens reaction The BamfordStevens reaction and the Shapiro reaction share a similar mechanistic pathway. The former uses a base such as Na, NaOMe, LiH, NaH, NaNH2, heat, etc., whereas the latter employs bases such as alkyllithiums and Grignard reagents. As a result, the BamfordStevens reaction furnishes more-substituted olefins as the thermodynamic products, while the Shapiro reaction generally affords less-substituted olefins as the kinetic products.

Barbier coupling reaction In essence, the Barbier coupling reaction is a Grignard reaction carried out in situ, although its discovery preceded that of the Grignard reaction by a year. Cf. Grignard reaction.

According to conventional wisdom,3 the organometallic intermediate (M = Mg, Li, Sm, Zn, La, etc.) is generated in situ, which is intermediately trapped by the carbonyl compound. However, recent experimental and theoretical studies seem to suggest that the Barbier coupling reaction goes through a single electron transfer pathway. Generation of the Grignard reagent,

References Barton, D. H. R.; Beaton, J. M.; Geller, L. E.; Pechet, M. M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1960, 82, 2640. In 1960, Derek Barton took a “vacation” in Cambridge, Massachusetts; he worked in a small research institute called the Research Institute for Medicine and Chemistry. In order to make the adrenocortical hormone aldosterol, Barton invented the Barton nitrite photolysis by simply writing down on a piece of paper what he thought would be an ideal process. His skilled collaborator, Dr. John Beaton, was able to reduce it to practice. They were able to make 40 to 50 g of aldosterol at a time when the total world supply was only about 10 mg. Barton considered it his most satisfying piece of work. 2. Barton, D. H. R.; Beaton, J. M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1960, 82, 2641. 3. Barton, D. H. R.; Beaton, J. M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1961, 83, 4083. 4.

Baylis–Hillman reaction Also known as Morita–Baylis–Hillman reaction, and occasionally known as Rauhut–Currier reaction. It is a carboncarbon bond-forming transformation of an electron-poor alkene with a carbon electrophile. Electron-poor alkenes include acrylic esters, acrylonitriles, vinyl ketones, vinyl sulfones, and acroleins. On the other hand, carbon electrophiles may be aldehydes, D-alkoxycarbonyl ketones, aldimines, and Michael acceptors. General scheme:

Liebig, J. Ann. 1838, 27. Justus von Liebig (18031873) pursued his Ph.D. in organic chemistry in Paris under the tutelage of Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac (17781850). He was appointed the Chair of Chemistry at Giessen University, which incited a furious jealousy amongst several of the professors already working there because he was so young. Fortunately, time would prove the choice was a wise one for the department.
46
Liebig would soon transform Giessen from a sleepy university to the Mecca of organic chemistry in Europe. Liebig is now considered the father of organic chemistry. Many classic name reactions were published in the journal that still bears his name, Justus Liebigs Annalen der Chemie.2 2. Zinin, N. Justus Liebigs Ann. Chem. 1839, 31, 329. 3.

He was a Professor of Chemistry at Petrograd, a position once held by Dimitri Mendeleyev and Paul Walden. In addition to terpenoids, Chugaev also investigated nickel and platinum chemistry. He completely devoted his life to science. The light in Chugaev’s study would invariably burn until 4 to 5 a.m. Chande, M. S.; Pranjpe, S. D. Indian J. Chem. 1973, 11, 1206.

He received the M.S. degree from the Royal Polytechnic Institute in Copenhagen. In 1900, Clemmensen immigrated to the United States, and worked at Parke, Davis and Company in Detroit (now part of Pfizer) as a research chemist for 14 years, where he discovered the reduction of carbonyl compounds with amalgamated zinc. Clemmensen later founded a few chemical companies and was the president of one of them, the Clemmensen Chemical Corporation in Newark, New York. 2. Martin, E. L. Org. React. 1942, 1, 155209.

In 1928, Henry Dakin and Rudolf West, a clinician, reported on the reaction of D-amino acids with acetic anhydride to give D-acetamido ketones via azalactone intermediates. Interestingly, one year before this paper by Dakin and West, Levene and Steiger had observed both tyrosine and D-phenylananine gave “abnormal” products when acetylated under these conditions.2,3 Unfortunately, they were slow to identify the products and lost an opportunity to be immortalized by a name reaction.

Dess, D. B.; Martin, J. C. J. Org. Chem. 1983, 48, 4155. James Cullen (J. C.) Martin (19281999) had a distinguished career spanning 36 years both at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Vanderbilt University. J. C.’s formal training in physical organic chemistry with Don Pearson at Vanderbilt and P. D. Bartlett at Harvard prepared him well for his early studies on carbocations and radicals. However, it was his interest in understanding the limits of chemical bonding that led to his landmark investigations into hypervalent compounds of the main group elements. Over a 20-year period the Martin laboratories successfully prepared unprecedented chemical structures from sulfur, phosphorus, silicon and bromine while the ultimate “Holy Grail” of stable pentacoordinate carbon remained elusive. Although most of these studies were driven by J. C.’s fascination with unusual bonding schemes, they were not without practical value. Two hypervalent compounds, Martin’s sulfurane (for dehydration, page 365) and the Dess-Martin periodinane have found widespread application in synthetic organic chemistry. J. C. Martin and his student Daniel Dess developed this methodology at the University of Illinois at Urbana. (Martin’s biography is kindly supplied by Prof. Scott E. Denmark). Dess, D. B.; Martin, J. C. J.

Diels, O.; Alder, K. Justus Liebigs Ann. Chem. 1928, 460, 98. Otto Diels (Germany, 18761954) and his student, Kurt Alder (Germany, 19021958), shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1950 for development of the diene synthesis. In this article they claimed their territory in applying the Diels–Alder reaction in total synthesis: “We explicitly reserve for ourselves the application of the reaction developed by us to the solution of such problems.” Wender, P.

Ferrier carbocyclization This process (also known as the “Ferrier II Reaction”) has proved to be of considerable value for the efficient, one-step conversion of 5,6-unsaturated hexopyranose derivatives into functionalized cyclohexanones useful for the preparation of such enantiomerically pure compounds as inositols and their amino, deoxy, unsaturated and selectively O-substituted derivatives, notably phosphate esters. In addition, the products of the carbocyclization have been incorporated into many complex compounds of interest in biological and medicinal chemistry.1,2 While attempting to find a route from carbohydrates to functionalized cyclopentanes (and hence prostaglandins), Robin Ferrier converted alkene 1 to the standard product of methoxymercuration, but was unable to proceed to cyclopentanes by causing C-6 of the C-6-mercurated product to displace the tosyloxy group from C-2. However, hydroxymercuration of 1 with mercury(II) chloride in refluxing aqueous acetone afforded the unstable hemiacetal 2 from which aldehydoketone 3 and hence the hydroxyketone 4 were formed spontaneously, the latter crystallizing in 83% yield on cooling of the solution.3 The high yield can be increased to 89% by addition of a trace of acetic acid,4 and even higher yields have been reported in similar examples. Catalytic amounts of mercury(II) trifluoroacetate5 and sulfate6 can promote the reaction, and chelation control has been held responsible for the high stereoselectivity usually observed, the favored epimers having the trans-relationship between the hydroxyl groups at the new chiral centers and the substituents at C-3.1,2 General examples: HgCl

Ferrier glycal allylic rearrangement In the presence of Lewis acid catalysts O-substituted glycal derivatives can react with O-, S-, C- and, less frequently, N-, P- and halide nucleophiles to give 2,3unsaturated glycosyl products.1,2 This allylic transformation has been termed the “Ferrier Reaction” or, to avoid complications, the “Ferrier I Reaction” or the “Ferrier Rearrangement”. However, the reaction was first noted by Emil Fischer when he heated tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal in water.3 When carbon nucleophiles are involved, the term “Carbon Ferrier Reaction” has been used,4 although the only contribution the Ferrier group made in this area was to find that tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal dimerizes under acid catalysis to give a C-glycosidic product.5 The general reaction is illustrated by the separate conversions of tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal with O-, S- and Cnucleophiles to the corresponding 2,3-unsaturated glycosyl derivatives. Normally, Lewis acids are used as catalysts, boron trifluoride etherate being the most common. Allyloxycarbenium ions are involved as intermediates, high yields of products are obtained, and glycosidic compounds with quasi-axial bonds (as illustrated) predominate (commonly in the Į,ȕ-ratio of about 7:1). The examples illustrated4,6,7 are typical of a very large number of literature reports.1

It was almost 50 years after Fischer’s seminal finding that water took part in the reaction3 that Ann Ryan, working in George Overend’s Department in Birkbeck College, University of London, found, by chance, that p-nitrophenol likewise participates.16 Robin Ferrier, her immediate supervisor, who suggested her experiment, then found that simple alcohols at high temperatures also take part,17 and with other students, notably Nagendra Prasad and George Sankey, he explored the reaction extensively. They did not apply it to make the very important C-glycosides. Ferrier, R. J. Top. Curr. Chem. 2001, 215, 175. (Review). Fischer, E. Chem. Ber. 1914, 47, 196.

References Fischer, E.; Jourdan, F. Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1883, 16, 2241. H. Emil Fischer (18521919) is arguably the greatest organic chemist ever. He was born in Euskirchen, near Bonn, Germany. When he was a boy, his father, Lorenz, said about him: “The boy is too stupid to go in to business; so in God’s name, let him study.” Fischer studied at Bonn and then Strassburg under Adolf von Baeyer. Fischer won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1902 (three years ahead of his master, von Baeyer) for his synthetic studies in the area of sugar and purine groups. 2. Fischer, E.; Hess, O. Ber. Dtsch.

Friedel, C.; Crafts, J. M. Compt. Rend. 1877, 84, 1392. Charles Friedel (18321899) was born in Strasbourg, France. He earned his Ph.D. in 1869 under Wurtz at Sorbonne and became a professor and later chair (1884) of organic chemistry at Sorbonne. Friedel was one of the founders of the French Chemical Society and served as its president for four terms. James Mason Crafts (18391917) was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He studied under Bunsen and Wurtz in his youth and became a professor at Cornell and MIT. From 1874 to 1891, Crafts collaborated with Friedel at École de Mines in Paris, where they discovered the Friedel–Crafts reaction. He returned to MIT

in 1892 and later served as its president. The discovery of the Friedel–Crafts reaction was the fruit of serendipity and keen observation. In 1877, both Friedel and Crafts were working in Charles A. Wurtz’s laboratory. In order to prepare amyl iodide, they treated amyl chloride with aluminum and iodide using benzene as the solvent. Instead of amyl iodide, they ended up with amylbenzene! Unlike others before them who may have simply discarded the reaction, they thoroughly investigated the Lewis acidcatalyzed alkylations and acylations and published more than 50 papers and patents on the Friedel–Crafts reaction, which has become one of the most useful organic reactions.

This reaction is known as the Hoch–Campbell aziridine synthesis, which entails treatment of ketoximes with excess Grignard reagents and subsequent hydrolysis of the organometallic complex to produce aziridines. References Grignard, V. C. R. Acad. Sci. 1900, 130, 1322. Victor Grignard (France, 18711935) won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912 for his discovery of the Grignard reagent. 2. Ashby, E.

Hell, C. Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1881, 14, 891. Carl M. von Hell (18491926) was born in Stuttgart, Germany. He studied under Fehling and Erlenmeyer. After serving in the war of 1870, he became very ill. Hell became a professor at Stuttgart in 1883 where he discovered the Hell–Volhard–Zelinsky reaction. Volhard, J. Justus Liebigs Ann. Chem. 1887, 242, 141. Jacob Volhard (18491909) was born in Darmstadt, Germany. He apprenticed under Liebig, Will, Bunsen, Hofmann, Kolbe, and von Baeyer. He improved Hell’s original procedure in preparing Dbromo-acid during his research in thiophenes. Zelinsky, N. A. Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1887, 20, 2026. Nikolai D. Zelinsky (18611953) was born in Tyaspol, Russia. He studied at Göttingen under Victor Meyer, receiving his Ph.D. in 1889. Zelinsky returned to Russia and became a professor at the University of Moscow. On his ninetieth birthday in 1951, he was awarded the Order of Lenin. Watson, H. B. Chem. Rev. 1930, 7, 173201.

Hiyama–Denmark cross-coupling reaction A synthetically important and mechanistically distinct cross-coupling process of organosilanols has been developed. Unlike the Hiyama cross-coupling reaction of polychloro- and fluorosilanes that requires activation by fluoride ion, the Denmark process involves the simple deprotonation of an organosilanol to initiate the coupling. This variant has obvious advantages of avoiding incompatibility with fluoride (silicon protective groups and large-scale reactors). Mechanistic study5

Borodin, A. Justus Liebigs Ann. Chem. 1861, 119, 121. Aleksandr Porfireviþ Borodin (18331887) was born in St Petersburg, the illegitimate son of a prince. He prepared methyl bromide from silver acetate in 1861, but another eighty years elapsed before

Heinz and Cläre Hunsdiecker converted Borodin's synthesis into a general method, the Hunsdiecker or HunsdieckerBorodin reaction. Borodin was also an accomplished composer and is now best known for his musical masterpiece, opera Prince Egor. He kept a piano outside his laboratory. 2. Hunsdiecker, H.; Hunsdiecker, C. Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1942, 75, 291. Cläre Hunsdiecker was the only woman to give a name reaction in this book. I hope there will be many more in future editions. Cläre Hunsdiecker was born in 1903 and educated in Cologne. She developed the bromination of silver carboxylate alongside her husband, Heinz. 3. Sheldon, R. A.; Kochi, J. K. Org.

Jones oxidation The Collins/Sarett oxidation (chromium trioxide-pyridine complex), and Corey´s PCC (pyridinium chlorochromate) and PDC (pyridinium dichromate) oxidations follow a similar pathway as the Jones oxidation. All these oxidants have a chromium (VI), normally yellow, which is reduced to Cr(IV), often green.

Knoevenagel, E. Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1898, 31, 2596. Emil Knoevenagel (18651921) was born in Hannover, Germany. He studied at Göttingen under Victor Meyer and Gattermann, receiving a Ph.D. in 1889. He became a full professor at Heidelberg in 1900. When WWI broke out in 1914, Knoevenagel was one of the first to enlist and rose to the rank of staff officer. After the war, he returned to his academic work until his sudden death during an appendectomy. Jones, G. Org. React. 1967, 15, 204. (Review). Van der Baan, J. L.; Bickelhaupt, F.

Knorr, L. Ber Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1883, 16, 2597. Ludwig Knorr (18591921) was born near Munich, Germany. After studying under Volhard, Emil Fischer, and Bunsen, he was appointed professor of chemistry at Jena. Knorr made tremendous contributions in the synthesis of heterocycles in addition to discovering the important pyrazolone drug, pyrine. Knorr, L. Ber Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1884, 17, 546, 2032. Knorr, L.

References Kolbe, H. Justus Liebigs Ann. Chem. 1860, 113, 1125. Hermann Kolbe (18181884) was born in Elliehausen, Germany. In 1860, at Marburg University, he developed a reaction to synthesize salicylic acid by simply treating phenol with carbon dioxide under high pressure at 180200 oC. Like Wöhler’s urea synthesis, Kolbe’s synthesis of acetic acid by treating trichloroacetic acid with potassium amalgam is considered one of the first total syntheses in organic chemistry. One of his students, Friedrich von Heyden, founded a company to profit from the Kolbe reaction with much financial success. 2. Schmitt, R. J. Prakt. Chem. 1885, 31, 397. 3.

The Kumada cross-coupling reaction, as well as the Negishi, Stille, Hiyama, and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions, belong to the same category of Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of organic halides, triflates and other electrophiles with organometallic reagents. These reactions follow a general mechanistic cycle as shown on the next page. There are slight variations for the Hiyama and Suzuki reactions, for which an additional activation step is required for the transmetalation to occur. The catalytic cycle:

The reaction using Sanger’s reagent is faster than using the corresponding chloro-, bromo-, and iodo-dinitrobenzene—the fluoro-Meisenheimer complex is the most stabilized because F is the most electron-withdrawing. The reaction rate does not depend upon the capacity of the leaving group. References 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

Meyers, A. I.; Knaus, G.; Kamata, K. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1974, 96, 268. While Albert I. Meyers was an assistant professor at Wayne State University, neighboring pharmaceutical firm Parke-Davis (Drs. George Moersch and Harry Crooks) donated several kilograms of (1S, 2S)-(+)-2-amino-1-phenyl-1,3-propanediol (Meyers referred to it as the Parke-Davis diol), from which his chemistry with chiral oxazolines began. Meyers is currently Professor Emeritus at Colorado State University. Meyers, A. I.; Knaus, G. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1974, 96, 6508. Meyers, A. I.; Knaus, G. Tetrahedron Lett. 1974, 1333. Meyers, A.

He studied under Robert Bunsen, August Hofmann, Adolphe Wurtz, and Dimitri Mendeleev, but never bothered to take a degree. Back to the United States, Michael became a Professor of Chemistry at Tufts University, where he married one of his most brilliant students, Helen Abbott, one of the few women organic chemists in this period. Since he failed miserably as an administrator, Michael and his wife set up their own private laboratory at Newton Center, Massachusetts, where the Michael addition was discovered. 2.

Montgomery coupling Oxidative nickel-catalyzed coupling of aldehydes and alkynes to generate allylic alcohols. Intermolecular and intramolecular examples are both effective, and the transmetalating agent (MR4) may be an organosilane, organoborane, organozinc, or alkenylzirconium.15

R1, R3 = alkyl or aryl R2, R4 = alkyl, aryl, or H The mechanism was proposed to involve the formation of a nickel metallacycle by the oxidative cyclization of Ni(0) with the aldehyde and alkyne, followed by conversion of the metallacycle to product by a transmetalation/reductive elimination sequence. If R4 possesses a E-hydrogen, then E-hydride elimination after the transmetalation step generates the product with R4 = H in some instances. The mechanism was shown to be ligand dependent, and the mechanism depicted below is undoubtedly oversimplified.4

References Nef, J. U. Justus Liebigs Ann. Chem. 1894, 280, 263. John Ulrich Nef (18621915) was born in Switzerland and emmigrated to the US at the age of four with his parents. He went to Munich, Germany to study with Adolf von Baeyer, earning a Ph.D. in 1886. Back to the States, he served as a professor at Purdue University, Clark University, and the University of Chicago. The Nef reaction was discovered at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. Nef was temperamental and impulsive, suffering from a couple of mental breakdowns. He was also highly individualistic, and had never published with a coworker save for three early articles. 2. Pinnick, H. W. Org. React. 1990, 38, 655 . (Review). 3. Hwu, J. R.; Gilbert, B. A. J. Am.

References Perkin, W. H. J. Chem. Soc. 1868, 21, 53. William Henry Perkin (18381907), born in London, England, studied under Hofmann at the Royal College of Chemistry. In an attempt to synthesize quinine in his home laboratory in 1856, Perkin synthesized mauve, the purple dye. He then started a factory to manufacture mauve and later other dyes including alizarin. Perkin was the first person to show that organic chemistry was not just mere intellectual curiosity but could be profitable, which catapulted the discipline into a higher level. In addition, Perkin was also an exceptionally talented pianist. 2. Pohjala, E. Heterocycles 1975, 3, 615. 3. Poonia, N. S.; Sen, S.; Porwal, P. K.; Jayakumar, A. Bull. Chem. Soc.

References Prins, H. J. Chem. Weekblad 1919, 16, 64, 1072. Hendrik J. Prins (18891958), born in Zaandam, The Netherlands, was not even an organic chemist per se. After obtaining a doctorate in chemical engineering, Prins worked for an essential oil company and then a company dealing with the rendering of condemned meats and carcasses. But he had a small laboratory near his house where he carried out his experiments in his spare time, which obviously was not a big distraction—for he rose to be the presidentdirector of the firm he worked for. 2.

Reimer, K.; Tiemann, F. Ber. Dtsch. Chem. Ges. 1876, 9, 824. Karl L. Reimer (18451883) was born in Leipzig, Germany. He interrupted his study to serve in the Bohemian War in 1866. After the war, Reimer returned to his study and obtained his Ph.D. in 1871. He held several jobs but at the end had to resign because of poor health. The discovery of the Reimer–Tiemann reaction was the beginning of his shortlived career in organic chemistry. Johann K. F. Tiemann (18481899) was born in Rübeland, Germany. He was a student and a big fan of W. Hofmann, from whom Tiemann received his Ph.D. in 1871. Tiemann then became a Professor of Chemistry at Berlin. Wynberg, H.; Meijer, E. W. Org.

References Rapson, W. S.; Robinson, R. J. Chem. Soc. 1935, 1285. Robert Robinson used the Robinson annulaton in his total synthesis of cholesterol. Here is a story told by Derek Barton about Robinson and Woodward: “By pure chance, the two great men met early in a Monday morning on an Oxford train station platform in 1951. Robinson politely asked Woodward what kind of research he was doing these days; Woodward replied that he thought that Robinson would be interested in his recent total synthesis of cholesterol. Robinson, incensed and shouting ‘Why do you always steal my research topic?’, hit Woodward with his umbrella.”—An excerpt from Barton, Derek, H. R.

Shapiro reaction The Shapiro reaction is a variant of the BamfordStevens reaction. The former uses bases such as alkyl lithium and Grignard reagents whereas the latter employs bases such as Na, NaOMe, LiH, NaH, NaNH2, etc. Consequently, the Shapiro reaction generally affords the less-substituted olefins as the kinetic products, while the BamfordStevens reaction delivers the more-substituted olefins as the thermodynamic products.

Simmons, H. E.; Smith, R. D. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1958, 80, 5323. Howard E. Simmons (19291997) was born in Norfolk, Virginia. He carried out his graduate studies at MIT under John D. Roberts and Arthur Cope. After obtaining his Ph.D. in 1954, he joined the Chemical Department of the Dupont Company, where he discovered the Simmons–Smith reaction with his colleague, R. D. Smith. Simmons rose to be the vice president of the Central Research at Dupont in 1979. His views on physical exercise were the same as those of Alexander Woollcot’s: “If I think about exercise, I know if I wait long enough, the thought will go away.” Limasset, J.-C.; Amice, P.; Conia, J.-M.

Doebner–von Miller reaction Doebner–von Miller reaction is a variant of the Skraup quinoline synthesis (page 545). Therefore, the mechanism for the Skraup reaction is also operative for the Doebner–von Miller reaction. An alternative mechanism shown below is based on the fact that the preformed imine (Schiff base) also gives 2-methylquinoline:

Petasis alkenylation The Petasis reagent (Me2TiCp2, dimethyltitanocene) undergoes similar olefination reactions with ketones and aldehydes. The originally proposed mechanism5 was very different from that of Tebbe olefination. However, later experimental data seem to suggest that both Petasis and Tebbe olefination share the same mechanism, i.e., the carbene mechanism involving a four-membered titanium oxide ring intermediate.9
