Di-tert-butyl 2,2'-[9H-fluorene-9,9-diylbis(p-phenyl-ene-oxy)]diacetate
Abstract:
In the title mol-ecule, C(37)H(38)O(6), the non-fused C atom belonging to the five-membered ring of the fluorene system is connected to two p-phenyl-ene rings, the rings opening up the C(ar-yl)-C-C(ar-yl) angle to 113.1 (1)°. The four-atom -O-CH(2)-C(=O)-O- chain between the p-phenyl-ene ring and the tert-butyl group assumes a more regular W-shaped conformation for one substituent [O-C-C-C torsion angle = 171.9 (2)°] but a less regular W-shaped conformation for the other [torsion angle = 147.4 (2)°].

Olefin Metathesis Polymerization: Acyclic Diene Metathesis (ADMET)
Similar to cross-metathesis, ADMET also involves the formation of metallacyclobutane intermediate by [2+2] cycloaddition of one of the double bonds of a terminal diene with...
Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
