Abstract:
Trends in solid-state structures were used to identify preferred intramolecular movements in half-sandwich compounds [CpFe(CO){C(=O)R}PPh3]. Three weak interactions were analyzed: 1) the CH/π donor-acceptor interaction of phenyl rings in the PPh3 ligand, 2) the PhPPh3 face-on Cp stabilization, and 3) the hydrogen bond between the oxygen atom of the acyl group and an ortho-C-H bond of one of the PPh3 phenyl rings. Clockwise and counter-clockwise rotations established directed and coupled movements of the PPh3 ligand, the acyl group, and the phenyl rings within the PPh3 ligand.

Conformations of Cyclohexane
The chair form is the most stable and derives its name from its resemblance to the “easy chair.” In the chair conformation, two carbon atoms are arranged out-of-plane — one above and one below, minimizing the torsional strain. In the chair form, the bond angle is very close to the ideal tetrahedral value,...
Thermal Electrocyclic Reactions: Stereochemistry
Selection Rules: Thermal Activation
Conjugated systems containing an even number of π-electron pairs undergo a conrotatory ring closure. For example, thermal electrocyclization of (2E,4E)-2,4-hexadiene, a conjugated diene containing two π-electron pairs, gives trans-3,4-dimethylcyclobutene.
Thermal Sigmatropic Reactions: Overview
Sigmatropic shifts are classified based on an order term [i, j ], where i and j indicate the number of atoms across which each end of the σ bond migrates. Below are examples of a [3,3] sigmatropic shift in 1,5-hexadiene, referred to as...
