TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a combustion mechanism based on the present kinetic data for the elementary reactions involved, which explains the currently available experimental results for laminar premixed flames of alkanes, alkenes, and acetylene.
Abstract: The detailed knowledge of combustion mechanisms is important for example for the control of (kinetically determined) pollutant formation (e.g., NO, hydrocarbons, soot), or for the extrapolation to technologically important but experimentally inaccessible conditions. By suitable separation and elimination of unimportant reactions, a mechanism is developed with the aid of the present kinetic data for the elementary reactions involved. This mechanism explains, without fitting, the currently available experimental results for laminar premixed flames of alkanes, alkenes, and acetylene (flame velocity and structure of free flames, concentration and temperature profiles in burner-stabilized flames). These experimental results are simulated by the solution of the corresponding conservation equations with suitable models describing diffusion and heat conduction in the multicomponent mixture considered. In lean and moderately rich flames the hydrocarbon is attacked by O, H, and OH, in the first step. These radicals are produced by the chain-branching steps of the oxyhydrogen reaction. The alkyl radicals formed in this way always decompose to smaller alkyl radicals by fast thermal elimination of alkenes. Only the relatively slow thermal decomposition of the smallest alkyl radicals (CH 3 and C 2 H 5 ) competes with recombination and with oxidation reactions by O atoms and O 2 . This part of the mechanism is rate-controlling in the combustion of alkanes and alkenes, and is therefore the reason for the similarity of all alkane and alkene flames.
TL;DR: In this article, second-order rate constants for ozone reactions with ethene, propene, but-1-ene, trans-but-2-ene and isobutene were obtained.
Abstract: By measuring the rates of decay of ozone in a large excess of reactant, second-order rate constants have been obtained for the reactions of ozone with ethene, propene, but-1-ene, trans-but-2-ene, isobutene, hex-1-ene, cyclopentene, cyclohexene, isoprene, vinyl fluoride, 1,1-difluoroethene, cis-1,2-difluoroethene, trans-1,2-difluoroethene, trifluoroethene, tetrafluoroethene, and 2,5dihydrofuran. The reactions have been studied in synthetic air at atmospheric pressure and at temperatures of 294 and 260 K. The rate constants and Arrhenius parameters are discussed in relation to existing kinetic data on ozone–alkene reactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, an ion-beam apparatus was employed to study the reactions of singly charged cobalt positive ions with 12 alkenes, and two processes were observed for larger olefins.
Abstract: An ion-beam apparatus is employed to study the reactions of singly charged cobalt positive ions with 12 alkenes. While ethene and propene undergo no exothermic reactions, two processes are observed for larger olefins. One reaction yields cobalt ion alkadiene complexes and either methane or H/sub 2/. The second process involves cleavage of the alkene into two smaller olefins, one of which remains bound to Co/sup +/. A mechanism involving oxidative addition of an allylic C-C or C-H bond to the metal as the initial step is proposed to account for all observed products. Subsequent formation of a cobaltacyclobutane species is postulated for several of the cleavage reactions.
TL;DR: In this paper, the silyl group was placed to control the carbonium ion rearrangement in a preparatively useful way, and the starting γ-silyl alcohols were prepared by a variety of versatile methods.
Abstract: γ-Silyl tertiary alcohols rearrange in protic acid with 1,2-shift of hydride, phenyl, or alkyl groups, and loss of the silyl group to give alkenes. The placing of the silyl group thus controls the carbonium ion rearrangement in a preparatively useful way. Methoxycarbonyl groups do not migrate; instead, cyclopropanes are formed, except when the conformation suitable for cyclopropane formation is unattainable. When the alkene product is 2,2-disubstituted, it can be reprotonated under the reaction conditions and does not therefore always survive. This can be avoided by carrying out the reaction using a Lewis acid on the silyl ether. The starting γ-silyl alcohols are prepared by a variety of versatile methods.

Abstract: The reactions of ten C6-alkenes over a Cu2+-montmorillonite catalyst have been examined between room temperature and 100°C. The reaction products depend upon inter alia the branching in the alkene, the position of the double bond, and the temperature. Hex-2-ene, cis and trans-4-methyl-pent-2-ene and 4-methyl-pent-1-ene do not react at all, whereas 2-methyl-pent-1-ene and 2-methyl-pent-2-ene and 3,3-dimethyl-but-1-ene form alcohols below ∼40°C and dimers at higher temperatures. Hex-1-ene forms the di-2,2′-hexyl ether.

TL;DR: In this article, the bridgehead-substituted bicyclo[n.2.2] alkenes (1b-3b) were synthesized based on the oxidative decarboxylation of precarboxylic acids with lead tetraacetate, and the results indicated that the homoallylic participation of the strained bridgehead double bond to the carbonium ion center located at the opposite bridgehead position operates in the solvolysis of 1d and 2d.
Abstract: The bridgehead-substituted bicyclo[n.2.2] bridgehead alkenes (1b–3b) (1, n=4; 2, n=5; 3, n=6; b, R=OAc) were synthesized based on the oxidative decarboxylation of [n.2.2]propellanecarboxylic acids with lead tetraacetate. The parent alkene (1a–3a) (a, R=H) and other bridgehead-substituted derivatives (1c–3c and 1d–3d) (c, R=OH; d, R=Cl) were prepared from 1b–3b. The examination of the 13C NMR chemical shifts of 1a–c, 2a–c, and 3a–c indicates the presence of electronic interaction between the bridgehead double bond (Cγ) and the opposite bridgehead carbon (Cα), being the homoallylic position of the double bond. From the product study and the kinetic results of the solvolysis of the bridgehead chlorides 1d–3d, it is indicated that the homoallylic participation of the strained bridgehead double bond to the carbonium ion center located at the opposite bridgehead position operates in the solvolysis of 1d and 2d. It may be, therefore, concluded that highly strained bridgehead alkenes, especially, bicyclo[4.2.2]de...
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that styrene reacts with complexes [IrH2S2L2]BF4 to give [Ir(η6-PhEt)L 2 ]BF4(S = H2O or Me2CO; L = PPh3): this accounts for the failure of styrene to act as a hydrogen acceptor in related alkane activation system, and may account for the anomalously low hydrogenation rates observed for styrene using PF6 as catalyst precursor.

Abstract: The acid-catalysed reactions of two phenylethylcyclohexanols, precursors to tricyclic diterpenoids, are reported. The reaction produced both a bicyclic alkene and a tricyclic molecule; the former was converted into the latter in protic media. Conditions for the formation of the naturally occurring trans A–B ring stereochemistry were defined and the mechanism was explored by the use of a deuterium label. Polyphosphoric acid-catalysed cyclisation produced a more complex mixture.

TL;DR: In this paper, a double-bonded 1-(Alkylthio)cyclopropyl azide was shown to interact not only with the three-membered ring but also with the double bond, leading to spirocyclic products.
Abstract: 1-(Alkylthio)cyclopropyl azides - readily accessible from the corresponding chlorides and bromides - are smoothly decomposed at 70°C with nitrogen evolution. The main process is a ring enlargement to 2-(alkylthio)azetines 2, accompanied by cleavage to thiocyanate and alkene. Reaction parameters for the thioazetine formation suggest a two-step mechanism involving an intermediate cyclopropylnitrene. Ring enlargement can be averted if the alkylthio group contains a double bond. Thus, the allylthiocyclopropyl azide 8 gives a nitrene that can interact not only with the three-membered ring but also with the double bond, leading to spirocyclic products (15 and 16 in Scheme 1). The photolysis (300 nm) of these azides gives exclusively the fragmentation products thiocyanate and olefin.
