General description

The interaction of allyl iodide with MoO3, Bi2O3 and molybdates of Bi, Co and Mg has been studied in the temperature range of 270-480°C.

Application

Allyl iodide has been employed as:
  • precursor for generation of allyl radicals to study their recombination in a single pulse shock tube with gas chromatographic measurements
  • reagent used with allylindium sesquiiodide in the cis-double allylation of cyclopropenes

Unexpectedly, the 5-dehydroquinoline radical cation was formed in the gas phase from the 5-iodo-8-nitroquinolinium cation upon ion-trap collision-activated dissociation. This reaction involves the cleavage of a nitro group to generate an intermediate monoradical, namely, the 8-dehydro-5-iodoquinolinium cation, followed by rearrangement

The successive double allylation of cyclopropenes with allylindium sesquiiodide and allyl iodide proceeded with a cis-addition mode in the presence of other organometallics (e.g. Grignard reagent, cuprate, Et(2)Zn and Et(3)Al), giving the corresponding cis-diallylcyclopropanes in high yields.

Radical migration, both intramolecular and intermolecular, from the tyrosine phenoxyl radical Tyr(O(∙)) to the cysteine radical Cys(S(∙)) in model peptide systems was observed in the gas phase. Ion-molecule reactions (IMRs) between the radical cation of homotyrosine and propyl thiol resulted
