Allylations of N-benzyl and N-methyl cyclic imides were accomplished successfully under mild Barbier type conditions using zinc metal, allyl bromide and catalytic amount of $PbBr_2$. Subsequent coupling reactions with some carbon nucleophiles afforded 1,2- and 1,4-addition products in moderate to high yields.

The interaction of tetraphenylphthalic anhydride with o-chlorotoluene under Friedel-Craft condition gives 2-(4-chloro-3-methyl)benzoyl-3,4,5,6-tetraphenyl benzoic acid(1), which on reaction with hydrazine derivatives gave phthalazinones (2a-d). The behaviour of (2a) towards carbon electrophiles and carbon nucleophiles has been investigated. The chlorophthalazinones (4a) also has been synthesized from the action of $PCl_5/POCl_3$ on (2a). The behaviour of (4a) towards nitrogen, and oxygen nucleophiles also have been described.

Kinetic studies are carried out on the reaction of S-phenyl dithiobenzoates with benzylamines in acetonitrile at 30.0 ℃. Small magnitude of ρX (βX) as well as ρZ (βZ) obtained suggests rate-limiting nucleophilic attack of the thiocarbonyl carbon. This is supported by the unusually small magnitude of ρXY and ρYZ, albeit their signs do not agree with those expected. Moreover, the inverse secondary kinetic isotope effects (kH/kD<1.0) involving deuterated benzylamine nucleophiles are also in line with the proposed mechanism.

Carbon-11 is one of the most sensitive and desirable positron emission tomography radio-isotope, which offers the capacity to be incorporated, through a covalent bond, into biologically active molecules without altering their biological properties. Carbon-11 can be obtained from the cyclotron with two different chemical forms: $[^{11}C]CO_2$ and $[^{11}C]CH_4$. [$^{11}C$]Methyl iodide has been widely used as a highly reactive labelling precursor that can be applied to label carbon-11 with biologically active molecules via alkylation of N-, O-, or S-nucleophiles. A more recent and still challenging labeling method is transition metal mediated $^{11}C$-carbonylation. Advances in organic chemistry, radiochemistry and improved automated techniques greatly encourage researchers to develop more carbon-11 labelled radiotracers for molecular imaging studies. This mini-review will introduce a historical track of carbon-11 chemistry combining with examples and its role in near future.

Rate constants for the reaction of methyl chloroformate with substituted anilines, and for the halogen exchanges in phenyl chloroformate have been determined in acetone. Although the rate data can be interpreted equally well with the addition-elimination mechanism($S_AN$) involving an intermediate, results of MO and isotope effect studies strongly favor the synchronous ($S_N2$) mechanism for the reactions studied. It was concluded that for the fast reacting nucleophiles the transition state is of "late" type while for the slow reacting nucleophiles it is of "early" type.

Magnesium reduction of Mo(N-C6H3-2,6-i-Pr2)2Cl2(DME) in the presence of trimethylphosphine led to a mixture of Mo(N-C6H3-2,6-i-Pr2)(PMe3)2Cl3, 1, and Mo2(PMe3)4Cl4, 2. In solution 1 is slowly air-oxidized to Mo(N-2,6-i-Pr2-C6H3)(OPMe3)(PMe3)Cl3, 3. 1 is chemically inert to carbon nucleophiles (ZnMe2, ZnEt2, AlMe3, AlEt3, LiCp, NaCp, TlCp, NaCp*, MeMgBr, EtMgBr), oxygen nucleophiles (LiOEt, LiO-i-Pr, LiOPh, LiOSPh), and hydrides (LiBEt3H, LiBEt3D).

Kinetic studies on the reactions of five secondary acylic alkyl arenesulfonates with anilines are carried out in acetonitrile at 65.0 ℃. The magnitude of ρXZ determined (ρXZ=0.12-0.13) is slightly greater than that for the alicyclic series (ρXZ=0.11) under the same experimental condition. Ab initio MO results are found to support the slightly tighter transition state expected from the greater magnitude of ρXZ for the acyclic series. Despite the small variations, the magnitude of ρXZ and the theoretical transition state tightness remain relatively constant for the secondary carbon centers. Secondary kinetic isotope effects involving deuterated aniline nucleophiles show a successively smaller kH/kD(<1.0) value for a more sterically crowded reaction center carbon. This is in accord with the later transition state for bond-making predicted by the Bell-Evans-Polanyi principle for the more endothermic nucleophilic substitution reaction. Further support is provided by the results of the AM1 MO calculations on the reactions of secondary alkyl benzenesulfonates with chloride nucleophile.

Nucleophilic substitution reactions of 2-thiopheneethyl benzenesulfonates (2-TEB) and 3-thiopheneethyl benzenesulfonates (3-TEB) with anilines and N,N-dimethylanilines (DMA) are investigated in acetonitrile at 60.0 ℃. The cross-interaction constants ρxz determined for the reactions with anilines are large negative (- 0.50) which are comparable to those for the similar predominantly frontside-attack SN2 reactions of 1-phenylethyl (1-PEB), 2-phenylethyl (2-PEB) and cumyl benzenesulfonates. A large negative ρxz value (- 0.4∼- 0.8) is considered to provide a mechanistic criterion for the frontside-attack SN2 mechanism with a four-center transition state. In agreement with this proposal the kinetic isotope effects, kH/kD, involving deuterated aniline nucleophiles are all greater than one reflecting partial N-H(D) bond cleavage in the transition state. The MO theoretical reactant structures of 1-PEB, 2-PEB and 2-TEB based on the PM3 calculation show that the benzene ring blocks the backside nucleophile approach to the reaction center carbon (Cα) enforcing the frontside-attack SN2 mechanism.

The treatment of 1,1-bis(phenylthio)-2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropylbenzene (1) with 2 equiv. of phenyllithium in THF at -78 ℃ resulted in the formation of isomeric mixture (70: 30) of trifluoromethylated 1,2-diphenylvinyl sulfide 2 in 87% yield. The further oxidation of 2 with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in methylene chloride afforded isomeric mixture (70:30) of trifluoromethylated 1,2-diphenylvinyl sulfone 3 in 87% yield. When 3 was reacted with carbon nucleophiles such as methyllithium, n-butyllithium, phenyllithium and lithium octylide, the corresponding addition-elimination adducts 4, 5, 6 and 7 were obtained in moderate to good yields. The reaction of 3 with 4 equiv. of tributyltin hydride in benzene at reflux temperature provided isomeric mixture (90 : 10) of trifluoromethylated 1,2-diphenylvinyl stannane 8 in 41% yield. The reaction of 8 with methyllithium in the presence of trimethylsilyl chloride gave isomeric mixtures (90: 10) of trifluoromethylated 1,2-diphenylvinyl silane 9 in 88% yield. Finally, the treatment of 8 with Br2 and 12 resulted in the formation of isomeric mixtures (90: 10) of trifluoromethylated 1,2-diphenylvinyl bromide 10 and iodide 11 in 72% and 90% yields, respectively.

The secondary deuterium kinetic isotope effects (SDKIE) involving deuterated aniline nucleophiles are reported for the reactions of benzyl bromides and chlorides and benzoyl chlorides in acetonitrile. The benzyl systems behave normally as to the trend of changes in SDKIE with the magnitude of ${\rho}X({\rho}_{nuc})$, whereas benzoyl system shows ananomaly; ${\mid}{\rho}_X{\mid}$ decreases with increase in the extent of bond making estimated by the SDKIE. This has been ascribed to the negative charge accumulation at the reaction center carbon in the transition state. The magnitude of ${\rho}_{XY}$ is found to decrease by ca. 0.03 with ten degree rise in the reaction temperature.
