Tandem response

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tandem reaction using the example of a "zipper reaction".

Tandem reaction (also domino or cascade reaction , English zipper reaction ) is a generic term for an intramolecular reaction sequence of often highly reactive, acyclic precursors to complex, polynuclear molecules . This means overall reactions that actually consist of several independent reaction stages (not mechanistic steps) that take place spontaneously in immediate succession. They could also be carried out one at a time in order to arrive at the same product.

The educt of a tandem reaction usually contains several functional groups, all of which are converted into complex target molecules almost simultaneously in a sequence of chemical reactions.

The advantage of the tandem reaction lies in the speed of the reaction , which is often high due to its intramolecular nature. The selectivity is also high, since intermediate stages rarely have to be isolated, hardly any by-products are produced and physical separation steps can be minimized.

The active reaction centers in tandem reactions are diverse, e.g. B. active double or triple bond centers or epoxides.

A variety of reaction types can be used, such as Diels-Alder reactions , ring opening reactions, Heck reactions . or Pauson-Khand reactions .

A wide range of target molecules can be produced via tandem reactions, e.g. B. Polyether ladder polymers via oxirane tandem reactions, terpenoids, indoalkaloids and many other natural products .
