These compounds are created in a modification of the pinacol coupling named for McMurry.
These compounds are created in a modification of the pinacol coupling named for McMurry. Potassium peroxymonosulfate and a ketone catalyst react with these compounds to create a dioxirane intermediate in a reaction named for Yian Shi. Treatment of tosylhydrazones with strong bases produces these compounds. Osmium tetroxide catalyzes the dihydroxylation of compounds with this functional group in the Upjohn and Sharpless methods of diol synthesis. In addition to the Shapiro and Bamford-Stevens reactions, methods of producing them include using Grubbs' catalyst to assist with their namesake metathesis. For 10 points, name these unsaturated hydrocarbons, the simplest of which is ethylene, which have at least one double bond.
