Molecular REARRANGEMENTS
Key words: rearrangement reactions, migration to electron deficient nitrogen, electron deficient oxygen, electron deficient carbon. Migratory aptitude, cross- over experiments Rearrangment reactions are an interesting class of reactions wherein a group or an atom migration during the course of the reaction. While most of the rearrangements are designed in that fashion, it can also be undesirable in some cases. Depending on the reaction conditions, the nature of rearrangement (and the product) could also change. In this module, various rearrangement reactions are presented. These are classified with respect the the migration origin and migration terminus. Emphasis has been placed on examples involving skeletal rearrangements that are practically used in day-to-day organic synthesis. Rearrangement reactions involve the migration of a group or an atom from one center (migration origin) to another (migration terminus) within the same molecule. W W A B A B In the above-mentioned generalized representation, atom-A is migration origin from where the migrating group “W” moves to atom-B (migration terminus) These rearrangements can be roughly classified on the basis of the nature of the migrating group/atom, i.Nucleophilic or Anionotropic: migrating group migrates with its electron pair. ii.Electrophilic or cationotropic: migrating group migrates without its electron pair. iii.Free radical: migrating group migrates with only one electron. Of these most commonly found are nucleophilic one. These rearrangements can take place in two possible modes, i.Intramolecular : In these migrating group do not completely detach from the migration origin and occurs within the same molecule. W A B A B W ii. Intermolecular : In these migrating group is detached from the migration origin. -
1 Rearrangement Reactions
1 1 Rearrangement Reactions A rearrangement reaction is a board class of organic reactions in which an atom, ion, group of atoms, or chemical unit migrates from one atom to another atom in the same or different species, resulting in a structural isomer of the origi- nal molecule. Rearrangement reactions mostly involve breaking and/or making C—C, C—O, or C—N bonds. The migration origin is the atom from which the group moves, and the migration terminus is the atom to which it migrates. Baeyer–Villiger Oxidation or Rearrangement The Baeyer–Villiger oxidation is an organic reaction that converts a ketone to an ester or a cyclic ketone to a lactone in the presence of hydrogen peroxide or peroxy acids [1]. The reaction was discovered in 1899 by Adolf von Baeyer and Victor Villiger. It is an intramolecular anionotropic rearrangement where an alkyl group migrates from the carbonyl carbon atom (migration origin) to an electron-deficient oxygen atom (migration terminus). The most electron-rich alkyl group (most substituted carbon) that is able to stabilize a positive charge migrates most readily. The migration order is as follows: > > > > > > Tertiar y alkyl cyclohexyl secondary alkyl phenyl primary alkyl CH3 H. Several new catalysts including organics, inorganics, and enzymes have been developed for this reaction [2–76]. Amine or alkene functional groups are limi- tations, however, because of their easy and undesirable oxidation.

Molecular Rearrangements
Molecular Rearrangements Organic Chemistry (SEM lV) Prepared by Dr. Kalipada Bankura Department of Chemistry Tamralipta Mahavidyalaya Molecular Rearrangements • Rearrangment reactions are an interesting class of reactions wherein a group or an atom migrates during the course of the reaction. While most of the rearrangements are designed in that fashion, it can also be undesirable in some cases. Depending on the reaction conditions, the nature of rearrangement (and the product) could also change. Migrating Migrating Migrating • Rearrangement reactions involve Group Origin Terminus the migration of a group or an atom from one center (migration origin) to another (migration A B B C terminus) within the same C A molecule. Rearranged product Crossover Experiments The purpose of crossover experiment is to determine whether the given reaction takes place intermolecularly or intramolecularly i.e. whether reactant break apart to form intermediates, which diffuse away into solution before they combine to give product. In this experiment two substrate differing in substituent are mixed together and are reacted under the same reaction condition and the product obtained is analyzed. Illustration for cross-over experiments: Consider, a simple reaction in which A-B reacts to give C-D. There are two possible of outcomes for the above reaction, as A, A* are differently substituted (so are B and B*). One in which no crossover of substituent is seen. This is possible if reaction is intramolecular. The other possibility is that a mixture of products are obtained in the crossover reaction. This is possible in the case of intermolecular reaction. Rearrangement reactions can be roughly classified on the basis of the migration origin and migration terminus. -
Rearrangement to Electron-Deficient Nitrogen
Dr. Nabamita Basu Dept. of Chemistry, Nabagram Hiralal Paul College Rearrangement to electron-deficient nitrogen: Hofmann Rearrangement The conversion of a carboxamide to a primary amine with a C atom less by the action of alkali and halogen (chlorine or bromine) or hypohalites (NaOCl or NaOBr) is known as the Hoffmann degradation of amide. This involves a rearrangement reaction of an N-haloamide into an isocyanate which hydrolyses rapidly, under the conditions of the reaction, into a primary amine. Because of the intermediate rearrangement, the reaction is also termed as Hofmann haloamide rearrangement. Mechanism: Mechanistic interpretation and support of the mechanism: 1. The intermediate N-bromoamide has been isolated in benzene solvent and the intermediate isocyanate has been isolated in polar aprotic solvent like CHCl3. 2. Trapping of intermediate isocyanate: If the reaction is carried out in alcohol, urethane is obtained and in some cases urea derivative is also obtained. The isocyantae may also be trapped as hydantoin when it is reacted with an α-amino acid (e.g., glycine). Dr. Nabamita Basu Dept. of Chemistry, Nabagram Hiralal Paul College 3. Carbonyl carbon of amide if labelled with C14 then it is found that labelled C14 14 eliminates as CO2 in H2O. 4. Rate determining step (RDS): (a) In the Hoffmann rearrangement N-bromoamide rearranges to isocyanate in one step with a loss of bromide ion with alkyl or aryl migration. This is a slow step and proceeds through the SN2 like path. In aryl amides i.e., when the migrating group is aryl then the rate of Hofmann rearrangement gets increased by the presence of electron releasing substituents in the para position of aromatic ring. -
Curtius Rearrangement
Curtius rearrangement The Curtius rearrangement (or Curtius reaction or Curtius degradation), first defined by Theodor Curtius rearrangement Curtius in 1885, is the thermal decomposition of an acyl azide to an isocyanate with loss of nitrogen Named after Theodor Curtius gas.[1][2] The isocyanate then undergoes attack by a variety of nucleophiles such as water, alcohols and amines, to yield a primary amine, carbamate or urea derivative respectively.[3] Several reviews have Reaction type Rearrangement been published.[4][5] reaction Identifiers Organic curtius- Chemistry rearrangement Portal RSC ontology RXNO:0000054 ID Contents Preparation of acyl azide Reaction mechanism Modifications Photochemical rearrangement Variations Darapsky degradation Harger reaction Synthetic applications Triquinacene Oseltamivir Dievodiamine See also References External links Preparation of acyl azide The acyl azide is usually made from the reaction of acid chlorides or anydrides[6] with sodium azide or trimethylsilyl azide.[7] Acyl azides are also obtained from treating acylhydrazines with nitrous acid.[8] Alternatively, the acyl azide can be formed by the direct reaction of a carboxylic acid with diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA).[9] Diphenylphosphoryl azide Reaction mechanism It was believed that the Curtius rearrangement was a two-step processes, with the loss of nitrogen gas forming an acyl nitrene, followed by migration of the R-group to give the isocyanate. However, recent research has indicated that the thermal decomposition is a concerted process, with both steps happening together, due to the absence of any nitrene insertion or addition byproducts observed or isolated in the reaction.[10] Thermodynamic calculations also support a concerted mechanism.[11] Mechanism of the Curtius rearrangement The migration occurs with full retention of configuration at the R-group.
