  • Chem 353: Grignard
    GRIG.1 ORGANIC SYNTHESIS: BENZOIC ACID VIA A GRIGNARD REACTION TECHNIQUES REQUIRED : Reflux with addition apparatus, rotary evaporation OTHER DOCUMENTS Experimental procedure, product spectra INTRODUCTION In this experiment you will synthesise benzoic acid using bromobenzene to prepare a Grignard reagent, which is then reacted with carbon dioxide, worked-up and purified to give the acid. This sequence serves to illustrate some important concepts of practical synthetic organic chemistry : preparing and working with air and moisture sensitive reagents, the "work-up", extractions, apparatus set-up, etc. The synthesis utilises one of the most important type of reagents discussed in introductory organic chemistry, organometallic reagents. In this reaction, the Grignard reagent (an organomagnesium compound), phenylmagnesium bromide is prepared by reaction of bromobenzene with magnesium metal in diethyl ether (the solvent). The Grignard reagent will then be converted to benzoic acid via the reaction of the Grignard reagent with excess dry ice (solid CO2) followed by a "work-up" using dilute aqueous acid : The aryl (or alkyl) group of the Grignard reagent behaves as if it has the characteristics of a carbanion so it is a source of nucleophilic carbon. It is reasonable to represent the structure of the - + Grignard reagent as a partly ionic compound, R ....MgX. This partially-bonded carbanion is a very strong base and will react with acids (HA) to give an alkane: RH + MgAX RMgX + HA Any compound with suitably acidic hydrogens will readily donate a proton to destroy the reagent. Water, alcohols, terminal acetylenes, phenols and carboxylic acids are just some of the functional groups that are sufficiently acidic to bring about this reaction which is usually an unwanted side reaction that destroys the Grignard reagent.

Academic Editor: Kouki Matsubara Received: 30 May 2019; Accepted: 18 June 2019; Published: 21 June 2019 Abstract: A cross-coupling reaction of allylic aryl ethers with arylmagnesium reagents was investigated using β-aminoketonato- and β-diketiminato-based pincer-type nickel(II) complexes as catalysts. An β-aminoketonato nickel(II) complex bearing a diphenylphosphino group as a third donor effectively catalyzed the reaction to afford the target cross-coupled products, allylbenzene derivatives, in high yield. The regioselective reaction of a variety of substituted cinnamyl ethers proceeded to give the corresponding linear products. In contrast, α- and γ-alkyl substituted allylic ethers afforded a mixture of the linear and branched products. These results indicated that the coupling reaction proceeded via a π-allyl nickel intermediate. Keywords: pincer-type nickel(II) complex; cross-coupling; allylic ether 1. Introduction Transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are efficient and widely utilized synthetic protocols for constructing carbon–carbon bonds [1]. The reactions of allylic electrophiles with aryl metal reagents provide promising methodologies for the formation of C(sp3)–C(sp2) bonds.

Adaptor (19/22.14/20) Grignard Reaction: Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol Pre-Lab: In the “equations” section, besides the main equations, also: 1) draw the equation for the production of the byproduct, Biphenyl. 2) what other byproduct might occur in the reaction? Why? In the “observation” section, draw data tables in the corresponding places, each with 2 columns -- one for “prediction” (by answering the following questions) and one for actual drops or observation. 1) How many drops of bromobenzene should you add? 2) How many drops of ether will you add to flask 2? 3) 100 µL is approximately how many drops? 4) What are the four signs of a chemical reaction? (Think back to Chem. 110) 5) How do the signs of a chemical reaction apply to this lab? The Grignard reaction is a useful synthetic procedure for forming new carbon- carbon bonds. This organometallic chemical reaction involves alkyl- or aryl-magnesium halides, known as Grignard 1 reagents. Grignard reagents are formed via the action of an alkyl or aryl halide on magnesium metal.

  • Oxidative Addition of Polar Reagents
    OXIDATIVE ADDITION OF POLAR REAGENTS Organometallic chemistry has vastly expanded the practicing organic chemist’s notion of what makes a good nucleophile or electrophile. Pre-cross-coupling, for example, using unactivated aryl halides as electrophiles was largely a pipe dream (or possible only under certain specific circumstances). Enter the oxidative addition of polarized bonds: all of a sudden, compounds like bromobenzene started looking a lot more attractive as starting materials. Cross-coupling reactionsinvolving sp2- and sp-hybridized C–X bonds beautifully complement the “classical” substitution reactions at sp3electrophilic carbons. Oxidative addition of the C–X bond is the step that kicks off the magic of these methods. In this post, we’ll explore the mechanisms and favorability trends of oxidative additions of polar reagents. The landscape of mechanistic possibilities for polarized bonds is much more rich than in the non-polar case—concerted, ionic, and radical mechanisms have all been observed. Concerted Mechanisms 2 Oxidative additions of aryl and alkenyl Csp –X bonds, where X is a halogen or sulfonate, proceed through concertedmechanisms analogous to oxidative additions of dihydrogen. Reactions of N–H and O–H bonds in amines, alcohols, and water also appear to be concerted. A π complex involving η2-coordination is an intermediate in the mechanism of insertion into aryl halides at least, and probably vinyl halides too. As two open coordination sites are necessary for concerted oxidative addition, loss of a ligand from a saturated metal complex commonly precedes the actual oxidative addition event. Concerted oxidative addition of aryl halides and sulfonates. Trends in the reactivity of alkyl and aryl (pseudo)halides toward oxidative addition are some of the most famous in organometallic chemistry.

INTRODUCTION This review considers two aspects of the interaction of Grignards with silanes. First, focusing on technologies that are still viable within the context of current organosilane and silicone technology, guidelines are provided for silicon-carbon bond formation using Grignard chemistry. Second, the use of silane-blocking agents and their stability in the presence of Grignard reagents employed in organic synthesis is discussed. II. FORMATION OF THE SILICON-CARBON BOND A. Background The genesis of current silane and silicone technology traces back to the Grignard reaction. The first practical synthesis of organosilanes was accomplished by F. Stanley Kipping in 1904 by the Grignard reaction for the formation of the silicon-carbon bond [1]. In an effort totaling 57 papers, he created the basis of modern organosilane chemistry. The development of silicones by Frank Hyde at Corning was based on the hydrolysis of Grignard-derived organosilanes [2]. Dow Corning, the largest manufacturer of silanes and silicones, was formed as a joint venture between Corning Glass, which had silicone product technology, and Dow, which had magnesium and Grignard technology, during World War II. In excess of 10,000 silicon compounds have been synthesized by Grignard reactions. Ironically, despite the versatility of Grignard chemistry for the formation of silicon-carbon bonds, its use in current silane and silicone technology has been supplanted by more efficient and selective processes for the formation of the silicon-carbon bond, notably by the direct process and hydrosilylation reactions.

A Mild, Palladium-Catalyzed Method for the Dehydrohalogenation of Alkyl Bromides: Synthetic and Mechanistic Studies Alex C. Bissember†,‡, Anna Levina†, and Gregory C. Fu†,‡ †Department of Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, United States ‡Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91125, United States Abstract We have exploited a typically undesired elementary step in cross-coupling reactions, β-hydride elimination, to accomplish palladium-catalyzed dehydrohalogenations of alkyl bromides to form terminal olefins. We have applied this method, which proceeds in excellent yield at room temperature in the presence of a variety of functional groups, to a formal total synthesis of (R)- mevalonolactone. Our mechanistic studies establish that the rate-determining step can vary with the structure of the alkyl bromide, and, most significantly, that L2PdHBr (L=phosphine), an often- invoked intermediate in palladium-catalyzed processes such as the Heck reaction, is not an intermediate in the active catalytic cycle. INTRODUCTION The elimination of HX to form an olefin is one of the most elementary transformations in organic chemistry (eq 1).1,2 However, harsh conditions, such as the use of a strong Brønsted acid/base or a high temperature (which can lead to poor functional-group compatibility and to olefin isomerization) are often necessary for this seemingly straightforward process.
