Hydrocarbons with carbon– carbon double bonds . Carbon–carbon double bond is the functional group of alkenes . Carbon–carbon double bond gives this group its reactivity . Called unsaturated compounds © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 2 Introduction: Alkene Nomenclature © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 3 Introduction: Alkene Nomenclature In a ring, the double bond is assumed to be between carbon 1 and carbon 2. CH3 3 1 CH3 2 2 1 1-methylcyclopentene 3-methylcyclopentene © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 4 Introduction: Alkene with Multiple Double Bonds . Give the double bonds the lowest numbers possible . Use di-, tri-, tetra- before the ending -ene to specify how many double bonds are present © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 5 Introduction: Alkene Cis-Trans Isomers . Also called geometric isomerism . Similar groups on same side of double bond, alkene is cis . Similar groups on opposite sides of double bond, alkene is trans . Not all alkenes show cis-trans isomerism . All cycloalkenes are assumed to be cis unless otherwise specifically named trans © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 6 Introduction: Alkene E-Z Nomenclature . Use the Cahn–Ingold–Prelog rules to assign priorities to groups attached to each carbon in the double bond 1. Look at the four atoms directly attached to the stereogenic center (X) 2. Assign priorities based on atomic number to all four atoms. Priority 1 is assigned to the atom or group of highest atomic number, priority 4 to the lowest 3. If two or more atoms are identical look at all the atoms directly attached to the identical atoms in questions Compare the highest priority atoms, if the highest priority atoms have the same priority,, then compare the second highest priority atoms and so on 4. If a difference still can not be found, move out to the next highest priority group (A- 1 and B-1 in the diagram) and repeat the process 5. Multiple bonds are considered as an equivalent number of single bonded atoms 7 Introduction: Alkene E-Z Nomenclature 1. Assign priorities to groups by the Cahn–Ingold–Prelog rules 2. If high-priority groups are on the same side, the name is Z (for zusammen) 3. If high-priority groups are on opposite sides, the name is E (for entgegen) 8 Introduction: Alkene E-Z Nomenclature Example . Assign priority to the substituents according 1 2 to their atomic number (1 is highest priority). If the highest priority groups are on opposite 1 2 sides, the isomer is E. If the highest priority E-1-bromo-1-chloropropene groups are on the same side, the isomer is Z. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 9 Introduction: Alkene E-Z Nomenclature for Cyclic Stereoisomers . Double bonds outside the ring can show stereoisomerism © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 10 Introduction: E-Z Stereochemistry in Polyene Nomenclature . If there is more than one double bond in the molecule, the stereochemistry of all the double bonds should be specified. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 11 Polyenes . Molecules contains more than one double bond © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 12 Polyene Systems • Double bonds separated by two or more single bonds are isolated • Double bonds separated by one single bond are conjugated • Conjugated double bonds are more stable than isolated ones © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 13 Is there a difference between isolated double bonds and conjugated double bonds? Yes, conjugated polyenes are more stable than isolated double bonds Determine by Hhydrog 14 What is Heat of Hydrogenation? . Compare heat given off on hydrogenation: Ho . Evaluate heat given off when C=C is converted to C-C . Less stable isomer is higher in energy . More stable alkene gives off less heat Hhydrog . trans-butene generates 5 kJ Hhydrog less heat than cis-butene 15 Stability of Conjugated Compounds . Conjugated dienes are more stable than nonconjugated based on heats of hydrogenation . Hydrogenating 1,3-butadiene produces 17 kJ/mol less heat than 1,4-pentadiene 16 Stability of Conjugated Compounds . What accounts for the stability of conjugated dienes? . Valence bond theory states it is due to orbital hybridization 17 Stability of Conjugated Compounds . Typical C-C bonds result from overlap of sp3 orbitals on both carbons . Conjugated C-C bonds result from overlap of sp2 orbitals on both carbons . sp2 orbitals have more s character (33% s) than sp3 orbitals (25% s) . Greater stability of a conjugated diene results from the greater amount of s character in the orbitals forming the C-C single bond 18 Stability of Conjugated Compounds . What accounts for the stability of conjugated dienes? . Valence bond theory states it is due to orbital hybridization . Molecular orbital theory states it is due to interaction between the orbitals of the two double bonds 19 Stability of Conjugated Compounds 1,3-Butadiene . Small amount of overlap across the central C2—C3 bond, giving it a partial double bond character . Electrons are delocalized over the molecule . The C2—C3 single bond is shorter than 1.54 Å © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 20 ADDITIONS TO CONJUGATED DIENES 21 Allylic Carbon 22 The Allylic Position . The allylic carbon is the one directly attached to an sp2 carbon . Allylic cations are stabilized by resonance © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 23 Allylic Cations The positive charge is delocalized over two carbons by resonance, giving the allylic cation more stability than nonconjugated cations © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 24 Stability of Carbocations . Stability of 1 allylic 2 carbocation . Stability of 2 allylic 3 carbocation © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 25 Electrophilic Addition to Conjugated Dienes 26 1,2- and 1,4-Addition to Conjugated Dienes . Electrophilic addition to the double bond produces the most stable intermediate . For conjugated dienes, the intermediate is a resonance-stabilized allylic cation . Nucleophile adds to either carbon 2 or 4, both of which have the delocalized positive charge 27 Conjugate Addition: 1,2- Addition and 1,4-Addition Addition by Markovnikov Rule Addition by allylic cation stabilization . Conjugated dienes undergo electrophilic addition . Products a mixture of 1,2 and 1,4 addition . Numbers refer to which carbon the addition occurs on 28 Conjugate Addition: 1,2- Addition and 1,4-Addition . Electrophilic addition . 1,2-addition is by Markovnikov Rule . 1,4 addition is by allylic cation stabilization 29 Conjugate Addition: 1,2-Addition and 1,4-Addition 30 Example 14-1 Give the structures of the likely products from reaction of 1 equivalent of HCL with 2-methyl- 1,3,-cyclohexadiene. Show both 1,2 and 1,4 adducts. SOLUTION 1. Protonate the two ends of the diene and draw resonance forms of the 2 allylic carbocations that result 2. React each resonance form with Cl- Most likely product More stable form of protonation Allylic cation more stable 31 Electrophilic Addition to Conjugated Dienes Kinetic or Thermodynamic Reaction 32 Conjugate Addition: Kinetic versus Thermodynamic Control . The percent of adduct available differs at different temperatures . At low temperatures, Markovnikov Rule product is in abundance . At higher temperature, the product ratio changes and the 1,4 adduct predominates 33 Conjugate Addition: Kinetic versus Thermodynamic Control 1,3 Butadiene Why would increasing the temperature after the product is formed at lower temperatures change the ratio of the products formed? 34 Conjugate Addition: Kinetic versus Thermodynamic Control . Kinetic control is an irreversible reaction that depends on relative rates, not stability . Thermodynamic control is reversible reaction that depends on stability not on relative rates 35 Conjugate Addition: Kinetic versus Thermodynamic Control . Kinetic control is an irreversible reaction that depends on relative rates, not stability . Thermodynamic control is reversible reaction that depends on stability not on relative rates 36 Kinetic Control at – 80oC . Transition state for the 1,2-addition has a lower Ea because it is a more stable secondary carbocation 37 Kinetic Control at – 80oC . Transition state for the 1,2-addition has a lower Ea because it is a more stable secondary carbocation . The 1,2-addition will be the faster addition at any temperature . The nucleophilic attack of the bromide on the C2 allylic carbocation is irreversible at this low temperature . The product that forms faster predominates (kinetic product) . Because the kinetics of the reaction determines the product, the reaction is said to be under kinetic control 38 Thermodynamic Control at 40oC . The 1,2-addition is still the faster addition, but at 40oC, the bromide attack is reversible . The 1,2-product ionizes back to the allylic cation . At 40oC an equilibrium is established, which favors the most stable product . The 1,4-addition is the most stable product (thermodynamic product) because it has a more substituted double bond . Because the thermodynamics of the reaction determines the product, the reaction is said to be under thermodynamic control 39 Diels-Alder Reaction 40 Diels–Alder Reaction . The reaction is between a diene and an electron-deficient alkene or alkyne (dienophile) dienophile diene 41 Diels–Alder Reaction . Conjugate dienes combine with alkenes to form six- membered cyclic compounds . Reaction called a cycloaddition . The formation of the ring involves no intermediate (concerted formation of two bonds) 42 Diels–Alder Reaction . Also called a [4 + 2] cycloaddition because a ring is formed by the interaction of four pi electrons of the alkene with two pi electrons of the alkene or alkyne . Two more sigma bonds . Two fewer pi bonds 43 Diels–Alder Reaction: Examples 44 s-Cis Conformation of the Diene . Positions of the two double bonds around the single bond in the diene are “cis” or “trans” to each other . Conformations are called s-cis and s-trans (“s” stands for “single bond”) . s-trans conformation is 12 kJ/mol more stable than the s-cis 45 Diels–Alder Reaction: Stereochemical Requirements .

    POLYMETHYLENE PYRIDINES , A thesis submitted by David Robert Brittain in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OP PHILOSOPHY in the University of London Organic Chemistry Department, dune, 1965. Imperial College, LONDON, S.W.7. ABSTRACT This thesis describes a series of attempts to syn- thesise 2,5- and 1,4-polymethylene bridged pyridines. Nuclear magnetic resonance theory predicts that protons, which are held directly over an aromatic ring, will be abnormally shielded compared with protons in aliphatic straight-chain hydrocarbons. This prediction has been verified for the central methylene protons of paracyclo- phanes. The degree of shielding, expressed in terms of the distance from the aromatic ring, is a measure of the induced ring current and hence the aromaticity of the benzene ring. Similar measurements upon 2,5- or 1,4— polymethylene bridged pyridines would make it possible to determine the degree of aromaticity of the pyridine ring relative to benzene. A review of the subject of aromaticity is presented in which special reference has been made to its inter- pretation by nuclear magnetic resonance. The synthetic work has not been brougL.t to a truly satisfactory conclusion. However, the synthetic routes to 2,5-dialkylpyridines have been thoroughly investigated and a wide variety of such compounds prepared. The functional groups at the ends of the alkyl chains have been varied in an effort to produce a derivative which would cyclise to give a 2,5-bridged pyridine. The attempted intramolecular oxidative coupling of 2,5-dihex- 51 -ynylpyridine received much attention. In the attempts to obtain a 1,4-bridged pyridine, two tricyclic compounds, each containing two quaternised pyridine rings linked by polymethylene chains, were obtained.

  • Photoremovable Protecting Groups Used for the Caging of Biomolecules
    1 1 Photoremovable Protecting Groups Used for the Caging of Biomolecules 1.1 2-Nitrobenzyl and 7-Nitroindoline Derivatives John E.T. Corrie 1.1.1 Introduction 1.1.1.1 Preamble and Scope of the Review This chapter covers developments with 2-nitrobenzyl (and substituted variants) and 7-nitroindoline caging groups over the decade from 1993, when the author last reviewed the topic [1]. Other reviews covered parts of the field at a similar date [2, 3], and more recent coverage is also available [4–6]. This chapter is not an exhaustive review of every instance of the subject cages, and its principal focus is on the chemistry of synthesis and photocleavage. Applications of indi- vidual compounds are only briefly discussed, usually when needed to put the work into context. The balance between the two cage types is heavily slanted to- ward the 2-nitrobenzyls, since work with 7-nitroindoline cages dates essentially from 1999 (see Section 1.1.3.2), while the 2-nitrobenzyl type has been in use for 25 years, from the introduction of caged ATP 1 (Scheme 1.1.1) by Kaplan and co-workers [7] in 1978.

Griesbeck benzene derivatives; cycloadditions; Diels–Alder; photochemistry © 2011 Streit and Bochet; licensee Beilstein-Institut. License and terms: see end of document. Abstract In the presence of an alkene, three different modes of photocycloaddition with benzene derivatives can occur; the [2 + 2] or ortho, the [3 + 2] or meta, and the [4 + 2] or para photocycloaddition. This short review aims to demonstrate the synthetic power of these photocycloadditions. Introduction Photocycloadditions occur in a variety of modes [1]. The best In the presence of an alkene, three different modes of photo- known representatives are undoubtedly the [2 + 2] photocyclo- cycloaddition with benzene derivatives can occur, viz. the addition, forming either cyclobutanes or four-membered hetero- [2 + 2] or ortho, the [3 + 2] or meta, and the [4 + 2] or para cycles (as in the Paternò–Büchi reaction), whilst excited-state photocycloaddition (Scheme 2). The descriptors ortho, meta [4 + 4] cycloadditions can also occur to afford cyclooctadiene and para only indicate the connectivity to the aromatic ring, and compounds. On the other hand, the well-known thermal [4 + 2] do not have any implication with regard to the reaction mecha- cycloaddition (Diels–Alder reaction) is only very rarely nism.

  • Aromatic Compounds
    OCR Chemistry A Aromatic Compounds Aromatic Compounds Naming Aromatic compounds contain one or more benzene rings (while aliphatic compounds do not contain benzene rings). Another term for a compound containing a benzene ring is arene. The basic benzene ring, C6H6 is commonly represented as a hexagon with a ring inside. You should be aware that there is a hydrogen at each corner although this is not normally shown. N.B. it is OK to use benzene in this form in structural formulae too! Arenes occur naturally in many substances, and are present in coal and crude oil. Aspirin, for example, is an aromatic compound, an arene: HO O O CH 3 O Naming of substances based on benzene follows familiar rules: CH Br NO 3 2 benzene methylbenzene bromobenzene nitrobenzene Numbers are needed to identify the positions of substituents. The carbons around the ring are numbered from 1-6 consecutively and the name which gives the lowest number(s) is chosen: CH3 CH3 Cl Br Cl Br 2-bromomethylbenzene 4-bromomethylbenzene 1,2-dichlorobenzene Cl Cl Cl 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene Page 1 OCR Chemistry A Aromatic Compounds Determining the structure of benzene (historical) 1825 – substance first isolated by Michael Faraday, who also determined its empirical formula as CH 1834 – RFM of 78 and molecular formula of C6H6 determined H H H C C C Much speculation over the structure. Many suggested structures like: C C C H H H 1865 – Kekulé publishes suggestion of a ring with alternating double and single bonds: H H C H C C displayed C C skeletal H C H H This model persisted until 1922, but not all chemists accepted the structure because it failed to explain the chemical and physical properties of benzene fully: if C=C bonds were present as Kekulé proposed, then benzene would react like alkenes.

  • Introduction to Alkenes and Alkynes in an Alkane, All Covalent Bonds
    Introduction to Alkenes and Alkynes In an alkane, all covalent bonds between carbon were σ (σ bonds are defined as bonds where the electron density is symmetric about the internuclear axis) In an alkene, however, only three σ bonds are formed from the alkene carbon -the carbon thus adopts an sp2 hybridization Ethene (common name ethylene) has a molecular formula of CH2CH2 Each carbon is sp2 hybridized with a σ bond to two hydrogens and the other carbon Hybridized orbital allows stronger bonds due to more overlap H H C C H H Structure of Ethylene In addition to the σ framework of ethylene, each carbon has an atomic p orbital not used in hybridization The two p orbitals (each with one electron) overlap to form a π bond (p bonds are not symmetric about the internuclear axis) π bonds are not as strong as σ bonds (in ethylene, the σ bond is ~90 Kcal/mol and the π bond is ~66 Kcal/mol) Thus while σ bonds are stable and very few reactions occur with C-C bonds, π bonds are much more reactive and many reactions occur with C=C π bonds Nomenclature of Alkenes August Wilhelm Hofmann’s attempt for systematic hydrocarbon nomenclature (1866) Attempted to use a systematic name by naming all possible structures with 4 carbons Quartane a alkane C4H10 Quartyl C4H9 Quartene e alkene C4H8 Quartenyl C4H7 Quartine i alkine → alkyne C4H6 Quartinyl C4H5 Quartone o C4H4 Quartonyl C4H3 Quartune u C4H2 Quartunyl C4H1 Wanted to use Quart from the Latin for 4 – this method was not embraced and BUT has remained Used English order of vowels, however, to name the groups

  • Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just Like an Alkene, Benzene Has Clouds of  Electrons Above and Below Its Sigma Bond Framework
    Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just like an alkene, benzene has clouds of electrons above and below its sigma bond framework. Although the electrons are in a stable aromatic system, they are still available for reaction with strong electrophiles. This generates a carbocation which is resonance stabilized (but not aromatic). This cation is called a sigma complex because the electrophile is joined to the benzene ring through a new sigma bond. The sigma complex (also called an arenium ion) is not aromatic since it contains an sp3 carbon (which disrupts the required loop of p orbitals). Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page1 The loss of aromaticity required to form the sigma complex explains the highly endothermic nature of the first step. (That is why we require strong electrophiles for reaction). The sigma complex wishes to regain its aromaticity, and it may do so by either a reversal of the first step (i.e. regenerate the starting material) or by loss of the proton on the sp3 carbon (leading to a substitution product). When a reaction proceeds this way, it is electrophilic aromatic substitution. There are a wide variety of electrophiles that can be introduced into a benzene ring in this way, and so electrophilic aromatic substitution is a very important method for the synthesis of substituted aromatic compounds. Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page2 Bromination of Benzene Bromination follows the same general mechanism for the electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS). Bromine itself is not electrophilic enough to react with benzene. But the addition of a strong Lewis acid (electron pair acceptor), such as FeBr3, catalyses the reaction, and leads to the substitution product.

Butlerov Chemical Institute, Kazan State University, Kremlevskaya str.18, 420008 Kazan, Russian Federation E-mail: [email protected] Dedicated to the 70th anniversary of Professor Alexander I. Konovalov (received 02 Nov 04; accepted 08 Jan 05; published on the web 05 Feb 05) Abstract The rate and equilibrium constants for the Diels-Alder reactions between benzene and naphthalene as dienes and tetracyanoethylene, maleic anhydride and N-phenylmaleimide as dienophiles at 25 °С were estimated from empirical rule. The highest yield of the adduct was predicted for the reaction of naphthalene with N-phenylmaleimide. The time of adduct formation in 50% yield exceeds 30 years. The use of gallium chloride as a catalyst affords the exo-adduct for seven days at room temperature. The rate ((2±0.5)•10-6 L mol-1 s-1) and equilibrium constants (5±2 L mol-1) of this reaction were determined. Under high pressure conditions (8 kbar) reaction occurs with formation of both stereo isomers at 100 °С during 80 hours. Keywords: Naphthalene, Diels-Alder reaction, catalysis, high pressure Introduction 1 Many dienes, including substituted benzenes and naphthalenes, are known to form molecular complexes of the π,π-type due to the interaction of the highest occupied π-orbital of a diene- donor with the lowest unoccupied π-orbital of a dienophile-acceptor.

  • Chapter 7 - Alkenes and Alkynes I
    Andrew Rosen Chapter 7 - Alkenes and Alkynes I 7.1 - Introduction - The simplest member of the alkenes has the common name of ethylene while the simplest member of the alkyne family has the common name of acetylene 7.2 - The (E)-(Z) System for Designating Alkene Diastereomers - To determine E or Z, look at the two groups attached to one carbon atom of the double bond and decide which has higher priority. Then, repeat this at the other carbon atom. This system is not used for cycloalkenes - If the two groups of higher priority are on the same side of the double bond, the alkene is designated Z. If the two groups of higher priority are on opposite sides of the double bond, the alkene is designated E - Hydrogenation is a syn/cis addition 7.3 - Relative Stabilities of Alkenes - The trans isomer is generally more stable than the cis isomer due to electron repulsions - The addition of hydrogen to an alkene, hydrogenation, is exothermic (heat of hydrogenation) - The greater number of attached alkyl groups, the greater the stability of an alkene 7.5 - Synthesis of Alkenes via Elimination Reactions, 7.6 - Dehydrohalogenation of Alkyl Halides How to Favor E2: - Reaction conditions that favor elimination by E1 should be avoided due to the highly competitive SN 1 mechanism - To favor E2, a secondary or tertiary alkyl halide should be used - If there is only a possibility for a primary alkyl halide, use a bulky base - Use a higher concentration of a strong and nonpolarizable base, like an alkoxide - EtONa=EtOH favors the more substituted double bond

  • INVESTIGATION of POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS (Pahs) on DRY FLUE GAS DESULFURIZATION (FGD) BY-PRODUCTS
    INVESTIGATION OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS (PAHs) ON DRY FLUE GAS DESULFURIZATION (FGD) BY-PRODUCTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ping Sun, M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Linda Weavers, Adviser Professor Harold Walker Professor Patrick Hatcher Adviser Professor Yu-Ping Chin Civil Engineering Graduate Program ABSTRACT The primary goal of this research was to examine polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on dry FGD by-products to determine environmentally safe reuse options of this material. Due to the lack of information on the analytical procedures for measuring PAHs on FGD by-products, our initial work focused on analytical method development. Comparison of the traditional Soxhlet extraction, automatic Soxhlet extraction, and ultrasonic extraction was conducted to optimize the extraction of PAHs from lime spray dryer (LSD) ash (a common dry FGD by-product). Due to the short extraction time, ultrasonic extraction was further optimized by testing different organic solvents. Ultrasonic extraction with toluene as the solvent turned out to be a fast and efficient method to extract PAHs from LSD ash. The possible reactions of PAHs under standard ultrasonic extraction conditions were then studied to address concern over the possible degradation of PAHs by ultrasound. By sonicating model PAHs including naphthalene, phenanthrene and pyrene in organic solutions, extraction parameters including solvent type, solute concentration, and sonication time on reactions of PAHs were examined. A hexane: acetone (1:1 V/V) ii mixture resulted in less PAH degradation than a dichloromethane (DCM): acetone (1:1 V/V) mixture.
