ABSTRACT Part I- Attempts to synthesize a, cyclopropanone derivative from the reaction of triphenylmethyl sodium and some alpha-halo- ketones are reported. The reactions of 3-bromo-3-methyl-2- hutanone, 2-methyl-2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanone, methyl-l-bromo- cyclohexyl ketone, and 1-bromo-l, 1,3,3-tetraphenylacetone with triphenylmethyl sodium as well as 3-bromo-3-methyl-2- butanone and 1-bromo-l, 1,3,3-tetraphenylacetone with dimsyl- sodium were investigated. 3-bromo-3-methyl-2-butanone and 1-bromo-l,1,3,3-tetraphenylacetone when treated with tri­ phenylmethyl sodium gave a considerable amount of the reduc­ tion product. Elimination was also observed when 3-bromo-3- methyl-2-butanone and 2-bromo-2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanone were treated with triphenylmethyl sodium. Although a cyclopro­ panone derivative was not obtained, a better insight into the general reaction of alpha-haloketones and base was realized. Part II A new synthesis of ethers from triaryl and benzhydryl alcohols has been found. Thus, triphenyloarbinol and benz- hydrol when reacted with iodine in the presence of some aliphatic alcohols yield the corresponding ethers. This procedure has proven more convenient than known methods. Cinnamyl alcohol was also found to be amenable to this synthetic procedure, while benzyl alcohol did not yield the ii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

The course of the reaction involves, iodine as a true catalyst which generates a carbonium ion from the trityl and benzhydryl systems. Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

In this unit and in the next units, we will srudy some derivatives of hydrocarbons. Replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms in a hycimcarbon by halogen atom(s) [F, CI, Br, or I:] gives the halogen derivatives. These compounds are important laboratory and industrial solvents and serve as intermediates in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Many chlorohydrocarbons have acquired importance as insecticides. Although there are not many naturally occurring halogen derivatives yet you might be familiar with one such compound, thyroxin-a thyroid hormone. In this unit, we shall take up the chemistry of the halogen derivatives in detail beginning with classification of halogen derivatives and then going over to methods of their preparation. We shall also discuss the reactivity'of halogen compounds and focus our attention specially, on some important reactions such as nucleophilic substitution (SN)and elimination (E) reactions. Finally, we shall take up uses of halogen derivatives and the methods for their detection.

  • 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

  • Elimination Reactions Are Described
    Introduction In this module, different types of elimination reactions are described. From a practical standpoint, elimination reactions widely used for the generation of double and triple bonds in compounds from a saturated precursor molecule. The presence of a good leaving group is a prerequisite in most elimination reactions. Traditional classification of elimination reactions, in terms of the molecularity of the reaction is employed. How the changes in the nature of the substrate as well as reaction conditions affect the mechanism of elimination are subsequently discussed. The stereochemical requirements for elimination in a given substrate and its consequence in the product stereochemistry is emphasized. ELIMINATION REACTIONS Objective and Outline beta-eliminations E1, E2 and E1cB mechanisms Stereochemical considerations of these reactions Examples of E1, E2 and E1cB reactions Alpha eliminations and generation of carbene I. Basics Elimination reactions involve the loss of fragments or groups from a molecule to generate multiple bonds. A generalized equation is shown below for 1,2-elimination wherein the X and Y from two adjacent carbon atoms are removed, elimination C C C C -XY X Y Three major types of elimination reactions are: α-elimination: two atoms or groups are removed from the same atom. It is also known as 1,1-elimination. H R R C X C + HX R Both H and X are removed from carbon atom here R Carbene β-elimination: loss of atoms or groups on adjacent atoms. It is also H H known as 1,2- elimination. R C C R R HC CH R X H γ-elimination: loss of atoms or groups from the 1st and 3rd positions as shown below.

Some reactions either fit more than one Students of organic chemistry are taught a number of reactions for the synthesis of category or do not fit easily into any of them. Efforts have been made to place all such reactions in the cyclohexanes at a very early stage of their careers. Techniques for the creation of cyclopentanes, most appropriate category. however, are generally taught at a much later stage and are rarely given the same detailed treatment. This may be the result of the fact that there are no equivalents of reactions such as the Diels-Alder and I.

This invention relates to a novel process for the oxida This method of oxidizing alcohols to the corresponding tion of chemical compounds, and more particularly to carbonyl compounds is generally applicable to all pri an improved method for the oxidation of primary and mary and secondary alcohols. Examples of such al Secondary alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl com cohols that might be mentioned are aliphatic alcohols pounds. 5 such as alkanals, alkenols, alkinois, polyhydric alkanols, This application is a continuation-in-part application polyhydric alkenols and polyhydric alkinols; aralkyl al of my application Serial No. 263,016, filed December cohols; aralkenyl alcohols; aralkinyl alcohols; alicyclic 22, 1951, now abandoned, and my copending application alcohols such as cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, cycloalkinyl, Serial No.
