Investigating Carbocations Using High Speed Ball Milling Investigating carbocations using high speed ball milling A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Chemistry of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences by Meghan R. Wagner B. S. Chemistry Otterbein College June 2009 Committee Chair: James Mack, Ph.D. i Abstract of Thesis Carbocations are typically formed in solution, where the solvent stabilizes the carbocation and mixes the reaction allowing the particles to interact and form products. However, in the absence of solvent it is unknown if the carbocation will form. Previous literature has shown that SN2 reactions can occur under high speed ball milling conditions; the results were that primary alkyl halides undergo substitution reactions, while the reactions of secondary alkyl halides depend on the nucleophile. However, reactions that form a carbocation intermediate, such as, SN1 reaction and pinacol rearrangement have not been explored, until now. ii iii Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge and thank everyone that has helped me reach my goals thus far. iv Table of Contents Chapter Page 1.

advances have had an adverse effect on the environment. For example, as a result of the industrial revolution, increased manufacturing led to an increase in air pollution. In order to limit the amount of pollution the Clean Air Act was passed to limit pollution from factories.1 Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring shed light on the effects of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) to the environment.2 She observed that DDT, a powerful pesticide was responsible for the thinning of egg shells which had an adverse effect on the population of the American Bald Eagle leading the Bald Eagle to be an endangered species. 2 In part due to the findings in this book the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was established by President Richard M. Nixon.3 The EPA banned DDT two years later3 and now the American Bald Eagle is no longer endangered. Although pollution and pesticides were regulated in the 1960’s chemical waste disposal was not regulated. One of the main environmental tragedies that demonstrated poor chemical disposal was the infamous Love Canal incident. The “Love Canal” was originally created by William T. Love who wanted to create an ideal community by a canal that was between the upper and lower Niagara Rivers; however, it was turned into a chemical waste dump site.4 The Love Canal was then used to store chemical waste, and the Hooker Chemical Company buried the waste and sold it back to the city.4 When the chemicals began leeching into the soil and water, the chemicals effected humans by causing birth defects, miscarriages, and other health issues.4 In 1980, The Superfund was created, to clean up the most hazardous waste sites, and it has cleaned up 1,080 sites from its creation to 2009.5 One of the first sites cleaned up was the Valley of Drums, in Bullitt County, Kentucky, 1 where about 4,000 drums were rusting and leaking, causing waste to be dumped, shown in Figure 1.6 Figure 1. Valley of the Drums.6 The pollution from the drums caused health problems for people who lived in the area.6 After sites like the Valley of the Drums and Love Canal were cleaned up, pollution prevention was a way to prevent the sites from existing and becoming a problem. In 1990, the Pollution Prevention Act was passed.3 As a result, Green Chemistry was established. Green Chemistry Green Chemistry was formed to reduce and eliminate the creation of hazardous materials.7 Twelve principles were founded to guide Green Chemistry. They are:8 1. Prevention It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been created. 2. Atom Economy Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of all materials used in the process into the final product. 2 3. Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses Wherever practical, synthetic methods should be designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health and the environment. 4. Designing Safer Chemicals Chemical products should be designed to affect their desired function while minimizing their toxicity.

Reactive intermediate, on the other hand, are short lived and their importance lies in the assignment of reaction mechanisms on the pathway from the starting substrate to stable products. These reactive intermediates are not isolated, but are detected by spectroscopic methods, or trapped chemically or their presence is confirmed by indirect evidence. • Carbocations Carbocations are the key intermediates in several reactions and particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Structure of Carbocations : Generally, in the carbocations the positively charged carbon atom is bonded to three other atoms and has no nonbonding electrons. It is sp 2 hybridized with a planar structure and bond angles of about 120°. There is a + vacant unhybridized p orbital which in the case of CH 3 lies perpendicular to the plane of C—H bonds. Stability of Carbocations: There is an increase in carbocation stability with additional alkyl substitution. Thus one finds that addition of HX to three typical olefins decreases in the order (CH 3)2C=CH 2>CH 3—CH = CH 2 > CH 2 = CH 2. This is due to the relative stabilities of the carbocations formed in the rate determining step which in turn follows from the fact that the stability is increased by the electron releasing methyl group (+I), three such groups being more effective than two, and two more effective than one.

  • Lecture Outline a Closer Look at Carbocation Stabilities and SN1/E1 Reaction Rates We Learned That an Important Factor in the SN
    Lecture outline A closer look at carbocation stabilities and SN1/E1 reaction rates We learned that an important factor in the SN1/E1 reaction pathway is the stability of the carbocation intermediate. The more stable the carbocation, the faster the reaction. But how do we know anything about the stabilities of carbocations? After all, they are very unstable, high-energy species that can't be observed directly under ordinary reaction conditions. In protic solvents, carbocations typically survive only for picoseconds (1 ps - 10–12s). Much of what we know (or assume we know) about carbocation stabilities comes from measurements of the rates of reactions that form them, like the ionization of an alkyl halide in a polar solvent. The key to connecting reaction rates (kinetics) with the stability of high-energy intermediates (thermodynamics) is the Hammond postulate. The Hammond postulate says that if two consecutive structures on a reaction coordinate are similar in energy, they are also similar in structure. For example, in the SN1/E1 reactions, we know that the carbocation intermediate is much higher in energy than the alkyl halide reactant, so the transition state for the ionization step must lie closer in energy to the carbocation than the alkyl halide. The Hammond postulate says that the transition state should therefore resemble the carbocation in structure. So factors that stabilize the carbocation also stabilize the transition state leading to it. Here are two examples of rxn coordinate diagrams for the ionization step that are reasonable and unreasonable according to the Hammond postulate. We use the Hammond postulate frequently in making assumptions about the nature of transition states and how reaction rates should be influenced by structural features in the reactants or products.

  • Grignard Reaction: Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol
    *NOTE: Grignard reactions are very moisture sensitive, so all the glassware in the reaction (excluding the work-up) should be dried in an oven with a temperature of > 100oC overnight. The following items require oven drying. They should be placed in a 150mL beaker, all labeled with a permanent marker. 1. 5mL conical vial (AKA: Distillation receiver). 2. Magnetic spin vane. 3. Claisen head. 4. Three Pasteur pipettes. 5. Two 1-dram vials (Caps EXCLUDED). 6. One 2-dram vial (Caps EXCLUDED). 7. Glass stirring rod 8. 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.

Organic Chemistry II | Lecture | Laboratory Organic Chemistry Laboratory II Preparation of Triphenylmethanol (Grignard Reaction) Experiment Procedure (Printable pdf format) Introduction In this two-week experiment, triphenylmethanol will be synthesized through a Grignard reaction. Students will work individually to prepare the Grignard reagent by reacting bromobenzene with solid magnesium in diethylether. The prepared Grignard reagent, phenylmagnesium bromide, will then be combined with bezophenone to form the desired triphenylmethanol product. Procedure NOTE: All glassware must be extremely dry! Place glassware in the drying oven for at least 10 minutes before beginning the reaction. Preparation of the Grignard Reagent Add ~0.5g of magnesium turnings and a magnetic stir bar to a dry 100 ml round-bottomed flask, and place the flask in the drying oven for 30 minutes. Remove the flask from the oven, clamp it to a ring stand, insert a reflux condenser, fit the flask into a heating mantle and immediately attach a drying tube to the top of the reflux condenser. Position the flask in the heating mantle on a stirrer/hotplate. Set the reaction up on the side of the hood near to the faucet labeled for distillation. Allow the reaction flask to cool to room temperature completely before proceeding. While the flask is cooling, place a 150ml beaker into the drying oven. While the flask is cooling, add 3.5 g of dry bromobenzene to a dry 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask and dissolve it in 5.0 mL of anhydrous diethyl ether. Use a glass powder funnel to dispense the bromobenze and ether to the Erlenmyer flask.

  • Working with Hazardous Chemicals
    A Publication of Reliable Methods for the Preparation of Organic Compounds Working with Hazardous Chemicals The procedures in Organic Syntheses are intended for use only by persons with proper training in experimental organic chemistry. All hazardous materials should be handled using the standard procedures for work with chemicals described in references such as "Prudent Practices in the Laboratory" (The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., 2011; the full text can be accessed free of charge at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12654). All chemical waste should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. For general guidelines for the management of chemical waste, see Chapter 8 of Prudent Practices. In some articles in Organic Syntheses, chemical-specific hazards are highlighted in red “Caution Notes” within a procedure. It is important to recognize that the absence of a caution note does not imply that no significant hazards are associated with the chemicals involved in that procedure. Prior to performing a reaction, a thorough risk assessment should be carried out that includes a review of the potential hazards associated with each chemical and experimental operation on the scale that is planned for the procedure. Guidelines for carrying out a risk assessment and for analyzing the hazards associated with chemicals can be found in Chapter 4 of Prudent Practices. The procedures described in Organic Syntheses are provided as published and are conducted at one's own risk.
