The previous two installments, nucleophilic addition and nucleophilic substitution at the carbonyl group, describe the formation of new bonds to the carbonyl carbon of aldehydes, ketones, and the carboxylic acid family. Chapters 7 and 8 discuss the nature of the substituents bonded to the carbonyl carbon and how they determine whether a substitution or an addition reaction takes place. This chapter presents the study of aliphatic nucleophilic substitution reactions at sp3 hybridized carbon atoms. The outcome of www.ochem4free.com 5 July 2005 Organic Chemistry - Ch 12 581 Daley & Daley aliphatic nucleophilic substitution reactions depends on such variables as nucleophilicity, stereochemistry, the reaction medium, and the intermediate's stability. Aliphatic nucleophilic substitution reactions have two, often competing, reaction mechanisms. These two mechanisms account for a large variety of reactions in organic chemistry. Although the two mechanisms are different, they both have a nucleophile, a leaving group, and a substrate; and all three play an important part in the outcome of each reaction. An understanding of the characteristics of these two mechanisms gives you a broader understanding of organic chemistry. What you learn about these two mechanisms will help you later with further organic syntheses and mechanisms. Through their work with aliphatic nucleophilic substitutions, chemists have perhaps learned more about organic reaction mechanisms than through their study of any other reaction type. However, these gains did not come easily. From the early years of the twentieth century until the 1970s, the debate raged over the issues surrounding aliphatic nucleophilic substitution. This debate included such things as experimental results that various investigators interpreted in opposite ways and experimental results that all agreed seemed mutually incompatible. Fortunately, most of these questions are now resolved. 12.1 Naming Single Bonded Heteroatom Functional Groups This section covers the nomenclature of compounds that contain a singly bonded oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen; that is, alcohols, ethers, phenols, thiols, thioethers (or sulfides), disulfides, and amines. Each of these functional groups replaces a hydrogen on the carbon skeleton of the organic compound. Each functional group also changes the suffix of the parent name in a way characteristic of that group. The parent compound, in most cases, includes the carbon in the main chain that bears the functional group. Alcohols replace a hydrogen on the parent carbon chain with an —OH group. The suffix for an alcohol is –ol in the IUPAC nomenclature. When naming an alcohol, follow these steps. Step 1 Determine the parent chain. Step 2 Drop the final –e of the parent hydrocarbon name and add the –ol ending. Step 3 To number substituents, number the carbon chain to give the carbon bearing the —OH group the lowest possible number. www.ochem4free.com 5 July 2005 Organic Chemistry - Ch 12 582 Daley & Daley OH CH3OH CH3CH2OH CH3CH2CHCH3 Methanol Ethanol 2-Butanol OH OH CH3 2-Methylcyclohexanol 3-Methyl-2-butanol Frequently, chemists call the —OH group a hydroxy group and compounds that contain two or more hydroxy groups polyols.

Alcohols can be classified according to the number of carbon atoms bonded to the carbon that bears the alcohol group. For example, Primary, secondary, ethanol is a primary alcohol because the carbon bearing the hydroxy and tertiary alcohols have one, two, or three group is attached to only one other carbon. 2-Propanol is a secondary alkyl groups attached alcohol because the carbon bearing the —OH group is bonded to two to the carbon bearing other carbons, and 2-methyl-2-propanol is a tertiary alcohol because the —OH group. the —OH bearing carbon is bonded to three other carbons.

To name substituted an —OH group. phenols, number the ring so that the carbon bearing the —OH group is C—1. Because the common name for an alcohol is alkyl alcohol (i.e., ethanol is often called ethyl alcohol) many organic chemistry students are tempted to confuse benzyl alcohols with phenols. Be careful! Phenol nomenclature is complicated by the fact that many phenols have common names that are more widely used than the IUPAC names. For example, 2-methylphenol is known as o-cresol, 3- methylphenol is known as m-cresol and 4-methylphenol is known as p- cresol.

A distinction is sometimes made between n, s and p- participation. An increase in rate due to Neighbouring Group Participation (NGP) is known as "anchimeric assistance". "Synartetic acceleration" happens to be the special case of anchimeric assistance and applies to participation by electrons binding a substituent to a carbon atom in a β- position relative to the leaving group attached to the α-carbon atom.

  • Reaction Kinetics in Organic Reactions
    Autumn 2004 Reaction Kinetics in Organic Reactions Why are kinetic analyses important? • Consider two classic examples in asymmetric catalysis: geraniol epoxidation 5-10% Ti(O-i-C3H7)4 O DET OH * * OH + TBHP CH2Cl2 3A mol sieve OH COOH5C2 L-(+)-DET = OH COOH5C2 * OH geraniol hydrogenation OH 0.1% Ru(II)-BINAP + H2 CH3OH P(C6H5)2 (S)-BINAP = P(C6 H5)2 • In both cases, high enantioselectivities may be achieved. However, there are fundamental differences between these two reactions which kinetics can inform us about. 1 Autumn 2004 Kinetics of Asymmetric Catalytic Reactions geraniol epoxidation: • enantioselectivity is controlled primarily by the preferred mode of initial binding of the prochiral substrate and, therefore, the relative stability of intermediate species. The transition state resembles the intermediate species. Finn and Sharpless in Asymmetric Synthesis, Morrison, J.D., ed., Academic Press: New York, 1986, v. 5, p. 247. geraniol hydrogenation: • enantioselectivity may be dictated by the relative reactivity rather than the stability of the intermediate species. The transition state may not resemble the intermediate species. for example, hydrogenation of enamides using Rh+(dipamp) studied by Landis and Halpern (JACS, 1987, 109,1746) 2 Autumn 2004 Kinetics of Asymmetric Catalytic Reactions “Asymmetric catalysis is four-dimensional chemistry. Simple stereochemical scrutiny of the substrate or reagent is not enough. The high efficiency that these reactions provide can only be achieved through a combination of both an ideal three-dimensional structure (x,y,z) and suitable kinetics (t).” R.

NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION Mechanism of Aliphatic Nucleophilic Substitution. Aliphatic nucleophilic substitution clearly involves the donation of a lone pair from the nucleophile to the tetrahedral, electrophilic carbon bonded to a halogen. For that reason, it attracts to nucleophile In organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry, nucleophilic substitution is a fundamental class of reactions in which a leaving group(nucleophile) is replaced by an electron rich compound(nucleophile). The whole molecular entity of which the electrophile and the leaving group are part is usually called the substrate. The nucleophile essentially attempts to replace the leaving group as the primary substituent in the reaction itself, as a part of another molecule. The most general form of the reaction may be given as the following: Nuc: + R-LG → R-Nuc + LG: The electron pair (:) from the nucleophile(Nuc) attacks the substrate (R-LG) forming a new 1 bond, while the leaving group (LG) departs with an electron pair. The principal product in this case is R-Nuc. The nucleophile may be electrically neutral or negatively charged, whereas the substrate is typically neutral or positively charged.

  • 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.

  • SUBSTITUTION and ELIMINATION REACTIONS Nucleophilic Substitution at Sp3 Carbon Substitution Is the Replacement of One Group by Another
    SUBSTITUTION AND ELIMINATION REACTIONS Nucleophilic Substitution at sp3 Carbon Substitution is the replacement of one group by another. The conversion of an alkyl halide into an alcohol is one of the most widely studied substitution reactions. _ _ OH R-X R-OH + X + OH- is called nucleophile and X- is called leaving group. A nucleophile is a reagent that brings an electron pair. Kinetic measurements on the reactions of alkyl halides with a number of different nucleophile show two extreme types. In the one type, Rate = k1[R-X] (1) And in the second type Rate = k2[R-X][Nu:] (2) In some cases the rate equations are found to be mixed or are complicated due to other reasons. Mechanisms The most common mechanisms of substitution reactions are SN1 and SN2 mechanisms. SN1 mechanism follows rate equation (1), i.e. first order kinetics while SN2 mechanism follows rate equation (2), i.e. second order kinetics. The SN2 Mechanism SN2 stands for substitution nucleophilic bimolecular. In this mechanism the nucleophile approaches the substrate from a position 180º away from the leaving group (backside attack). The reaction is a one step process with no intermediate. _ _ Y + C X Y C X Y C + X The C-Y bond is formed as the C-X bond is broken. The energy required to break the C-X bond is supplied by the simultaneous formation of the C-Y bond. During the formation of the transition state the hybridization of the carbon atom changes from sp3 to sp2 with an approximately perpendicular p-orbital.

Abstract The most common view of carbocations in organic chemistry is that they are short-lived intermediates in several fundamental reactions, e.g. the classic SN1-reaction. However, carbocations that can delocalize their positive charge can be stable enough to be isolated and used as Lewis acid catalysts, phase transfer catalysts or oxidants in various reactions. The theme of this thesis concerns applying trityl cations as Lewis acid catalysts in different organic reactions. The first chapter presents a general introduction of the field of Lewis acids, the characteristics and applications of carbocations in different organic reactions, and the aims of this thesis. The second chapter describes the carbocation-catalyzed asymmetric Diels– Alder reactions assisted by chiral counteranions. The third chapter shows that carbocations can be utilized as catalysts in oxa-Diels–Alder reactions with unactivated aldehydes and dienes as substrates. The fourth chapter investigates the application of carbocation catalysis in bromination reactions for selective functionalization at the benzylic position and on the aromatic ring, respectively.

    MSc(Chem) 1st Sem Dr Sanjeev Kumar Jha M.L.T. College, Saharsa Reaction Mechanism: Structure and reactivity Types of reactions:-- 1.Addition reaction An addition reaction , is simply termed as a reaction where two or more molecules combine to form a larger one (the adduct). Addition reactions are limited to chemical compounds that have multiple bonds, such as molecules with carbon–carbon double bonds (alkenes), or with triple bonds (alkynes), and compounds that have rings, which are also considered points of unsaturation. Molecules containing carbon— hetero double bonds like carbonyl (C=O) groups, or imine (C=N) groups, can undergo addition, as they too have double-bond character. An addition reaction is the reverse of an elimination reaction. For instance, the hydration of an alkene to an alcohol is reversed by dehydration. There are two main types of polar addition reactions: electrophilic addition and nucleophilic addition. Two non-polar addition reactions exist as well, called free-radical addition and cycloadditions. Addition reactions are also encountered in polymerizations and called addition polymerization. 1 General overview of addition reactions. Top to bottom: electrophilic addition to alkene, nucleophilic addition of nucleophile to carbonyl and free-radical addition of halide to alkene. 2.Elimination reaction An elimination reaction is a type of reaction in which two substituents are removed from a molecule in either a one or two-step mechanism. The one- step mechanism is known as the E2 reaction, and the two-step mechanism is known as the E1 reaction. The numbers refer not to the number of steps in the mechanism, but rather to the kinetics of the reaction: E2 is bimolecular (second-order) while E1 is unimolecular (first-order).
