Learning Outcomes After studying this module, you shall be able to • Know what are cycloaddition reactions • Learn mechanism of cycloaddition reactions • Identify factors influencing Diels Alder reaction • Evaluate mechanism of 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition • Analyze stereochemistry of product formation in cycloaddition reactions 2. Introduction Cycloaddition reaction is a reaction in which two reactants form a cyclic product. Cycloaddition of two different, π bond-containing molecules to form a cyclic compound are a special class of pericyclic reactions. For cycloaddition reaction, each of the reactants loses a π bond, and the resulting cyclic product has two new σ bonds. With a few exceptions, cycloaddition are concerted reactions. As a class of addition reactions, cycloaddition allows carbon-carbon bond formation without the use of a nucleophile or electrophile. Among the pericyclic reactions, cycloaddition are most abundant and useful set of reactions. Following is an example of [4+2] cycloaddition known as Diels-Alder reaction. + Diene Dienophile Adduct 3. Stereochemistry and Woodward-Hoffmann rules for cycloaddition Cycloaddition reactions involve bond formation at the ends of both the reacting molecules i.e diene and dienophile. This requires proper orientation of orbitals so that effective overlap may give rise to product formation. For the Diels Alder reaction between butadiene and ethene, the p- orbitals must therefore approach each other head on. Of note is the fact that the two new bonds forming at C-1 and C-4 of the diene are being formed at the bottom surface of the conjugated system. CHEMISTRY PAPER No.9: Organic Chemistry-III MODULE No.30 : Cycloaddition ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 1 3 4 1' 2' Reactions where the new bonds being formed are on the same surface are called suprafacial on that component. Since for the dienophile also the new bonds are being formed at the same surface so the reaction is suprafacial on both the diene and the dienophile as well. On the other hand antarafacial reaction requires bond formation between orbitals at two different surfaces. Diagrammatically this is depicted below. 2 1 2 1 1' 1' 3 3 Suprafacial components 4 2' 2' 4 2 1 2 1 1' 1' 3 3 Antarafacial components 4 2' 4 2' Orbitals overlap required for 4+2 cycloaddition The Woodward-Hoffmann rules for cycloaddition predict feasibility of reaction and stereochemistry of product formed. Both, supra/supra and supra/antara combinations are allowed based on orbital symmetry however the geometric constrain associated with antara process makes it impossible for the reaction to take place. Therefore, almost all pericyclic cycloaddition reactions go by suprafacial mode on both the components. That is, if the diene with substituents at each end forms new bonds to one surface, the product will have a preserved stereochemistry. In the following example the trans, trans diene and diethyl acetylene dicarboxylate give the adduct which has cis phenyl substituents on the cyclohexane ring.

Such reactions where, one stereoisomer gives rise to only one stereoisomeric product are called stereospecific in nature. This is among the most important features of Diels-Alder reaction, as the reaction involves creation of four new stereocentres with stereospecificity. In Diels Alder reaction when a conjugated system carries a substituent Z, then during the reaction, it may orient itself pointing away from the conjugated system of the other component or it may sit under it. The first situation is called exo mode of attack and the second one endo mode of attack. In the endo conformation, there might be repulsion between the substituent Z and the p- orbitals, however for Diels-Alder reactions such endo mode of attack has been experimentally observed. CHEMISTRY PAPER No.9: Organic Chemistry-III MODULE No.30 : Cycloaddition ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ The most widely accepted explanation for the origin of Endo mode of attack is a favorable interaction between the dienophile substituent's π system and the diene's though dipolar and van der Waals attractions which are collectively called as secondary orbital effects. 4. Classes of cycloaddition reactions Now let us look at the important classes of pericyclic cycloaddition reactions. 4.1 Diels-Alder reaction 4.2 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition 4.3 [4+2] cycloaddition of cations and anions 4.4 [2+2] addition of ketenes 4.1 Diels-Alder reaction The most important type of cycloaddition reactions are Diels-Alder reactions. It is defined as the cycloaddition between a conjugated diene and a dienophile [4+2] leading to formation of a cyclic product. Like other pericyclic reactions, Diels-Alder reactions are concerted and stereospecific, i.e. stereochemical information in the reactants is retained in the products. The dienophiles which are in configuration E- and Z, results in adducts which has stereochemistry Syn or anti respectively. The reaction is slow for unsubstituted dienophiles and rate of reaction is enhanced by attaching suitable electron withdrawing substituents (carbonyl, nitrile and nitro) at the terminal alkenes. Substitution on the diene also enhances rate of reaction, provided the substituents are electron donating (methyl, alkoxy and amine). Following are examples of some reactions, where due to change in nature of the dienophile, there were drastic changes in the rate of reaction. CHEMISTRY PAPER No.9: Organic Chemistry-III MODULE No.30 : Cycloaddition ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 150 °C, 10 days + 85 % O O 190 °C, 72h + 71 % O O N N + -50 °C, 0.5h N Ph N Ph 61 % N N O O For the dienes along with electron donating substituents, cyclization also greatly enhances the rate of cycloaddition reactions, owning to proper geometric orientation of double bonds. This is because a diene can participate in Diels Alder reaction only when it is in the s-cis conformation. If it were to react in the s-trans conformation then the resulting cyclohexene would have a trans double bond in the cyclohexene system which is very high energy. The regioselectivity of Diels Alder reaction depends on the number and nature of substituent on diene and dienophile along with the reaction conditions such as catalyst, temperature, pressure, solvent etc. Generally 1- and 2- substituted butadienes reacts with mono-substituted dienophiles to give mainly ortho and para adducts, respectively. Even with a small substituent such as methyl the degree of regioselectivity is high. The important feature of this pattern is the fact that whether a substituent is electron withdrawing or donating, it holds good for almost all combinations.

In some cases Lewis acid catalysis has also been shown to enable Diels-Alder reactions to proceed at low temperatures, i.e. without thermal activation. Hetero Diels-Alder reactions are also known, where at least one of the reactant (diene or dienophile) has a hetero atom (such as N, O, S) taking part in the cycloaddition reaction.

Truong Henry Eyring Center for Theoretical Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, UniVersity of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112 ReceiVed: March 25, 1998; In Final Form: July 17, 1998 The effects of aqueous solvent on structures and mechanism of the [2 + 2] cycloaddition between ketene and imine were investigated by using correlated MP2 and MP4 levels of ab initio molecular orbital theory in conjunction with the dielectric continuum Generalized Conductor-like Screening Model (GCOSMO) for solvation. We found that reactions in the gas phase and in aqueous solution have very different topology on the free energy surfaces but have similar characteristic motion along the reaction coordinate. First, it involves formation of a planar trans-conformation zwitterionic complex, then a rotation of the two moieties to form the cycloaddition product. Aqueous solvent significantly stabilizes the zwitterionic complex, consequently changing the topology of the free energy surface from a gas-phase single barrier (one-step) process to a double barrier (two-step) one with a stable intermediate. Electrostatic solvent-solute interaction was found to be the dominant factor in lowering the activation energy by 4.5 kcal/mol. The present calculated results are consistent with previous experimental data.

  • Aromatic Substitution Reactions: an Overview
    Review Article Published: 03 Feb, 2020 SF Journal of Pharmaceutical and Analytical Chemistry Aromatic Substitution Reactions: An Overview Kapoor Y1 and Kumar K1,2* 1School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Apeejay Stya University, Sohna-Palwal Road, Sohna, Gurgaon, Haryana, India 2School of Pharmacy and Technology Management, SVKM’s NMIMS University, Hyderabad, Telangana, India Abstract The introduction or replacement of substituent’s on aromatic rings by substitution reactions is one of the most fundamental transformations in organic chemistry. On the basis of the reaction mechanism, these substitution reactions can be divided into electrophilic, nucleophilic, radical, and transition metal catalyzed. This article also focuses on electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution mechanisms. Introduction The replacement of an atom, generally hydrogen, or a group attached to the carbon from the benzene ring by another group is known as aromatic substitution. The regioselectivity of these reactions depends upon the nature of the existing substituent and can be ortho, Meta or Para selective. Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution (EAS) reactions are important for synthetic purposes and are also among the most thoroughly studied classes of organic reactions from a mechanistic point of view. A wide variety of electrophiles can effect aromatic substitution. Usually, it is a substitution of some other group for hydrogen that is of interest, but this is not always the case. For example, both silicon and mercury substituent’s can be replaced by electrophiles. The reactivity of a particular electrophile determines which aromatic compounds can be successfully substituted. Despite the wide range of electrophilic species and aromatic ring systems that can undergo substitution, a single broad mechanistic picture encompasses most EAS reactions.

  • Highly Accelerated Inverse Electron-Demand Cycloaddition of Electron-Deficient Azides with Aliphatic Cyclooctynes
    ARTICLE Received 22 Jul 2014 | Accepted 25 Sep 2014 | Published 10 Nov 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms6378 Highly accelerated inverse electron-demand cycloaddition of electron-deficient azides with aliphatic cyclooctynes Jan Dommerholt1, Olivia van Rooijen2, Annika Borrmann1,Ce´lia Fonseca Guerra2, F. Matthias Bickelhaupt1,2 & Floris L. van Delft1 Strain-promoted azide–alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) as a conjugation tool has found broad application in material sciences, chemical biology and even in vivo use. However, despite tremendous effort, SPAAC remains fairly slow (0.2–0.5 M À 1 s À 1) and efforts to increase reaction rates by tailoring of cyclooctyne structure have suffered from a poor trade-off between cyclooctyne reactivity and stability. We here wish to report tremendous acceleration of strain-promoted cycloaddition of an aliphatic cyclooctyne (bicyclo[6.1.0]non-4-yne, BCN) with electron-deficient aryl azides, with reaction rate constants reaching 2.0–2.9 M À 1 s À 1. A remarkable difference in rate constants of aliphatic cyclooctynes versus benzoannulated cyclooctynes is noted, enabling a next level of orthogonality by a judicious choice of azide– cyclooctyne combinations, which is inter alia applied in one-pot three-component protein labelling. The pivotal role of azide electronegativity is explained by density-functional theory calculations and electronic-structure analyses, which indicates an inverse electron-demand mechanism is operative with an aliphatic cyclooctyne. 1 Institute for Molecules and Materials, Radboud University Nijmegen, Heyendaalseweg 135, 6525 AJ Nijmegen, The Netherlands. 2 Department of Theoretical Chemistry and Amsterdam Center for Multiscale Modeling, VU University Amsterdam, De Boelelaan 1083, 1081 HV Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Engberts* Physical Organic Chemistry Unit, Stratingh Institute, University of Groningen, Nijenborgh 4, 9747 AG Groningen, The Netherlands Received 21 December 2004; revised 7 February 2005; accepted 7 February 2005 ABSTRACT: The kinetics of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of benzonitrile oxide with a series of N-substituted maleimides and with cyclopentene are reported for water, a wide range of organic solvents and binary solvent mixtures. The results indicate the importance of both solvent polarity and specific hydrogen-bond interactions in governing the rates of the reactions. The aforementioned reactions are examples for which these factors often counteract, leading to a complex dependence of rate constants on the nature of the solvent. For the reactions of N- ethylmaleimide and N-n-butylmaleimide with benzonitrile oxide, isobaric activation parameters have been deter- mined in several organic solvents, water, and water–1-propanol mixtures. Interestingly, the activation parameters reveal significant differences in solvation in different solvents that are not clearly reflected in the rate constants. In highly aqueous mixtures, enforced hydrophobic interactions lead to an increase in rate constant, relative to organic solvents. However, the overall rate enhancement in water is modest, if present at all, because the solvent polarity diminishes the rate constant.
