CONVERSION OF ALKYNES INTO 14.5 ALDEHYDES AND KETONES A. Hydration of Alkynes Water can be added to the triple bond. Although the reaction can be catalyzed by a strong acid, it is faster, and yields are higher, when a combination of dilute acid and mercuric ion (Hg2ϩ) catalysts is used.

The hydration of alkynes gives ketones (except in the case of acetylene itself, which gives an aldehyde; see Study Problem 14.1, p. 656). Let’s contrast the hydration reactions of alkenes (Sec. 4.9B) and alkynes. The hydration of an alkene gives an alcohol. H2SO4 R CH CH2 + H2O R CH CH3 (14.5a) an alkene OH an alcohol Because addition reactions of alkenes and alkynes are closely analogous, it might seem that an alcohol should also be obtained from the hydration of an alkyne: OH 2 H2SO4, Hg | RCC' H H2O R "C A CH2 (14.5b) LLan alkyne + Lan enol An alcohol containing an OH group on a carbon of a double bond is called an enol (pronounced en´-ôl).¯ In fact, enols are formed in the hydration of alkynes. However, most enols cannot be isolated because most enols are unstable and are rapidly converted into the corresponding aldehydes or ketones.

The relationship among aldehydes, ketones, and enols is explored in Chapter 22. The impor- tant point here is that, because most enols are unstable, if an enol is formed as the product of a reaction, it is rapidly converted into the corresponding aldehyde or ketone. The mechanism of alkyne hydration is very similar to that of the oxymercuration of alkenes (Sec. 5.4A). In the first part of the mechanism, mercuric ion reacts as an electrophile with the p electrons of the triple bond to form a carbocation, which could be in equilibrium with a cyclic mercurinium ion: R C CH R C CH R C CH (14.6a) 2 .. 2 Hg.. Hg Hg The carbocation is formed at the carbon of the triple bond that bears the alkyl substituent. (Re- call that alkyl substitution stabilizes carbocations; Sec. 4.7C.) This carbocation reacts with water, and loss of a proton to solvent water gives the addition product. As a result, the oxygen from water ends up on the carbon with the alkyl substituent.

However, the use of NaBH4 is unnecessary in the hydration of alkynes. The reason is that the presence of a double bond makes possible removal of the mercury by a protonolysis reaction. This protonolysis occurs under the conditions of hydration; a separate procedure is not required. The first step in the mechanism of this protonolysis reaction is pro- tonation of the double bond. This protonation occurs at the carbon bearing the mercury be- cause the resulting carbocation is resonance-stabilized. | OH H OH2 OH |OH 3 2 L 3 2 S2 R" CA CH2 R" C CH2 RCCH2 OH2 (14.6c) L LL| LL + 3 2 Hg" | Hg" | Hg" | a resonance-stabilized carbocation (Recall that formation of a resonance-stabilized carbocation also explains the position of pro- tonation in HBr addition; Eq. 14.3b, p. 653.)

This point is explored in Study Problem 14.1. Study Problem 14.1 Which one of the following compounds could be prepared by the hydration of alkynes so that it is uncontaminated by constitutional isomers? Explain your answer. (a) O (b) O S CH3CH CH3CH2CCH2CH3 acetaldehyde 3-pentanone Solution First, what alkyne starting materials, if any, would give the desired products? The equations in the text show that the two carbons of the triple bond in the starting material corre- spond within the product to the carbon of the CAO group and an adjacent carbon. Thus, for part (a), the only possible alkyne starting material is acetylene itself, HC'CH. For part (b), the only possible alkyne starting material is 2-pentyne, CH3C'CCH2CH3. Next, it remains to be shown whether hydration of these alkynes gives only the products in the problem. Remember, a good synthesis gives relatively pure compounds. The hydration of acetylene indeed gives only acetaldehyde. (In fact, acetaldehyde is the only aldehyde that can be prepared by the hydration of an alkyne.) However, hydration of 2-pentyne gives a mixture consisting of compa- rable amounts of 2-pentanone and 3-pentanone, because the carbons of 2-pentyne both have one alkyl substituent. Thus, there is no reason that the reaction of water at either carbon should be strongly favored.

Consequently, hydration would not be a good way to prepare 3-pentanone. (However, 2-pentanone could be prepared by hydration of a different alkyne; see Problem 14.9a).

ABSTRACT The click cycloaddition reaction of azides and alkynes affording 1,2,3-triazoles is a transformation widely used to obtain relevant products in chemical biology, medicinal chemistry, materials science and other fields. In this work, a set of Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADESs) as “active” reaction media has been investigated in the copper-catalysed azide–alkyne cycloaddition reactions (CuAAc). The use of these green liquids as green and catalytic solvents has shown to improve the reaction effectiveness, giving excellent yields. The NADESs proved to be “active” in this transformation for the absence of added bases in all the performed reactions and in several cases for their reducing capabilities. The results were rationalized by DFT calculations which demonstrated the involvement of H-bonds between DESs and alkynes as well as a stabilization of copper catalytic intermediates.

Petronijevic,́† Manuel Nappi,† and David W. C. MacMillan* Merck Center for Catalysis at Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: The direct β-coupling of cyclic ketones with aryl ketones has been achieved via the synergistic combination of photoredox catalysis and organocatalysis. Diaryl oxymethyl or aryl−alkyl oxymethyl radicals, transiently generated via single-electron reduction of ketone precursors, readily merge with β-enaminyl radical species, generated by photon-induced enamine oxidation, to produce γ-hydroxyketone adducts. Experimental evidence indicates that two discrete reaction pathways can be operable in this process depending upon the nature of the ketyl radical precursor and the photocatalyst. he direct β-functionalization of saturated ketones and T aldehydes is an important yet elusive goal in organic chemistry.1 While carbonyl groups are readily amenable to ipso- and α-carbon substitution with a range of nucleophiles and electrophiles respectively,2,3 activation at the β-methylene position poses a significant synthetic challenge.

  • Complexes for Click Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition Reactions
    Well-defined Copper(I) Complexes for Click Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition Reactions: One Click Beyond Silvia Díez-González* Department of Chemistry, Imperial College London Exhibition Road, South Kensington, SW7 2AZ London (UK) [email protected] Abstract: The discovery of copper(I) species as excellent catalysts for the regioselective cycloaddition reactions of azides and alkynes served as proof-of-concept of the importance of Click chemistry and opened a broad field of research that has found numerous ramifications in biochemistry, materials and medicinal science, for instance. The use of ligands in this context not only serves to stabilize the oxidation state of copper, but has also been shown to increase and modulate its reactivity. Still, efforts focused on developing more efficient catalytic systems for this transformation remain limited. Herein, the catalytic activities of ligated copper systems are reviewed in a way intended inspirational for further developments. 1. Introduction Transition metal catalysis is one of the most powerful tools available to chemists for the development of cleaner and more sustainable processes. Although simple metal salts can mediate a number of transformations, it was the use of ligands that catapulted organometallic catalysis to its present leading status. In particular, the use of well-defined complexes allows for a better control of the nature of the species present in the reaction media and generally avoids the need for excess of ligand and/or reagents for achieving optimal catalytic performance. These two points are crucial in the continuous quest of molecular chemistry for more efficient and less contaminating processes capable of providing diverse and complex architectures.

  • Chapter 14 – Aldehydes and Ketones
    Chapter 14 – Aldehydes and Ketones 14.1 Structures and Physical Properties of Aldehydes and Ketones Ketones and aldehydes are related in that they each possess a C=O (carbonyl) group. They differ in that the carbonyl carbon in ketones is bound to two carbon atoms (RCOR’), while that in aldehydes is bound to at least one hydrogen (H2CO and RCHO). Thus aldehydes always place the carbonyl group on a terminal (end) carbon, while the carbonyl group in ketones is always internal. Some common examples include (common name in parentheses): O O H HH methanal (formaldehyde) trans-3-phenyl-2-propenal (cinnamaldehyde) preservative oil of cinnamon O O propanone (acetone) 3-methylcyclopentadecanone (muscone) nail polish remover a component of one type of musk oil Simple aldehydes (e.g. formaldehyde) typically have an unpleasant, irritating odor. Aldehydes adjacent to a string of double bonds (e.g. 3-phenyl-2-propenal) frequently have pleasant odors. Other examples include the primary flavoring agents in oil of bitter almond (Ph- CHO) and vanilla (C6H3(OH)(OCH3)(CHO)). As your book says, simple ketones have distinctive odors (similar to acetone) that are typically not unpleasant in low doses. Like aldehydes, placing a collection of double bonds adjacent to a ketone carbonyl generally makes the substance more fragrant. The primary flavoring agent in oil of caraway is just a such a ketone. 2 O oil of carraway Because the C=O group is polar, small aldehydes and ketones enjoy significant water solubility. They are also quite soluble in typical organic solvents. 14.2 Naming Aldehydes and Ketones Aldehydes The IUPAC names for aldehydes are obtained by using rules similar to those we’ve seen for other functional groups (e.g.

What is the degree of unsaturation for this compound? Answer: We can arrive at the degree of unsaturation for a structure in two ways. Since we know that the degree of unsaturation is the number of rings and/or multiple bonds in a compound, we can simply count them. There are three double bonds (3 degrees) and three triple bonds (six degrees), so the degree of unsaturation is 9. We can verify this by using the molecular formula, C13H10, to calculate a degree of unsaturation. The saturated 13-carbon compound should have the base formula C13H28, so (28 - 10) ÷ 2 = 18 ÷ 2 = 9. 9. Assign E or Z configuration to each of the double bonds in the compound.

  • Lecture 6 the Crossed Aldol Reaction and Its Many Variants
    Lecture 6 The Crossed Aldol Reaction and its Many Variants Objectives: By the end of this lecture you will be able to: 1. make an appropriate choice of base to completely enolise carbonyl compounds; 2. use enolates in a crossed aldol reaction; 3. recognise the aldol functional group motif, and its variants, in complex molecules; 4. use the aldol disconnection to simplify a retrosynthetic analysis; 5. use the Reformatski and Mukaiyama aldol reactions in synthesis; 6. draw arrow-pushing mechanisms for all the aldol reactions discussed in this lecture. Introduction We have seen how choosing a base (B-) whose conjugate acid (B−H) is a much poorer acid − i.e. has a much higher pKa − than the proton we wish to abstract, ensures effectively complete deprotonation of the α-C−H of a carbonyl compound to provide the corresponding enolate. By completely enolising the carbonyl group, we can suppress self-condensation aldol processes, and instead use a different electrophile such as an aldehyde to form a β-hydroxy carbonyl compound. This reaction sequence is identical in basic mechanism to the intramolecular aldol processes that we discussed in previous lectures. It is now described as a crossed aldol condensation because the electrophile is a different carbonyl compound to the one that was used to form the nucleophilic enolate. This reaction, and its many variants, provides one of the most important methods for preparing C−C bonds. Pattern Recognition The aldol reaction and its many variants are very useful reactions in synthesis. You need to be able to identify the patterns or functional group motifs where this type of bond-forming process can be used.
