  • Using Carbon Dioxide As a Building Block in Organic Synthesis
    REVIEW Received 10 Jul 2014 | Accepted 21 Nov 2014 | Published 20 Jan 2015 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms6933 Using carbon dioxide as a building block in organic synthesis Qiang Liu1, Lipeng Wu1, Ralf Jackstell1 & Matthias Beller1 Carbon dioxide exits in the atmosphere and is produced by the combustion of fossil fuels, the fermentation of sugars and the respiration of all living organisms. An active goal in organic synthesis is to take this carbon—trapped in a waste product—and re-use it to build useful chemicals. Recent advances in organometallic chemistry and catalysis provide effective means for the chemical transformation of CO2 and its incorporation into synthetic organic molecules under mild conditions. Such a use of carbon dioxide as a renewable one-carbon (C1) building block in organic synthesis could contribute to a more sustainable use of resources. more sensible resource management is the prerequisite for the sustainable development of future generations. However, when dealing with the feedstock of the chemical Aindustry, the level of sustainability is still far from satisfactory. Until now, the vast majority of carbon resources are based on crude oil, natural gas and coal. In addition to biomass, CO2 offers the possibility to create a renewable carbon economy. Since pre-industrial times, the amount of CO2 has steadily increased and nowadays CO2 is a component of greenhouse gases, which are primarily responsible for the rise in atmospheric temperature and probably abnormal changes in the global climate. This increase in CO2 concentration is largely due to the combustion of fossil fuels, which are required to meet the world’s energy demand1.

  • Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just Like an Alkene, Benzene Has Clouds of  Electrons Above and Below Its Sigma Bond Framework
    Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just like an alkene, benzene has clouds of electrons above and below its sigma bond framework. Although the electrons are in a stable aromatic system, they are still available for reaction with strong electrophiles. This generates a carbocation which is resonance stabilized (but not aromatic). This cation is called a sigma complex because the electrophile is joined to the benzene ring through a new sigma bond. The sigma complex (also called an arenium ion) is not aromatic since it contains an sp3 carbon (which disrupts the required loop of p orbitals). Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page1 The loss of aromaticity required to form the sigma complex explains the highly endothermic nature of the first step. (That is why we require strong electrophiles for reaction). The sigma complex wishes to regain its aromaticity, and it may do so by either a reversal of the first step (i.e. regenerate the starting material) or by loss of the proton on the sp3 carbon (leading to a substitution product). When a reaction proceeds this way, it is electrophilic aromatic substitution. There are a wide variety of electrophiles that can be introduced into a benzene ring in this way, and so electrophilic aromatic substitution is a very important method for the synthesis of substituted aromatic compounds. Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page2 Bromination of Benzene Bromination follows the same general mechanism for the electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS). Bromine itself is not electrophilic enough to react with benzene. But the addition of a strong Lewis acid (electron pair acceptor), such as FeBr3, catalyses the reaction, and leads to the substitution product.

(b) The chemical shift of the benzene protons is at considerably greater chemical shift because benzene is aromatic and 1,4-cyclohexadiene is not. 16.6 (b) Among other features, the NMR spectrum of 1-bromo-4-ethylbenzene has a typical ethyl quartet and a typical para-substitution pattern for the ring protons, as shown in Fig. 16.3, text p. 747, whereas the spectrum of (2- bromoethyl)benzene should show a pair of triplets for the methylene protons and a complex pattern for the ring protons. If this isn’t enough to distinguish the two compounds, the integral of the ring protons relative to the integral of the remaining protons is different in the two compounds. 16.7 (b) The IR spectrum indicates the presence of an OH group, and the chemical shift of the broad NMR resonance (d 6.0) suggests that this could be a phenol. The splitting patterns of the d 1.17 and d 2.58 resonances show that the compound also contains an ethyl group, and the splitting pattern of the ring protons shows that the compound is a para-disubstituted benzene derivative.

  • Reactions of Alkenes Since  Bonds Are Stronger Than  Bonds, Double Bonds Tend to React to Convert the Double Bond Into  Bonds
    Reactions of Alkenes Since bonds are stronger than bonds, double bonds tend to react to convert the double bond into bonds This is an addition reaction. (Other types of reaction have been substitution and elimination). Addition reactions are typically exothermic. Electrophilic Addition The bond is localized above and below the C-C bond. The electrons are relatively far away from the nuclei and are therefore loosely bound. An electrophile will attract those electrons, and can pull them away to form a new bond. This leaves one carbon with only 3 bonds and a +ve charge (carbocation). The double bond acts as a nucleophile (attacks the electrophile). Ch08 Reacns of Alkenes (landscape) Page 1 In most cases, the cation produced will react with another nucleophile to produce the final overall electrophilic addition product. Electrophilic addition is probably the most common reaction of alkenes. Consider the electrophilic addition of H-Br to but-2-ene: The alkene abstracts a proton from the HBr, and a carbocation and bromide ion are generated. The bromide ion quickly attacks the cationic center and yields the final product. In the final product, H-Br has been added across the double bond. Ch08 Reacns of Alkenes (landscape) Page 2 Orientation of Addition Consider the addition of H-Br to 2-methylbut-2-ene: There are two possible products arising from the two different ways of adding H-Br across the double bond. But only one is observed. The observed product is the one resulting from the more stable carbocation intermediate. Tertiary carbocations are more stable than secondary.

  • Electrophilic Addition Reactions.Pdf
    Electrophilic Addition Reactions Electrophilic addition reactions are an important class of reactions that allow the interconversion of C=C and C≡C into a range of important functional groups. Conceptually, addition is the reverse of elimination What does the term "electrophilic addition" imply ? A electrophile, E+, is an electron poor species that will react with an electron rich species (the C=C) An addition implies that two systems combine to a single entity. Depending on the relative timing of these events, slightly different mechanisms are possible: • Reaction of the C=C with E+ to give a carbocation (or another cationic intermediate) that then reacts with a Nu- • Simultaneous formation of the two σ bonds The following pointers may aid your understanding of these reactions: • Recognise the electrophile present in the reagent combination • The electrophile adds first to the alkene, dictating the regioselectivity. • If the reaction proceeds via a planar carbocation, the reaction is not stereoselective • If the two new σ bonds form at the same time from the same species, then syn addition is observed • If the two new σ bonds form at different times from different species, then anti addition is observed Hydrogenation of Alkenes Reaction Type: Electrophilic Addition Summary • Alkenes can be reduced to alkanes with H2 in the presence of metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, Ni or Rh. • The two new C-H σ bonds are formed simultaneously from H atoms absorbed into the metal surface. • The reaction is stereospecific giving only the syn addition product. • This reaction forms the basis of experimental "heats of hydrogenation" which can be used to establish the stability of isomeric alkenes.

(reactions rely on molecular collisions) H H Consider: HO C _ _ C Br Br HO H H H H At a given temperature: If [OH-] is doubled, then the reaction rate may be doubled If [CH3-Br] is doubled, then the reaction rate may be doubled A linear dependence of rate on the concentration of two reactants is called a second-order reaction (molecularity) 2 H H HO C _ _ C Br Br HO H H H H Reaction rates (kinetic) can be expressed mathematically: reaction rate = disappearance of reactants (or appearance of products) For the disappearance of reactants: - rate = k [CH3Br] [OH ] [CH3Br] = CH3Br concentration [OH-] = OH- concentration k= constant (rate constant) L mol•sec For the reaction above, product formation involves a collision between both reactants, thus the rate of the reaction is dependent upon the concentration of both.
