CHEM 345 Problem Set 18 Key 1.) Write the Mechanism for The CHEM 345 Problem Set 18 Key 1.) Write the mechanism for the following reactions. O a.) KCN EtOH O OH racemic 1.) Write the mechanism for the following reactions. b.) KCN AcOH O NC OH racemic O c.) N S R O NEt3 OH racemic 2.) What is the structure of AcOH?Why does changing the solvent from EtOH to AcOH make such a big difference? O OH AcOH acetic acid The pKa of acetic acid is approximately 5. The pKa of ethanol is approximately 15. When you take a proton off of ethanol, you generate ethoxide which is about 1010 times stronger of a base than acetate. 3.) Give two instances when you need to use the thiazolium salt and triethylamine rather than KCN and EtOH. If the aldehydes contain an enolizable proton then you cannot use KCN/EtOH, instead you must use the thiazolium. Also, if the electrophile is a Michael acceptor to give a 1,4 dicarbonyl, then the thiazolium catalyst should be used. 4.) Break the following compound down as far as you can using Aldol, Michael, and Claisen reactions. Above each retrosynthetic arrow, write the name of the reaction. O HO O HO Aldol O Michael HO O O HO O Aldol O O Aldol HO O O HO Michael O O O Aldol There are other possibilities for order. O O HO Aldol O O 5.) Synthesize the following molecules. All carbons in the molecules must come from benzene or compounds with 5C’s or less. a.) O H2SO4 O HNO3 O2N AlCl3 O O SOCl2 HO Cl H2CrO4 1.) BuLi, Et2O + O 2.) H3O HO b.) O O O Cl + H3O NaOEt, EtOH O O O O Cl O AlCl3 Cl Cl AlCl3 Cl2 c.) O OMe NaOMe MeOH O O 1.) POCl3, DMF 2.) H2O OMe OMe O AlCl3 MeI Cl ONa HCl NaOH ZnHg 1.) NaOH + mcpba O 2.) H3O O OH O O AlCl3 Cl 6.) Write the mechanism for the following reactions. a.) S N O + O R NEt O 3 O b.) O O cat. AcOH O + + H NH NH2 Ph 7.) The following molecule can be broken down two ways. Show both ways. Then, decide which will be the best way synthetically to make the target compound. Route A O O Claisen O O 2 1 3 O 2 1 O 3 O Route B O O Claisen O O 2 3 1 O 2 1 O 3 O Route A vs. Route B Route A is tempting as only one of the two reactants can be turned into a nucleophile as only one of them (the ketone) has an enolizable proton. Unfortunately, it has two different types of enolizable protons. They have similar acidities and similar sterics, so even LDA cannot differentiate them. As a result, you would get a mixture of nucleophiles. O O LDA O Et2O The starting materials for route B both have enolizable protons, so they both have the potential to be nucleophiles. Therefore, reversible conditions like sodium methoxide in methanol will not work as a complex mixture of products would be obtained. However, LDA can be used to designate the nucleophile. O O O O O O + LDA H3O O O Et O O 2 Et2O 8.) Breakdown the following molecules. One step only. Write the name of the reaction above the arrow. (Aldol, Michael, Mannich, Claisen, Umpolung) a.)

Received: 30 July 2013; in revised form: 14 September 2013 / Accepted: 16 September 2013 / Published: 26 September 2013 Abstract: The 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase complexes (ODHc) consist of multiple copies of three enzyme components: E1, a 2-oxoacid decarboxylase; E2, dihydrolipoyl acyl-transferase; and E3, dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase, that together catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxoacids, in the presence of thiamin diphosphate (ThDP), coenzyme A 2+ + (CoA), Mg and NAD , to generate CO2, NADH and the corresponding acyl-CoA. The structural scaffold of the complex is provided by E2, with E1 and E3 bound around the periphery. The three principal members of the family are pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDHc), 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDHc) and branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase (BCKDHc). In this review, we report application of NMR-based approaches to both mechanistic and structural issues concerning these complexes. These studies revealed the nature and reactivity of transient intermediates on the enzymatic pathway and provided site-specific information on the architecture and binding specificity of the domain interfaces using solubilized truncated domain constructs of the multi-domain E2 component in its interactions with the E1 and E3 components.

Marsden, Duncan G. G. McMillan and Ulf Hanefeld * Biokatalyse, Afdeling Biotechnologie, Technische Universiteit Delft, Van der Maasweg 9, 2629HZ Delft, The Netherlands; [email protected] (S.R.M.); [email protected] (D.G.G.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 12 October 2020; Accepted: 12 November 2020; Published: 16 November 2020 Abstract: The synthetic properties of the Thiamine diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 subunit from Escherichia coli (EcPDH E1) was assessed for carboligation reactions with aliphatic ketoacids. Due to its role in metabolism, EcPDH E1 was previously characterised with respect to its biochemical properties, but it was never applied for synthetic purposes. Here, we show that EcPDH E1 is a promising biocatalyst for the production of chiral α-hydroxyketones. WT EcPDH E1 shows a 180–250-fold higher catalytic efficiency towards 2-oxobutyrate or pyruvate, respectively, in comparison to engineered transketolase variants from Geobacillus stearothermophilus (TKGST). Its broad active site cleft allows for the efficient conversion of both (R)- and (S)-configured α-hydroxyaldehydes, next to linear and branched aliphatic aldehydes as acceptor substrates under kinetically controlled conditions. The alternate, thermodynamically controlled self-reaction of aliphatic aldehydes was shown to be limited to low levels of conversion, which we propose to be due to their large hydration constants. Additionally, the thermodynamically controlled approach was demonstrated to suffer from a loss of stereoselectivity, which makes it unfeasible for aliphatic substrates. Keywords: Thiamine diphosphate; transketolase; C-C bond formation; kinetic control; acyloins 1.

Nucleophilic a-(Secondary Amino)- New synthetic alky lation via Metalated Nitrosaminesr**lr”’l methods 0 By Dieter Seebach and Dieter Ended*] There are basically two kinds of hetero atoms in organic molecules: one kind confers electrophilic character upon the carbon atom to which it is bound, and the other kind turns it into a nucleophilic site. The development of methods permitting transitions between the two resulting categories of reagents has become an important task of modern organic synthesis. The scope of such umpolung of the reactivity of functional groups is discussed for the case of amines as an example. A method of preparing masked u-secondary amino carbanions consists in nitrosation of the secondary amine, followed by metalation of the resulting nitrosamine CL to the nitrogen, reaction with electrophiles, and subsequent denitrosation.

First, the carbanion of TPP attacks the carbonyl carbon of xylulose 5-phosphate, forming a proton from the TPP adduct, and subsequent electron rearrangement leads to fragmentation, releasing the first product, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.

  • Methods of Reactivity Umpolung
    Volume 18 - Number 4 April 1979 Pages 239 - 336 International Edition in English Methods of Reactivity Umpolung By Dieter SeebachL"] Dedicated to Professor Horst Pommer on the occasion of his 60th birthday The past decade of organic chemistry may be characterized as a period of violent development of new synthetic methods. This was accompanied by a systematization of the analysis of synthetic problems (synthetic strategy). The planning of the synthesis of an organic target molecule is greatly facilitated by distinguishing between reagents X(C),, . with normal reactiv- ity (acceptor properties at C'*3,5-, donor properties at X, C2,4-.)and with reactivity umpolung (acceptor properties at X, C2,"...,donorproperties at C',3,5-.).In this context, reactivity umpolung turned out to be useful as a heuristic principle, as a classification scheme, and as an aid for locating so-called strategic bonds (synthon, transform, and antithesis according to E. J. Corey). There are six principal methods of umpolung: 1,2n-oxidation, heteroatom exchange and modification, homologation and its reversal, the cyclopropane "trick", use of acetylenes, and redox reactions; under certain circumstances none of these techniques is necessary in cases where direct umpolung is possible.

This paper describes the photocatalytic umpolung strategy for the synthesis of nucleophilic allylcobalt complexes through a single-electron-transfer (SET) process. This strategy enables the metallaphotoredox allylation of carbonyls with allyl acetate using organic N,N-diisopropylethylamine as the terminal reductant bypassing the use of a stoichiometric amount of metals. Ultraviolet−visible spectroscopy was used to monitor the redox changes of cobalt in the reaction.

This paper is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Yingyan Jiang. Introduction Synthetic methods for the preparation of nitrogen-containing esters are of utmost interest and importance because these structures are the key components of natural and unnatural biologically active compounds and functionalized materials. The most straightforward approach to synthesize amino esters involves chemoselective nucleophilic additions to the imino groups of imino esters, and many examples have been reported in which various nucleophiles add to imines in a 1,2-fashion.

Strategy of ring synthesis: thermodynamic and kinetic factors; synthesis of large rings, application of high dilution technique. Asymmetric synthesis: stereoselective and stereospecific reactions; diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity (only definition); diastereoselectivity: addition of nucleophiles to C=O adjacent to a stereogenic centre: Felkin-Anh model. The logic of Organic Synthesis Retrosynthetic analysis: Retrosynthetic analysis is a technique for solving problems in the planning of organic syntheses. This is achieved by transforming a target molecule into simpler precursor structures. Disconnections: A retrosynthetic step involving the breaking of a bond to form two (or more) synthons. TARGET MOLECULE (TM): The molecule whose synthesis is to be planned by retrosynthetic approach is the target molecule. Synthon: Fragments after disconnections Synthetic Equivalents: Molecule that gives the requisite synthon. Natural reactivity and Umpolung Umpolung or polarity inversion in organic chemistry is the chemical modification of a functional group with the aim of the reversal of polarity of that group.[1][2] This modification allows secondary reactions of this functional group that would otherwise not be possible.[3] The concept was introduced by D.
