  • 2 Reactions Observed with Alkanes Do Not Occur with Aromatic Compounds 2 (SN2 Reactions Never Occur on Sp Hybridized Carbons!)
    Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Aromatic compounds are stabilized by this “aromatic stabilization” energy Due to this stabilization, normal SN2 reactions observed with alkanes do not occur with aromatic compounds 2 (SN2 reactions never occur on sp hybridized carbons!) In addition, the double bonds of the aromatic group do not behave similar to alkene reactions Aromatic Substitution While aromatic compounds do not react through addition reactions seen earlier Br Br Br2 Br2 FeBr3 Br With an appropriate catalyst, benzene will react with bromine The product is a substitution, not an addition (the bromine has substituted for a hydrogen) The product is still aromatic Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Aromatic compounds react through a unique substitution type reaction Initially an electrophile reacts with the aromatic compound to generate an arenium ion (also called sigma complex) The arenium ion has lost aromatic stabilization (one of the carbons of the ring no longer has a conjugated p orbital) Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution In a second step, the arenium ion loses a proton to regenerate the aromatic stabilization The product is thus a substitution (the electrophile has substituted for a hydrogen) and is called an Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Energy Profile Transition states Transition states Intermediate Potential E energy H Starting material Products E Reaction Coordinate The rate-limiting step is therefore the formation of the arenium ion The properties of this arenium ion therefore control electrophilic aromatic substitutions (just like any reaction consider the stability of the intermediate formed in the rate limiting step) 1) The rate will be faster for anything that stabilizes the arenium ion 2) The regiochemistry will be controlled by the stability of the arenium ion The properties of the arenium ion will predict the outcome of electrophilic aromatic substitution chemistry Bromination To brominate an aromatic ring need to generate an electrophilic source of bromine In practice typically add a Lewis acid (e.g.

  • Reaction Mechanism Lecture 3 : Nucleophilic And
    Module 10 : Reaction mechanism Lecture 3 : Nucleophilic and Electrophilic Addition and Abstraction Objectives In this lecture you will learn the following Ligand activation by metal that leads to a direct external attack at the ligand. Nucleophilic addition and nucleophilic abstraction reactions. Electrophilic addition and electrophilic abstraction reactions. The nucleophilic and electrophilic substitution and abstraction reactions can be viewed as ways of activation of substrates to allow an external reagent to directly attack the metal activated ligand without requiring prior binding of the external reagent to the metal. The attacking reagent may be a nucleophile or an electrophile. The nucleophilic attack of the external reagent is favored if the LnM fragment is a poor π−base and a good σ−acid i.e., when the complex is cationic and/or when the other metal bound ligands are electron withdrawing such that the ligand getting activated gets depleted of electron density and can undergo an external attack by a nucleophile Nu−, like LiMe or OH−. The attack of the nucleophiles may result in the formation of a bond between the nucleophiles and the activated unsaturated substrate, in which case it is called nucleophilic addition, or may result in an abstraction of a part or the whole of the activated ligand, in which case it is called the nucleophilic abstraction. The nucleophilic addition and the abstraction reactions are discussed below. Nucleophilic addition An example of a nucleophilic addition reaction is shown below. Carbon monoxide (CO) as a ligand can undergo nucleophilic attack when bound to a metal center of poor π−basicity, as the carbon center of the CO ligand is electron deficient owing to the ligand to metal σ−donation not being fully compensated by the metal to ligand π−back donation.

  • 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 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.

  • Chapter 8 - Alkenes and Alkynes II
    Andrew Rosen Chapter 8 - Alkenes and Alkynes II 8.1 - Addition Reactions of Alkenes - Electrons in the π bond of alkenes react with electrophiles 8.2 - Electrophilic Addition of Hydrogen Halides to Alkenes: Mechanism and Markovnikov's Rule - Hydrogen halides can add to the double bond of alkenes - The order of reactivity of the hydrogen halides in alkene addition is HI > HBr > HCl > HF - Markovnikov's rule states that in the addition of HX to an alkene, the halide atom adds to the carbon atom of the original double bond with the fewer amount of hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen of HX will bond to the carbon atom of the greater amount of hydrogen atoms. This is precisely the same thing as stabilizing a carbocation intermediate by having the nucleophile go to the more substituted carbon - More accurately, the negative portion of an unsymmetrical ionic addition reagent will bond to the carbon of the double bond with the fewer amount of hydrogen atoms while the more positive reagent will restore the stability of the carbocation - Note that this is not in water. Typically, this will happen when the solvent is not listed - A reaction is regioselective if it can potentially yield two or more constitutional isomers but produces a predominance of one 8.3 - Stereochemistry of the Ionic Addition to an Alkene - The enantiomers are produced in equal amounts because the carbocation is trigonal planar 8.4 - Addition of Sulfuric Acid to Alkenes - Adds a hydroxide group onto the alkene via Markovnikov's Rule Allyl and Benzyl Carbocations - Resonance can stabilize a product - Revised Carbocation Stability Trend: Methyl < Primary < Secondary ≈ Primary allylic ≈ Primary benzylic < Tertiary ≈ Secondary allylic ≈ Secondary benzylic < Tertiary allylic ≈ Tertiary benzylic 1 8.5 - Addition of Water to Alkenes: Acid-Catalyzed Hydration - Note how this, too, follows Markovnikov's Rule - in is the same as + because will be a strong acid (except for ), and the solvent is in HX H2O H3O HX HF larger quantities.

  • Chem 51B Chapter 16 Notes
    Lecture Notes Chem 51B S. King Chapter 16 Conjugation, Resonance, and Dienes I. Conjugation Conjugation occurs whenever p-orbitals can overlap on three or more adjacent atoms. O H • Conjugated systems are more stable than non-conjugated systems because they are resonance stabilized. • When p-orbitals overlap, the e− density in each of the π-bonds is spread over a larger volume. This lowers the energy and stabilizes the molecule. • To delocalize non-bonded electrons, or electrons in π-bonds, there must be p- orbitals that can overlap. This may mean that the hybridization of an atom is different that would have been predicted using the rules outlined in chapter 1. • Conjugated systems must be planar to allow overlap of adjacent p-orbitals. Compare: 116 A. Relative Stabilities of Conjugated Dienes Experimental heats of hydrogenation of isomeric dienes can be used to compare their relative stabilites. When hydrogenation gives the same alkane from two different dienes, the more stable diene has the smaller heat of hydrogenation Compare: Pt + H2 CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3 !H°= "61 kcal catalyst mole Pt + H CH CH CH CH CH !H°= "54 kcal 2 catalyst 3 2 2 2 3 mole Shown graphically: B.
