  • 1 the 2-Step Synthesis of Lidocaine Review
    The 2-Step Synthesis of Lidocaine Review: You should review SN2 reactions. You also need to do some on your own reading of section 20- 15 in Wade. Make sure you are familiar with macroscale recrystallization and macroscale separation using a separatory funnel. Introduction: Lidocaine is a member of the Caine family of pharmaceutical local anesthetics. Figure 1 below shows the chemical structure of Lidocaine as well as three other members of this important family of numbing agents. Figure 1. Well-known compounds in the Caine family of local anesthetics NH2 H N CO2CH3 N CO2CH2CH3 N O O Ph N H N O O 2 O Lidocaine Cocaine Novocaine Benzocaine When used correctly, these compounds are very effective at providing local anesthesia, or the numbing feeling you get when you go to the dentist for a filling, for example. These compounds are administered topically, orally, or injected, depending on the situation. Topical creams and ointments that are available over the counter (OTC) generally contain Lidocaine and sometimes Benzocaine. Of the four compounds in Figure 1, Cocaine is not available OTC (hopefully this is obvious) and is not commonly used among the medical community due to its extremely addictive nature. Local anesthetics prevent us from experiencing pain in a small portion of the body, i.e., wherever it is applied. When a local anesthetic is injected directly into the spinal fluid, our entire lower body goes numb. An example of the latter is an epidural given to a woman in labor, most commonly Bupivacaine (structure not shown). A common example of a local anesthetic is the use of Benzocaine in teething gel (Orajel®) for infants.

  • 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.

  • Working with Hazardous Chemicals
    A Publication of Reliable Methods for the Preparation of Organic Compounds Working with Hazardous Chemicals The procedures in Organic Syntheses are intended for use only by persons with proper training in experimental organic chemistry. All hazardous materials should be handled using the standard procedures for work with chemicals described in references such as "Prudent Practices in the Laboratory" (The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., 2011; the full text can be accessed free of charge at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12654). All chemical waste should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. For general guidelines for the management of chemical waste, see Chapter 8 of Prudent Practices. In some articles in Organic Syntheses, chemical-specific hazards are highlighted in red “Caution Notes” within a procedure. It is important to recognize that the absence of a caution note does not imply that no significant hazards are associated with the chemicals involved in that procedure. Prior to performing a reaction, a thorough risk assessment should be carried out that includes a review of the potential hazards associated with each chemical and experimental operation on the scale that is planned for the procedure. Guidelines for carrying out a risk assessment and for analyzing the hazards associated with chemicals can be found in Chapter 4 of Prudent Practices. The procedures described in Organic Syntheses are provided as published and are conducted at one's own risk. Organic Syntheses, Inc., its Editors, and its Board of Directors do not warrant or guarantee the safety of individuals using these procedures and hereby disclaim any liability for any injuries or damages claimed to have resulted from or related in any way to the procedures herein.

  • 1. A. the First Reaction Is a Friedel-Crafts Acylation (FCA), Where the Major Product Is the Para- Isomer (60% Isolated Yield)
    1. a. The first reaction is a Friedel-Crafts Acylation (FCA), where the major product is the para- isomer (60% isolated yield). The second reaction is a nitration, where the incoming electrophile (nitronium ion) is directed to the ortho position of the methoxy group. The last reaction is a Wolff-Kishner reduction that converts the acetyl group into an ethyl group. The nitro group does not react under these conditions.

Tetrahydrofuran is a fairly strong Lewis base, which would react and deactivate the AlCl3 catalyst. Ethanol would also react with AlCl3 and form alcoholates, which are inactive at FCA catalyst. Dichloromethane is polar enough to dissolve all three compounds but does not form adducts with AlCl3. Thus, aluminum chloride maintains its Lewis acidity. 3+ c. As discussed in lecture, AlCl3*6 H2O is not suitable as catalyst because the Al is not a strong Lewis acid anymore. In addition, larger amounts of water would destroy the acetyl chloride as well (=hydrolysis, CH3COCl + H2O ---- > CH3COOH + HCl). Consequently, the reaction would not proceed in the desired fashion. 3+ OH2 H2O OH2 Al H2O OH2 OH2 d. In order to determine the yield, one has to calculate the number of moles of the reactant and the product. nA = 1.90 mL * 0.996 g/mL/108.14 g/mol = 17.5 mmol nCH3COCl = 2.49 mL * 1.104 g/mL/78.5 g/mol = 35.0 mmol nAlCl3 = 4.67 g/133.5 g/mol = 35.0 mmol Compound (A) is the limiting reagent.

Doctor of Philosophy (Chemistry), December, 1970, 63 pp., 3 tables, bibliography, 62 titles. Part I describes the addition of several acid chlorides to dimethylketene. The resulting 3-ketoacid chlorides were isolated and characterized. The reactivities of acid chlorides were found to parallel the parent acid pKa's. A reactivity order of ketenes toward acid chlorides was established. Dimethylketene is more reactive than ketene which is more reactive than diphenylketene. Attempts to effect the addition of an acid halide to a ketene produced by in situ dehydro- halogenation yielded a-halovinyl esters. The addition of acid chlorides to ketenes was concluded to be an ionic process dependent upon the nucleophilic character of the ketene oc- carbon and the polarity of the carbon-chlorine bond in the acid chloride. Part II describes the cycloaddition of several aldo- ketenes to chloral. The ketenes were generated in situ by dehydrohalogenation and dehalogenation of appropriately substituted acyl halides. Both cis- and trans-4-trichloro- Miyl-2-oxetanones are produced in the cycloadditions with the sterically hindered cis isomer predominating. Isomer distributions were determined by vpc or nmr analysis of the reaction solutions. Production of the ketenes by dehalo- genation resulted in enhanced reactivity of the carbonyl compounds.
