William Bentley* 13 14 15 16 17 18 A scale of nucleophilicityFor Peer(N′′′) for relatively Review strong nucleophiles (e.g. carbanions 19 20 21 and amines), spanning over 5 orders of magnitude was constructed directly from 22 23 experimental rate constants for reactions of 34 nucleophiles with a benzhydrylium 24 25 + cation, (lil)2CH (log k = N′′′ in dimethyl sulfoxide at 20 ˚C). The equation log k = 26 27 28 (E′′′ + sEN′′′ +c), where E′′′ is an electrophilicity parameter, sE is a Swain-Scott type 29 30 of response parameter (to variation in nucleophilicity) for the electrophile, and c is a 31 32 residuals term, is used to correlate second order rate constants for reactions of 33 34 35 nucleophiles with other benzhydrylium cations, quinone methides (QM) and 36 37 Michael-acceptor electrophiles. Contrary to published claims (Mayr et al. Angew 38 39 40 Chem. Int. Edn. 2002, 41, 92, and later work), sE increases as the reactivity of the 41 42 QM decreases. The N′′′ scale was extended a further 3 orders of magnitude by an 43 44 extrapolation involving a QM electrophile. In contrast, published procedures 45 46 47 involve over 40 reference electrophiles and over 100 adjustable parameters obtained 48 49 from the equation log k = sN(E + N), where k is the rate constant, and sN is a 50 51 nucleophile parameter. Values of N – N′′′ in DMSO increase by 8 log units, as the 52 53 54 reactivity of the nucleophile increases, because N is a floating scale whereas N′′′ is a 55 56 fixed scale. 57 58 59 60 1 http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/poc Journal of Physical Organic Chemistry Page 2 of 35 1 2 3 * Chemistry Unit, Grove Building, Swansea University, Singleton Park, Swansea SA2 4 5 6 8PP, Wales, UK 7 8 Email: t.w.bentley@swansea.ac.uk 9 10 11 12 13 KEYWORDS: nucleophilicity scales, Swain-Scott equation, nucleophiles, 14 15 benzhydrylium cations, quinone methides 16 17 18 For Peer Review 19 20 INTRODUCTION 21 22 23 24 25 26 The general equation (1) has recently been proposed to correlate logarithms of rate 27 28 constants (log k) at 20 ˚C for a huge range of reactions of electrophiles (electrophilicity E) 29 30 and nucleophiles (nucleophilicity N); in Eqn (1), s is referred to as a ‘nucleophile- 31 N 32 [1,2] 33 specific’ parameter and sE as an ‘electrophile-specific’ parameter. It is then assumed 34 35 that sE = 1 for many reactions, so ‘deriving’ Eqn (2) which had already been used in plots 36 37 38 of log k vs. E to evaluate values of sN (from slopes) and N (from the intercept on the 39 [3,4] 40 abscissa) for over 100 nucleophiles. 41 42 43 Originally[1-4] the symbol s was chosen for Eqn (2), but it is not the same as the s (or 44 45 [5] 46 sE) parameter in the well established Swain-Scott equation (3). Consequently sN is 47 48 more appropriate than s for Eqn (2). Equation (4) fits many cation – anion 49 50 recombinations,[6] and the absence of an response parameter is consistent with the 51 52 [1,2] 53 assumption that sE = 1. In Eqns (3) and (4), n or N+ quantify nucleophilicity, and k0 54 55 refers to a reference reaction, so relative rates are correlated. 56 57 58 59 60 2 http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/poc Page 3 of 35 Journal of Physical Organic Chemistry 1 2 3 log k = s s (E + N) (1) 4 E N 5 6 log k = sN (E + N) (2) 7 8 log k/k0 = sn (3) 9 10 11 log k/k0 = N+ (4) 12 13 14 15 The question ‘How constant are Ritchie’s constant selectivity relationships’ was the 16 17 [7] 18 title of a recent Forpaper, concluding Peer that sEReview is constant if anomalous data for water are 19 20 excluded. Recognising this problem earlier, Ritchie proposed[6] that the reference 21 22 nucleophile (rate constant k0) be hydroxide, instead of water which was chosen in earlier 23 24 [8] [6] 25 work in line with Eqn (3). There are various N+ scales, and ideally the reference 26 27 electrophile should be specified when N+ correlations are reported. 28 29 Published work[3,4] on N scales uses values of E for a ‘basis set’ of 23 reference 30 31 32 electrophiles; the electrophilicities of seven benzhydrylium cations, ranging in values of E 33 34 from 0 to 6 were defined by rate constants for reactions with 2-methylpent-1-ene,[3] and 35 36 37 values of E down to -10 (along with N values for 38 nucleophiles) were then obtained by 38 [3] 39 a multi-parameter extrapolation procedure (MPC1, Scheme 1). Plots of log k vs. E for 40 41 individual nucleophiles then gave new values of N. This complex procedure (upper half 42 43 44 of Scheme 1) leads to a floating scale when sN ≠ 1, referring to dichloromethane (DCM) 45 46 as solvent at 20 ˚C: (i) which deviates from a fixed scale by 5 orders of magnitude; (ii) in 47 48 which none of the >200 parameters are defined by directly-determined experimental 49 50 [9] 51 data. 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 3 http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/poc Journal of Physical Organic Chemistry Page 4 of 35 1 2 3 IN OUT 4 Experimental Calculated 5 Computation 6 kinetic data data 7 8 extrapolate k 9 define s = 1 E from 0 to 6 + Ar CH+ 10 2 define E = 0 11 at low temp 12 13 200 data points MPC1 38 N values 14 + 15 16 E values data for log k vs. E 16 individual plots 17 nucleophiles additional 18 For PeerN values Review 19 solvent changes from dichloromethane to DMSO 20 E values data for MPC2 of 1a - 1f 21 reaction of 22 2a - 2g (key 23 carbanions) E values of key with 1a - 1m quinone methides 24 1g - 1m 25 N values of 26 MPC3a key carbanions 27 data for various general types MPC3b 28 of electrophiles 29 MPC3c additional 30 E values 31 data for log k vs. E 32 individual 33 nucleophiles plots 34 additional 35 N values 36 37 38 39 40 Scheme 1.

Kinetic data for reactions of these electrophiles with key 26 27 nucleophiles (Scheme 3) underwent another correlation (MPC2, Scheme 1), further 28 29 extrapolating the E scale from -10 to -18.[11] The derived N values were then the input for 30 31 [13- 32 MPC3a, MPC3b etc, characterising E values for other electrophiles from E = -8 to -23.

  • 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.

  • AROMATIC NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION-PART -2 Electrophilic Substitution
    Dr. Tripti Gangwar AROMATIC NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION-PART -2 Electrophilic substitution ◦ The aromatic ring acts as a nucleophile, and attacks an added electrophile E+ ◦ An electron-deficient carbocation intermediate is formed (the rate- determining step) which is then deprotonated to restore aromaticity ◦ electron-donating groups on the aromatic ring (such as -OH, -OCH3, and alkyl) make the reaction faster, since they help to stabilize the electron-poor carbocation intermediate ◦ Lewis acids can make electrophiles even more electron-poor (reactive), increasing the reaction rate. For example FeBr3 / Br2 allows bromination to occur at a useful rate on benzene, whereas Br2 by itself is slow). In fact, a substitution reaction does occur! (But, as you may suspect, this isn’t an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.) In this substitution reaction the C-Cl bond breaks, and a C-O bond forms on the same carbon. The species that attacks the ring is a nucleophile, not an electrophile The aromatic ring is electron-poor (electrophilic), not electron rich (nucleophilic) The “leaving group” is chlorine, not H+ The position where the nucleophile attacks is determined by where the leaving group is, not by electronic and steric factors (i.e. no mix of ortho– and para- products as with electrophilic aromatic substitution). In short, the roles of the aromatic ring and attacking species are reversed! The attacking species (CH3O–) is the nucleophile, and the ring is the electrophile. Since the nucleophile is the attacking species, this type of reaction has come to be known as nucleophilic aromatic substitution. n nucleophilic aromatic substitution (NAS), all the trends you learned in electrophilic aromatic substitution operate, but in reverse.

  • 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.

In this chapter we are going to concentrate on just one of them—probably the simplest of all organic reactions—the addition of a nucleo- phile to a carbonyl group. The carbonyl group, as found in aldehydes, ketones, and many other compounds, is without doubt the most important functional group in organic chemis- try, and that is another reason why we have chosen it as our fi rst topic for more detailed study. You met nucleophilic addition to a carbonyl group on pp.
