23.5 Basicity and Acidity of Amines 23_BRCLoudon_pgs5-0.qxd 12/8/08 1:22 PM Page 1122 1122 CHAPTER 23 • THE CHEMISTRY OF AMINES alkylamines, this resonance occurs at rather small chemical shift—typically around d 1. In aromatic amines, this resonance is at greater chemical shift, as in the second of the preceding examples. Like the OH protons of alcohols, phenols, and carboxylic acids, the NH protons of amines under most conditions undergo rapid exchange (Secs. 13.6 and 13.7D). For this reason, split- ting between the amine N H and adjacent C H groups is usually not observed. Thus, in the NMR spectrum of diethylamine,L the N H resonanceL is a singlet rather than the triplet ex- pected from splitting by the adjacent CHL2 protons. In some amine samples, the N H resonance is broadened and, like the OL H protonL of alcohols, it can be obliterated fromL the spectrum by exchange with D2O (the “DL2O shake,” p. 611). The characteristic 13C NMR absorptions of amines are those of the a-carbons—the carbons attached directly to the nitrogen. These absorptions occur in the d 30–50 chemical-shift range. As expected from the relative electronegativities of oxygen and nitrogen, these shifts are somewhat less than the a-carbon shifts of ethers. PROBLEMS 23.4 Identify the compound that has an M 1 ion at mÜz 136 in its CI mass spectrum, an IR 1 + = absorption at 3279 cm_ , and the following NMR spectrum: d 0.91 (1H, s), d 1.07 (3H, t, J 7Hz), d 2.60 (2H, q, J 7Hz), d 3.70 (2H, s), d 7.18 (5H, apparent s). = = 1 23.5 A compound has IR absorptions at 3400–3500 cm_ and the following NMR spectrum: d 2.07 (6H, s), d 2.16 (3H, s), d 3.19 (broad, exchanges with D2O), d 6.63 (2H, s). To which one of the following compounds do these spectra belong? Explain. (1) 2,4-dimethylbenzylamine (2) 2,4,6-trimethylaniline (3) N,N-dimethyl-p-methylaniline (4) 3,5-dimethyl-N-methylaniline (5) 4-ethyl-2,6-dimethylaniline 23.6 Explain how you could distinguish between the two compounds in each of the following sets using only 13C NMR spectroscopy.

Although ammonium chloride is often written as NH4Cl, the structure is more properly represented as |NH4 Cl_. Although the N H bonds are covalent, there is no covalent bond between the nitrogen and the chlorine. (A Lcovalent bond would violate the octet rule.) Recall that the basicity of any compound, including an amine, is expressed in terms of the pKa of its conjugate acid (Sec. 3.4D). The higher the pKa of an ammonium ion, the more basic is its conjugate-base amine. (A discussion of the relationship between basicity constants Kb and dissociation constants Ka is given in Study Guide Link 3.5.) B. Substituent Effects on Amine Basicity The pKa values for the conjugate acids of some representative amines are given in Table 23.1. As this table shows, the exact basicity of an amine depends on its structure. Four factors influ- ence the basicity of amines; these are the same effects that influence the acid–base properties of other compounds. They are: 1. the effect of alkyl substitution 2. the polar effect 3. the resonance effect 4. the effect of charge Recall that the pKa of an ammonium ion, like that of any other acid, is directly related to the standard free-energy difference DGa between it and its conjugate base by the following equa- tion (Eq. 3.37, p. 112 ). ° DGa 2.3RT(pKa) (23.5) °= 23_BRCLoudon_pgs5-0.qxd 12/8/08 1:22 PM Page 1124 1124 CHAPTER 23 • THE CHEMISTRY OF AMINES The effect of a substituent group on pKa can be analyzed in terms of how it affects the energy of either an ammonium ion or its conjugate-base amine, as shown in Fig. 23.2. For example, if a substituent stabilizes an amine more than it stabilizes the conjugate-acid ammonium ion (Fig. 23.2a), the standard free energy of the amine is lowered, DGa is decreased, and the pKa of the ammonium ion is reduced; that is, the amine is less basic than° the amine without the substituent. If a substituent stabilizes the ammonium ion more than its conjugate-base amine (Fig. 23.2b), the opposite effect is observed: the pKa is increased, and the amine basicity is also increased. Consider first the effect of alkyl substitution. Most common alkylamines are somewhat more basic than ammonia in aqueous solution: pKa in aqueous solution: NH| 4 MeNH| 3 Me2NH| 2 Me3NH| (23.6) 9.21 10.62 10.64 9.76 However, the increase in basicity that results from substitution of one hydrogen of ammonia by a methyl group is reversed as the number of alkyl substituents is increased to three. How can we explain this “turnaround” in amine basicity? Two opposing factors are actually at work here. The first is the tendency of alkyl groups to stabilize charge through a polarization effect. The electron clouds of the alkyl groups distort so as to create a net attraction between them and the positive charge of the ammonium ion: d+ the electron clouds of the methyl groups CH3 are distorted an attractive d– (stabilizing) interaction d– NH CH3 d– d+ CH3 d+ Because the ammonium ion is stabilized by this effect, its pKa is increased (Fig. 23.2b). This effect is evident in the gas-phase basicities of amines. In the gas phase, the acidity of ammo- nium ions decreases regularly with increasing alkyl substitution: Gas-phase acidity: NH4 >>MeNH3 Me2NH2 > Me3NH (23.7) The same polarization effect also operates in the gas-phase acidity of alcohols (Sec. 8.6C), ex- cept in the opposite direction. In other words, the polarization of alkyl groups can act to stabi- lize either positive or negative charge. In the presence of a positive charge, as in ammonium ions, electrons polarize toward the charge; in the presence of a negative charge, as in alkoxide Further Exploration 23.1 Alkyl Group ions, they polarize away from the charge. We might say that electron clouds are like some Polarization in politicians: they polarize in whatever way is necessary to create the most favorable situation. Ionization Reactions (See Further Exploration 23.1 for a more extensive discussion.) The second factor involved in the effect of alkyl substitution on amine basicity must be a solvent effect, because the basicity order of amines in the gas phase (Eq. 23.7) is different from 23_BRCLoudon_pgs5-0.qxd 12/8/08 1:22 PM Page 1125 23.5 BASICITY AND ACIDITY OF AMINES 1125 reducing the energy of the amine decreases the pKa RNH2 H3O| RNH2 H3O| of the ammonium ion + + (decreases amine basicity) RNH2 H3O| + RNH2 H3O| + ∆G°a 2.3RT (pKa) = ∆G°a 2.3RT (pKa) = lower ∆G°a 2.3RT (pKa) higher = a ∆G°a 2.3RT (pKa) = higher lower RNH| 3 H2O STANDARD FREE ENERGY STANDARD FREE ENERGY STANDARD + RNH| 3 H2O RNH| 3 H2O RNH| 3 H2O + + + reducing the energy of the ammonium ion increases its pKa (increases amine basicity) (a) (b) Figure 23.2 Effect of the relative free energies of ammonium ions and amines on the pKa values of the ammo- nium ions.

(b) Reducing the energy of an ammonium ion increases its pKa and thus in- creases the basicity of its conjugate-base amine. that in aqueous solution (Eq. 23.6). In other words, the solvent water must play an important role in the solution basicity of amines. An explanation of this solvent effect is that ammonium ions in solution are stabilized not only by alkyl groups, but also by hydrogen-bond donation to the solvent: H OH2 3 2 H3C"N| H OH2 LL 3 2 "H OH2 3 2 Primary ammonium salts have three hydrogens that can be donated to form hydrogen bonds, but a tertiary ammonium salt has only one.

  • Common Names for Selected Aromatic Groups
    More Nomenclature: Common Names for Selected Aromatic Groups Phenyl group = or Ph = C6H5 = Aryl = Ar = aromatic group. It is a broad term, and includes any aromatic rings. Benzyl = Bn = It has a -CH2- (methylene) group attached to the benzene ring. This group can be used to name particular compounds, such as the one shown below. This compound has chlorine attached to a benzyl group, therefore it is called benzyl chloride. Benzoyl = Bz = . This is different from benzyl group (there is an extra “o” in the name). It has a carbonyl attached to the benzene ring instead of a methylene group. For example, is named benzoyl chloride. Therefore, it is sometimes helpful to recognize a common structure in order to name a compound. Example: Nomenclature: 3-phenylpentane Example: This is Amaize. It is used to enhance the yield of corn production. The systematic name for this compound is 2,4-dinitro-6-(1-methylpropyl)phenol. Polynuclear Aromatic Compounds Aromatic rings can fuse together to form polynuclear aromatic compounds. Example: It is two benzene rings fused together, and it is aromatic. The electrons are delocalized in both rings (think about all of its resonance form). Example: This compound is also aromatic, including the ring in the middle. All carbons are sp2 hybridized and the electron density is shared across all 5 rings. Example: DDT is an insecticide and helped to wipe out malaria in many parts of the world. Consequently, the person who discovered it (Muller) won the Nobel Prize in 1942. The systematic name for this compound is 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis-(4-chlorophenyl)ethane.

  • 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.

  • 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.

NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION Mechanism of Aliphatic Nucleophilic Substitution. Aliphatic nucleophilic substitution clearly involves the donation of a lone pair from the nucleophile to the tetrahedral, electrophilic carbon bonded to a halogen. For that reason, it attracts to nucleophile In organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry, nucleophilic substitution is a fundamental class of reactions in which a leaving group(nucleophile) is replaced by an electron rich compound(nucleophile). The whole molecular entity of which the electrophile and the leaving group are part is usually called the substrate. The nucleophile essentially attempts to replace the leaving group as the primary substituent in the reaction itself, as a part of another molecule. The most general form of the reaction may be given as the following: Nuc: + R-LG → R-Nuc + LG: The electron pair (:) from the nucleophile(Nuc) attacks the substrate (R-LG) forming a new 1 bond, while the leaving group (LG) departs with an electron pair. The principal product in this case is R-Nuc. The nucleophile may be electrically neutral or negatively charged, whereas the substrate is typically neutral or positively charged.

  • Comparative Strengths of Four Organic Bases in Benzene1 Marion Maclean Davis and Hannah B
    Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards Vol. 48, No. 5, May 1952 Research Paper 2326 Comparative Strengths of Four Organic Bases in Benzene1 Marion Maclean Davis and Hannah B. Hetzer Spectropho to metric studies have shown that the reaction of the base 1,3-di-o-tolylguani- dine with the acidic indicator dye bromophthalein magenta E (tetrabromophenolphthalein ethyl ester) in benzene at 25° C, like the reactions of 1,3-diphenylguanidine and 1,2,3-tri- phenylguanidine with the same indicator, can be represented by the following two equations: B + HA ^ BH+.A- (colorless base) (yellow acid) (magenta salt) BH+.A- + B^(BHB)+A- (blue salt) For ditolylguanidine, the equilibrium constants K\ and K2 for the first and second reactions, respectively, are estimated to be 1.1 X106 and 6.4. These values are compared with values for Ki and K2 previously found for di- and triphenylguanidine and the value of Ki found for triethylamine. The values for K\, which measure the relative tendencies of the bases to form salts with the indicator acid in benzene, would be expected to parallel the ionic dissociation constants of the bases in water. However, the parallelism is not good. Diphenylguanidine and ditolylguariidine, which are presumed to be weaker bases in water than triethylamine, are much more reactive in benzene. The results demonstrate how misleading the aqueous dissociation constants may be as a gage of the relative reactivities of bases in a nonaqueous solvent such as benzene. Steric and solvation effects are discussed. 1. Introduction i optical instruments then available, it was possible to make only roughly quantitative comparisons of Hantzsch and his coworkers were the first to J acidic strengths.
