Lecture 6 the Crossed Aldol Reaction and Its Many Variants
Lecture 6 The Crossed Aldol Reaction and its Many Variants Objectives: By the end of this lecture you will be able to: 1. make an appropriate choice of base to completely enolise carbonyl compounds; 2. use enolates in a crossed aldol reaction; 3. recognise the aldol functional group motif, and its variants, in complex molecules; 4. use the aldol disconnection to simplify a retrosynthetic analysis; 5. use the Reformatski and Mukaiyama aldol reactions in synthesis; 6. draw arrow-pushing mechanisms for all the aldol reactions discussed in this lecture. Introduction We have seen how choosing a base (B-) whose conjugate acid (B−H) is a much poorer acid − i.e. has a much higher pKa − than the proton we wish to abstract, ensures effectively complete deprotonation of the α-C−H of a carbonyl compound to provide the corresponding enolate. By completely enolising the carbonyl group, we can suppress self-condensation aldol processes, and instead use a different electrophile such as an aldehyde to form a β-hydroxy carbonyl compound. This reaction sequence is identical in basic mechanism to the intramolecular aldol processes that we discussed in previous lectures. It is now described as a crossed aldol condensation because the electrophile is a different carbonyl compound to the one that was used to form the nucleophilic enolate. This reaction, and its many variants, provides one of the most important methods for preparing C−C bonds. Pattern Recognition The aldol reaction and its many variants are very useful reactions in synthesis. You need to be able to identify the patterns or functional group motifs where this type of bond-forming process can be used. -
Robert Burns Woodward
The Life and Achievements of Robert Burns Woodward Long Literature Seminar July 13, 2009 Erika A. Crane “The structure known, but not yet accessible by synthesis, is to the chemist what the unclimbed mountain, the uncharted sea, the untilled field, the unreached planet, are to other men. The achievement of the objective in itself cannot but thrill all chemists, who even before they know the details of the journey can apprehend from their own experience the joys and elations, the disappointments and false hopes, the obstacles overcome, the frustrations subdued, which they experienced who traversed a road to the goal. The unique challenge which chemical synthesis provides for the creative imagination and the skilled hand ensures that it will endure as long as men write books, paint pictures, and fashion things which are beautiful, or practical, or both.” “Art and Science in the Synthesis of Organic Compounds: Retrospect and Prospect,” in Pointers and Pathways in Research (Bombay:CIBA of India, 1963).

Aldol Condensation
Chemistry 212 Laboratory Dibenzalacetone via Crossed Aldol Condensation Prelab: Calculate the amounts of all chemicals needed in measurable amounts (i.e. grams or milliliters rather than moles.) Introduction: Aldol condensations are important in organic synthesis, providing a good way to form carbon–carbon bonds. The "aldol" (aldehyde + alcohol) product is a structural unit found in many naturally occurring molecules and pharmaceuticals, and is therefore important. In an Aldol condensation an enolate ion reacts with a carbonyl compound to form a β- hydroxyaldehyde or β-hydroxyketone, followed by dehydration to give a conjugated enone. The general equation is shown in Figure 1. O O O R" B: H R R'" R "R R'" loss of H2O H R' R' Figure 1. The equation for the Aldol Condensation. The reaction involves the nucleophilic addition of an enolate to an aldehyde to form a β-hydroxy carbonyl. The β-hydroxy carbonyl is readily dehydrated under mild conditions. The aldol reaction occurs under both acidic and basic conditions as seen in Figure 2.

MINDO-Forces Study on the Substituent Effect in the Keto-Enol Tautomerism of Acetyl Derivatives

Naturforsch. 59a, 299 – 308 (2004); received February 11, 2004 MINDO-Forces calculations with complete geometry optimization have been performed on ac- etaldehyde, vinyl alcohol and acetyl derivatives CH3COX(X=H, F, OH, CN, NH2,NO2,CH3, CF3,OCH3). It was found that acetaldehyde is more stable than vinyl alcohol by 10.451 kcal/mol. Thermodynamically, keto tautomers are more stable than their enol counterparts. This agrees with theoretical calculations. The electron releasing substituents tend to stabilize keto tautomers, while the electron withdrawing substituents tend to destabilize the keto tautomers, relative to the parent. Geometrical parameters, heats of formation, electron densities, Gibbs free energies and orbital ener- gies (HOMO-LUMO) are reported.

Abstract A method for the light-mediated fluoroalkylation of silyl enol ethers with (bromodifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane followed by a reduction of the primary products with sodium borohydride is described. An 18 W, 375 nm LED was used as the light source. The reaction is performed in the presence of a gold photocatalyst, which effects the generation of a (trimethylsilyl)difluoromethyl radical via cleavage of the carbon–bromine bond. Findings Fluorinated silicon reagents have found widespread use for the to Lewis bases and accordingly it was used as a precursor of introduction of fluorinated fragments [1-5]. Typically, these difluorocarbene, which can react with enol ethers [19,20] reagents work under strongly basic conditions required to acti- (Scheme 1). We showed that this silane could be involved in the vate inert C–Si bonds with the generation of carbanionic radical chain hydrofluoroalkylation of electron-deficient species. On the other hand, radical reactions offer different syn- alkenes, using a boron hydride as a source of hydrogen [21]. -
Bio-Organic Mechanism Game – Simplistic Biochemical Structures and Simplistic Organic Reaction Mechanisms Are Used to Explain Common Biochemical Transformations
1 Bio-Organic Mechanism Game – Simplistic biochemical structures and simplistic organic reaction mechanisms are used to explain common biochemical transformations. Simplified biochemical molecules are presented first. Many biomolecules have a somewhat complex structure that makes it difficult to write out step by step mechanisms. However, if we simplify those structures to the essential parts necessary to explain the mechanistic chemistry of each step, it becomes much easier to consider each step through an important cycle. I have proposed possible simplified structures that are used in the later examples of biochem cycles and problems. The usual strategy in biochem cycles is to just write names, or perhaps, names and a structure. Occasionally a few mechanistic steps are suggested, but almost never is a detailed sequence of mechanistic steps provided. Since it is hard to find such detailed mechanistic steps anywhere (sometimes they are not known) our proposed steps are, of necessity, somewhat speculative. In this book we are not looking for perfection, which is not possible, but for sound organic logic that is consistent with the biochemical examples presented below. There is great satisfaction in blending organic knowledge with real life reactions that help explain how life works. In working through some of the problems, you may develop an alternative mechanism that is just as good, or even better than the one I have proposed. If you do, I hope you will share it with me and if an improved version of this book ever gets written I can include it the next edition (and give you credit). It is almost certain that I have made some errors and I would appreciate it if you would let me know about them. -
