17 Carbonyl Compounds I Carbonyl Compounds I 17 Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution he carbonyl group—a carbon double bonded to T an oxygen—is probably the most important functional group found in organic compounds. Compounds containing an acyl chloride carbonyl groups— called carbonyl compounds— Penicillin G are abundant in nature. Many play important roles in biological processes. Hormones, vitamins, amino acids, drugs, and flavorings are just a few of the carbonyl compounds that affect us daily. An acyl group consists of a car- bonyl group attached to an alkyl group or to an aryl group. O O O C C C R Ar a carbonyl group acyl groups an ester The substituents attached to the acyl group strongly affect the reactivity of carbonyl compounds. Carbonyl compounds can be divided into two classes. Class I carbonyl compounds are those in which the acyl group is attached to an atom or a group that can be replaced by another group. Carboxylic acids, acyl halides, acid anhydrides, esters, and amides belong to this class. All of these compounds contain a group ( ¬ OH, ¬ Cl, ¬ Br, ¬ O(CO)R, ¬ OR, ¬ NH2 , ¬ NHR, or ¬ NR2) that can be replaced by a nucleophile. Acyl halides, acid anhydrides, esters, and amides are all called a carboxylic acid carboxylic acid derivatives because they differ from a carboxylic acid only in the na- ture of the group that has replaced the OH group of the carboxylic acid. compounds with groups that can be replaced by a nucleophile O O O O C C C C R OH R OR′ R O R′ an amide a carboxylic acidan ester an acid anhydride 670 Section 17.1 Nomenclature 671 compounds with groups that can be replaced by a nucleophile O O O O O C C C C C ′ ′ R Cl R Br R NH2 R NHR R NR 2 an acyl chloride an acyl bromide amides acyl halides Class II carbonyl compounds are those in which the acyl group is attached to a group that cannot be readily replaced by another group. Aldehydes and ketones belong to this class. The ¬ H and alkyl or aryl ( ¬ R or ¬ Ar) groups of aldehydes and ke- tones cannot be replaced by a nucleophile. cannot be replaced by a nucleophile O O C C R H R′ R an aldehyde a ketone In Chapter 10, we saw that the likelihood of a group’s being replaced by another group depends on the relative basicities of the two groups: The weaker the basicity of a group, the better its leaving ability. Recall from Section 10.3 that weak bases are good leaving groups because weak bases do not share their electrons as well as strong bases do. The pKa values of the conjugate acids of the leaving groups of various carbonyl compounds are listed in Table 17.1. Notice that the acyl groups of Class I carbonyl com- pounds are attached to weaker bases than are the acyl groups of Class II carbonyl compounds. (Remember that the lower the pKa, the stronger the acid and the weaker its conjugate base.) The ¬ H of an aldehyde and the alkyl or aryl ( ¬ R or ¬ Ar) group of a ketone are too basic to be replaced by another group. This chapter discusses the reactions of Class I carbonyl compounds. We will see that these compounds undergo substitution reactions because they have an acyl group attached to a group that can be replaced by a nucleophile. The reactions of aldehydes and ketones will be considered in Chapter 18. Because aldehydes and ketones have an acyl group attached to a group that cannot be replaced by a nucleophile, we can cor- rectly predict that these compounds do not undergo substitution reactions. 17.1 Nomenclature Carboxylic Acids In systematic nomenclature, a carboxylic acid is named by replacing the terminal “e” of the alkane name with “oic acid.” For example, the one-carbon alkane is methane,so the one-carbon carboxylic acid is methanoic acid. O O O O C C C C H OH CH3 OH CH3CH2 OH CH3CH2CH2 OH systematic name: methanoic acid ethanoic acid propanoic acid butanoic acid common name: formic acid acetic acid propionic acid butyric acid O O O O C C C C CH3CH2CH2CH2 OH CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2 OH CH2 CH OH OH pentanoic acid hexanoic acid propenoic acid benzenecarboxylic acid valeric acid caproic acid acrylic acid benzoic acid 672 CHAPTER 17 Carbonyl Compounds I Table 17.1 The pKa Values of the Conjugate Acids of the Leaving Groups of Carbonyl Compounds Carbonyl Leaving Conjugate acid of compound group the leaving group pKa Class I O C − R Br Br HBr −9 O C − R Cl Cl HCl −7 O O O O C C C C − R O R O R ROH ~3–5 O C − R OR′ OR′ R′OH ~15–16 O C − R OH OH H2O 15.7 O C − R NH2 NH2 NH3 36 Class II O C − R H H H2 ~40 O C − R R R RH ~50 Carboxylic acids containing six or fewer carbons are frequently called by their com- mon names. These names were chosen by early chemists to describe some feature of the compound, usually its origin. For example, formic acid is found in ants, bees, and other stinging insects; its name comes from formica, which is Latin for “ant.” Acetic acid—contained in vinegar—got its name from acetum, the Latin word for “vinegar.” Propionic acid is the smallest acid that shows some of the characteristics of the larger fatty acids; its name comes from the Greek words pro (“the first”) and pion (“fat”). Bu- tyric acid is found in rancid butter; the Latin word for “butter” is butyrum. Caproic acid is found in goat’s milk, and if you have the occasion to smell both a goat and caproic acid, you will find that they have similar odors. Caper is the Latin word for “goat.” In systematic nomenclature, the position of a substituent is designated by a number. The carbonyl carbon of a carboxylic acid is always the C-1 carbon. In common nomen- clature, the position of a substituent is designated by a lowercase Greek letter, and the carbonyl carbon is not given a designation. The carbon adjacent to the carbonyl carbon is the A-carbon, the carbon adjacent to the a-carbon is the b-carbon, and so on.

    De novo biosynthesis of terminal alkyne-labeled natural products Xuejun Zhu1,2, Joyce Liu2,3, Wenjun Zhang1,2,4* 1Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, 2Energy Biosciences Institute, 3Department of Bioengineering, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA. 4Physical Biosciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA. *e-mail:[email protected] 1 Abstract: The terminal alkyne is a functionality widely used in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical science, material science, and bioorthogonal chemistry. This functionality is also found in acetylenic natural products, but the underlying biosynthetic pathways for its formation are not well understood. Here we report the characterization of the first carrier protein- dependent terminal alkyne biosynthetic machinery in microbes. We further demonstrate that this enzymatic machinery can be exploited for the in situ generation and incorporation of terminal alkynes into two natural product scaffolds in E. coli. These results highlight the prospect for tagging major classes of natural products, including polyketides and polyketide/non-ribosomal peptide hybrids, using biosynthetic pathway engineering. 2 Natural products are important small molecules widely used as drugs, pesticides, herbicides, and biological probes. Tagging natural products with a unique chemical handle enables the visualization, enrichment, quantification, and mode of action study of natural products through bioorthogonal chemistry1-4.

  • Solvent Effects on Structure and Reaction Mechanism: a Theoretical Study of [2 + 2] Polar Cycloaddition Between Ketene and Imine
    J. Phys. Chem. B 1998, 102, 7877-7881 7877 Solvent Effects on Structure and Reaction Mechanism: A Theoretical Study of [2 + 2] Polar Cycloaddition between Ketene and Imine Thanh N. Truong Henry Eyring Center for Theoretical Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, UniVersity of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112 ReceiVed: March 25, 1998; In Final Form: July 17, 1998 The effects of aqueous solvent on structures and mechanism of the [2 + 2] cycloaddition between ketene and imine were investigated by using correlated MP2 and MP4 levels of ab initio molecular orbital theory in conjunction with the dielectric continuum Generalized Conductor-like Screening Model (GCOSMO) for solvation. We found that reactions in the gas phase and in aqueous solution have very different topology on the free energy surfaces but have similar characteristic motion along the reaction coordinate. First, it involves formation of a planar trans-conformation zwitterionic complex, then a rotation of the two moieties to form the cycloaddition product. Aqueous solvent significantly stabilizes the zwitterionic complex, consequently changing the topology of the free energy surface from a gas-phase single barrier (one-step) process to a double barrier (two-step) one with a stable intermediate. Electrostatic solvent-solute interaction was found to be the dominant factor in lowering the activation energy by 4.5 kcal/mol. The present calculated results are consistent with previous experimental data. Introduction Lim and Jorgensen have also carried out free energy perturbation (FEP) theory simulations with accurate force field that includes + [2 2] cycloaddition reactions are useful synthetic routes to solute polarization effects and found even much larger solvent - formation of four-membered rings.

  • Chapter 14 – Aldehydes and Ketones
    Chapter 14 – Aldehydes and Ketones 14.1 Structures and Physical Properties of Aldehydes and Ketones Ketones and aldehydes are related in that they each possess a C=O (carbonyl) group. They differ in that the carbonyl carbon in ketones is bound to two carbon atoms (RCOR’), while that in aldehydes is bound to at least one hydrogen (H2CO and RCHO). Thus aldehydes always place the carbonyl group on a terminal (end) carbon, while the carbonyl group in ketones is always internal. Some common examples include (common name in parentheses): O O H HH methanal (formaldehyde) trans-3-phenyl-2-propenal (cinnamaldehyde) preservative oil of cinnamon O O propanone (acetone) 3-methylcyclopentadecanone (muscone) nail polish remover a component of one type of musk oil Simple aldehydes (e.g. formaldehyde) typically have an unpleasant, irritating odor. Aldehydes adjacent to a string of double bonds (e.g. 3-phenyl-2-propenal) frequently have pleasant odors. Other examples include the primary flavoring agents in oil of bitter almond (Ph- CHO) and vanilla (C6H3(OH)(OCH3)(CHO)). As your book says, simple ketones have distinctive odors (similar to acetone) that are typically not unpleasant in low doses. Like aldehydes, placing a collection of double bonds adjacent to a ketone carbonyl generally makes the substance more fragrant. The primary flavoring agent in oil of caraway is just a such a ketone. 2 O oil of carraway Because the C=O group is polar, small aldehydes and ketones enjoy significant water solubility. They are also quite soluble in typical organic solvents. 14.2 Naming Aldehydes and Ketones Aldehydes The IUPAC names for aldehydes are obtained by using rules similar to those we’ve seen for other functional groups (e.g.
