My mother has always encouraged me to ask questions and seek answers, which has guided my inquisitive nature as a scientist. My grandparents have taught me the importance of character and my father taught me the value in hard work. I’d also like to thank my husband for moving away from Georgia, a sacrifice I greatly appreciate. Also, his cheerful disposition helped me stay relatively positive, especially when I had bad research days. My friends also played a very important role in keeping me positive during my time at Wake. Particularly my roommates put up with me more than most. I’d like to thank Lauren Eiter for her sense of humor, Tara Weaver for her taste in books and movies, and Jenna DuMond, for her encouragement and loyalty. Also I’ve made lifetime friends with Meredith and Kavita, and even though they left me at Wake, they were always willing to offer their support.

  • Introduction to Alkenes and Alkynes in an Alkane, All Covalent Bonds
    Introduction to Alkenes and Alkynes In an alkane, all covalent bonds between carbon were σ (σ bonds are defined as bonds where the electron density is symmetric about the internuclear axis) In an alkene, however, only three σ bonds are formed from the alkene carbon -the carbon thus adopts an sp2 hybridization Ethene (common name ethylene) has a molecular formula of CH2CH2 Each carbon is sp2 hybridized with a σ bond to two hydrogens and the other carbon Hybridized orbital allows stronger bonds due to more overlap H H C C H H Structure of Ethylene In addition to the σ framework of ethylene, each carbon has an atomic p orbital not used in hybridization The two p orbitals (each with one electron) overlap to form a π bond (p bonds are not symmetric about the internuclear axis) π bonds are not as strong as σ bonds (in ethylene, the σ bond is ~90 Kcal/mol and the π bond is ~66 Kcal/mol) Thus while σ bonds are stable and very few reactions occur with C-C bonds, π bonds are much more reactive and many reactions occur with C=C π bonds Nomenclature of Alkenes August Wilhelm Hofmann’s attempt for systematic hydrocarbon nomenclature (1866) Attempted to use a systematic name by naming all possible structures with 4 carbons Quartane a alkane C4H10 Quartyl C4H9 Quartene e alkene C4H8 Quartenyl C4H7 Quartine i alkine → alkyne C4H6 Quartinyl C4H5 Quartone o C4H4 Quartonyl C4H3 Quartune u C4H2 Quartunyl C4H1 Wanted to use Quart from the Latin for 4 – this method was not embraced and BUT has remained Used English order of vowels, however, to name the groups

  • 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.

  • Chapter 7 - Alkenes and Alkynes I
    Andrew Rosen Chapter 7 - Alkenes and Alkynes I 7.1 - Introduction - The simplest member of the alkenes has the common name of ethylene while the simplest member of the alkyne family has the common name of acetylene 7.2 - The (E)-(Z) System for Designating Alkene Diastereomers - To determine E or Z, look at the two groups attached to one carbon atom of the double bond and decide which has higher priority. Then, repeat this at the other carbon atom. This system is not used for cycloalkenes - If the two groups of higher priority are on the same side of the double bond, the alkene is designated Z. If the two groups of higher priority are on opposite sides of the double bond, the alkene is designated E - Hydrogenation is a syn/cis addition 7.3 - Relative Stabilities of Alkenes - The trans isomer is generally more stable than the cis isomer due to electron repulsions - The addition of hydrogen to an alkene, hydrogenation, is exothermic (heat of hydrogenation) - The greater number of attached alkyl groups, the greater the stability of an alkene 7.5 - Synthesis of Alkenes via Elimination Reactions, 7.6 - Dehydrohalogenation of Alkyl Halides How to Favor E2: - Reaction conditions that favor elimination by E1 should be avoided due to the highly competitive SN 1 mechanism - To favor E2, a secondary or tertiary alkyl halide should be used - If there is only a possibility for a primary alkyl halide, use a bulky base - Use a higher concentration of a strong and nonpolarizable base, like an alkoxide - EtONa=EtOH favors the more substituted double bond

IN THIS CHAPTER, we begin our systematic study of organic reactions and their mecha- nisms. Reaction mechanisms are step-by-step descriptions of how reactions proceed and are one of the most important unifying concepts in organic chemistry. We use the reactions of alkenes as the vehicle to introduce this concept. 129 130 CHAPTER 5 Reactions of Alkenes and Alkynes 5.1 What Are the Characteristic Reactions of Alkenes? The most characteristic reaction of alkenes is addition to the carbon–carbon double bond in such a way that the pi bond is broken and, in its place, sigma bonds are formed to two new atoms or groups of atoms. Several examples of reactions at the carbon–carbon double bond are shown in Table 5.1, along with the descriptive name(s) associated with each.

  • Synthesis of Allenes by Isomerization Reactions
    3 1 Synthesis of Allenes by Isomerization Reactions A. Stephen K. Hashmi 1.1 Introduction Isomerization reactions are associated with a change in either the connectivity (the constitution) of the molecule or the steric arrangement of atoms or groups in the molecule. However, no change of the empirical formula is involved. Thus in isomer- ization reactions leading to allenes, the 1,2-diene substructure that is characteristic of this class of compounds has to be formed by one of the following reactions (Scheme 1.1): (a) Migration of a non-cumulated p-bond into cumulation with a second p-bond. The non-cumulated p-bonds can either be an alkyne (Reaction A) or a conjugat- ed or isolated diene (Reaction B). If in Reaction A the group X = H this is a pro- totropic rearrangement; another possibility would be a sigmatropic rearrange- ment in which X typically is a two- or three-atomic unsaturated moiety. These two cases are the most important isomerization reactions leading to allenes. Another priciple that would also fall into this category would be the rearrange- ment of one allene to another. (b) Transformation of a ring (a double bond equivalent) to a p-bond by a kind of intramolecular elimination process (Reaction C) or an electrocyclic ring opening (Reaction D). (c) Another option would be the addition of an intramolecular nucleophile to a con- jugated, alkyne-containing system such as a 1,3-enyne (Reaction E) or a higher cumulene (Reaction F). (d) A substitution would only fall into the category of isomerization if it is entirely intramolecular; both the attacking and the leaving group would need to remain part of the molecule.

  • Alkynes: Molecular and Structural Formulas
    Alkynes: Molecular and Structural Formulas The alkynes comprise a series of carbon- and hydrogen-based compounds that contain at least one triple bond. This group of compounds is a homologous series with the general molecular formula of C n H2 n--2 , where n equals any integer greater than one. The simplest alkyne, ethyne (also known as acetylene), has two carbon atoms and the molecular formula of C2H2. The structural formula for ethyne is In longer alkyne chains, the additional carbon atoms are attached to each other by single covalent bonds. Each carbon atom is also attached to sufficient hydrogen atoms to produce a total of four single covalent bonds about itself. In alkynes of four or more carbon atoms, the triple bond can be located in different positions along the chain, leading to the formation of structural isomers. For example, the alkyne of molecular formula C4H6 has two isomers, Although alkynes possess restricted rotation due to the triple bond, they do not have stereoisomers like the alkenes because the bonding in a carbon-carbon triple bond is sp hybridized. In sp hybridization, the maximum separation between the hybridized orbitals is 180°, so the molecule is linear. Thus, the substituents on triple-bonded carbons are positioned in a straight line, and stereoisomers are impossible Alkynes: Nomenclature Although some common alkyne names, such as acetylene, are still found in many textbooks, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature is required for journal articles. The rules for alkynes in this system are identical with those for alkenes, except for the ending.

Williams, Zhenyang Lin,* and Guochen Jia* Department of Chemistry and Open Laboratory of Chirotechnology of the Institute of Molecular Technology for Drug Discovery and Synthesis, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong Received August 6, 2005 Summary: Treatment of OsHCl(PPh3)3 with allenes Scheme 1 CH2dCdCHR at room temperature in benzene produced the vinyl complexes OsCl(C(CH3)dCHR)(CH2dCdCHR)- 3 (PPh3)2, instead of η -allyl complexes as normally ob- served. DFT calculations show that the formation of the vinyl complex is favored kinetically. There has been great interest in transition-metal- catalyzed reactions of allenes.1,2 Insertion of allenes into M-R bonds represents one of the most important fundamental steps in catalytic reactions of allenes. In principle, allenes can undergo insertion reactions with LnM-R to give either transition-metal allyl complexes A or vinyl complexes B, as illustrated in eq 1. The plexes are now well documented. Although catalytic reactions involving insertion of allenes into M-R bonds to give vinyl intermediates were occasionally proposed,6 stoichiometric insertion reactions of allenes with well- defined LnM-R to give vinyl complexes cannot be found in the literature, to the best of our knowledge. In this insertion of allenes into M-R bonds to give allyl work, we wish to report the first examples of formation intermediates has been frequently invoked in the mech- of vinyl complexes from allene insertion reactions.
