Modern Organic Synthesis an Introduction Chapter 1 Synthetic Modern Organic Synthesis an Introduction G. S. Zweifel M. H. Nantz W.H. Freeman and Company Chapter 1 Synthetic Design • What is an ideal or viable synthesis, and how does one approach a synthetic project? • The overriding concern in a synthesis is the yield, including the inherent concepts of simplicity (fewest steps) and selectivity (chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, diastereoselectivity, and enantioselectivity). • This chapter outlines strategies for the synthesis of target molecules based on retrosynthetic analysis. 1 1.1 Retrosynthetic Analysis Basic Concept The symbol signifies a reverse synthetic step and is called atransform. The main transforms are disconnections, or cleavage of C-C bonds, and functional group interconversions (FGI) Retrosynthetic analysis involves the disassembly of a TM into available starting materials by sequential disconnections and functional group interconversions(FGI). Synthons are fragments resulting from disconnection of carbon-carbon bonds of the TM. The actual substrates used for the forward synthesis are the synthetic equivalents (SE). Synthetic design involves two distinct steps (1) Retrosynthetic analysis (2) Subsequent translation of the analysis into a “forward direction” synthesis. Chemical bonds can be cleaved heterolytically, homolytically, or through concerted transform. 2 Donor and Acceptor Synthons Acceptor synthon Æ carbocation (electrophilic) Donor synthon Æ carbanion (nucleophilic) Table 1.1 Common Acceptor Synthon Synthetic equivalents Common Acceptor Synthon Synthetic equivalents 3 Table 1.2 Common Donor Synthons Common Donor Synthon Synthetic equivalents Retrosynthetic Analysis A Synthesis A 4 Retrosynthetic Analysis B Synthesis B Alternating Polarity Disconnections The presence of a heteroatom in a molecule imparts a pattern of electrophilicity and nucleophilicity to the atom of the molecule. The concept of alternating polarities or latent polarities (imaginary chargies) often enables one to identify the best positions to make a disconnection within a complex molecule. Functional groups may be classified as follows. E class: Groups conferring electrophilic character to the attached carbon (+): -NH2, -OH, -OR, =O, =NR, -X (halogens) G class: Groups conferring nucleophilic character to the attached carbon (-): -Li, -MgX, -AlR2, -SiR3 A class: Functional groups that exhibit ambivalent character (+ or -): -BR2, C=CR2, CCR3, -NO2, N, -SR, -S(O)R, -SO2R 5 Consonant Pattern: Positive charge are placed at carbon atom bonded to the E class groups. Dissonant Pattern: One E class is bonded to a carbon with a positive charge, whereas the other E class group resides on a carbon with a negative charge. Alternating Polarity Disconnections Consonant Simple synthesis Dissonant One Functional Group Analysis 6 Synthesis Two Functional Groups In a 1,3-Relationship Analysis 7 Synthesis (path a) Synthesis (path b) 8 Two Functional Groups in 1,4-Relationship The α-carbon in this synthon requires an inversion of polarity (umpolung in German) from the negative (-) polarity normally associated with a ketone α-carbon. Analysis α-bromoketone Enolate cannot be used because of the formation of an epoxy ketone (Darzens condensation). Instead, enamine is used.

Unnatural negatively negative charge charged c carboxylic synthon Since formyl and acyl anions are not accessible, one has to use synthetic equivalents of these anions. Umpolung in a synthesis usually requires extra steps.

But without HMPA, 1,2-addition to the carbonyl group prevails. 14 Acylanions derived from Nitroalkanes CH3NO2, pKa 10.2; CH3CH2NO2, pKa 8.5 Nitronates of primary nitro compounds yield carboxylic acid.

After accomplishing its role, the activating group is removed. 24 •The presence of a 1,6-dioxygenated compound suggests opening of a six-membered ring. A variety of cyclohexene precursors are readily available via condensation and Diels-Alder reaction or via Birch reductions of aromatic compounds. • Disconnection of an internal (E)- or (Z)-double bond or a side chain of an alkene suggests a Wittig-type reaction or an alkylation of a vinylcuprate, respectively. 25 • The presence of a six-membered ring, especially a cyclohexene derivative, suggests a Diels-Alder reaction. • The structural feature of an α,β-unsaturated ketone or a β-hydroxy ketone in a six-membered ring suggests double disconnection coupled with functional group interconversions.

  • Philosophy of Science and Philosophy of Chemistry
    Philosophy of Science and Philosophy of Chemistry Jaap van Brakel Abstract: In this paper I assess the relation between philosophy of chemistry and (general) philosophy of science, focusing on those themes in the philoso- phy of chemistry that may bring about major revisions or extensions of cur- rent philosophy of science. Three themes can claim to make a unique contri- bution to philosophy of science: first, the variety of materials in the (natural and artificial) world; second, extending the world by making new stuff; and, third, specific features of the relations between chemistry and physics. Keywords : philosophy of science, philosophy of chemistry, interdiscourse relations, making stuff, variety of substances . 1. Introduction Chemistry is unique and distinguishes itself from all other sciences, with respect to three broad issues: • A (variety of) stuff perspective, requiring conceptual analysis of the notion of stuff or material (Sections 4 and 5). • A making stuff perspective: the transformation of stuff by chemical reaction or phase transition (Section 6). • The pivotal role of the relations between chemistry and physics in connection with the question how everything fits together (Section 7). All themes in the philosophy of chemistry can be classified in one of these three clusters or make contributions to general philosophy of science that, as yet , are not particularly different from similar contributions from other sci- ences (Section 3). I do not exclude the possibility of there being more than three clusters of philosophical issues unique to philosophy of chemistry, but I am not aware of any as yet. Moreover, highlighting the issues discussed in Sections 5-7 does not mean that issues reviewed in Section 3 are less im- portant in revising the philosophy of science.

This results in a considerably reduced reactivity towards nucleophiles. Accordingly, a perception has been developed of amides as significantly less useful functional handles than their ester and acid chloride counterparts.

Received: 30 July 2013; in revised form: 14 September 2013 / Accepted: 16 September 2013 / Published: 26 September 2013 Abstract: The 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase complexes (ODHc) consist of multiple copies of three enzyme components: E1, a 2-oxoacid decarboxylase; E2, dihydrolipoyl acyl-transferase; and E3, dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase, that together catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxoacids, in the presence of thiamin diphosphate (ThDP), coenzyme A 2+ + (CoA), Mg and NAD , to generate CO2, NADH and the corresponding acyl-CoA. The structural scaffold of the complex is provided by E2, with E1 and E3 bound around the periphery. The three principal members of the family are pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDHc), 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDHc) and branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase (BCKDHc). In this review, we report application of NMR-based approaches to both mechanistic and structural issues concerning these complexes. These studies revealed the nature and reactivity of transient intermediates on the enzymatic pathway and provided site-specific information on the architecture and binding specificity of the domain interfaces using solubilized truncated domain constructs of the multi-domain E2 component in its interactions with the E1 and E3 components.
