  • 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).

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.

  • Synthesis and Chemistry of Indole
    Synthesis and Chemistry of Indole 1. Introduction: ➢ Indole is a benzo[b]pyrrole formed by the fusion of benzene ring to the 2,3 positions of pyrrole nucleus. ➢ The word “Indole” is derived from the word India, as the heterocycle was first isolated from a blue dye “Indigo” produced in India during sixteenth century. ➢ In 1886, Adolf Baeyer isolated Indole by the pyrolysis of oxindole with Zn dust. Oxindole was originally obtained by the reduction of isatin, which in turn was isolated by the oxidation of Indigo. ➢ Commercially indole is produced from coal tar ➢ Indole is the most widely distributed heterocyle ➢ Indole nucleus is an integral part of thousands of naturally occurring alkaloids, drugs and other compounds. By Dr. Divya Kushwaha 2. Synthesis of Indole 2.1. Fischer Indole Synthesis: ➢ This reaction was discovered in 1983 by Emil Fischer and so far remained the most extensively used method of preparation of indoles. ➢ The synthesis involves cyclization of arylhydrazones under heating conditions in presence of protic acid or lewis acids such as ZnCl2, PCl3, FeCl3, TsOH, HCl, H2SO4, PPA etc. ➢ The starting material arylhydrazoles can be obtained from aldehydes, ketones, keto acids, keto esters and diketones etc. ➢ Reaction produces 2,3-disubtituted products. Unsymmetrical ketones can give a mixture of indoles. 2.2 Madelung Synthesis: ➢ Base catalyzed cyclization of 2-(acylamino)-toluenes under very harsh conditions (typically sodium amide or potassium t-butoxide at 250-300oC). ➢ Limited to the synthesis of simple indoles such as 2-methyl indoles without having any sensitive groups. By Dr. Divya Kushwaha Mechanism: ➢ A modern variant of madelung reaction is performed under milder conditions by the use of alkyllithiums as bases.

  • (Rmgx) Problem Set You Will Be Using Grignard Reagents Throughout This Course to Make Carbon-Carbon Bonds
    CHEM 341 Problem Set 18 Problem Set 10/27/17 Grignard (RMgX) Problem Set You will be using Grignard reagents throughout this course to make carbon-carbon bonds. Making Grignard Reagents: Molecules containing a carbon halogen bond can be transformed into a Grignard reagent. Iodides react faster than bromides. Bromides react faster than chlorides. Fluorides react very slowly to form Grignards and are in general not used. Bromides are the most widely used because they balance good reactivity while not as high of cost as iodides. To make a Grignard reagent, simply add magnesium metal and diethyl ether to a molecule containing a carbon halogen bond. The magnesium will insert itself between the carbon halogen bond. (The actual mechanism probably involves unpaired electrons, but I will never ask for that mechanism) Mg R X R MgX O Grignards are highly reactive compounds. First, and foremost, they are REALLY, REALLY STRONG BASES. DO NOT FORGET THIS!!!!! Grignards are essentially carbanions. They will react with acidic protons such as OH’s, NH’s, SH’s, and terminal alkynes. So, the Grignard reagent cannot have an acidic hydrogen on it. Second, they will react with carbon nitrogen or carbon oxygen pi bonds. Grignards cannot have carbonyls or nitriles. They also cannot contain epoxides. Third, they cannot have a leaving group (even a poor one like OMe) attached to the same carbon next to the halogen. Such Grignards eliminate to give alkenes. Examples of Bad Grignard Reagents MgCl MgBr MeO HO MgBr 1.) Circle the following molecules that can be made into a Grignard reagent.
