Ethers and Epoxides; Thiols and Sulfides

2 Symetrical Ethers Diethyl ether prepared industrially by sulfuric acid– catalyzed dehydration of ethanol – also with other primary alcohols

Based on McMurry, Organic Chemistry, Chapter 18, 6th edition, (c) The Williamson Ether Synthesis Reaction of metal alkoxides and primary alkyl-LG Good method for the preparation of unsymmetrical ethers Alkoxides prepared by reaction of an alcohol with a strong base such as sodium hydride, NaH

4 Silver Oxide-Catalyzed Ether Formation Reaction of alcohols with Ag 2 O directly with alkyl halide forms ether in one step Glucose reacts with excess iodomethane in the presence of Ag 2 O to generate a pentaether in 85% yield

5 Alkoxymercuration of Alkenes React alkene with an alcohol and mercuric acetate or trifluoroacetate Demercuration with NaBH 4 yields an ether Overall Markovnikov addition of alcohol to alkene

6 Reactions of Ethers: Acidic Cleavage Ethers are generally unreactive Strong acid will cleave an ether at elevated temperature HI, HBr produce an alkyl halide from less hindered component by S N 2 (tertiary ethers undergo S N 1)

7 Reactions of Ethers: Claisen Rearrangement Specific to allyl aryl ethers, ArOCH 2 CH=CH 2 Heating to 200–250°C leads to an o-allylphenol Result is alkylation of the phenol in an ortho position

8 Claisen Rearrangement Mechanism Concerted pericyclic 6-electron, 6-membered ring transition state Mechanism consistent with 14 C labelling

9 Cyclic Ethers: Epoxides Cyclic ethers behave like acyclic ethers, except if ring is 3-membered Dioxane and tetrahydrofuran are used as solvents

10 Epoxides (Oxiranes) Three membered ring ether is called an oxirane Also called epoxides Ethylene oxide (oxirane; 1,2-epoxyethane) is industrially important as an intermediate Prepared by reaction of ethylene with oxygen at 300 °C and silver oxide catalyst

11 Preparation of Epoxides Using a Peroxyacid Treat an alkene with a peroxyacid

12 Epoxides from Halohydrins Addition of HO-X to an alkene gives a halohydrin Treatment of a halohydrin with base gives an epoxide Intramolecular Williamson ether synthesis

13 Ring-Opening Reactions of Epoxides Water adds to epoxides with dilute acid at room temperature Product is a 1,2-diol (on adjacent C’s: vicinal) Mechanism: acid protonates oxygen and water adds to opposite side (trans addition)

14 Halohydrins from Epoxides Anhydrous HF, HBr, HCl, or HI combines with an epoxide Gives trans product

15 Regiochemistry of Acid-Catalyzed Opening of Epoxides Unsymmetrical will give mixtures (SN2 vs SN1 mixtures) under acidic conditions

16 Base-Catalyzed Epoxide Opening SN2 predominates - Strain of the three-membered ring is relieved on ring-opening Hydroxide cleaves epoxides at elevated temperatures to give trans 1,2-diols

17 Addition of Grignards to Ethylene Oxide Adds –CH 2 CH 2 OH to the Grignard reagent’s hydrocarbon chain Acyclic and other larger ring ethers do not react

18 Thiols and Sulfides Thiols (RSH), are sulfur analogs of alcohols Named with the suffix -thiol SH group is called “mercapto group” (“capturer of mercury”)

19 Thiols: Formation and Reaction From alkyl halides by displacement with a sulfur nucleophile such as  SH The alkylthiol product can undergo further reaction with the alkyl halide to give a symmetrical sulfide, giving a poorer yield of the thiol

20 Using Thiourea to Form Alkylthiols Thiols can undergo further reaction with the alkyl halide to give dialkyl sulfides For a pure alkylthiol use thiourea (NH2(C=S)NH 2 ) as the nucleophile This gives an intermediate alkylisothiourea salt, which is hydrolyzed cleanly to the alkyl thiourea

21 Oxidation of Thiols to Disulfides Reaction of an alkyl thiol (RSH) with bromine or iodine gives a disulfide (RSSR) The thiol is oxidized in the process and the halogen is reduced

22 Sulfides as Nucleophiles Sulfur compounds are more nucleophilic than their oxygen-compound analogs 3p electrons valence electrons (on S) are less tightly held than 2p electrons (on O) Sulfides react with primary alkyl halides (S N 2) to give trialkylsulfonium salts (R 3 S + )

23 Oxidation of Sulfides Sulfides are easily oxidized with H 2 O 2 to the sulfoxide (R 2 SO) Oxidation of a sulfoxide with a peroxyacid yields a sulfone (R 2 SO 2 ) Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is often used as a polar aprotic solvent

24 Spectroscopy of Ethers Infrared: C–O single-bond stretching 1050 to 1150 cm  1 overlaps many other absorptions. Proton NMR: H on a C next to ether O are shifted downfield to  3.4 to  4.5 The 1 H NMR spectrum of dipropyl ether shows the these signals at  3.4 In epoxides, these H’s absorb at  2.5 to  3.5 d in their 1 H NMR spectra Carbon NMR: C’s in ethers exhibit a downfield shift to  50 to  80
