What compound will be obtained from the reaction shown below? A) B) C)D) Question
CH CH 3 (CH 2 ) 3 C + CH 3 CH 2 MgBr CMgBr CH 3 (CH 2 ) 3 C + CH 3 CH 3 diethyl ether 1. H 2 C O 2. H 3 O + CCH 2 OH CH 3 (CH 2 ) 3 C (82%) Using Acetylenic Grignard Reagents
Consider the reaction below. Why won’t it work? The alcohol can act as an acid, especially in the presence of reactive reagents like the Grignard reagent. The alcohol must be protected to prevent it from reacting. Protection of Alcohols
A three-step process is required to achieve synthesis of the targeted diol. Protection of Alcohols There are many different “protecting” groups for each of the various functions. Each must be easily added and easily removed.
The protection step requires the presence of a base. Protection of Alcohols (TMS)
Protection of Alcohols TMS is removed with H 3 O + or with F –, which comes from TBAF. H 3 O + or SEE: CONCEPTUAL CHECKPOINT 13.18
