19 19-2 Enolate Anions Chapter 18 Chapter 19
3
19 19-3 Enolate Anions Enolate anions are nucleophiles in S N 2 reactions and carbonyl addition reactions
4
19 19-4 The Aldol Reaction The most important reaction of an enolate anion is nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl group of another molecule of the same or different compound Although these reactions may be catalyzed by either acid or base, base catalysis is more common
5
19 19-5 The Aldol Reaction The product of an aldol reaction is a -hydroxyaldehyde or a -hydroxyketone
6
19 19-6 The Aldol Reaction: base A three-step mechanism Step 1: formation of a resonance-stabilized enolate anion Step 2: the enolate anion adds to the carbonyl group of another carbonyl-containing molecule to give a TCAI Step 3: proton transfer to O - completes the aldol reaction
7
19 19-7 The Aldol Reaction: acid Step 1: acid-catalyzed equilibration of keto and enol forms Step 2: proton transfer from HA to the carbonyl group of a second molecule of aldehyde or ketone
8
19 19-8 The Aldol Reaction: acid Step 3: attack of the enol of one molecule on the protonated carbonyl group of another molecule Step 4: proton transfer to A - completes the reaction
9
19 19-9 The Aldol Products: -H 2 O Aldol products are very easily dehydrated to an , - unsaturated aldehyde or ketone aldol reactions are reversible and often little aldol present at equilibrium K eq for dehydration is generally large if reaction conditions bring about dehydration, good yields of product can be obtained
10
19 19-10 Crossed Aldol Reactions In a crossed aldol reaction, one kind of molecule provides the enolate anion and another kind provides the carbonyl group
11
19 19-11 Crossed Aldol Reactions Crossed aldol reactions are most successful if one of the reactants has no -hydrogen and, therefore, cannot form an enolate anion and the other reactant has a more reactive carbonyl group, namely an aldehyde
12
19 19-12 Aldol Reactions Intramolecular aldol reactions are most successful for formation of five- and six- membered rings
13
19 19-13 Aldol Reactions in this example, a six-membered ring forms in preference to a four-membered ring
14
19 19-14 Aldol Reactions The -hydrogens of nitroalkanes are removed by strong bases such as KOH and NaOH
15
19 19-15 The Aldol Reaction Reduction of a nitro group gives a 1° amine
16
19 19-16 Directed Aldol Reactions Kinetic vs thermodynamic control when alkali metal hydroxides or alkoxides are used as bases, the position of equilibrium for formation of enolate anions favors reactants
17
19 19-17 Directed Aldol Reactions With stronger bases, however, the formation of enolate anion can be driven to the right One of the most widely used bases for this purpose is lithium diisopropylamide, LDA LDA is a very strong base but, because of crowding around nitrogen, is a poor nucleophile
18
19 19-18 Directed Aldol Reactions With 1 mole of LDA, an aldehyde, ketone, or ester is converted completely to its enolate anion
19
19 19-19 Lithium Enolate Anions For a ketone with two different sets of - hydrogens, is formation of the enolate anion regioselective? The answer depends on experimental conditions when a slight excess of LDA, a ketone is converted to its lithium enolate anion, which consists almost entirely of the less substituted enolate anion kinetic controlthis reaction is said to be under kinetic control for a reaction under kinetic control, the composition of the product mixture is determined by the relative rates of formation of each product
20
19 19-20 Kinetic Control with slight excess of LDA for formation of lithium enolates, kinetic control refers to the rates of removal of alternative -hydrogens
21
19 19-21 Thermodynamic Control thermodynamic control In a reaction under thermodynamic control: reaction conditions permit equilibration of alternative products under equilibrium conditions, the composition of the product mixture is determined by their relative stabilities with the ketone in slight excess, the lithium enolate is richer in the more substituted enolate anion
22
19 19-22 Directed Aldol Reactions Consider the crossed aldol reaction between phenylacetaldehyde and acetone each reactant has -hydrogens and a mixture of four aldol products is possible
23
19 19-23 Directed Aldol Reactions the desired reaction can be carried out by preforming the lithium enolate anion of acetone and treating it with benzaldehyde
24
19 19-24 Claisen Condensation Esters also form enolate anions which participate in nucleophilic acyl substitution the product of a Claisen condensation is a -ketoester
25
19 19-25 Claisen Condensation Claisen condensation of ethyl propanoate gives this -ketoester
26
19 19-26 Claisen Condensation Step 1: formation of an enolate anion
27
19 19-27 Claisen Condensation Step 2: attack of the enolate anion on a carbonyl carbon gives a TCAI Step 3: collapse of the TCAI gives a -ketoester and an alkoxide ion
28
19 19-28 Claisen Condensation Step 4: formation of the enolate anion of the -ketoester drives the Claisen condensation to the right
29
19 19-29 Dieckman Condensation An intramolecular Claisen condensation
30
19 19-30 Crossed Claisen Condsns Crossed Claisen condensations between two different esters, each with -hydrogens, give mixtures of products and are not useful Useful crossed Claisen condensations are possible, however, if there is an appreciable difference in reactivity between the two esters, e.g., when one of them has no -hydrogens
31
19 19-31 Crossed Claisen Condsns the ester with no -hydrogens is generally used in excess
32
19 19-32 Hydrolysis and -CO 2
33
19 19-33 Claisen Condensation The result of Claisen condensation, saponification, acidification, and decarboxylation is a ketone
34
19 19-34 From Acetyl Coenzyme A Carbonyl condensations are among the most widely used reactions in the biological world for formation of new carbon-carbon bonds in such biomolecules as fatty acids cholesterol, bile acids, and steroid hormones terpenes One source of carbon atoms for the synthesis of these biomolecules is acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl- CoA)
35
19 19-35 Acetyl-CoA Claisen condensation of acetyl-CoA is catalyzed by the enzyme thiolase
36
19 19-36 Acetyl-CoA this is followed by an aldol reaction with a second molecule of acetyl-CoA
37
19 19-37 Acetyl-CoA enzyme-catalyzed reduction of the thioester group phosphorylation by ATP followed by -elimination
38
19 19-38 Acetyl-CoA isopentenyl pyrophosphate has the carbon skeleton of isoprene and is a key intermediate in the synthesis of these classes of biomolecules
39
19 19-39 Enamines Enamines are formed by the reaction of a 2° amine with the carbonyl group of an aldehyde or ketone the 2° amines most commonly used to prepare enamines are pyrrolidine and morpholine
40
19 19-40 Enamines examples
41
19 19-41 Enamines the value of enamines is that the -carbon is nucleophilic and resembles enols and enolate anions in its reactions
42
19 19-42 Enamines - Alkylation Enamines undergo S N 2 reactions with methyl and 1° alkyl halides, -haloketones, and -haloesters Step 1: treatment of the enamine with one equivalent of an alkylating agent gives an iminium halide
43
19 19-43 Enamines - Alkylation Step 2: hydrolysis of the iminium halide gives an alkylated aldehyde or ketone
44
19 19-44 Enamines - Acylation Enamines undergo acylation when treated with acid chlorides and acid anhydrides the reaction is an example of nucleophilic acyl substitution
45

47

49
19 19-49 Acetoacetic Ester Synth. to prepare a disubstituted acetone, treat the monoalkylated AAE with a second mole of base
50
19 19-50 Malonic Ester Synthesis The strategy of a malonic ester (ME) synthesis is identical to that of an acetoacetic ester synthesis, except that the starting material is a - diester rather than a -ketoester
