10-1 10 Organic Chemistry William H. Brown & Christopher S. Foote
2
10-2 10 Alkynes Chapter 10
3
10-3 10 Nomenclature yn IUPAC: use the infix -yn- to show the presence of a carbon-carbon triple bond Common names: prefix the substituents on the triple bond to the name “acetylene”
4
10-4 10 Cycloalkynes The smallest cycloalkyne isolated is cyclononyne the C-C-C bond angle about the triple bond is approximately 156°
5
10-5 10 Physical Properties Similar to alkanes and alkenes of comparable molecular weight and carbon skeleton
6
10-6 10 Acidity A major difference between the chemistry of alkynes and that of alkenes and alkanes is the acidity of the hydrogen bonded to a triply bonded carbon (Section 4.4E) the pK a of acetylene is approximately 25, which makes it a stronger acid than ammonia but weaker than alcohols
7
10-7 10 Acidity Acetylene reacts with sodium amide to form sodium acetylide it can also be converted to its metal salt by reaction with sodium hydride or lithium diisopropylamide (LDA)
8
10-8 10 Acidity Water is a stronger acid than acetylene; hydroxide ion is not a strong enough base to convert acetylene to its anion
9
10-9 10 Alkylation of Acetylides Acetylide anions are both strong bases and good nucleophiles They undergo S N 2 reactions with alkyl halides, tosylates, and mesylates to form new C-C bonds to alkyl groups; that is, they undergo alkylation because acetylide anions are also strong bases, alkylation is practical only with methyl and 1° halides with 2° and 3° halides, E2 is the major reaction.
10
10-10 10 Alkylation of Acetylides Alkylation of acetylide anions is the most convenient method for the synthesis of terminal alkynes
11
10-11 10 Alkylation of Acetylides Alkylation can be repeated and a terminal alkyne can be converted to an internal alkyne
12
10-12 10 Alkylation of Acetylides With 2° and 3° alkyl halides, E2 is the major reaction
13
10-13 10 Preparation Treatment of a vicinal dibromoalkane with two moles of base, most commonly sodium amide, results in two successive E2 reactions and formation of an alkyne
14
10-14 10 Preparation Alkynes are also prepared by double dehydrohalogenation of geminal dihalides
15
10-15 10 Preparation An alkene can be converted to an alkyne for a terminal alkene to a terminal alkyne, 3 moles of NaNH 2 are required for an internal alkene to an internal alkyne, only 2 moles of NaNH 2 are required
16
10-16 10 Preparation A side product may be an allene, a compound containing adjacent carbon-carbon double bonds, C=C=C
17
10-17 10 Allenes Most allenes are less stable than their isomeric alkynes, and are generally only minor products in alkyne-forming dehydrohalogenation reactions
18
10-18 10 Reduction Treatment of an alkyne with hydrogen in the presence of a transition metal catalyst, most commonly Pd, Pt, or Ni, converts the alkyne to an alkane
19
10-19 10 Reduction With the Lindlar catalyst, reduction stops at addition of one mole of H 2 this reduction shows syn stereoselectivity
20
10-20 10 Reduction Reduction of an alkyne with Na or Li in liquid ammonia converts an alkyne to an alkene with anti stereoselectivity
21
10-21 10 Na/NH 3 (l) Reduction Step 1: a one-electron reduction of the alkyne gives a radical anion Step 2: an acid-base reaction gives an alkenyl radical and amide ion
22
10-22 10 Na/NH 3 (l) Reduction Step 3: a second one-electron reduction gives an alkenyl anion. this step establishes the configuration of the alkene a trans alkenyl anion is more stable than its cis isomer Step 4: a second acid-base reaction gives the trans alkene
23
10-23 10 Hydroboration Addition of borane to an internal alkynes gives a trialkenylborane Treatment of a trialkenylborane with acetic acid results in stereoselective replacement of B by H
24
10-24 10 Hydroboration To prevent dihydroboration with terminal alkynes, it is necessary to use a sterically hindered dialkylborane, such as (sia) 2 BH
25
10-25 10 Hydroboration Treatment of a terminal alkyne with (sia) 2 BH results stereospecific and regioselective hydroboration
26
10-26 10 Hydroboration Treatment of an alkenylborane with H 2 O 2 in aqueous NaOH gives an enol
27
10-27 10 Hydroboration Enol: Enol: a compound containing an OH group on one carbon of a C=C The enol is in equilibrium with a compound formed by migration of a hydrogen atom from oxygen to carbon and the double bond from C=C to C=O tautomers tautomerism The enol and keto forms are tautomers and their interconversion is called tautomerism the keto form generally predominates at equilibrium we discuss keto-enol tautomerism in detail in Section 16.11
28
10-28 10 Hydroboration Hydroboration/oxidation of an internal alkyne gives a ketone
29
10-29 10 Hydroboration Hydroboration/oxidation of a terminal alkyne gives an aldehyde
30
10-30 10 Addition of X 2 Alkynes add one mole of bromine to give a dibromoalkene addition shows anti stereoselectivity
31
10-31 10 Addition of X 2 The intermediate in bromination of an alkyne is a bridged bromonium ion
32
10-32 10 Addition of HX Alkynes undergo regioselective addition of first one mole of HX and then a second mole to give a dibromoalkane
33
10-33 10 Addition of HX the intermediate in addition of HX is a 2° vinylic carbocation reaction of the vinylic cation with halide ion gives the product
34
10-34 10 Addition of H 2 O:hydration In the presence of sulfuric acid and Hg(II) salts, alkynes undergo addition of water
35
10-35 10 Addition of H 2 O:hydration Step 1: attack of Hg 2+ gives a bridged mercurinium ion intermediate, which contains a three-center, two- electron bond Step 2: water attacks the bridged mercurinium ion intermediate from the side opposite the bridge
36
10-36 10 Addition of H 2 O:hydration Step 3: proton transfer to solvent Step 4: tautomerism of the enol gives the keto form
37
10-37 10 Addition of H 2 O:hydration Step 5: proton transfer to the carbonyl oxygen gives an oxonium ion Steps 6 and 7: loss of Hg 2+ gives an enol; tautomerism of the enol gives the ketone
38
10-38 10 Organic Synthesis A successful synthesis must provide the desired product in maximum yield have the maximum control of stereochemistry and regiochemistry do minimum damage to the environment (it must be a “green” synthesis) Our strategy will be to work backwards from the target molecule
39
10-39 10 Organic Synthesis We analyze a target molecule in the following ways the carbon skeleton: how can we put it together. Our only method to date for forming new a C-C bond is the alkylation of acetylide anions (Section 10.5) the functional groups: what are they, how can they be used in forming the carbon-skeleton of the target molecule, and how can they be changed to give the functional groups of the target molecule
40
10-40 10 Organic Synthesis We use a method called a retrosynthesis and use an open arrow to symbolize a step in a retrosynthesis Retrosynthesis: Retrosynthesis: a process of reasoning backwards from a target molecule to a set of suitable starting materials
