1 Carboxylic Acid Derivatives and itriles Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: There are really only four things to worry about under this heading; acid chlorides, anhydrides, esters and amides. We ll start with the halides: Acid Chlorides Acid chlorides (or bromides) are easily prepared from carboxylic acids, and are extremely reactive. owever, they are very easy to prepare, by two common methods: 1) Thionyl Chloride (S 2 ): S 2 + S 2 + S 2 Et Et 2) xalyl chloride (a much nicer reaction!): (xalyl Chloride) + C 2 + C + -C-C- DMF / C 2 2 Why make acid chlorides? They are the fastest way to get to any other carboxylic acid derivative, or to a number of other carbonyl compounds:
2 a ' ' ' ' ' '' '' ' LiAl(t-Bu) 3 (anhydride) (ester) (amide) ' 2 CuLi ' Aromatic Compound (Ar) Al 3 Ar The mechanism for all of the above reactions (except the last [Friedel-Crafts]) is pretty much the same a nucleophile adds to the electrophilic carbonyl group, creating a tetrahedral intermediate. The electrons on oxygen then pop down, expelling the good leaving group ( - ). This type of reaction is frequently called an addition-elimination reaction: u u u Acid Anhydrides: Symmetrical anhydrides are typically made by mixing an acid under dehydrating conditions. For the most part, this is a difficult reaction to perform, and since the reactivity of anhydrides is so similar to that of acid chlorides, anhydrides are not commonly used in synthesis. There are two exceptions to this statement. First, acetic anhydride is fairly easy to prepare in bulk from dirt-cheap acetic acid, and so it is often used in place of acetyl chloride (C). Molecules which have two carboxylic acid functions in proximity often form cyclic anhydrides - these are usually fairly easy to prepare. A couple of examples are maleic anhydride and phthalic anhydride:
3 Phthalic anhydride Maleic anhydride Again, the only really commonly used anhydride is acetic anhydride. This reagent can be used to acetylate functional groups such as alcohols and amines. Acetylation can modify both the chemistry and biological activity of a compound. In the case of aspirin, for example, acetylation of the relatively acidic phenol alcohol of salicylic acid leads to a compound that doesn t dissolve your stomach lining so easily... Salicylic acid Acidic proton Acetyl salicylic acid, Aspirin (acidic proton gone!!) So, remember...anhydrides react just about like acid chlorides. Esters Preparation of Esters: This is probably the most common type of organic compounds. They are found in most biological systems (along with amides), are responsible for many smells (such as the smell of apples), and are a good way to mask an acidic proton (i.e. a form of protecting group for carboxylic acids!). There are two common ways to prepare esters. The easiest by far is the Fischer esterification. For this reaction, a carboxylic acid is dissolved in an alcohol (such as methanol), along with a few drops of. Because this reaction requires such a huge excess of the alcohol, you can imagine that this method only works for relatively cheap and readily available alcohols (methanol, ethanol, etc.): ' as solvent (catalyst) ' Another way to make esters is to turn the acid into the acid chloride, and then add the alcohol along with a small amount of base (to pick up the generated by the reaction). This reaction sequence requires only one equivalent of the alcohol, and thus is valuable in cases where the alcohol is difficult to prepare or expensive: S 2 ' Et 3 '
4 Certain esters can also be prepared by mixing the sodium or potassium salt of the acid with an alkyl halide. This reaction is of very limited scope (it only works with primary alkyl halides, but it does work particularly well with allylic and benzylic compounds), but it has some real synthetic potential, as will be discussed later. K 'Br DMF or DMS Uses of Esters: ne of the most useful aspects of esters is that they mask the acidic proton of the carboxylic acid. As you have seen, most reactions of organo-metallics (M compounds) will not work at all with carboxylic acids. owever, if we convert the acid to an ester, these reactions will take place. Furthermore, reductions frequently occur in higher yield when performed on an ester rather than an acid. Finally, esters are very common in nature, and thus are often the final goal of synthesis. MgBr LiAl 4 / 2 S 4 X Et/ 2 S 4 ' 42% yield MgBr C 3 C 3 Et LiAl 4 96% yield eactions of Esters: You have already seen many of the reactions possible with esters - reduction to primary alcohols and addition of M type reagents to form tertiary alcohols. Another common reaction is called saponification, and turns the ester back into the respective acid and alcohol. While this reaction can be done under either acidic or basic conditions, it is usually done with base. The mechanism goes something like this:
5 ' K / 2 + ' ' ' + ' The deprotonation of the acid by the alkoxide is what makes this reaction essentially irreversible. The combination of esterification / saponification is an excellent method for the formation of allylic and benzylic alcohols. You should recall that allylic or benzylic bromides are easy to prepare. The resulting primary halides are generally resistant to substitution by simple hydroxide, so typically the esterification (with potassium acetate) and saponification steps are used to produce the alcohol in excellent yields: Br BS / light (or Br 2 / light) Br K EACTI! K (in DMF, 40 C) K / 2 96% yield 100 C 100% yield Ester-Transposition - this term refers to swapping one portion of an ester for another, as shown in the schemes below (this reaction can take place under either acidic or basic conditions):
6 Et / + Et aet (large excess) These reactions are typically run in a LAGE excess of the alcohol / alcoholate to be swapped this is required because as the reaction proceeds, large amounts of the initial alcohol are produced. This whole concept will likely be more clear when I explain it during lecture. While not overly important now, this concept will be important when we discuss malonic ester chemistry in a few weeks. Amides Preparation Amides are a very common class of nitrogen-containing carbonyl compound. They are generally prepared by the reaction of an acid chloride with ammonia, or a primary or secondary amine (why not tertiary amines - think about this!): ' + ' ' + Amides are the least reactive (and thus, most stable) of the carboxylic acid derivatives. Because of the strong donation of π-electrons from the amine fragment, the amide carbonyl group is particularly unreactive: Et eactions: Like esters, amides can be hydrolyzed back to the initial carboxylic acid and amine. owever, this reaction is not often performed generally, the amide is the goal of syntheis. Your text adequately outlines the mechanism for both the basic and acidic hydrolysis of amides - you should be familiar with this.
7 A more common reaction with amides is their reduction. Unlike the reduction of acids and esters, however, the lithium aluminum hydride reduction of an amide yields an amine thus making this a synthetically useful reaction: LiAl 4 itriles Preparation Primary alkyl nitriles are generally prepared by the reaction of potassium or sodium cyanide with a primary alkyl halide. Secondary and tertiary nitriles cannot be formed by this route, and are thus made by the dehydration of an amide (usually with S 2, but occasionally also with P 2 5 ): KC S 2 Br C C 2 heat eactions As you have already seen that nitriles can be hydrolyzed to amides and carboxylic acids quite readily. Your text provides a good description of the mechanism. _ C _ C _ C _ C _ C therwise, nitriles behave quite similarly to the carbonyl compounds. The nitrile carbon is electrophilic, and the nitrogen can easily stabilize a negative charge. The nitrile nitrogen is also easily protonated. reduction: Like amides, nitriles are reduced in LiAl 4 to primary amines. The reaction is quite clean, usually affording the amine in >80% yield. owever, because nitriles are often made from amides, it is often easier to convert the amide to the amine, rather than go through the nitrile. The only real exception to this is in the preparation of amino acids, which we shall discuss in the weeks to come. By using a weaker reducing agent, it is possible to stop reduction after the addition of only one hydride, leaving an imine. As you recall, imines are usually prepared by reacting an amine with a ketone or aldehyde - it is not surprising, then, that this imine can be hydrolyzed to an aldehyde. Again remember that there are usually easier ways to make aldehydes:
8 C 1) LiAl 4 2) ) DIBAL- (-78 C) 2) 2 And yes, you can also add Grignard reagents to nitriles. In this case, you also end up with an imine which is in this case hydrolyzed to a ketone. And again remember, there are other ways to make the same ketones (i.e. you only have to remember one route...) C C 3 + / 2 KC 1) EtMgBr Et 2) 3 + Br Et 1) Mg then C 2 S 2 2) 3 + Et 2 CuLi
