4 Chem 350 Jasperse Ch. 10 andouts ,2 Intro, Classification Alcohol : attached to a saturated, sp 3, alkyl carbon 1º, 2º, 3º Alcohols: based on whether the carbon with the is 1º, 2º, or 3º 3º 2º 1º enol : attached to an aromatic -Note: phenol, not phenyl phenol 4-phenyl-1-butene phenyl, as substituent Enol or vinyl alcohol : attached to an alkene enol or vinyl alcohol Problem: Classify each of the following either as a phenol, as a carboxylic acid, or as a 1º, 2º, 3º, or vinyl alcohol: phenol vinyl alcohol 2º alcohol 3º alcohol 1º alcohol carboxylic acid 10.3 Nomenclature A. IUPAC, when alcohol is priority functional group and is part of the core name: x-alkanol Choose longest carbon chain that has the attached emember to number! The oxygen itself does not count as a number Cl Cl 4,4-dichloro-2-propyl-1-pentanol 4-ethyl-3-heptanol B. Cycloalkanols: The -carbon is automatically Number 1 cis-2-allylcyclohexanol

5 Chem 350 Jasperse Ch. 10 andouts 5 C. x-alken-z-ol. When an alkene is in the main carbon chain, you need two number descriptors, one for the alkene, the second for the alcohol. The still dictates the numbering The number gets moved right before the ol The alkene number goes in front, in front of the alken portion Note: you only put the number right in front of the ol when you have an alkenol (or alkynol) D. Diols: x,y-alkanediol (E)-4-hexen-2-ol or trans-4-hexen-2-ol 1,4-pentanediol E. Functional Group Priority: C 2 > C= > > amine > alkene > halide When you have more than one functional group, the higher priority dictates the numbering The higher priority is used in the core name The lower priority group may be forced to be named as a substituent F. as a Substituent: ydroxy 3-hydroxycyclohexanone G. Common Names: Alkyl alcohol C 3 Methyl alcohol Isopropyl alcohol t-butyl alcohol. Substituted enols IUPAC: use numbers, with carbon #1 Common: o rtho: 2-position, adjacent o Meta: 3-position, two carbons away o Para: 4 position Skill: be able to use or recognize either system Br IUPAC: 2-bromophenol 3-vinylphenol 4-isopropylphenol Common ortho-bromophenol or meta-vinylphenol or para-isopropylphenol o-bromophenol m-vinylphenol or p-isopropylphenol

Alcohols are weak acids! can be ionized by stronger bases + B + B goes to the right (alkoxide) only if is more stable than B ex. N 2, C 3 ex. If a less stable oxygen anion can convert to a more stable oxygen anion

Memorize/understand neutral acidity ranking: C 2 > 2 > eason: resonance stabilization of the anion 3. Predict deprotonation (acid/base) reactions Any weak acid will be deprotonated by a stronger base (lower on table) Any weak acid will not be deprotonated by a weaker base (higher on table) 4. Predict ether/water extraction problems If an organic chemical is neutral and stays neutral, it will stay in ether layer If an organic chemical is ionized (by an acid-base reaction), it will extract into the aqueous layer Problems Draw arrow to show whether equilibrium favors products or reactants. (Why?) esonance Stability 2.

9 Chem 350 Jasperse Ch. 10 andouts rganometallics: M (M = Metal) = M 3 Br Br Mg 2Li MgBr "Grignard eagent" Li + LiBr -Li is analogous for making Li, which also act analogously. -MgBr is spectator: is key. We will focus on the magnesium reagents MgBr 2. MgBr = Grignard eagents (Victor Grignard) 3. Key: This is the way to make, strong nucleophiles/bases 4. MgBr are formed via redox reaction. Mg gives up two electrons, is oxidized Bromine is reduced to bromide anion Carbon is reduced to carbanion Br + Mg + Br + Mg + Br + Mg 2+ Not for Test 5. The formation of Grignard eagents is completely general for all -alides: 3º, 2º, and 1º alkyl halides all work well Aryl and Vinyl halides as well as alkyl halides work well Cl, Br, and I all work well For class, we will normally use bromides, due to synthetic accessibility 6. View as carbanions: MgBr = Super Strong Bases and Nucleophiles The counterion metal is a spectator Stability-reactivity principle: very unstable! very reactive This great reactivity is very useful (as nucleophile) This great reactivity (as base) has implication for proper technical use (see following) 7. Solvent and handling: Grignard reactants MgBr must be made, stored, and handled in special solvents under special conditions: No water allowed o + 2! - + Destroys carbanion No alcohol or amines or acids allowed either, or carbanion will just deprotonate them too If any chemicals with carbonyls are present, they too will react with the carbanion by nucleophile/electrophile reaction + o Grignards and other organometallics are made in either alkane or ether solvents. o These don t have any acidic hydrogens that protonate carbanions. o These don t have any carbonyls that react with carbanions 8. Two perspectives for dealing with organometallics in general and MgBr in particular anistic Thinking: Predict-the-product thinking: -MgBr: easier to see source and substitution product.

' 3º alcohol 7 ester (or carbonyl chloride) 'MgBr ' ' 3º alcohol 'MgBr C ' ' 3º alcohol At least 2 groups must be the same Pattern: After reaction, the original carbonyl carbon will have one and only one C- single bond 2. For formaldehyde, aldehydes, and ketones, one group adds (reactions 4-6) 3. For esters or carbonyl chlorides ( acid chlorides ), two groups add o eplace not only the carbonyl p-bond, but also the extra C- or C-Cl single bond 4. Product output: o Formaldehyde (2 s)! 1º alcohol o Aldehyde (1 )! 2º alcohol o Ketone (0 )! 3º alcohol. No need for all 3 attachments to be the same. o Ester (0 )! 3º alcohol. At least two common attachments at end.

11 Chem 350 Jasperse Ch. 10 andouts 11 Predicting Grignard eaction Products From carbonyl perspective: The carbanion adds to the carbonyl carbon The carbonyl = gets replaced by For formaldehyde, aldehydes, and ketones: the two attachments on the original carbonyl carbon remain attached as spectators For esters or acid chlorides: the one non-heteroatom attachment on the original carbonyl carbon remain attached as spectators. o The extra heteroatom gets replaced by a second carbanion 2. From Grignard perspective: Where -MgBr begins, -C- ends. o In other words, the MgBr gets replaced by the carbonyl carbon Note: Be sure that in the product, no carbon has more than one C- bond Draw products from the following reactions. 1 MgBr º, 2º or 3º?

Predicting product: Two carbons end up in between the carbanion and the 3. Ethylene oxide and formaldehyde are complementary Grignard acceptors leading to 1º alcohols o Ethylene oxide extends the carbon chain by two (relative to the original MgBr) o Formaldehyde extends the carbon chain by one (relative to the original MgBr) 4. 2-Carbon ethylene oxide and 2-carbon ethanal give different products o Ethylene oxide! the is 1º and the is two carbons removed from the carbanion o Ethanal! the is 2º and the and carbanion are both connected to the same carbon Draw products from the following reactions C= Br Mg MgBr

Addition b. Protonation 2. Timing: a. The carbanion is added first, at one step in time, under strongly anionic conditions b. Later acid is added, in a second laboratory step. This provides a cationic environment 3. MgBr = -MgBr = carbanion a. The MgBr stuff is spectator, doesn t need to be drawn in b. Ignore in mechanisms c. In reality, it actually does play a nontrivial role, but we ll save that for grad school! Draw mechanisms for the following reactions: 1 MgBr MgBr

The carbanion is added first, at one point in time, under strongly anionic conditions o The first three steps all occur under these anionic conditions b. Acid is only added much later, in a second laboratory step. This gives a cationic environment. c. Why don t you just protonate after the first step? o There is no proton source available, and the elimination proceeds instead! 3. What if I add only one MgBr? 1 C 3 1 MgBr No or C 3 C 3 3º S.M.

21 Chem 350 Jasperse Ch. 10 andouts 21 Notes: anisms are exactly like with Grignard reactions LiAl 4 and NaB 4 function as hydride anions For mechanisms, just draw rather than trying to involve the Li and Al and Na and B NaB 4 = Na B B + LiAl 4 = Na Al Al + Boron is one row higher than aluminum, and in keeping with normal periodic patterns is more electronegative o Because boron is more electronegative, the B 4 anion is more stable, and less reactive. # The boron holds the more tightly. o Aluminum being less electronegative doesn t attract and hold the as well, and thus is considerably more reactive. eactivity Aldehydes Ketones Esters LiAl 4 Yes Yes Yes NaB 4 Yes Yes No LiAl 4 is much stronger, NaB 4 much weaker LiAl 4 is strong enough to react with esters, NaB 4 isn t 2. Selective reduction: if both an ester and an aldehyde/ketone are present: LiAl 4 reduces both NaB 4 selectively reduces the aldehyde/ketone but leaves the ester untouched 3. LiAl 4 is strong enough to react with and be destroyed by water or alcohol; NaB 4 isn t LiAl 4 + 2! 2 (gas) + Li + Al 3 + heat a. As a result, LiAl 4 is harder to use and store b. Acid has to be added in a subsequent step with the LiAl 4 ; (thus, 2-step recipe) c. NaB 4 can be run in alcohol solvent which serves as a proton source for protonating alkoxide d. Solvent restrictions, glassware must be dry, wet air must be excluded, etc. e. Because NaB 4 is stable to water, it s easier to handle in air, easier to store, much easier to work with f. Default: for a simple aldehyde or ketone reduction, normally use NaB 4 because it s so much easier 4. LiAl 4 is strong enough to react with esters, NaB 4 isn t
