1 L TOPI 7. ELIMINATION EATIONS (chapter 7 and parts of chapters 4,6,20) OBJETIVES 1. Describe mechanisms for elimination of a leaving group and adjacent proton to form a pi-bond. 2. Discuss the effect of starting material ( substrate ), leaving group, and reaction conditions on the course and outcome of a reaction. 3. Describe syntheses of alkenes and alkynes. 4. Use combinations of elimination and substitution reactions in developing two-step syntheses of value-added compounds. D.M. ollard 2007

The outcome of a reaction depends on: i. the structure of the substrate (steric hindrance to nucleophilic attack) ii. the basicity of the nucleophile D.M. ollard 2007

8 Observations and Explanations ONa or KN ONa O ONa KN N OK heat 2 2 Summary 3 substrates only undergo substitution with weakly basic nucleophiles (O, 2 O, O 2 ). Stronger bases promote elimination. 1 substrates generally undergo substitution unless the base itself is sterically crowded (e.g., t-buo - ). Substrate Nucleophile/Base Mechanism 3 weak bases: O, 2 O, O 2 give solvolysis strong bases: anionic bases (O -, O - N 2- ), N 3 S N 1 (some E1 on heating) E2 No S N 2 with 3 substrates D.M. ollard 2007

9 Summary 3 substrates only undergo substitution with weakly basic nucleophiles (O, 2 O, O 2 ). Stronger bases promote elimination. 1 substrates generally undergo substitution unless the base itself is sterically crowded (e.g., t-buo ). Substrate Nucleophile/Base Mechanism 2 Less basic than O : e.g.., S, S, N 3, N, O 2 S N 2 O and more basic: O, N 2 weak nucleophiles: O, 2 O E2 S N 1 (some E1 on heating) Summary 3 substrates only undergo substitution with weakly basic nucleophiles (O, 2 O, O 2 ).

But not all transformations can be achieved in one step. For example, there is no method to dehydrogenate (i.e., remove 2 ) alkanes. So how would you bring about the following transformation???? You need to recognize that there is a single intermediate which can: 1. be made from the starting material, and 2. be transformed into the desired product D.M. ollard 2007

17 Problem: What two-step process can be used to achieve the following overall transformation? Problem: This process can, of course, be extended to longer sequences of reactions. ow could you prepare decane from bromohexane, bromoethane and ethyne? from D.M. ollard 2007

18 Problem: eaction of trans-1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane with sodium ethoxide, a non-bulky base, results in formation of 3-methylcyclohexene, the anti-zaitzev product. Explain. 3 EtONa EtO 3 TOPI 7 ON EXAM 4 Types of Questions - Describe elimination reaction mechanisms - Predict the products of elimination reactions - Describe some simple reactions of alkenes (hydrogenation) and alkynes (acidity, hydrogenation) The problems in the book are good examples of the types of problems on the exam. Preparing for Exam 4: - Work as many problems as possible. - Work in groups. - Do the Learning Group Problem at the end of the chapter. - Work through the practice exam D.M. ollard 2007
