1 8.9 Addition of Carbenes to Alkenes: Cyclopropane Synthesis A carbene, R 2 C:, is a neutral molecule containing a divalent carbon with only six electrons in its valence shell One simple method for generating dichlorocarbene is by treatment of CHCl 3 with KOH Carbenes behave as electrophiles, adding to alkenes to yield cyclopropanes CHP 8 Problems , 29-54, 58, Addition of Carbenes to Alkenes: Cyclopropane Synthesis Mechanism of the formation of dichlorocarbene Addition of Carbenes to Alkenes: Cyclopropane Synthesis Dichlorocarbene carbon atom is sp 2 -hybridized with a vacant p orbital extending above and below the plane of the three atoms with an unshared pair of electrons occupying the third sp 2 lobe 1

2 Addition of Carbenes to Alkenes: Cyclopropane Synthesis Reaction of dichlorocarbene with an alkene results in a dichlorocyclopropane Addition is stereospecific, meaning that only a single stereoisomer is formed as product 8.10 Radical Addition to Alkenes: Alkene Polymers Radicals add to alkene double bonds Radicals remove one electron from double bond One electron left behind yielding a new radical Polymer A large molecule built up by repetitive bonding together of many smaller molecules called monomers Cellulose (glucose polymer) Proteins (amino acid polymers) Nucleic acid (nucleotide polymer) 2

3 Simplest polymerization Result when an alkene is treated with a small amount of a radical as an initiator Initiation 1. Small amount of benzoyl peroxide catalyst is heated breaking weak O-O bonds and yielding radicals 2. Benzoyloxy radical adds to C=C bond of ethylene forming a carbon radical 3. a) One electron from C=C bond pairs up with electron of benzoyloxy radical to form C-O bond b) Other electron remains on carbon (a carbon-centered radical) Propagation Polymerization occurs when the carbon radical adds to another ethylene molecule to yield another radical Termination Chain process ends by a reaction that consumes a radical Combination of two growing chains 2-R CH 2 CH 2 R CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 R 3

4 Vinyl monomers Substituted ethylene Undergo polymerization to yield polymer with substituted groups regularly spaced in alternating carbon atom long chain Polypropylene Styrene Polymerization of unsymmetrically substituted vinyl monomers Propylene or Styrene Radical addition steps can take place at either end of the double bond to yield: A primary radical intermediate (RCH 2. ) A secondary radical (R 2 CH. ) Similar to electrophilic addition reaction More highly substituted, secondary radical is formed Worked Example 8.4 Predicting the Structure of a Polymer Show the structure of poly(vinyl chloride), a polymer made from H 2 C=CHCl, by drawing several repeating units 4

5 8.11 Biological Additions of Radicals to Alkenes Radical vs. Electrophilic Addition Reactions Electrophilic addition Reaction occurs once Intermediate is then quenched and reaction stops. Radical vs. Electrophilic Addition Reactions Radical addition Difficult to control Limited use in the laboratory Reaction intermediate is not quenched so reaction continues Biological Reactions Only one substrate molecule at a time is present in the active site of the enzyme where the reaction occurs (necessary reactant groups nearby) More controlled More common than laboratory radical reactions 5

6 Step 1 formation of a carbon radical at C13 Step 2 C13 radical reacts with O 2 at C11 through resonance form Step 3 Oxygen radical reacts with C8-C9 double bond forming carbon radical at C8 Step 4 C8 radical adds to C12-C13 double bond forming carbon radical at C13 Step 5 Resonance form of C13 carbon radical adds at C15 to a second O 2 molecule Step 6 Reduction of O-O bond gives prostaglandin H 2 6
