1 Wht is in Common for the Following Rections, nd ow Do They Work? You should eventully be ble to drw the mechnism for these (nd other) rections 13 Key Intermedite 1 Br-Br N Br 2 C 3 -I Me NMe Me Me C 3 3 NMe 4 2 N 5 Me C 3 Me NMe Me Me C 3 C C 3 opticlly ctive N C 3 3 C rcemic mixture C 3 4 Things in Common KEY: Deprotontion of n α- hydrogen genertes 1. Formtion of bond to the crbon α to crbonyl ENLATE nion, which is good nucleophile 2. Bsic/nionic rection conditions 3. Involve n electrophile 4. At lest one α to crbonyl is lost

2 TYPICAL MECANISM: Vi ENLATE Anion 14 = (Aldehyde) = R (Ketone) = R (Ester) R (Bse) Br Br C 2 3 -I 2 Me C 3 Enolte Ion 2 Me (originl stereo forgotten) Under bse conditions, crbonyl compound with n α-hydrogen cn be deprotonted to give resonnce-stblized, deloclized enolte nion, which is nucleophilic t the α-crbon. Norml C- bonds re very non-cidic. But C- bonds α to crbonyl re much more cidic becuse the resulting nion is resonnce stbilized nd is shred by the oxygen. K = K = Stbilized Unstbilized The α-crbon hs two other ttchments in ddition to the crbonyl nd the shown in this pge. The other ttchments will remin ttched s specttors, nd need to be ccounted for in drwing products. α-ydrogens re only slightly less cidic thn is wter or lcohol hydrogens

Crbonyls cidify α- s (nion stbilized) 2. 1,3-Dicrbonyls re much more cidic thn monocrbonyls (nion is more stbilized) 3. Ketones re more cidic thn esters 4. A lower nion on the chrt cn fvorbly deprotonte ny cid tht s higher on chrt. Becuse ny cid-bse equilibrium will lwys fvor the more stble nion. 5. LDA is strong enough to completely deprotonte ketones, esters, or 1,3-dicrbonyls 6. N, NR cn completely deprotonte 1,3-dicrbonyl (but not ketones or esters) 7. N, NR do not completely deprotonte ketones or esters, but do provide usble equilibrium supply of the enolte tht cn procede to product in some rections.

Drw the three nions tht would result from deprotiontion t the three spots, nd ny pertinent resonnce structures. b Site : c b c b > > c b c Some resonnce stbiliztion 16 Site b: b c b c b c Excellent resonnce stbiliztion Site c: b c No resonnce stbiliztion 2. For the following compounds, record to wht degree they would be deprotonted by NC 3 or LDA [LiN(iPr) 2 ] respectively. The bsic choices re totlly (>98%), zero (no enolte whtsoever) or slightly (definitely some equilibrium mount, but <10%). A B C LDA: totlly totlly none (no α-) totlly NMe: slightly totlly none (no α-) slightly 3. For the following compounds, rnk them ccording to which would hve the gretest mount of enol isomer present t equilibrium, 1 being most enol, 4 being lest. A B C B (enol stbilized by -bonding; enol lkene stbilized by conjugtion) > A (enol lkene stbilized by conjugtion) > D (no enol stbiliztion, but t lest some enol is possible) > C no enol whtsoever, becuse no α-hydrogens 4.
