1 Objective 14. Develop synthesis strategies for organic synthesis. Skills: Draw structure ID structural features and reactive sites (alpha C, beta C, LG, etc.) ID Nu - and E + use curved arrows to show bonds breaking and forming show delocalized electrons with resonance structures. Key ideas: Starting material --> target compound. Count # of C s bigger or smaller compound. ID functional groups in starting material and target compound. What part(s) of the starting material and target compound are the same? ID bonds that break/form. Brainstorm possible reactions.

2 Reaction Roadmap: Which groups has an α-c? (2 types of α-c) What are β-keto acids/esters used for? What group makes α,β-unsaturated carbonyls? alkyne alkane alkene alkyl halide amide acid ester alcohol R-M aldehyde ketone nitriles Diols, cyanohydrins, imines epoxide Ether acetal w/ ROH

3 The Journey!

4 ORGANIC SYNTHESIS STRATEGIES Convert one functional group to another Move a Functional Group from 1 C to adjacent C Make a C-C bond to make a bigger molecule How? See Structural Features è Tells you Reaction Type

5 Structural Features tell us: Which atom or bond reacts Reaction Type How to make a Compound C=C pi bond (including conjugated diene and aromatic) C-O, C-X, C-N compounds: carbon, leaving group (HOH, ROH, NH 3, X - ), H bonded to carbon, epoxide C=O compounds: carbonyl carbon, carbonyl oxygen, carbon (C next to carbonyl C), carbon TWO structural features: -hydroxy aldehyde/ketone (see enolates), -unsaturated aldehyde/ketone (see enolates) -keto ester (see ester enolates)

6 Reaction Type Acid-Base Nucleophilic Substitution Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution EAS Elimination Electrophilic Addition Nucleophilic Addition Structural Features Acid H (see pk table) Base (see pk table) carbon, LG Reacts with Nu: - carbon, H bonded to carbon, LG Reacts with Nu: - C=C pi bond Reacts with E +

7 Fill in the Table. Classify carbon, H bonded to or carbon, enolate. What is used to make a C-C bond? Atom Type Nucleophiles Electrophiles hydrogen carbon nitrogen oxygen X Bond

8 Many Organic Reactions are Reversible Example: OR How does ethanol react? How can you make ethanol? Ethanol Structural Features: carbon and LG ==> Substitution H bonded to carbon and LG ==> Elimination Basic O and Acidic H ==> Acid-Base C-O bond ==> Oxidation Several Ways Ethanol Reacts è Several Ways to Make Ethanol

9 The following reaction has been reported in the chemical literature. Write the structure of the product(s). Structural Features: Carbonyl C Carbonyl C base H on carbon no H on carbon H on carbon H on carbon

11 Aldehydes/Ketones and Acids Can be Halogenated at the α-c via an Enol Mechanism involves an enol. Compare the reaction of an enol with X 2 to an alkene with X 2. Does NOT work with acids, esters, or amides (not converted to enols) under these conditions. Different conditions (Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky)

12 Outline a reasonable mechanism for the following reaction: Structural Features: Carbonyl C What else? Carbonyl C What else?

13 Suggest reagents appropriate for each step in the synthesis. Structural Features: Carbonyl C Carbonyl C What else? Br on which C?

14 ORGANIC SYNTHESIS STRATEGIES How? See Structural Features è Tells you Reaction Type Convert One Functional Group To Another Structural Features: carbon and LG ==> Substitution Structural Features: C-O bond to C-O, C=O ==> Oxidation

15 ORGANIC SYNTHESIS STRATEGIES How? See Structural Features è Tells you Reaction Type Move a Functional Group from 1 C to adjacent C Structural Features: C and LG è Sub H on C and LG è Elim LG on different C H on C

16 ORGANIC SYNTHESIS STRATEGIES How? See Structural Features è Tells you Reaction Type Make a C-C bond to make a bigger molecule Use a carbon nucleophile and a carbon electrophile ID structural features: addition ID structural features: substitution Which C is electrophilic? Which carbon nucleophile to use? RMgX, CN -, acetylide ion, enolate or ester enolate

Subanesthetic infusion of Ketamine (anesthetic agent) can relieve the symptoms of depression and suicidal urges in a matter of hours. The effect lasts about a week, whereas commonly prescribed antidepressants usually take weeks to work. (C&EN, Aug. 23, 2010, page 8). Design a synthesis of ketamine from: Ketamine Structural Features: How to connect the 2 molecules? Structural Features:

20 Note: Aldol and Claisen reactions form a C-C bond What else can an enolate or ester enolate ion react with? +?? > +?? >

21 Use Enolate in Nu: - substitution reaction Problems with this method: 1. Elimination competes with substitution 2. Poor yield Is there a Better way? (Klein, Organic Chemistry, p. 1063)

22 Objective: use malonic ester synthesis and acetoacetic ester synthesis to make a C-C bond α to carbonyl C Malonic ester synthesis: Lengthen chain by 2 carbons Use diethyl malonate Remove α-h to form enolate Enolate = Nu: - Acetoacetic ester synthesis: Lengthen chain by 3 carbons Use ethyl acetoacetate Remove α-h to form enolate
