15 Acid catalyzed Adol Condensation acid A A A A generally leads to elimination (not E1cB)

17 Retrosynthetic Analysis of Aldol Products To utilize the aldol reaction in synthesis, you must be able to determine which aldehyde or ketone is needed to prepare a particular β-hydroxy carbonyl compound or α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound that is, you must be able to work backwards in the retrosynthetic direction. 17

18 Retrosynthetic Analysis of Aldol Products 18

19 Identifying adol and adol condensation products adol reaction: beta hydroxy groups to aldehyde or ketone carbonyl adol condensation: enone

20 Identifying adol and adol condensation products adol reaction: beta hydroxy groups to aldehyde or ketone carbonyl adol condensation: enone

22 Crossed aldols Adol reaction A Na B A + B A + A B + A B + B Aldol condensations A Na eat B A + B A + A B + A B + B Problem: No selectivity, mixtures of products Solution: aldehyde without alpha protons

23 Crossed aldols Problem: No selectivity, mixtures of products Solution: aldehyde without alpha protons Na Better Solution: Directed adol. Make enolate qunatitatively in one step. Then add it slowly to excess of second carbonyl (electrophile). Na TF acid or base heat

24 Directed Aldol Reactions A directed aldol reaction is one that clearly defines which carbonyl compound becomes the nucleophilic enolate and which reacts at the electrophilic carbonyl carbon: [1] The enolate of one carbonyl component is prepared with LDA. [2] The second carbonyl compound (the electrophile) is added to this enolate. Both carbonyl components can have α hydrogens because only one enolate is prepared with LDA. When an unsymmetrical ketone is used, LDA selectively forms the less substituted kinetic enolate. 24

25 Crossed aldols Na heat TF 2) aqueous acid or 1) TsCl,pyridine 2) tbuk

26 Useful Transformations of Aldol Products The aldol reaction is synthetically useful because it forms new carbon carbon bonds, generating products with two functional groups. β-ydroxy carbonyl compounds formed in aldol reactions are readily transformed into a variety of other compounds. Figure 24.3 Conversion of a β-hydroxy carbonyl compound into other compounds 26

27 Use of Crossed Aldol Reactions [2] When one carbonyl component has especially acidic α hydrogens, these hydrogens are more readily removed than the other α atoms. As a result, the β-dicarbonyl compound always becomes the enolate component of the aldol reaction. 27

28 Active Methylene Compounds β-dicarbonyl compounds are sometimes called active methylene compounds because they are more reactive towards base than other carbonyl compounds. 1,3-Dinitriles and α-cyano carbonyl compounds are also active methylene compounds. 28

29 Example of Crossed Aldol Reactions In this type of crossed aldol reaction, the initial β-hydroxy compound always loses water to form the highly conjugated product. Figure 24.2 Crossed aldol reaction between benzaldehyde and diethyl malonate 29

31 Directed Aldol Reactions Periplanone B is an extremely active compound produced in small amounts by the American cockroach. Its structure was determined using 200 µg isolated from more than 75,000 female cockroaches. Figure 24.4 A directed aldol reaction in the synthesis of periplanone B 1,2 addition to aldehyde 1,4 to vinyl ketone 31

32 Intramolecular Aldol Reactions Aldol reactions with dicarbonyl compounds can be used to make five- and six-membered rings. The enolate formed from one carbonyl group is the nucleophile, and the carbonyl carbon of the other is the electrophile. For example, treatment of 2,5-hexadienone with base forms a five-membered ring. 2,5-exanedione is called a 1,4-dicarbonyl compound to emphasize the relative positions of its carbonyl groups. 1,4-Dicarbonyl compounds are starting materials for synthesizing five-membered rings. 32

33 33

34 Use of Crossed Aldol Reactions When 2,5-hexanedione is treated with base in Step [1], two different enolates are possible enolates A and B, formed by removal of a and b, respectively. Although enolate A goes on to form the five-membered ring, intramolecular cyclization using enolate B would lead to a strained three-membered ring. Because the three-membered ring is much higher in energy than the enolate starting material, equilibrium greatly favors the starting materials and the three-membered ring does not form. 34

35 Intramolecular Aldol Reactions In a similar fashion, six-membered rings can be formed from the intramolecular aldol reaction of 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds. 35

36 The synthesis of the female sex hormone progesterone involves an intramolecular aldol reaction. Figure 24.5 Synthesis of Progesterone Using an Intramolecular Aldol Reactions 36

37 The Claisen Reactions In the Claisen reaction, two molecules of an ester react with each other in the presence of an alkoxide base to form a β-keto ester. Unlike the aldol reaction which is base-catalyzed, a full equivalent of base is needed to deprotonate the β-keto ester formed in Step [3] of the Claisen reaction. Since esters have a leaving group on the carbonyl carbon, loss of the leaving group occurs to form the product of substitution, not addition. 37

38 38

39 The characteristic reaction of esters is nucleophilic substitution. A Claisen reaction is a nucleophilic substitution in which an enolate is the nucleophile. Figure 24.6 Claisen Reaction Example of Nucleophilic Substitution 39

44 Crossed Claisen Reaction Like the aldol reaction, it is sometimes possible to carry out a Claisen reaction with two different carbonyl components as starting materials. A Claisen reaction between two different carbonyl compounds is called a crossed Claisen reaction. A crossed Claisen is synthetically useful in two different instances: [1] Between two different esters when only one has α hydrogens, one product is usually formed. 44

45 Crossed Claisen: Side reaction Et bp 77 C Et Et bp 180 C ethyl acetoacetate Et Et Et bp 212 C bp 265 C ethyl 3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate ow should reaction be set up? 45

46 Crossed Claisen Reaction [2] Between a ketone and an ester the enolate is always formed from the ketone component, and the reaction works best when the ester has no α hydrogens. The product of this crossed Claisen reaction is a β-dicarbonyl compound, not a β-keto ester. Vast excess of ethyl formate (low bp) 46

47 Forming β-dicarbonyl Compounds β-dicarbonyl compounds are also prepared by reacting an enolate with ethyl chloroformate or diethyl carbonate. Ethyl chloroformate reacts with ethoxide to form diethyl carbonate 47

48 Preparing β-keto Esters Reaction [2] is noteworthy because it provides easy access to β-keto esters, which are useful starting materials in the acetoacetic ester synthesis. In this reaction, Cl is eliminated rather than Et in Step [3] because Cl is a better leaving group, as shown in the following steps. 48

49 The Dieckmann Reaction An intramolecular Claisen reaction is called a Dieckmann reaction. Two types of diesters give good yields of cyclic products. 49

52 The Michael Reaction The Michael reaction involves two carbonyl components the enolate of one carbonyl compound and an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound. Recall that α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds are resonance stabilized and have two electrophilic sites the carbonyl carbon and the β carbon. 52

53 Michael Acceptors The α,β-unsaturated carbonyl component is often called a Michael acceptor. 53

54 54

55 Michael Reaction Products When the product of a Michael reaction is also a β-keto ester, it can be hydrolyzed and decarboxylated by heating in aqueous acid. This forms a 1,5-dicarbonyl compound. 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds are starting materials for intramolecular aldol reactions. 55

61 The Robinson Annulation The Robinson annulation is a ring-forming reaction that combines a Michael reaction with an intramolecular aldol reaction. The starting materials for a Robinson annulation are an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound and an enolate. 61

62 The Robinson Annulation The Robinson annulation forms a six-membered ring and three new C C bonds two σ bonds and one π bond. The product contains an α,β-unsaturated ketone in a cyclohexane ring that is, a 2-cyclohexenone. To generate the enolate component of the Robinson annulation, in 2 or Et in Et are typically used. 62

63 63

64 64

65 Drawing Products of Robinson Annulation To draw the product of Robinson annulation without writing out the entire mechanism each time: [1] Place the α carbon of the carbonyl compound that becomes the enolate next to the β carbon of the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound. [2] Join the appropriate carbons together as shown. If you follow this method of drawing the starting materials, the double bond in the product always ends up in the same position of the sixmembered ring. 65
