1 rganic Tutorials 3 rd Year Michaelmas 2010 Transition Metals in rganic Synthesis: (General paper level) Reading 1. Lecture Course, and suggested references from this. 2. Clayden, Greaves, Warren and Wothers. 3. Norman & Coxon 4. Carey & Sundberg vol B. 5. Hegedus Transition Metals in the Synthesis of Complex Molecules very good for the option paper (many copies in the RSL) Transition metals are widely used to facilitate carbon-carbon bond forming reactions in synthesis and to catalyse stereoselective oxidation and reduction processes. Things to understand: Palladium Catalysis You need to understand the fundamental concepts of oxidative addition migratory insertion transmetallation reductive elimination as well as being able to count the number of electrons and the oxidation state of a given metal in a complex. Reactions of importance: Heck, Suzuki, Sonagashira, Stille understand the mechanisms and catalytic cycles; how is Pd(II) reduced in situ to Pd(0) with NEt 3 or PPh 3? The various -allyl complexes; regio- and stereoselectivity. The Wacker Reaction; mechanism and synthetic applications. Metathesis Preparation of catalysts. Mechanism understand how metathesis reactions work and the difference between ring closing metathesis, cross metathesis, enyne metathesis etc. Understand (in principle) how asymmetric variants of the reaction work. As always do not get bogged down learning too many names (although it always helps to distinguish between the different reaction mechanisms); try and understand the fundamental concepts of each of the major reaction types as this is the main thing to understand. ther rgano-metallics: Please also remember to revise the preparation and use of non-transition metal reagents such as organo-lithium, -magnesium, -copper, -cadmium and zinc compounds etc.! 1!
