2 Addition Reactions: Addition to Alkenes Addition C C A B A C C B ave Already Looked at Addition of 2 (ydrogenation) Will Now Add Additional Reagents to ur Arsenal X (I,, Cl) 2 2 S 4 2 Cl 2 I 2

3 Why Do Additions to Alkenes Work? Conversion of π Bond to 2 σ Bonds Typically Energy Favored Two σ Bonds igher Energy than ne π + ne σ verall Process is thus Typically Exothermic π Electrons are Exposed (ABVE and BELW sp 2 Plane) π Bonds Good at Capturing Electrophiles ( +, Lewis Acids, X 2 ) tal Ions With Vacant rbitals Also Good Electrophiles Let s Look at the Addition Reaction of a ydrogen alide

4 Addition Reactions: X to Alkenes C C General rder of X Reactivity: I > > Cl > F Usually Dissolved in Solvent (C 3 C 2, C 2 Cl 2 ) Can be Bubbled Through Solution as a Gas Addition of Cl not Generally Useful (Works w/ Silica Gel)

5 Addition Reactions: to Alkenes C C π Bond (Nucleophile) Protonate Carbocation Intermediate Carbocation Captured by (Nucleophile) Added (or other X) Addition in Two verall Steps + and Carbocation are the Respective Electrophiles This is a SYMMETRIC Alkene ASYMMETRIC ALKENES?

6 Markovnikov s Rule: to Alkenes C 2 Cl 2, 0 o C MAJR 2-omopropane is Major Product MINR (TRACE) nly Very Small Amount of 1-omopropane bserved True With ther Alkenes C 2 Cl 2, 0 o C MAJR MINR (TRACE)

7 Markovnikov s Rule: Why? C 2 Cl 2, 0 o C MAJR MINR (TRACE) Product Distribution Explained When Looking at Intermediates Recall Discussion of Carbocation Stability (2 > 1 ) Major Product Formed From More Stable C + Intermediate Less Stable Carbocation More Stable Carbocation

8 Markovnikov s Rule: C + Stability Less Stable Carbocation More Stable Carbocation We Know 2 Carbocations More Stable Than 1 Major Product Formed From More Stable C + Intermediate ans TS in 2 Carbocation Pathway Lower in Energy Lower Energy of Activation Activation Energies in 1 Carbocation Pathways Much Larger

9 Markovnikov s Rule: Summary MARKVNIKV S RULE: In the ionic additions of an unsymmetrical reagent to a double bond, the positive portion of the adding reagent attaches itself to a carbon atom of the double bond so as to yield the MRE STABLE CARBCATIN as an INTERMEDIATE Cl Cl I Cl I I Recall Bond Polarization: δ I δ Cl This Addition Preference is Called REGISELECTIVITY

10 Stereochemistry in Ionic Additions Top Capture C 3 + C 3 C 3 Bottom Capture Just as We Saw in S N 1: C + as TW FACES Top and Bottom Attack Give Two Stereochemical Products R and S Enantiomers Formed as a Racemic Mixture (50:50)

11 2 S 4 Addition to Alkenes S S S 3 C C C C Must Add CLD Sulfuric Acid; Form Alkyl ydrogen Sulfates Regioselective Reaction: beys Markovnikov s Rule Note chanistic Similarities w/ X Addition to Alkenes

12 Alcohols From Alkyl ydrogen Sulfates S 3 2 YDRLYSIS Reaction of Alkyl ydrogen Sulfate Simply eat the Sulfate in Water Net Reaction is Markovnikov Addition of 2 to Alkene Used in ne Industrial Ethanol Making Process

13 Addition of 2 to Alkenes: ydration C C + 3 YDRATIN Reaction of an Alkene Acid Catalyzed Addition of 2 Across Double Bond Net Reaction is Markovnikov Addition of 2 to Alkene We ve Seen a Similar Reaction: Acid Catalyzed Dehydration Carbocation Rearrangements Possible w/ Dehydration Reactions What is the MECANISM for this reaction? Know this!

14 xymercuration-demercuration XYMERCURATIN: C C g(ac) 2 TF gac DEMERCURATIN: Na, NaB 4 gac Net Reaction: Markovnikov Addition of 2 to Alkene Both Reactions Quite Rapid; Alcohol Yields Usually > 90% NaB 4 : Sodium Borohydride Delivering Agent

15 xymercuration-demercuration (2) Pr C C g(ac) 2 TF/ 2 Pr gac Na, NaB 4 Pr g(ac) 2 gac Na, NaB4 TF/ 2 Added Benefit of xymercuration/demercuration: C + REARRANGEMENTS Seldomly bserved Consider Example Seen on Next Slide

16 xymercuration-demercuration (3) 1. g(ac) 2, TF/ 2 2. Na, NaB 4 gac g Stabilization gac Would Expect 2 Carbocation to Rearrange to 3 Added C + Stabilization from g Atom Prevents Rearrangment Useful ydration Process for Avoiding Skeletal Migrations

17 ydroboration xidation Reactions B 3 : TF ydroboration (C 3 C 2 C 2 ) 3 B 2 2, Na xidation ydroboration: Addition of and B to Alkene Neutral Boron has 3 Coordination Sites Get Trialkyl Boranes as an Intermediate (Tripropylborane) xidation: 2 2, Na xidize to Trialkylborate Ester xidation Followed by a ydrolysis, Cleaves Borate Ester ANTI-MARKVNIKV Product (Good for 1 Alcohols!)

18 ydroboration xidation Reactions (2) We ntioned anti-markovnikov Regiochemistry Reaction also Proceeds with SYN Stereochemistry 1. B 3 : TF , Na and Delivered anti-markovnikov to the SAME FACE of the π Bond Sections 8.8 and 8.9 Deal w/ chanistic Aspects. This is Interesting, but is NT Testable Material (You May mit)

19 Addition of Cl 2 and 2 to Alkenes 3 CC CC 3 Cl 2-9 o C 3 CC CC 3 Cl Cl 3 C 2 CC C 2 Cl 2-9 o C 3 C 2 CC C 2 Cl Cl 2-5 o C + Enantiomer btain Vicinal Dihalides as Reaction Products Want to use a Non-Nucleophilic Solvent (Due to Intermediate) Important to Run Reactions in Dark (Avoid Radicals)

20 General chanism of Dihalide Addition C C - - Intermediate is a BRMNIUM IN (in 2 Case) Nucleophilic Solvents Can Capture (pen) omonium Ion omonium Ion pening is S N 2 Anti Addition of 2

21 Stereochemistry of Dihalide Additions Can pen Symmetric omonium Ions at Either Carbon Always (for now) Anti (Trans) Addition of X 2 Reaction Products Are Enantiomers Racemic Mixtures (50:50) in Symmetric omonium Ions Will Get Excess of ne Enantiomer in Asymmetric Cases Stereospecific Reactions: ne Stereoiomeric Form of the Starting Material Reacts in Such a Way to Form a Specific Stereoisomeric Form of the Product

22 alohydrin Formation C C 2 Intermediate is Still a BRMNIUM IN (in 2 Case) Nucleophilic Solvents Can Capture (pen) omonium Ion 2 pens the omonium Ion; Another 2 Deprotonates Product is alohydrin Net X- Addition to Alkene Still Can Get Stereoisomeric Products (pen Either End)

23 Divalent Carbon Compounds: Carbenes C 2 N N Diazomethane eat or Light C 2 + N N thylene (A Carbene) Common Way of Generating Carbenes (Divalent Carbon) Diazomethane: 3 Resonance Structures (Draw thers??) Carbenes are ighly Reactive Species; Short-Lived Excellent Utility is in the Synthesis of Cyclopropanes Let s Look at Some Reactions Making Use of Carbenes

24 Divalent Carbon Compounds: Carbenes C C + C 2 C C C 2 KC(C 3 ) 3 CCl 3 Cl Cl C 2 I 2, Zn(Cu) alogen Substituted Carbenes from aloforms (CCl 3, etc.) Last Reaction is Called the Simmons-Smith Reaction

Na 2 S 3 / 2 1,2-propanediol (propylene glycol) C=C is xidized by s 4 Addition of ydroxyl Groups Proceeds w/ SYN Stereochemistry Can Also use KMN 4 (More Powerful, May Cleave Diol) If Using KMN 4, Want CLD Reaction Temperatures s 4 is Expensive; Can Use Catalytically if NM is Added

28 ow You May See xidative Cleavage An Unknown Alkene (C 8 16 )GivesTwo Products When Treated w/ ot KMn 4 : C KMn 4, 2 Na, The Products are a Carboxylic Acid and a Ketone, So ur Alkene Must Be Trisubstituted. We Don't Know if it is CIS or TRANS, but we Can Put the Rest of the Structure Together: or
