4 The E2 Mechanism-Why?

5 The E2 Mechanism-Regioselectivity

6 The E2 Mechanism-Regioselectivity Base Base C 3 C C C C 3 Attack of base Attack of base C C C 3 C 2 C 3 ofmann product (least substituted, and least stable alkene) 3 C 3 C C C C 3 Zaitsev product (most substituted, and most stable alkene) Kinetic product Thermodynamic product

7 The E2 Mechanism-Regioselectivity ~30% ~70%

8 The E2 Mechanism-Regioselectivity 2-bromopentane 1-pentene 2-pentene

9 The E2 Mechanism-Stereoselectivity

10 Regioselectivity-The tendency of a reaction to preferentially produce one constitutional isomer. Stereoselectivity-The tendency of a reaction to produce one of two stereoisomers in unequal amounts. Stereospecificity-Used to describe a reaction in which the configuration of the product is dependent on the configuration of the starting material.

11 The E2 Mechanism What if we change the base from methoxide to t-butoxide? C 3 O - methoxide A bulky base

12 The E2 Mechanism-Regioselectivity Bulky base attacks preferentially at least hindered position Base C 3 Base Bulky base avoids hindered position C C C C 3 C C C 3 C 2 C 3 ofmann product (least substituted) 3 C 3 C C C C 3 Zaitsev product (most substituted)

26 The E2 Mechanism Regioselectivity in Cyclohexanes

27 The E2 Mechanism Regioselectivity in Cyclohexanes ow do we explain this reaction?? Na + OC 3 - Only this product forms

28 The E2 Mechanism Regioselectivity in Cyclohexanes First clue: The reaction shows bimolecular kinetics. Second clue: Reactions with labelled compounds. D Na + OC 3 - no deuterium in the product!! D Na + OC 3 - D only the hydrogen is removed!!

29 The E2 Mechanism Regioselectivity in Cyclohexanes Third clue: Only this product forms Na + OC 3 - Na + OC 3 - Only this product forms

30 The E2 Mechanism Regioselectivity in Cyclohexanes

31 Na+ OC 3 - major product minor product C 3 C 3

32 Na+ OC 3 - no trans hydrogen only product not formed C 3 C 3

33 The E2 Mechanism Regioselectivity in Cyclohexanes Na+OEtheat Only product formed and the reaction is very slow!! C no trans hydrogen C 3 C 3 C C 3 C 3 3 C C 3 least stable conformer!!

34 3a. Cl O - Cl Cl enantiomers b. Cl O - Cl Cl enantiomers Is one reaction faster than the other????

Mechanism: We therefore describe the mechanism as a S N 2 mechanism.

Mechanism: We therefore describe the mechanism as a S N 2 mechanism. OH Mechanism: This is known as a bimolecular reaction as there are 2 molecules involved in the slow step. We therefore describe the mechanism as a S N 2 mechanism. We see an inversion in this process around
