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
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)
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?
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)
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
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
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
