NEIGHBORING GROUP PARTICIPATION WHEN YOU NEIGHBOR HELPS OUT
a-Bromopropionate Ion - - SN2 - neither SN1 or SN2 Two different results!
REACTION IN CONCENTRATED BASE straightforward SN2 displacement SN2 ( rate = k[RBr] [OH] ) is favored by high [OH]
REACTION IN DILUTE BASE neighboring group participation In dilute base the internal displacement has a competing rate. Two inversions give a product with retention.
PREPARING A BROSYLATE LEAVING GROUP p-bromobenzenesulfonyl chloride Brosyl Chloride BsCl resonance stabilized good leaving group a brosylate (R-OBs)
INTERMEDIATE ION Bridged ion, OAc attacks equally on either side, but always anti + + - O-Ac trans diacetate
REARRANGEMENTS CAN ASSIST A REACTION ALSO To be added …...
NGP IS COMMON IN BIOLOGICAL REACTIONS
AN IMPORTANT BIOLOGICAL REACTION IN THE SYNTHESIS OF TERPENES isopentenyl pyrophosphate TERPENES ENZYME 3,3-dimethylallyl pyrophosphate USES NEIGHBORING GROUP PARTICIPATION
SOME TERPENES (C10) geraniol menthol rose and other flowers peppermint camphor a-pinene camphor tree turpentine
ANCHIMERIC ASSISTANCE BY HISTIDINE good nucleophile assisted by proximity + ENZYMES KNOW ALL THE TRICKS : SN2 - - enzyme double bond could never displace without the imidizole trick easily displaced weak base SN2 + elimination :B
