Protecting Groups

Learn about using protecting groups to manipulate carbonyl compounds in the presence of N—H or O—H bonds, and the role of organometallic reagents. Discover a three-step strategy involving protection, reaction, and deprotection for successful synthesis. Explore the use of silyl ethers as effective protecting groups.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Introduction to Carbonyl Chemistry; Organometallic Reagents; Oxidation and Reduction Protecting Groups • Addition of organometallic reagents cannot be used with molecules that contain both a carbonyl group and N—H or O—H bonds. • Carbonyl compounds that also contain N—H or O—H bonds undergo an acid-base reaction with organometallic reagents, not nucleophilic addition.

  2. Introduction to Carbonyl Chemistry; Organometallic Reagents; Oxidation and Reduction Protecting Groups Solving this problem requires a three-step strategy: [1] Convert the OH group into another functional group that does not interfere with the desired reaction. This new blocking group is called a protecting group, and the reaction that creates it is called “protection.” [2] Carry out the desired reaction. [3] Remove the protecting group. This reaction is called “deprotection.” A common OH protecting group is a silyl ether.

  3. Introduction to Carbonyl Chemistry; Organometallic Reagents; Oxidation and Reduction Protecting Groups tert-Butyldimethylsilyl ethers are prepared from alcohols by reaction with tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride and an amine base, usually imidazole. The silyl ether is typically removed with a fluoride salt such as tetrabutylammonium fluoride (CH3CH2CH2CH2)4N+F¯.

  4. Introduction to Carbonyl Chemistry; Organometallic Reagents; Oxidation and Reduction Protecting Groups The use of tert-butyldimethylsilyl ether as a protecting group makes possible the synthesis of 4-methyl-1,4-pentanediol by a three-step sequence.
