1. General mechanism in basic condition: Nucleophilic Addition (Class II) 2. General mechanism in acidic condition:
1. Carbon as the nucleophilic atom Basic condition Types of Nucleophile for Class II Carbonyl Groups pKa = 25 Acetylide ion pKa = 50 carboanion 2. Hydrogen as the nucleophilic atom Mostly basic condition hydride 3. Nitrogen as the nucleophilic atom Mostly acidic condition 1° and 2° amines 4. Oxygen as the nucleophilic atom Acidic condition 1° alcohols
pKaof amines. Nitrogen as the Nucleophilic Atom pKa = 38 pKa = 9-10 1° and 2°Amines function as weak bases or nucleophiles. 3° Amines function as weak bases.
General Reactions: Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones with Amines H+ 1° Amines imine (Schiff base) H+ 2° Amines enamine
Examples: Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones with Primary Amines H+ H+
Examples: Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones with Secondary Amines H+ H+
Optimal pH for the Formation of Imines pKa = 9-10 pKa = -2 The highlighted protons are quite acidic. Rate of rxn Strong acid will protonate the amines. Optimal pH: 4 – 5 (ex: acetic acid) 0 4 5 10 pH
H+ Formation of Imine Derivatives Hydroxylamine Oxime H+ semicarbazide semicarbazone H+ hydrazine hydrazone
H2, Pd/C General reaction Application of Imine: Reductive Amination H+ NaBH3CN Generated in situ The reaction can be conducted in one-pot fashion. The use of NaBH3CN is important since it can tolerate the acidic condition.
Developed by the German chemist Ernst Otto Beckmann (1853–1923) Application of Oxime: Beckmann Rearrangement 2-azacycloheptanone (a lactam) oxime nylon
Developed by a team of researchers at the Croatian pharmaceutical company Pliva in 1980. Beckmann Rearrangement: Synthesis of Azithromycin oxime Erythromycin Azithromycin lactam
Mechanism of Beckmann Rearrangement + H+ - H+
Application of Hydrazone: Deoxygenation of Carbonyl Groups the Wolff–Kishner reduction
General reaction: Application of Hydrazone: Use of 2,4-DNP 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNP) The hydrazones have specific m.p.
