Isomers with several chiral centers • 2,3,4-Trihydroxybutanal two stereocenters; 22 = 4 stereoisomers are possible
Stereo chemistry • Meso compound: an achiral compound possessing two or more stereocenters • tartaric acid • two stereocenters; 2n = 4, but only three stereoisomers exist

Elimination • What favors Elimination reactions: • attacking nucleophil is a strong and large base • steric crowding in the substrate • High temperatures and low polarity of solvent E1 Mechanism Nucleophile -> acting as a strong base
Oxygen as a nucleophile Addition of 1 mol of Alcohol to Aldehyde -> Hemiacetal+ 1 mol Alcohol -> Acetal Addition of 1 mol of Alcohol to Keton -> Hemiketal+ 1 mol Alcohol -> Ketal
Hydride as a nucleophileReduction of aldehydes and ketons Complex metal hydrides (LiAlH4 or NaBH4) can deliver hydride -> they act like nucleophiles
Carbon as a nucleophile Cyanide -> Cyanohydrin Organometallics: Grignard reagents
Nitrogen as a nucleophile Addition of primary amine to carbonyl -> Imine (Schiff base)
Nucleophilic substitution on carbonyl groups – Carboxylic acid derivates Carboxylic acids react with base (NaOH, KOH) -> water-soluble salts
Oxygen as nucleophile Synthesis of anhydrides Acid + Alcohol -> Ester base-catalysedesterfication -> does not work with acid + alcohol
Oxygen as nucleophile Hydrolysis of esters + amids: acid + base catalysed
Sulfur as nucleophile • Thiols + Carboxylic acid derivates -> Thioacids and Thioesters • Reactivity increased (compared to formation of ester): • Sulfur better nucleotide than oxygen • RS- better leaving group than RO-
Nitrogen as nucleophile Amines (1º, 2º, 3º) + Carboxylic acid (derivates) -> Amides -> with esters N (aminogroup) betternucleophilthan O (hydroxyl/ester) ! Ester betterleavinggroup !!!
Hydride as nucleophile Reduction of carboxylic acid derivates Reduction of carboxylic acid derivates -> Alkohols Lithium aluminium hydride (LAH) -> strong hydrid donor Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) -> weaker hydriddonor Lithium aluminium hydride (LAH) -> reduces almost all carboxylic acid derivates -> primary alcohol Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) -> reduces acyl halides, ketons, aldehydes -> primary alcohol
Hydride as nucleophile Reduction of carboxylic acid derivates Reduction of Amides -> Amines ->different mechanism!!!
Carbon as nucleophile Carboxylic acid derivates + Grignard -> Alcohols
Electrophilic Reactions Alkenes –Addition of hydrogen halides Markovnikov’s rule: in additions of HX, H adds to the carbon with the greater number of hydrogens
ElectrophilicReactions Alkynes –Addition of halides Markovnikov’s rule: in additions of HX, H adds to the carbon with the greater number of hydrogens
ElectrophilicReactions Alkenes –Addition of water Alkynes – Hydration gives a keton
ElectrophilicReactions Alkenes –Addition of halogens Alkenes –Addition of halogens in water -> Halo alcohol (halohydrin) Halo alcohols can be used to make -> epoxides
Electrophilic ReactionsAddition to conjugated systems Alkenes – addition of halides Conjugate addition Alkenes – addition of halogens
Electrophilic ReactionsCarbocations as electrophiles Cationic polymerization Polystyrene
Catalytic hydration -> NOT a radical reaction (Chapter 9: Radical reactions) Involvement of atomic hydrogen -> mechanism has more in common with radical reaction than with ionic reaction Catalytic HydrationAddition of hydrogen to alkenes and alkynes
Homolysis of peroxides Radical reactionsForming of a radical Homolytic cleavage by Photolysis Reactions of molecules with other radicals
Chlorine rather unselective !!! (number of hydrogens versus radical position) Radical substitution reactionsHalogenation Bromine less reactive - More selective !!!
Radical addition reactionsAddition of HBr to alkenes Anti- Markovnikov’srule: in additions of HX, H adds to the carbon with the lower number of hydrogens Addition to conjugated dienes
Electrophilic ReactionsAromatic substitution Electrophilic reactions with aromatic substrates -> substitution

Electrophilic ReactionsAromatic substitution Nitration HNO3 + H+ (strongacid) -> NO2+ Sulfonation
Electrophilic ReactionsAromatic substitution Electrophilicalkylations -> Friedel-Craft alkylation
Electrophilic ReactionsAromatic substitution Electrophilic alkylations -> Friedel-Craft alkylation -> alkylation of aromatic ring can be achieved by any system that generates carbocation
Electrophilic ReactionsAromatic substitution Electrophilic acylation -> Friedel-Craft Acylation
Electrophilic ReactionsAromatic substitution Effect of substituents -> influence rate and position of substitution Electron withdrawing substituents -> deactivate and hinder further substitution (-> destabilize ortho and para -> substitution preferable in meta position) Electron donating substituents -> activate for further substitution (-> preferable in ortho and para) Substituent has maximum effect on reaction if it is in ortho or para position -> electron releasing substituents (ortho and para) -> electron withdrawing substituents (destabilize arenium cation ->meta)
