Hydration-Dehydration Equilibrium How do we control the position of the equilibrium and maximize the product?
Le Chatelier’s Principle A system at equilibrium adjusts so to minimize any stress applied to it. For the hydration-dehydration equilibria, the key stress is water. Adding water pushes the equilibrium toward more product (alcohol). Removing water pushes the equilibrium toward more reactant (alkene).
Le Chatelier’s Principle At constant temperature and pressure a reaction proceeds in a direction which is spontaneous or decreases free energy (G). The sign of G is always positive, but G can be positive or negative. G = Gproducts – Greactants Spontaneous when G < 0
Le Chatelier’s Principle For a reversible reaction: aA + bB cC + dD The relationship between G and Go is: R = 8.314 J/(mol.K) and T is the temperature in K
Le Chatelier’s Principle At equilibrium G = 0 and the following becomes true: Substituting Keq into the previous equation gives: Go = - RT lnKeq Reactions for Go positive are endergonic and for Go negative are exergonic.
OH Synthesis Suppose you wanted to prepare 1-decanol from 1-decene? • Needed: a method for hydration of alkenes with a regioselectivity opposite to Markovnikov's rule.
1. hydroboration 2. oxidation OH Synthesis Two-step reaction sequence called hydroboration-oxidation converts alkenes to alcohols with a regiochemistry opposite to Markovnikov's rule.
