LEC. 1 • Dr. Ebtehal al abdullah • ebtehalksu@yahoo.com Pharmaceutical Organic Chemistry Part One: Classes and Mechanisims of Organic reactions
Classes of Organic compuondsand functional group A functional group is an atom or a group of atoms with characteristic chemical and physical properties. It is the reactive part of the molecule.
Reactions and Their Mechanisms • There are four general types of organic reactions • Substitutions • Additions
Reactions and Their Mechanisms • Eliminations • Rearrangements
Cleavage of Covalent Bonds • Homolytic cleavage: each atom involved in the covalent bond receives one electron, resulting in formation of free radical • Hetrolytic cleavage: both bonding electrons are retained by one of the atoms, resulting in formation of ionic species
Heterolysis of Bonds to Carbons: Carbanions and Carbocations • Reaction can occur to give a carbocation or carbanion depending on the nature of Z
Heterolysis of Bonds to Carbons: Carbanions and Carbocations • Carbocationshave only 6 valence electrons and a positive charge • Carbanions have 8 valence electrons and a negative charge
Organic chemistry terms for Lewis acids and bases • Electrophiles(“electron-loving” reagents ): seek electrons to obtain a stable valence shell of electrons • Are electron-deficient themselves e.g. carbocations • Nucleophiles (“nucleus-loving” reagents): seek a proton or some other positively charged center • Are electron-rich themselves e.g. carbanions
Substitution Reaction In this type of reaction one atom, ion, or group is substituted for another. Its two types: • Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction • Electrophilic Substitution Reaction
Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction Q: What is nucleophilic substitution reaction? A species which has ability to donates a pair of electrons is termed as a nucleophile. A reaction in which Nu is substituted by another Nu can occur by an: a. SN1 path b. SN2 path Most common reaction of alkyl halides (RX) and alcohols (ROH)
Substitution reactions The SN1 Mechanism
Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction of alkyl halide SN1 reaction unimolecularnucleophilic substitution, two-step mechanism Step1: ionization and formation of R+ Step2: combination of R+
Cont. SN1 reaction • The rate of chemical reaction is a measure of how fast the reaction • proceed, • It dose not depend on the conc. Of Nu-, depend on only conc. Of RX • It follow first order kinetic, depend only on reactant conc.(RX) • It is nuimolecular reaction [ because only one particle (RX) is involved • in the transition state of rate determining step
Cont. SN1 reaction The rate-determinig step in SN1 reaction involves the formation of R+, So, increasing the stability of R+ will increase the rate of the reaction C6H5CH2+, CH2=CHCH2+, (CH3)3C+,(CH3)2CH+, CH3CH2+, CH3+ Decresing the stability of R+, decreasing SN1 rate of RX * Only benzylic, allylic and 3°R+ undergo SN1
The SN1 Mechanism carbocation
Cont. SN1 reaction When weak Nu such as H2O or ROH is used the rate of SN1 reaction Is in the following order C6H5CH2X > CH2=CHCH2X > 3° RX When a strong Nu as CN- is used, 3° RX undergo SN1 reaction exclusively,where as C6H5CH2OH or CH2=CHCH2OH C6H5CH2X or CH2=CHCH2X C6H5CH2CN or CH2=CHCH2CN SN1 H2O or ROH SN2 CN-
Cont. SN1 reaction Proplems Q1: List the following carbocation in order of increasing stability Q2: Which of the following compounds is more reactive toward SN1 reaction. Explain why 1. C6H5CH2Br2. CH3Br 3. CH2=CHCH2Br
Substitution reactions The SN2 Mechanism
Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction of alkyl halide • SN2 reaction • bimolecular nucleophilic substitution, one-step mechanism, which • involves a transition state. • Nu attacks from back-side. • Bimolecular reaction, because both Nu and RX are involved in the • transition state. Transition state
The Sn2 mechanism: a) is a single step process b) involves no intermediates c) involves only one transition state, which is of low polarity d) follows second order (bimolecular) kinetics. That is, rate=k[substrate][nucleophile]
Cont. SN2 reaction • The rate of second order, because it is proportional to conc. Of Nu & RX • Increase the steric hindrance around the halogenated carbon Decreases • the rate of SN2 reaction. • 3° RX are too hindered to undergo SN2 reaction. • CH3X RCH2X R2CHX • increasing steric hindrance , decreasing SN2 rate • CH3X…… most reactive • 2 ° [R2CHX ]…… react slowly • 3 ° [R3X ] …….no react by SN2 • When strong Nu as CN- is used, the SN2 rate in the following order • benzylic halide > Allylic halide > Methyl halide • ** CH3X and RCH2X (1° RX) undergo SN2 exclusively, irrespective of the • strength of Nu-
Q: Outline all steps in the mechansim of each of the following reaction: 1. C6H5CH2Br + NaCN C6H5CH2CN + NaBr 2. C6H5CH2Br + H2O C6H5CH2OH + HBr 3. (CH3)3CCl + CH3O-Na+ (CH3)3COCH3 + NaCl
Summary of SN1 & SN2 Mechanisms SN2 A bimolecular reaction Back-side attack 2ed order in rate Inversion of configuration CH3X > 1oRX > 2oRX SN1 A unimolecular reaction An ionization reaction 1st order in rate No inversion of configuration 3oRX > 2oRX
Summary of SN1 & SN2 Mechanisms Benzylic and allylic undergo both type of substitution SN1 & SN2 Mechanisms Depending on the strength of Nu if weak Nu ……… SN1 if strong Nu ………. SN2
