  1. Chapter 14Organometallic Compounds

  2. 14.1Organometallic Nomenclature

  3. Li H2C CHNa Cyclopropyllithium Vinylsodium CH3CH2MgCH2CH3 CH3MgI Diethylmagnesium Methylmagnesiumiodide Metal is the parent

  4. 14.2Carbon-Metal BondsinOrganometallic Compounds

  5. R X R M Polarity of Bonds organometallics are a source of nucleophilic carbon + – – +

  6. Polarity of Bonds CH3F CH3Li

  7. 14.3Preparation of Organolithium Compounds

  8. R X + 2Li R Li + LiX Organolithium Compounds normally prepared by reaction of alkyl halides with lithium is an oxidation-reduction reaction: carbon is reduced same for Ar—X

  9. Examples diethylether (CH3)3CCl + 2Li (CH3)3CLi + LiCl –10°C (75%) diethylether Br + 2Li Li + LiBr 35°C (95-99%)

  11. 14.4Preparation of Organomagnesium Compounds: Grignard Reagents

  12. R X + Mg Grignard Reagents prepared by reaction of alkyl halides with magnesium Diethyl ether is most often used solvent. Tetrahydrofuran is also used. RMgX same for Ar—X

  13. Cl MgCl Examples diethylether + Mg –10°C (96%) diethylether Br + Mg MgBr 35°C (95%)

  15. Order of Reactivity I > Br > Cl >> F RX > ArX

  16. Forbidden Groups certain groups cannot be present in the solvent the halide from which the Grignard reagent is prepared the substance with which the Grignard reagent reacts

  17. Forbidden Groups Anything with an OH, SH, or NH group therefore cannot use H2O, CH3OH, CH3CH2OH, etc. as solvents cannot prepare Grignard reagent from substances such as HOCH2CH2Br, etc.

  18. 14.5Organolithium and Organomagnesium Compounds as Brønsted Bases

  19. R H R H – •• + M M OR' OR' •• •• Brønsted basicity Grignard reagents (M = MgX) and organolithium reagents (M = Li) are strong bases. + – •• ••

  20. Example + H2O CH3CH2CH2CH2Li CH3CH2CH2CH3 + LiOH (100%)

  21. Example + CH3OH MgBr + CH3OMgBr (100%)
