Please don’t do problem 31a, but please do problem 32c. Chapter 22 Alpha Substitutions and Condensations of Enols and Enolate Ions. Actually this the chemistry of a- hydrogen atoms. enolate ion. Aldehydes, ketones and esters. IMPORTANT: enolate is a nuke; attacks via of its alpha carbon.

Chapter 22 Alpha Substitutions and Condensations of Enols and Enolate Ions Actually this the chemistry of a-hydrogen atoms enolate ion Aldehydes, ketones and esters IMPORTANT: enolate is a nuke; attacks via of its alpha carbon
EXAMPLES Dangle the group attached to alpha carbon nuke portion Electrophilic portion
In general: Designing Self Aldol Synthesis + break bond; add H to left portion remove H from OH then form C=O
Acid Catalyzed Aldols Also called a,b-unsaturated aldehyde Conjugated enones quite stable
Other conditions for dehydration of beta hydroxy aldehydes 1. Base plus heat 2 heat
Planning a Self Aldol synthesis of a,b-Unsaturated aldehyde Add 2 H Add O CH3CH2CH=O CH3CH2CH=O
Aldols Involving Ketones Much slower than aldehydes - need special gimmicks DIACETONE ALCOHOL!!!! mesityl oxide!!!
Crossed Aldol Condensations-Problems Two different aldehydes or ketones PROBLEM - if both have alpha hydrogens
Problem, con’t Also self aldol product of acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde
How to get a single crossed aldol product? Treat one of the aldehydes or ketones with a-hydrogens with another aldehyde or ketone without a-hydrogens. Commonly used carbonyl compouds without a-hydrogens Of course, these will serve as electrophilic centers
Examples Trick is to add compound with a-hydrogen to basic solution containing the compound without a-hydrogen. +
Problem Can the following compound be prepared in good yield by an aldol condensation?
Aldol Cyclizations OH_ OH_ 1,4-diketone Please do problem 22-30
Example 1 Site A to C=O leads to 4-membered ring FAVORED Site B to C=O leads to 6-membered ring
EXAMPLE -2 A C D B D to C=O give 6-membered ring
Example Starting diketone? Show the diketone that would give the following 2 H O
Claisen Condensation IMPORTANT POINTS 1. PKA OF ALPHA H’S ON ESTER ARE AROUND 24 (RECALL KETONES ARE AROUND 20. 2. THIS REQUIRES THE USE OF A SLIGHTLY STRONGER BASE USE ALKOXIDES RO- WHERE R IS SAME AS THE OR OF THE ESTER (RECALL PKA OF ALCOHOLS ARE AROUND 17 TO 18.
