I. Extended Pi SystemsA. Linear Multiple Conjugated -bonds
1) 1,3,5-Hexadiene H2C=CH—CH=CH—CH=CH2
2) Thermodynamically stable because of - interactions and resonance
3) Kinetically reactive
a) Low Ea for electrophilic additions
b) Carbocation is highly delocalized

c) Highly conjugated molecules are often highly reactive
B. Cyclic Extended systems are unreactive
1) The simplest cyclic conjugated system is benzene
2) Benzene is very unreactive because it has 2 resonance forms without going to the radical, cation, or anion
3) Inert enough to use as a solvent for other organic reactions
4) Benzene chemistry is the subject of Chapter 15

II. Diels Alder Cycloaddition ReactionA. Dienes and Alkenes react to give cyclohexadienes
1) Cycloadditions are the last new major category of reaction we will learn
2) The reaction works best with e- rich dienes and
e- poor alkenes (dienophiles)
3) Electron-Poor Alkenes
a) Substitute the alkene with e- withdrawing (electronegative) groups
b) Induction = removing e- density through -bonds with electronegative groups (halides, haloalkyl groups)
c) Electron withdrawing groups can also work through resonance

2. Diels-Alder Mechanism:
a) T.S. stabilized like benzene
b) 3 weak -bonds broken, 1 weak -bond and 2 strong -bonds formed
C. Diels-Alder Reactions are Stereospecific
1. Stereochemistry at the dienophile is retained
2. Stereochemistry of diene is retained

1) Exo Addition puts two ester groups near the bridgehead CH2
2) Endo Addition puts two ester groups away from the bridgehead CH2
i. Endo Cycloaddition is preferred in making a bicyclic
ii. Attraction of the -systems of the diene and dienophile explains

III. Electrocyclic Reactions = ring from a single -systemA. Heat or Light can drive the formation of a ring from a -system
1) Pericyclic Reaction = reaction with a cyclic transition state
a) Diels-Alder Reactions
b) Electrocyclic Reactions
2) Cyclization is preferred for trienes (H = -14.5 kcal/mol)
3) Ring cleavage is preferred for dienes (H = -9.7 kcal/mol)
4) Addition of heat () forces the reaction to the most stable product (thermodynmic control)
5) Addition of light (hv) forces the reaction to the least stable product (kinetic control)

B. Electrocyclic Reactions are Concerted and Stereospecific
1) Concerted Mechanisms
2) Stereospecificity
a) Cyclobutene thermal ring opening is conrotatory
i. sp3—sp3 -bonds rehybridize to sp2 + p orbital for double bond
ii. New p-orbitals must rotate to become planar with -bond
iii. Cylcobutene with heat rotates same direction (clockwise)
iv. Line-structure depictions

IV. Polymerization of Conjugated Dienes1) 1,2-Polymerization
2) 1,4-Polymerization
3) Products are still unsaturated
a) Cross-linked polymers polymerized the unsaturation
b) Increased Elasticity: cross-links cause polymer to snap back after deformation

V. UV-Visible SpectroscopyA. UV-Visible Light
1) UV = 200-400 nm
2) Visible UV = 400-800 nm
3) Transition caused is moving an e- from one MO to higher one

B. UV-Vis Spectrometry
1. Sample usually dissolved in solvent having no absorption itself
EtOH, MeOH, cyclohexane
2. Spectrometer Schematic
C. Organic Molecules and UV-Vis Spectroscopy
1. -bond MO’s are separated by large energy gaps (overlap is very good for bonding MO, very bad for antibonding MO)
2. -bond MO’s are more closely spaced
3. * and n* transitions occur with UV and Visible light energies
4) Molar Extinction Coefficient ( = A/C)
a) A = absorbance
b) C = Molar concentration
c) Units of are L/mol
d) Since concentration is figured in, is the same for any solution of a particular molecule (can identify an unknown)
5) Wavelength () of absorption is indicative of kind of bond absorbing
a) is taken at max (the highest peak)
b) More double bonds lowers the energy of absoption = longer
c) Fewer double bonds increases the energy = shorter (Table 14-2)
d) Absorption above 400 nm make a compound visible
i. Dyes often have conjugated systems
ii. -carotene is bright orange due to conjugation
iii. White light contains all wavelengths (colors) of light
iv. We see the colors that are not absorbed

-carotene absorbs here, so we see orange
