CH. 19 - ENOLATE ANIONS AND ENAMINES

CONCEPT: CONDENSATION REACTIONS

A condensation reaction spontaneously combines two or more molecules with the loss of a smaller molecule.

● Instead of just reacting with electophiles, enolates are able to react with themselves to self-condensate

● Obviously, ___________________________ are required for this type of reaction to take place

Example Reactions:

ORGANIC - BROWN 8E


CONCEPT: ALDOL CONDENSATION

Via enolates, ketones and aldehydes will react with ___________________ to condensate into ______________

● The final products are called “aldols” because they are part ________________ and part __________________

Mechanism:

1. Form the enolate

2. Nucleophilic attack the other carbonyl (which we will call the electrophile)

3. Protonate the tetrahedral intermediate:

β-hydroxy carbonyls are ______________ to dehydrate than typical alcohols due to __________________________

Many times, we will simply assume that the condensation product dehydrated on its own, without requiring an explanation.

CONCEPT: CROSSED ALDOL

When we run condensation reactions on two different ketones or aldehydes, mixed products are difficult to avoid.

In general, condensation reactions with two different carbonyls work best when one carbonyl is nonenolizable.

Nonenolizable Carbonyls:

CONCEPT: CLAISEN-SCHMIDT REACTION

When a crossed aldol contains an enolizable aldehyde and a ketone, one product does predominate.

● Aldehydes are more susceptible toward nucleophilic addition than ketones, favoring a single enolate.

EXAMPLE: Predict the major product of the following condensation.

CONCEPT: CLAISEN CONDENSATION

Via enolates, esters will react with _________________ to condensate into ________________________

CONCEPT: INTRAMOLECULAR CONDENSATION

Dicarbonyl compounds have the ability to self-condensate through cyclization if it will generate a ___ or ___-membered ring.

● When a diketone or dialdehyde self-condensate, the resulting product is called a cyclic enone

● When a diester self-condensates, the resulting product is called a cyclic β-ketoester

□ This is known as a Dieckmann Condensation

CONCEPT: OVERVIEW OF α-CARBON ALKYLATIONS AND ACYLATIONS

Adding –R groups to α-carbons of carbonyl compounds is synthetically important.

●There are _______ main synthetic pathways that we use to accomplish this.

ORGANIC - BROWN 8E


CONCEPT: ENOLATE ALKYLATION AND ACYLATION

We can expose enolates to alkyl halides to produce α-alkyations

● Using acid chlorides results in α-acylations.

Directed Reactions:

When we run α-alkyations with asymmetrical ketones, two enolates are possible.

● This leads to a mixture of products. We can use different bases to direct the direction of deprotonation

□ The thermodynamic product is the product with the lowest overall energy _____________

□ The kinetic product is the product with the lowest activation energy _____________

Enolates of Esters:

LDA can also be used in the alkylation of esters

● Use of alkoxide bases may yield transesterification (stay away!)

CONCEPT: ENAMINE ALKYLATION AND ACYLATION

Carbonyls easily react with acid-catalyzed amine solvents to form imines and enamines.

Secondary Amine Addition: Enamines

Enamines have the ability to alkylate or acylate via the formation of an iminium salt

CONCEPT: β-DICARBONYL ESTER SYNTHESIS—PATHWAY

β-dicarbonyl compounds are unusually acidic due to the incredible stability of the enolate.

We can take advantage of this acidity to easily alkylate the central α-carbon through a predictable multi-step synthesis.

CONCEPT: CONJUGATE ADDITION OF ENONES

Once an aldol condensation is completed, an electrophilic carbonyl still remains.

● Enones remain susceptible to nucleophilic attack, however they now have two electrophilic regions:

● Also known as 1,2 vs. 1,4 addition of enones, or nucleophilic addition vs. conjugate addition of carbonyls.
