  1. HL Organic Chemistry: NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION REACTIONS

  2. Types of Halogenoalkanes methyl primary secondary tertiary The carbon attached to the halogen determines whether the haloalkane is considered: methyl [only hydrogens] primary (1°) [one methyl or alkyl] secondary (2°) [two methyls or alkyls] tertiary (3°) [three methyls or alkyls]

  3. R X R Y Y X SUBSTITUTION REACTIONS One group takes the place of another. + + Y takes the place of X ( Substitution ) Y “displaces” X

  4. NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION NUCLEOPHILIC DISPLACEMENT leaving group substrate product nucleophile The nucleophile “displaces” the leaving group. This is a “substitution” reaction : Nu substitutes for X (takes its place).

  5. EXAMPLE 1 * (s) soluble insoluble iodide displaces bromide at carbon * NaI is soluble in acetone, NaCl and NaBr are not

  6. C H 3 H C C 2 C H 3 E1 competes EXAMPLE 2 solvolysis of t-butyl chloride in water water displaces chloride at carbon * The extra proton is taken by a second water molecule.

  7. DISPLACEMENT REACTIONS NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION REACTIONS ( substitution at carbon ) can be compared to ….. ACID-BASE REACTIONS ( substitution at hydrogen )

  8. COMPARE THESE SUBSTITUTIONS DISPLACEMENT AT CARBON nucleophile substrate product leaving group DISPLACEMENT AT HYDROGEN base acid conjugate acid conjugate base

  9. THESE REACTIONS HAVE A WIDE RANGE OF SUBSTRATES

  10. COMMON SUBSTRATES ( Leaving group varies ) alkyl halides alcohols alcohols require acid and then H2O leaves tosylates ABBREVIATION alkyl p-toluenesulfonate

  11. THERE ARE ALSO A WIDE RANGE OF NUCLEOPHILES A WIDE VARIETY OF COMPOUNDS CAN BE MADE

  20. A QUICK SUMMARY OF TWO SUBSTITUTION REACTIONS SN1 / SN2

  21. RBr + NaOH ROH + NaBr rate = k2 [RBr] [NaOH] SN2 Two similar reactions, different kinetics. 1) First Case 55oC methyl

  22. SN1 rate = k1 [RBr] 2) Second Case 55oC tertiary

  23. MANY PARAMETERS INFLUENCE NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION

  24. NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION MANY FACTORS INFLUENCE SN1 AND SN2 REACTIONS SOME PARAMETERS : a) solvent b) temp. c) pH d) DH a) structure a) structure of R, stereochemistry a) bond strength a) nature of X b) atom used b) atom used b) concentration c) concentration c) base strength c) bond strength d) base strength e) solubility f) size

  25. STRUCTURE OF THE SUBSTRATE SN1

  26. SN1 - SUBSTRATE AND CARBOCATION slow R-X R+ X- + R+ Nu- R-Nu + fast The energy of the carbocation intermediate is an important factor for an SN1 reaction. The better ion will have the lower energy pathway. 3o < 2o < 1o

  35. IS THE NUCLEOPHILE IMPORTANT IN BOTH SN1 AND SN2 REACTIONS ?

  36. NUCLEOPHILES IMPORTANCE IN SN1 AND SN2 REACTIONS Nucleophiles are unimportant in an SN1 reaction; they are not involved in the rate-determining step. SN1 rate = K1 [RX] The nature of a nucleophile is only important to an SN2 reaction. SN2 rate = K2 [RX][Nu]

  37. WHAT IS A GOOD NUCLEOPHILE ? SN2 REACTIONS

  38. .. : : Y .. .. - : : X .. WHAT IS THE IDEAL NUCLEOPHILE ? SN2 REACTIONS LARGE STERIC PROBLEMS no way ! bad R SMALL : C Br good R R Smaller is better ! For an SN2 reaction the nucleophile must find the back lobe of the sp3 hybridized orbital to which the leaving group is bonded.

  39. .. .. :F: :Cl: .. .. EXPECTED “IDEAL” NUCLEOPHILES cyanide - ROD OR SPEAR SHAPED :C N: - - + :N N N: azide SMALL SPHERES These types should be able to find the target ! - - etc. Generally this idea is correct.

  40. OUR EXPECTATION ……. We would expect the halides to be good nucleophiles: ionic radii: 1.36 A 1.81 A 1.95 A 2.16 A smallest ion - - - - F Br I Cl and we would expect the smallest one (fluoride) to be the best nucleophile, ….. however, that is not usually the case.

  41. RELATIVE RATES OF REACTION FOR THE HALIDES MeOH CH3-I + NaX CH3-X + NaI Rate = k [CH3I] [X-] SN2 k slowest F- 5 x 102 Cl- 2.3 x 104 Br- 6 x 105 fastest I- 2 x 107 * MeOH solvates like water but dissolves everything better.

  42. COMPETITIVE NUCLEOPHILES

  43. SN1 REACTIONS IN SN1 REACTIONS ALL NUCLEOPHILES REACT EQUALLY WELL HOH, H+ - .. solvolysis :Br: + .. slow - .. :Cl: .. - .. : I : .. All react equally with the carbocation. The amounts of RCl, RBr and RI reflect their starting concentrations in the solution.

  44. SN2 REACTIONS FOR SN2 REACTIONS, THE SIZE AND NATURE OF THE NUCLEOPHILE IS IMPORTANT - Cl - - Br I Different amounts of RCl, RBr, and RI are found even when they are equi- molar in the original solution.

  45. THE BOTTOM LINE SN1 CARBOCATIONS REACT WITH ALL NUCLEOPHILES EQUALLY The nucleophile is not involved in the rate-determining step. SN2 BETTER NUCLEOPHILES REACT FASTER GIVING MORE PRODUCT The nucleophile is involved in the rate-determining step.

  46. HOW CAN YOU TELL IF IT IS SN1 OR SN2 ? 1) LOOK FIRST AT THE NUCLEOPHILE You cannot do a reasonable SN2 reaction without a good Nu. If you have a poor nucleophile, SN1 is probable. 2) NEXT CHECK THE SUBSTRATE Primary is bad for SN1 ….. Tertiary is bad for SN2 3) FINALLY LOOK AT THE SOLVENT SN2 is best in nonpolar and polar aprotic solvents, but can also happen in water or EtOH. SN1 needs a polar solvent.

  47. SOME HELPFUL HINTS ! DECISION CHART LOOK FIRST AT THE NUCLEOPHILE, THEN THE SUBSTRATE GOOD NUCLEOPHILE * Good Nucleophile in high concentration = SN2 unless it is a strong base however, 1o substrates can give SN2 at low T RO- HO- H2N- …. however, SN2 needs a 1o or 2o substrate (or 1o benzylic) not 3o SUBSTRATE …. prefers a nonpolar solvent but will proceed even in a polar solvent (aprotics best) SOLVENT strong bases like all substrates with a beta hydrogen (anti-coplanar) 3o >> 2o > 1o STRONG BASE

  48. SOME HELPFUL HINTS ! DECISION CHART LOOK FIRST AT THE NUCLEOPHILE, THEN THE SUBSTRATE POOR NUCLEOPHILE * Poor nucleophile (solvolysis) = SN1 or low concentration …. however, the substrate needs to be 3o or benzylic or allylic (or 2o) SUBSTRATE …. also, in SN1 the carbocation needs a reasonably polar solvent SOLVENT watch for rearrangements REARRANGEMENT

  49. Summary of material you MUST know for the HL Chemistry exam

  50. Sec 20.2 – IB Style Rxn Pathways • Haloalkanes are the starting reactants for all substitution reactions • SN1 uses slow heterolytic cleavage of the carbon – halogen bond to form a carbocation intermediate as the rate limiting step • The intermediate then reacts rapidly with a nucleophile (Nu-) to form the final product • The energy profile for an SN1 reaction shows two humps in the reaction pathway (see slide) • You MUST USE CURLY ARROWS to show this process for IB exam credit!
