  2. Alkynes Chapter 10 Chapter 10

  3. Nomenclature • IUPAC: use the infix -yn- to show the presence of a carbon-carbon triple bond • Common names: prefix the substituents on the triple bond to the name “acetylene”

  4. Cycloalkynes • The smallest cycloalkyne isolated is cyclononyne • the C-C-C bond angle about the triple bond is approximately 156°

  5. Physical Properties • Similar to alkanes and alkenes of comparable molecular weight and carbon skeleton

  6. Acidity • A major difference between the chemistry of alkynes and that of alkenes and alkanes is the acidity of the hydrogen bonded to a triply bonded carbon (Section 4.4E) • the pKa of acetylene is approximately 25, which makes it a stronger acid than ammonia but weaker than alcohols

  7. Acidity • Acetylene reacts with sodium amide to form sodium acetylide • it can also be converted to its metal salt by reaction with sodium hydride or lithium diisopropylamide (LDA)

  8. Acidity • Water is a stronger acid than acetylene; hydroxide ion is not a strong enough base to convert acetylene to its anion

  9. Alkylation of Acetylides • Acetylide anions are both strong bases and good nucleophiles • They undergo SN2 reactions with alkyl halides, tosylates, and mesylates to form new C-C bonds to alkyl groups; that is, they undergo alkylation • because acetylide anions are also strong bases, alkylation is practical only with methyl and 1° halides • with 2° and 3° halides, E2 is the major reaction.

  10. Alkylation of Acetylides • Alkylation of acetylide anions is the most convenient method for the synthesis of terminal alkynes

  11. Alkylation of Acetylides • Alkylation can be repeated and a terminal alkyne can be converted to an internal alkyne

  12. Alkylation of Acetylides • With 2° and 3° alkyl halides, E2 is the major reaction

  13. Preparation • Treatment of a vicinal dibromoalkane with two moles of base, most commonly sodium amide, results in two successive E2 reactions and formation of an alkyne

  14. Preparation • Alkynes are also prepared by double dehydrohalogenation of geminal dihalides

  15. Preparation • An alkene can be converted to an alkyne • for a terminal alkene to a terminal alkyne, 3 moles of NaNH2 are required • for an internal alkene to an internal alkyne, only 2 moles of NaNH2 are required

  16. Preparation • A side product may be an allene, a compound containing adjacent carbon-carbon double bonds, C=C=C

  17. Allenes • Most allenes are less stable than their isomeric alkynes, and are generally only minor products in alkyne-forming dehydrohalogenation reactions

  18. Reduction • Treatment of an alkyne with hydrogen in the presence of a transition metal catalyst, most commonly Pd, Pt, or Ni, converts the alkyne to an alkane

  19. Reduction • With the Lindlar catalyst, reduction stops at addition of one mole of H2 • this reduction shows syn stereoselectivity

  20. Reduction • Reduction of an alkyne with Na or Li in liquid ammonia converts an alkyne to an alkene with anti stereoselectivity

  21. Na/NH3(l) Reduction • Step 1: a one-electron reduction of the alkyne gives a radical anion • Step 2: an acid-base reaction gives an alkenyl radical and amide ion

  22. Na/NH3(l) Reduction • Step 3: a second one-electron reduction gives an alkenyl anion. • this step establishes the configuration of the alkene • a trans alkenyl anion is more stable than its cis isomer • Step 4: a second acid-base reaction gives the trans alkene

  23. Hydroboration • Addition of borane to an internal alkynes gives a trialkenylborane • Treatment of a trialkenylborane with acetic acid results in stereoselective replacement of B by H

  24. Hydroboration • To prevent dihydroboration with terminal alkynes, it is necessary to use a sterically hindered dialkylborane, such as (sia)2BH

  25. Hydroboration • Treatment of a terminal alkyne with (sia)2BH results stereospecific and regioselective hydroboration

  26. Hydroboration • Treatment of an alkenylborane with H2O2 in aqueous NaOH gives an enol

  27. Hydroboration • Enol:a compound containing an OH group on one carbon of a C=C • The enol is in equilibrium with a compound formed by migration of a hydrogen atom from oxygen to carbon and the double bond from C=C to C=O • The enol and keto forms aretautomersand their interconversion is called tautomerism • the keto form generally predominates at equilibrium • we discuss keto-enol tautomerism in detail in Section 16.11

  28. Hydroboration • Hydroboration/oxidation of an internal alkyne gives a ketone

  29. Hydroboration • Hydroboration/oxidation of a terminal alkyne gives an aldehyde

  30. Addition of X2 • Alkynes add one mole of bromine to give a dibromoalkene • addition shows anti stereoselectivity

  31. Addition of X2 • The intermediate in bromination of an alkyne is a bridged bromonium ion

  32. Addition of HX • Alkynes undergo regioselective addition of first one mole of HX and then a second mole to give a dibromoalkane

  33. Addition of HX • the intermediate in addition of HX is a 2° vinylic carbocation • reaction of the vinylic cation with halide ion gives the product

  34. Addition of H2O:hydration • In the presence of sulfuric acid and Hg(II) salts, alkynes undergo addition of water

  35. Addition of H2O:hydration • Step 1: attack of Hg2+ gives a bridged mercurinium ion intermediate, which contains a three-center, two-electron bond • Step 2: water attacks the bridged mercurinium ion intermediate from the side opposite the bridge

  36. Addition of H2O:hydration • Step 3: proton transfer to solvent • Step 4: tautomerism of the enol gives the keto form

  37. Addition of H2O:hydration • Step 5: proton transfer to the carbonyl oxygen gives an oxonium ion • Steps 6 and 7: loss of Hg2+ gives an enol; tautomerism of the enol gives the ketone

  38. Organic Synthesis • A successful synthesis must • provide the desired product in maximum yield • have the maximum control of stereochemistry and regiochemistry • do minimum damage to the environment (it must be a “green” synthesis) • Our strategy will be to work backwards from the target molecule

  39. Organic Synthesis • We analyze a target molecule in the following ways • the carbon skeleton: how can we put it together. Our only method to date for forming new a C-C bond is the alkylation of acetylide anions (Section 10.5) • the functional groups: what are they, how can they be used in forming the carbon-skeleton of the target molecule, and how can they be changed to give the functional groups of the target molecule

  40. Organic Synthesis • We use a method called a retrosynthesis and use an open arrow to symbolize a step in a retrosynthesis • Retrosynthesis: a process of reasoning backwards from a target molecule to a set of suitable starting materials

  41. Organic Synthesis • Target molecule: cis-3-hexene

  42. Organic Synthesis • starting materials are acetylene and bromoethane

  43. Organic Synthesis • Target molecule: 2-heptanone

  44. Organic Synthesis • starting materials are acetylene and 1-bromopentane
