22.1 Introduction Alpha Carbon Chemistry: Enols and Enolates For carbonyl compounds, Greek letters are often used to describe the proximity of atoms to the carbonyl center This chapter will primarily explore reactions that take place at the alpha carbon Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

22.1 Introduction Alpha Carbon Chemistry: Enols and Enolates The reactions we will explore proceed though either an enol or an enolate intermediate Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

22.1 Introduction Alpha Carbon Chemistry: Enols and Enolates Trace amounts of acid or base catalyst provide equilibriums in which both the enol and keto forms are present How is equilibrium different from resonance? At equilibrium, >99% of the molecules exist in the keto form. WHY? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

22.1 Introduction Alpha Carbon Chemistry: Enols and Enolates In rare cases such as the example below, the enol form is favored in equilibrium Give two reasons to explain WHY the enol is favored The solvent can affect the exact percentages Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

22.1 Introduction Alpha Carbon Chemistry: Enols and Enolates The mechanism for the tautomerization depends on whether it is acid catalyzed or base catalyzed Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

22.1 Introduction Alpha Carbon Chemistry: Enols and Enolates As the tautomerization is practically unavoidable, some fraction of the molecules will exist in the enol form Analyzing the enol form, we see there is a minor (but significant) resonance contributor with a nucleophilic carbon atom Practice with conceptual checkpoints 22.1 through 22.3 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

22.1 Introduction Alpha Carbon Chemistry: Enols and Enolates In the presence of a strong base, an enolate forms The enolate is much more nucleophilic than the enol. WHY? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

22.1 Introduction Alpha Carbon Chemistry: Enols and Enolates The enolate can undergo C-attack or O-attack Enolates generally undergo C-attack. WHY? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

22.1 Introduction Alpha Carbon Chemistry: Enols and Enolates Alpha protons are the only protons on an aldehyde or ketone that can be removed to form an enolate Removing the aldehyde proton or the beta or gamma proton will NOT yield a resonance stabilized intermediate Practice with SkillBuilder 22.1 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

22.2 Alpha Halogenation of Enols and Enolates H3O+ catalyzes the ketoenol tautomerism. HOW? The enol tautomer can attack a halogen molecule The process is autocatalytic –the regenerated acid can catalyze another tautomerization and halogenation Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

22.2 Alpha Halogenation of Enols and Enolates When an unsymmetrical ketone is used, bromination occurs primarily at the more substituted carbon The major product results from the more stable (more substituted) enol A mixture of products is generally unavoidable Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

22.2 Alpha Halogenation of Enols and Enolates Alpha halogenation can also be achieved under basic conditions The formation of the enolate is not favored, but the equilibrium is pushed forward by the second step Will the presence of the α bromine make the remaining α proton more or less acidic? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

22.2 Alpha Halogenation of Enols and Enolates Monosubstitution is not possible. WHY? Methyl ketones can be converted to carboxylic acids using excess halogen and hydroxide Once all three α protons are substituted, the CBr3 group becomes a decent leaving group Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

22.2 Alpha Halogenation of Enols and Enolates Once all three α protons are substituted, the CBr3 group becomes a decent leaving group The last step is practically irreversible. WHY? Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

22.2 Alpha Halogenation of Enols and Enolates The carboxylate produced on the last slide can be protonated with H3O+ The reaction works well with Cl2, Br2, and I2, and it is known as the haloform reaction The iodoform reaction may be used to test for methyl ketones, because iodoform can be observed as a yellow solid when it forms Practice with conceptual checkpoints 22.13 and 22.14 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

22.3 Aldol Reactions The elimination of water can be promoted under acidic or under basic conditions Give a reasonable mechanism for each Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

22.3 Aldol Reactions When a water is eliminated, two products are possible Which will likely be the major product? Use the mechanism to explain Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

22.3 Aldol Reactions Because the aldol condensation is favored, often it is impossible to isolate the aldol product without elimination Condensation is especially favored when extended conjugation results Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

22.3 Aldol Reactions At low temperatures, condensation is less favored, but the aldol product is still often difficult to isolate in good yield Practice with SkillBuilder 22.3 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

22.4 Claisen Condensations Esters also undergo reversible condensations reactions Unlike a ketone or aldehyde, an ester has a leaving group Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

22.4 Claisen Condensations There are some limitations to the Claisen condensation The starting ester must have 2 alpha protons, because removal of the second proton by the alkoxide ion is what drives the equilibrium forward Hydroxide cannot be used as the base to promote Claisen condensations, because a hydrolysis reaction occurs between hydroxide and the ester An alkoxide equivalent to the –OR group of the ester is a good base, because transesterification is avoided Practice conceptual checkpoints 22.28 and 22.29 Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e

22.5 Alkylation of the Alpha Proton When 2° or 3° alkyl halides are used, the enolate can act as a base in an E2 reaction. SHOW a mechanism The aldol reaction also competes with the desired alkylation, so a strong base such as LDA must be used Regioselectivity is often an issue when forming enolates If the compound below is treated with a strong base, two enolates can form – see next few slides Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
