Chapter 20: Carboxylic Acid Derivatives,OH bad leaving group,What is the relative reactivity of these carboxylic acid derivatives?,Most reactive,Least reactive,L to the right, when acting as Nu, displaces that to the left,= L,Origins of Reactivity Trends,Inductive effects,Elements to the right in a row of PT are more electronegative (nuclear charge increase). Elements down a column in PT are less electronegative (size), but bonds to them get weaker.,Donating ability of L decreases from left to right in the periodic table. The greater the resonance, the shorter the C-L bond.,2. Resonance effects,At the extreme: Hindered rotation in amides on the NMR time scale. The nitrogen is sp2-hybridized to maximize resonance.,Acetyl chloride,Acetamide,Differences reflected in pKa values,Basicity,Protonation gets easier from L = X to O to N,For the same reason, deprotonation gets more difficult,Comparing Reactivity,A. Alkanoyl Halides B. Anhydrides C. Esters D. Amides E. Alkanenitriles,A.

Reduction of alkanoyl chlorides results in aldehydes,Use modified (less reactive form of) LiAlH4,Does not touch the aldehyde product,B. Anhydrides,Names: Add anhydride to the acid name,Acetic anhydride,Pentanedioic anhydride,= Leaving group,+,+,Reactions:,Similar to alkanoyl halides, but anhydrides are less corrosive, cheaper,Mechanism:,Examples:,Regioselective reaction?,Cyclic anhydrides react by ring opening: Allows the regioselective functionalization of a dioic acid.,For example, problem:,Heating the dioic acid produces the cyclic anhydride:,Now, treat with nucleophile to ring open:,:,C.

Fats are biological energy reserves.,Triesters of 1,2,3-propanetriol (glycerol),Example:,Mechanisms: a. Base-mediated,1. Water: Hydrolysis gives carboxylic acids,Reactions of Esters,Work up with acidic water gives RCOOH,b. Acid-catalyzed (as applied to a lactone),2. Alcohols effect transesterification,3. Amines convert esters into amides,Example:,Use 2 equivalents of Grignard reagent,4. Grignard reagents: Esters turn into alcohols,Mechanism:,5. Hydride reagents: Reduce esters to alcohols or aldehydes,LiAlH4 goes all the way:,The milder DIBAL stops at aldehyde stage:,NaBH4 is too unreactive.,Mechanisms: Double or single hydride additions,6. Ester enolates can be alkylated,Similar to aldehyde and ketone enolates. Limitation: Basic!,:,Other alkylating agents:,-,Aldol-like,Intramolecular transesterification,D. Amides,Amide linkage is what holds proteins together.,Names: Alkane Alkanamide Substituents on N labeled N -or N,N - Cycloalkane amides: Cycloalkanecarboxamide Cyclic amides: Lactams,Formamide,Primary,Secondary,N-Methylacetamide,Tertiary,4-Bromo-N-ethyl-N-methylpentanamide,Reactions,1. Hydrolysis to component carboxylic acid and amine,Acid:,Base:,Mechanism of hydrolysis by aqueous base:,Neutralized by aqueous work-up.,2. Reduction to an amine,Mechanism:,3. Reduction to an aldehyde,Mechanism goes by single hydride addition to hemiaminal stage, then hydrolysis.,Acidic, like carboxylic acid,pKa Values higher because amide carbonyl is relatively stabilized by resonance and N is less e-negative than O.,Amide Enolates and Amidates,Acidic, like other carbonyl compounds,Allows alkylation at N or C (if N is blocked):,Only for primary amines:,This constitutes a one-carbon degradation of a chain: Topologically, CO is excised.,4. Hofmann rearrangement,Example:,Mechanism:,Recall: CHCl3 + base -CCl3,6e species,Recall: -CCl3 CCl2 + -Cl,E. Alkanenitriles: RCN,Names: Alkanoic acid alkanenitrile Substituent CN is called cyano Cyanocycloalkanes are called cycloalkanecarbonitriles,Retained by IUPAC,Structure,C and N sp-hybridized like C in alkynes,1H NMR:,Spectra,13C NMR:, 112-126 ppm (close to alkene region),Higher than (65-85 ppm), because N is more electronegative,IR:,Stretch 2250 cm-1,Compare 2120 cm-1 weaker bond,Nitriles are Acidic and Basic,pKa -10,RCH2CN,pKa 25,Alkylation of anion with RX, RC(O)H is possible: Like enolates,Acidic:,Basic,Example:,Hydrolysis: H+ or HO- to carboxylic acids,Recall:,General: RH RX RCN RCOOH,Mechanisms: H+-catalyzed,HO-”catalyzed” (actually need stoichiometric base, because it makes carboxylate first, before acidic work-up),Amide,Use RLi or RMgX reagents,Organometallic reagents attack nitriles to give ketones,General:,Ketone synthesis,Example:,C,N,R,General: RX RCN RCHO,Use LiAlH(OR)3 or,Reduction of nitriles by modified hydrides leads to aldehydes,Example:,LiAlH4 + RCN RCH2NH2 H2 + RCN RCH2NH2,General: RX RCN RCH2NH2,Reduction of nitriles by LiAlH4 or catalytic hydrogenation leads to amines,PtO2,Examples:,Mass Spectrometry,Ionization,Deflection,m/z = Molecular weight per charge (charge usually one),The mass spectrometer distinguishes ions by weight,1 eV 23 kcal mol-1,High-resolution mass spectrometry reveals molecular formulas,High Resolution Mass Spectrometry,Molecular ions with 70 eV ( 1600 kcal mol-1) undergo fragmentation,There are two ways of fragmenting a radical cation to a radical (uncharged, hence undetected) and a cation.,Fragmentation,Mass Spectrum of CH4,Largest peak (base peak): defined as 100%. Not always the molecular ion!,Due to 13C natural abundance,Mass spectra reveal the presence of isotopes:,13C natural abundance is 1.1%; therefore relative height of M+1 peak = n x 1.1%, where n = number of carbons. Other isotopes: 18O: 0.204%; 35Cl : 37Cl = 3:1; 79Br : 81Br = 1:1,Mass spectrum of 1-bromopropane,m/z = 43; due to propyl,Fragmentation is more likely at a highly substituted center: Follows carbocation stabilities: tertiary secondary primary,Examples: C5H12 isomers,All C-C bonds are ruptured with roughly equal probability. Note: Fragments have odd weight.,Mass spectrum of pentane,The peaks at m/z = 43 and 57 result from preferred fragmentation around C2 to give secondary carbocations.,Mass spectrum of 2-methylbutane,Only a very weak molecular ion peak is seen, because the fragmentation to give a tertiary cation is favored.,Mass spectrum of 2,2-dimethylpropane,Alcohols:,M+ often not observed,Fragmentation also helps to identify functional groups,Alcohol Fragmentation by Dehydration and Cleavage:,Characteristic of water; fragment ion is even,Mass spectrum of 1-butanol,The parent ion, at m/z = 74, gives rise to a small peak because of ready loss of water to give the ion at m/z = 56.,Alkenes fragment to give resonance-stabilized cations,Mass spectrum of 1-butene,Mass spectrum of 2-hexene,Ketones:,Acylium ions,Mass Spectrum of 2-Pentanone,Shows two peaks for cleavage and one for “McLafferty rearrangement” (m/z = 58), coming up.,Mass Spectrum of 3-pentanone,Shows only a single cleavage peak because of symmetry,General:,McLafferty Rearrangement,Example: 2-Pentanone,Ethene and acetone enol are produced.,Needs an H in position to carbonyl: Allows aromatic, 6 e TS,The Mass Spectrum of Estrone,
