ALKOHOL, ETER, EPOKSIDA

Senyawa organik yang mengandung oksigen

• Alkohol mengandung gugus hidroksi (OH) yang diikatkan pada atom karbon dg hibridisasi sp3.

Enol and Fenol • Senyawa yang mempunyai gugus hidroksi pada atom karbon yang memiliki hibridisasi sp2 • enol dan fenol mengalami reaksi yang berbeda dengan alkohol.

• Ethers have two alkyl groups bonded to an oxygen atom.

Structure and Bonding of Epoxides • Epoxides are ethers having the oxygen atom in a threemembered ring. Epoxides are also called oxiranes.

• The C—O—C bond angle for an epoxide must be 600, a considerable deviation from the tetrahedral bond angle of 109.50. Thus, epoxides have angle strain, making them more reactive than other ethers.

Structure and Bonding of Alcohols and Ethers • The oxygen atom in alcohols, ethers and epoxides is sp3 hybridized. Alcohols and ethers have a bent shape like that in H2O. • The bond angle around the O atom in an alcohol or either is similar to the tetrahedral bond angle of 109.5 0. • Because the O atom is much more electronegative than carbon or hydrogen, the C—O and O—H bonds are all polar.

Nomenclature of Alcohols

Nomenclature of Alcohols in Ring Systems • When an OH group is bonded to a ring, the ring is numbered beginning with the OH group. • Because the functional group is at C1, the 1 is usually omitted from the name. • The ring is then numbered in a clockwise or counterclockwise fashion to give the next substituent the lowest number.

Common Names of Alcohols • Common names are often used for simple alcohols. To assign a common name: o Name all the carbon atoms of the molecule as a single alkyl group. o Add the word alcohol, separating the words with a space.

Nomenclature of Diols & Triols • Compounds with two hydroxy groups are called diols or glycols. Compounds with three hydroxy groups are called triols and so forth.

Nomenclature of Simple Ethers • Simple ethers are usually assigned common names. To do so: o Name both alkyl groups bonded to the oxygen, arrange these names alphabetically, and add the word ether. o For symmetrical ethers, name the alkyl group and add the prefix “di-”.

Nomenclature of Complex Ethers • More complex ethers are named using the IUPAC system. One alkyl group is named as a hydrocarbon chain, and the other is named as part of a substituent bonded to that chain: o Name the simpler alkyl group as an alkoxy substituent by changing the –yl ending of the alkyl group to –oxy. o Name the remaining alkyl group as an alkane, with the alkoxy group as a substituent bonded to this chain.

• Cyclic ethers have an O atom in the ring. A common example is tetrahydrofuran (THF).

Nomenclature of Epoxides • Epoxides bonded to a chain of carbon atoms are named as derivatives of oxirane. • When an epoxide is bonded to a ring, the O atom is considered a substituent, called an epoxy group, bonded to a cycloalkane, and two numbers are used to designate the atoms to which the O atoms are bonded.

Common Names of Epoxides • Epoxides are also named as alkene oxides, because they are often prepared by adding an O atom to an alkene. To name an epoxide in this way: o Mentally replace the epoxide oxygen by a double bond. o Name the alkene. o Add the word oxide.

Physical Properties • Alcohols, ethers and epoxides exhibit dipole-dipole interactions because they have a bent structure with two polar bonds. • Alcohols are capable of intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Thus, alcohols are more polar than ethers and epoxides.

• Steric factors affect hydrogen bonding.

Interesting Ethers

Crown Ethers • The ability of crown ethers to complex cations can be exploited in nucleophilic substitution reactions, as shown in Figure 9.5.

Preparation of Alcohols and Ethers

recall

• Alcohols and ethers are both common products of nucleophilic substitution.

• The preparation of ethers by this method is called the Williamson ether synthesis.

Preparation of Ethers • Unsymmetrical ethers can be synthesized in two different ways, but often one path is preferred.

Preparation of Alkoxides • An alkoxide salt is needed to make an ether. • Alkoxides can be prepared from alcohols by a Br ØnstedLowry acid—base reaction. For example, sodium ethoxide (NaOCH2CH3) is prepared by treating ethanol with NaH.

• NaH is an especially good base for forming alkoxide because the by-product of the reaction, H2, is a gas that just bubbles out of the reaction mixture.

Preparation of Epoxides • Organic compounds that contain both a hydroxy group and a halogen atom on adjacent carbons are called halohydrins. • In halohydrins, an intramolecular version of the Williamson ether synthesis can occur to form epoxides.

Dehydration of Alcohols

The Dehydration Reaction • Dehydration, like dehydrohalogenation, is a  elimination reaction in which the elements of OH and H are removed from the  and  carbon atoms respectively.

• Dehydration is typically carried out using H2SO4 and other strong acids, or phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) in the presence of an amine base.

Acids used in Dehydration Reactions • Typical acids used for alcohol dehydration are H2SO4 or ptoluenesulfonic acid (TsOH).

• More substituted alcohols dehydrate more easily, giving rise to the following order of reactivity.

Dehydration Products • When an alcohol has two or three  carbons, dehydration is regioselective and follows the Zaitsev rule. • The more substituted alkene is the major product when a mixture of constitutional isomers is possible.

Mechanisms for the Dehydration Reaction • Secondary and 30 alcohols react by an E1 mechanism, whereas 10 alcohols react by an E2 mechanism.

E1 Mechanism with 20 and 30 Alcohols • The E1 dehydration of 20 and 30 alcohols with acid gives clean elimination products without any by-products formed from an SN1 reaction. • Clean elimination takes place because the reaction mixture contains no good nucleophile to react with the intermediate carbocation, so no competing SN1 reaction occurs. • This makes the E1 dehydration of alcohols much more synthetically useful than the E1 dehydrohalogenation of alkyl halides.

E2 Mechanism with Primary Alcohols • Since 10 carbocations are highly unstable, their dehydration cannot occur by an E1 mechanism involving a carbocation intermediate. Therefore, 10 alcohols undergo dehydration following an E2 mechanism.

Dehydration is an Endothermic Process • Although entropy favors product formation in dehydration (i.e. one molecule of reactant forms two molecules of product), enthalpy does not, since the  bonds broken in the reactant are stronger than the  and  bonds formed in the products.

Driving the Reaction to form Product • According to Le Châtelier’s principle, a system at equilibrium will react to counteract any disturbance to the equilibrium. One consequence of this is that removing a product from a reaction mixture as it is formed drives the equilibrium to the right, forming more product. Thus, the alkene, which usually has a lower boiling point than the starting alcohol, can be removed by distillation as it is formed, thus driving the equilibrium to the right to favor production of more product.

Carbocation Rearrangement

Carbocation Rearrangements • Often, when carbocations are intermediates, a less stable carbocation can rearrange to a more stable carbocation by a shift of a hydrogen or an alkyl group. This is called a rearrangement. • Because the migrating group in a 1,2-shift moves with two bonding electrons, the carbon it leaves behind now has only three bonds (six electrons), giving it a net positive (+) charge.

1,2-Methyl Shift

1,2-Shift to the More Stable Carbocation • A 1,2-shift converts a less stable carbocation to a more stable carbocation. • Rearrangements are not unique to dehydration reactions. Rearrangements occur whenever a carbocation is formed as a reactive intermediate. Consider the example below. 20 Carbocation A rearranges to the more stable 30 carbocation by a 1,2-hydride shift, whereas carbocation B does not rearrange because it is 3 0 to begin with.

Dehydration of Alcohols Using POCl3 and Pyridine • Some organic compounds decompose in the presence of strong acid, so other methods have been developed to convert alcohols to alkenes. • A common method uses phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) and pyridine (an amine base) in place of H2SO4 or TsOH.

• POCl3 serves much the same role as a strong acid does in acid-catalyzed dehydration. It converts a poor leaving group (¯OH) into a good leaving group. • Dehydration then proceeds by an E2 mechanism.(no rearrangements.)

Dehydration of Alcohols Using POCl3 and Pyridine

Dehydration of Alcohols Using POCl3 and Pyridine Two examples of dehydration reactions used in the synthesis of natural products are given in Figure 9.7.

Conversion of Alcohols to Alkyl Halides

Conversion of Alcohols to Alkyl Halides with HX • Substitution reactions do not occur with alcohols unless ¯OH is converted into a good leaving group.

• The reaction of alcohols with HX (X = Cl, Br, I) is a general method to prepare 10, 20, and 30 alkyl halides.

Conversion of Alcohols to Alkyl Halides with HX • More substituted alcohols usually react more rapidly with HX:

• This order of reactivity can be rationalized by considering the reaction mechanisms involved. The mechanism depends on the structure of the R group.

Conversion of Alcohols to Alkyl Halides with HX

Conversion of Alcohols to Alkyl Halides with HX • The reactivity of hydrogen halides increases with increasing acidity.

• Because Cl¯ is a poorer nucleophile than Br¯ or I¯, the reaction of 10 alcohols with HCl occurs only when an additional Lewis acid catalyst, usually ZnCl2, is added. Complexation of ZnCl2 with the O atom of the alcohol make a very good leaving group that facilitates the SN2 reaction.

Conversion of Alcohols to Alkyl Halides with HX • Knowing the mechanism allows us to predict the stereochemistry of the products when the reaction occurs at a stereogenic center.

Alcohols to Alkyl Halides Using SOCl2 & PBr3

Conversion of Alcohols to Alkyl Halides with SOCl2 and PBr3 • Primary and 20 alcohols can be converted to alkyl halides using SOCl2 and PBr3. • SOCl2 (thionyl chloride) converts alcohols into alkyl chlorides. • PBr3 (phosphorus tribromide) converts alcohols into alkyl bromides. • Both reagents convert ¯OH into a good leaving group in situ—that is, directly in the reaction mixture—as well as provide the nucleophile, either Cl¯ or Br¯, to displace the leaving group.

Conversion of Alcohols to Alkyl Halides with SOCl2 and PBr3 • When a 10 or 20 alcohol is treated with SOCl2 and pyridine, an alkyl chloride is formed, with HCl and SO 2 as byproducts.

• The mechanism of this reaction consists of two parts: conversion of the OH group into a better leaving group, and nucleophilic cleavage by Cl¯ via an SN2 reaction.

Conversion of Alcohols to Alkyl Halides with SOCl2 and PBr3

• Treatment of a 10 or 20 alcohol with PBr3 forms an alkyl halide.

• The mechanism of this reaction also consists of two parts: conversion of the OH group into a better leaving group, and nucleophilic cleavage by Br¯ via an SN2 reaction.

Tosylate Leaving Group

Tosylate—Another Good Leaving Group • Alcohols can be converted into alkyl tosylates. • An alkyl tosylate is composed of two parts: the alkyl group R, derived from an alcohol; and the tosylate (short from ptoluenesulfonate), which is a good leaving group. • A tosyl group, CH3C6H4SO2¯, is abbreviated Ts, so an alkyl tosylate becomes ROTs.

Tosylate—Another Good Leaving Group • Alcohols are converted to tosylates by treatment with ptoluenesulfonyl chloride (TsCl) in the presence of pyridine. • This process converts a poor leaving group (¯OH) into a good one (¯OTs). • Tosylate is a good leaving because its conjugate acid, ptoluenesulfonic acid (CH3C6H4SO3H, TsOH) is a strong acid (pKa = -7).

Tosylate—Another Good Leaving Group • (S)-2-Butanol is converted to its tosylate with retention of configuration at the stereogenic center. Thus, the C —O bond of the alcohol is not be broken when tosylate is formed.

Tosylate—Another Good Leaving Group • Because alkyl tosylates have good leaving groups, they undergo both nucleophilic substitution and  elimination, exactly as alkyl halides do. • Generally, alkyl tosylates are treated with strong nucleophiles and bases, so the mechanism of substitution is SN2, and the mechanism of elimination is E2.

Tosylate—Another Good Leaving Group • Because substitution occurs via an SN2 mechanism, inversion of configuration results when the leaving group is bonded to a stereogenic center.

• We now have another two-step method to convert an alcohol to a substitution product: reaction of an alcohol with TsCl and pyridine to form a tosylate (step 1), followed by nucleophilic attack on the tosylate (step 2).

Tosylate—Another Good Leaving Group • Step 1, formation of the tosylate, proceeds with retention of configuration at a stereogenic center. • Step 2 is an SN2 reaction, so it proceeds with inversion of configuration because the nucleophile attacks from the backside. • Overall there is a net inversion of configuration at a stereogenic center.

Conversion of Alcohols to Alkyl Halides

Reactions with Ethers

Reaction of Ethers with Strong Acid • In order for ethers to undergo substitution or elimination reactions, their poor leaving group must first be converted into a good leaving group by reaction with strong acids such as HBr and HI. HBr and HI are strong acids that are also sources of good nucleophiles (Br¯ and I¯ respectively). • When ethers react with HBr or HI, both C—O bonds are cleaved and two alkyl halides are formed as products.

Reaction of Ethers with Strong Acid • The mechanism of ether cleavage is SN1 or SN2, depending on the identity of R. • With 20 or 30 alkyl groups are bonded to the ether oxygen, the C —O bond is cleaved by an SN1 mechanism involving a carbocation. With methyl or 10 R groups, the C—O bond is cleaved by an SN2 mechanism. Example: in the reaction of (CH3)3COCH3 with HI, the 30 alkyl group undergoes nucleophilic substitution by an SN1 mechanism, resulting in the cleavage of one C—O bond. The methyl group undergoes nucleophilic substitution by an S N2 mechanism, resulting in the cleavage of the second C—O bond.

Reaction of Ethers with Strong Acid

Reactions of Epoxides

Reactions of Epoxides • The reaction occurs readily with strong nucleophiles and with acids like HZ, where Z is a nucleophilic atom.

Common nucleophiles that open the epoxide ring include ¯OH, ¯OR, ¯CN, ¯SR and NH3. With these strong nucleophiles, the reaction occurs by an SN2 mechanism

How Nucleophiles Attack Epoxides Consider the following real examples:

The stereochemical consequences of the reaction of 1,2-epoxycyclohexane with ¯OCH3.

Nucleophilic attack of ¯OCH3 occurs from the backside at either C—O bond, because both ends are equally distributed. Since attack at either side occurs with equal probability, an equal amount of the two enantiomers is formed—a racemic mixture.

Nucleophilic attack on Epoxides

Optically inactive starting materials give optically inactive products!

Reactions of Epoxides with Strong Acids • HCl, HBr and HI, as well as H2O and ROH in the presence of acid, all open an epoxide ring.

Mechanism for Epoxide Ring Opening Rxns. with Acids

Regioselectivity in Epoxide Ring Opening Rxns. • Ring opening of an epoxide with either a strong nucleophile or an acid HZ is regioselective because one constitutional isomer is the major or exclusive product. • Note that the site selectivity of these two reactions is exactly the opposite.
