  2. Conjugated Dienes Chapter 23

  3. Conjugated Dienes • Dienes are divided into three groups • from heats of hydrogenation, we can compare relative stabilities of conjugated and unconjugated dienes

  4. Conjugated Dienes .

  5. Conjugated Dienes • conjugation of the double bonds in 1,3-butadiene gives an extra stability of approximately 17 kJ (4.1 kcal)/mol

  6. Conjugated Dienes • the pi system of butadiene is derived from the combination of four 2p atomic orbitals; there are two bonding MOs and two antibonding MOs

  7. Conjugated Systems • systems containing conjugated double bonds, not just those of dienes, are more stable than those containing unconjugated double bonds

  8. 1,2- and 1,4-Addition • Addition of 1 mole of HBr to butadiene at -78°C gives a mixture of two constitutional isomers • we account for these products by the following two-step mechanism

  9. 1,2- and 1,4-Addition • the key intermediate is a resonance-stabilized allylic carbocation

  10. 1,2- and 1,4-Addition • Addition of 1 mole of Br2 to butadiene at -15°C also gives a mixture of two constitutional isomers • we account for the formation of these 1,2- and 1,4-addition products by a similar mechanism

  11. Additional Exptl Info • for addition of HBr at -78°C and Br2 at -15°C, the 1,2-addition products predominate; at higher temperatures (40° to 60°C), the 1,4-addition products predominate • if the products of low temperature addition are warmed to the higher temperature, the product composition becomes identical to the higher temperature distribution; the same result can be accomplished using a Lewis acid catalyst, such as FeCl3 or ZnCl2 • if either pure 1,2- or pure 1,4- addition product is dissolved in an inert solvent at the higher temperature and a Lewis acid catalyst added, an equilibrium mixture of 1,2- and 1,4-product forms; the same equilibrium mixture is obtained regardless of which isomer is used as the starting material

  12. 1,2- and 1,4-Addition • We interpret these results using the concepts of kinetic and thermodynamic control of reactions • Kinetic control: the distribution of products is determined by their relative rates of formation • in addition of HBr and Br2 to a conjugated diene, 1,2-addition occurs faster than 1,4-addition

  13. 1,2- and 1,4-Addition • Thermodynamic control: the distribution of products is determined by their relative stabilities • in addition of HBr and Br2 to a butadiene, the 1,4-addition product is more stable than the 1,2-addition product

  14. 1,2- and 1,4-Addition • Is it a general rule that where two or more products are formed from a common intermediate, that the thermodynamically less stable product is formed at a greater rate? • No • whether the thermodynamically more or less stable product is formed at a greater rate from a common intermediate depends very much on the particular reaction and reaction conditions

  15. Diels-Alder Reaction • Diels-Alder reaction: a cycloaddition reaction of a conjugated diene and certain types of double and triple bonds • dienophile: diene-loving • Diels-Alder adduct: the product of a Diels-Alder reaction

  16. Diels-Alder Reaction • alkynes also function as dienophiles • cycloaddition reaction:a reaction in which two reactants add together in a single step to form a cyclic product

  17. Diels-Alder Reaction • we write a Diels-Alder reaction in the following way • the special value of a D-A reaction is that it (1) forms six-membered rings (2) forms two new C-C bonds at the same time (3) is stereospecific and regioselective

  18. Diels-Alder Reaction • the conformation of the diene must be s-cis

  19. Diels-Alder Reaction • (2Z,4Z)-2,4-hexadiene is unreactive in Diels-Alder reactions because nonbonded interactions prevent it from assuming the planar s-cis conformation

  20. Diels-Alder Reaction • reaction is facilitated by a combination of electron-withdrawing substituents on one reactant and electron-releasing substituents on the other

  21. Diels-Alder Reaction

  22. Diels-Alder Reaction • the Diels-Alder reaction can be used to form bicyclic systems

  23. Diels-Alder Reaction • exo and endo are relative to the double bond derived from the diene

  24. Diels-Alder Reaction • for a Diels-Alder reaction under kinetic control, endo orientation of the dienophile is favored

  25. Diels-Alder Reaction • the configuration of the dienophile is retained

  26. Diels-Alder Reaction • Mechanism • no evidence for the participation of either radical of ionic intermediates • chemists propose that the Diels-Alder reaction is a pericyclic reaction • Pericyclic reaction: a reaction that takes place in a single step, without intermediates, and involves a cyclic redistribution of bonding electrons

  27. Aromatic Transition States • Hückel criteria for aromaticity: the presence of (4n + 2) pi electrons in a ring that is planar and fully conjugated • Just as aromaticity imparts a special stability to certain types of molecules and ions, the presence of (4n + 2) electrons in a cyclic transition state imparts a special stability to certain types of transition states • reactions involving 2, 6, 10, 14.... electrons in a cyclic transition state have especially low activation energies and take place particularly readily

  28. Aromatic Transition States • decarboxylation of -keto acids and -dicarboxylic acids (Section 17.9) • Cope elimination of amine N-oxides (Section 22.11)

  29. Aromatic Transition States • the Diels-Alder reaction • We now look at examples of two more reactions that proceed by aromatic transition states • Claisen rearrangement • Cope rearrangement

  30. Claisen Rearrangement • Claisen rearrangement: a thermal rearrangement of allyl phenyl ethers to o-allyl phenols

  31. Claisen Rearrangement

  32. Claisen Rearrangement Example 23.7 Predict the product of this Claisen rearrangement

  33. Cope Rearrangement • Cope rearrangement: a thermal isomerization of 1,5-dienes
