  1. OC-IV Orbital Concepts and Their Applications in Organic Chemistry Klaus Müller Script ETH Zürich, Spring Semester 2010 Chapter 4 Symmetry-adapted group orbitals Hyperconjugation Walsh-Orbitals

  2. 1 1 √2 √2 Consider the following case of an enol ether p-LMO spn nO-LMO f1 The p-, p*-LMO’s and the two symmetrically equivalent nO-LMO’s would represent a valid starting point for the discussion of the orbital structure of the enol ether. spn nO-LMO f2 However, the two equivalentnO-LMO’s f1 and f2 are not symmetry-adapted to the planar symmetry of the enol ether unit. p-LMO p nOp-type LMO Therefore, it is more convenient to consider the mutual interaction between the two nO-LMO’s firstand, by this, generate symmetry-adapted lone pair orbitals. spm nOs-type LMO Since f1 and f2 are symmetrically related, orthogonal spn hAO’s, they are energetically degenerate; their interaction results a symmetrical split intoan spm-type (s-type) lone pair orbital and an anti-symmetrical (p-type) pure p lone pair orbital: pp (f1 - f2) pp f1 pure pp-type AO ps ps s s f2 -pp (f1 + f2) ps s AO decomposition of the two symmetry equivalent orthonormal spn-type lone pair LMO’s spm-hAO in s-plane

  3. n -1 2n 1 2 n 1+n 1+n 1+n 1+n 1+n 1 1 √2 √2 pp (f1 - f2) pp f1 pure pp-type AO ps ps s s f2 (f1 + f2) -pp ps s spm-hAO in s-plane What is the nature of the s-type (spm) hAO by mixing of two symmetry-equivalent spn hAO‘s? s-char = p-char = spn hAO: the s-type spm hAO collects all s-character from the two spn-hAO‘s, while the total p-character is reduced by 1 p-AO that is consumed by the p-type orbital of the minus-linear combination of the 2 spn hAO‘s: s-char = p-char = - 1 = spm hAO: hence: m = (n -1)/2 sp3 p sp sp3 symmetry-equivalent sp3-hAO‘s (equal energy) symmetry-adapted sp-hAO (s-type, lower energy) and p-AO (p-type, higher energy) sp2 sp0.5 p sp2 symmetry-equivalent sp2-hAO‘s (equal energy) symmetry-adapted sp0.5-hAO (lower energy) and p-AO (higher energy)

  4. The same principles hold true for symmetry-equivalent s-LMO‘s or s*-LMO‘s sCH1-LMO sp3 sp3 p sp sCH2-LMO symmetry-adapted s-type CH2 group orbital (lower energy) and p-type CH2 group orbital (higher energy) symmetry-equivalent sCH-LMO‘s (equal energy) involving sp3-hAO‘s at central atom * sCX1-LMO sp3 sp3 p sp * sCX2-LMO symmetry-adapted s-type CX2 antibonding group orbital and p-type CH2 antibonding group orbital symmetry-equivalent sCX-LMO‘s (equal energy) involving sp3-hAO‘s at central atom * IPp = - ep (eV) 8 ep calculated byPRDDO SCF MOmethod using STO minimal basis set stabilization of p-orbital by small (1,3)-type interactions betweenp-type CH3 group orbitals by ca 0.1 eV per (1,3)p-interaction IPp -ep(yp) 9 dep=0.6 eV dep=1.2 eV dep=1.2 eV dep=1.1 eV dep=1.7 eV dep=2.2 eV 10 -ep-LMO IPp 11 C slightly more electronegative than H: pulling effect in s-system lowers p-LMOby ca 0.1-0.2 eV per CH3 group hyperconjugative upshift of p-LMO by p-type CH3 group orbitalsby ca 0.6 eV per CH3 group

  5. The same principles also hold for the reverse process:generation of symmetry-equivalent LMO‘s from symmetry-adapted LMO‘s: e.g.: t-LMO‘s for a C=C double bond by linear combination of s- and p-LMO‘s: sp5 sp5 sp5 sp5 sp2 sp2 pp pp t1,CC-LMO by +LC t2,CC-LMO by -LC sCC-LMO pCC-LMO rationalization of allylic torsion potential using t-LMO‘s: anticlinal to C=C synclinal to C=C antiplanar to C=C eclipsed to C=C preferred conformation corresponds to torsional transition state torsional energy barrier depends on substitution pattern; DE ~ 1-3 kcal/molfor propene: DE ~ 2.0 kcal/mol t1-LMO Newman projection: in terms of t-LMO description of C=C double bond, the preferred conformation has a staggered arrangement of doubly occupied LMO‘s t2-LMO X-ray structures from the CSD: ZZZDDJ02 ZIZCOA QIMHUP

R e j3 = py de2=de3 de1 j2 = px j1 This results in a split into the C3-symmetrical (s-type) hAO j1 at low energy (75% s-character!) and the two energetically degenerate j2 and j3 orbitals (identical to the pure px and py orbitals, p-type lone pair orbitals); note that these two pp-orbitals, as a group together, represent the C3-axial symmetry. Note that de1 = 2de2 (= 2de3); since the lone pair orbitals are all doubly occupied, the total energy of the lone pairs remains unaffected. sp1/3 hAO pointing along C3 symmetry axis

Analogous transformations convert 3 symmetry-equivalent s-LMO‘s (or s*-LMO‘s) into symmetry-adapted (s)3-group orbitals (or (s*)3-group orbitals): p-typeCH3 group orbital by (0):(1):(-1)-mixing orthogonal p-typeCH3 group orbitalby (2):(-1):(-1)-mixing 2 orthogonal equivalent pCN-LMO’s 3 symmetry- equivalent sCH-LMO’s 2 degenerate orthogonal p-typeCH3 group orbitals e de2=de3 e<< 0 s-typeCH3 group orbitalby (1):(1):(1)-mixing de1 sCH-LMO’s s-type CH3 group orbital
