Exam 3 Sebahar Flashcards
What is important to remember about E2?
Anti peri planar arrangement of H and X
Alkene + McPBA?
Epoxide
Alcohol + H2SO4 or H30+ and Heat
Alkene
Alcohol + POCl3, py
Alkene (E2)
Alcohol + HX
RX + H2O, protonate the alcohol, creates a leaving group and then water comes in.
Alcohol + SOCl2, py
R-Cl with inversion of stereochemistry
Alcohol + PBr3
R-Br with Inversion of Stereochemistry
Alcohol + TsCl, py
R-OTs with retention of stereochemistry
R-O-R + HX (2 equivalents)
R-X + R-X + H2O (Cleavage)
Epoxide + Nucleophile (basic conditions)
Nucleophile attacks the less substituted side
Epoxide + Acidic Conditions
Z (conjugate base) attacks the more substituted side
Alkene + HX
H bonds to less substituted carbon, syn and anti
Alkene + H2SO4, H2O
H bonds to less substituted carbon, syn and anti addition
Alkene + H2SO4, HOR
H bonds to the less substituted carbon, syn and anti addition, OR on one side instead of OH
Alkene + X2
Anti Addition
Alkene + X2, H2O
X bonds to the less substituted Carbon, anti addition occurs
Alkene + BH3 or 9BBN, H2O2, -OH
OH bonds to the less substituted carbon, syn addition only
Alkyne + HX (2 equivalents)
The halogens bond to the same carbon and the hydrogens bond to the same carbon.
Alkyne + X2 (2 equivalents)
halogens bond and saturate both carbons. Bridged halonium ions formed as intermediates
