SN2 Reaction in Adrenaline Synthesis
End Exam III
33
• Organic synthesis is the systematic preparation of acompound from a readily available starting material by one ormany steps.
• Nucleophilic substitution reactions, especially SN2, are usedto introduce a wide variety of functional groups into amolecule, depending on the nucleophile.
• Organic synthesis has produced many useful compounds(e.g., pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and polymers used ineveryday life).
• Chemists may rely on synthesis to prepare useful substancessuch as a natural product produced by organisms, but in onlyminute amounts (e.g., Taxol used in cancer treatment).
Organic Synthesis

Organic Synthesis Using Alkyl Halides
5
• To carry out the synthesis of a particular compound, we mustthink backwards, and ask ourselves the question:“What starting material and reagents are needed to make it?”
• If a nucleophilic substitution is being used, determine whatalkyl halide and what nucleophile can be used to form a specificproduct.
Thinking Backwards in Organic Synthesis
6
• To determine the two components needed for synthesis,remember that the carbon atoms come from the organicstarting material, in this case, a 1° alkyl halide.
• The functional group comes from the nucleophile, HO¯ inthis case.
• With these two components, we can “fill in the boxes” tocomplete the synthesis.

• Elimination reactions involve the loss of elements fromthe starting material to form a new π bond in the product.
General Features of Elimination
9
• In both example reactions a base removes the elementsof an acid, HX, from the organic starting material.
Elimination of HX
10
• Removal of the elements HX is calleddehydrohalogenation.
• Dehydrohalogenation is an example of β elimination.
• The curved arrow formalism shown below illustrateshow four bonds are broken or formed in the process.
Dehydrohalogenation
11
• The most common bases used in elimination reactionsare negatively charged oxygen compounds, such as HO¯and its alkyl derivatives, RO¯, called alkoxides.
Common Bases for Dehydrohalogenation
12
• Find the α carbon.
• Identify all β carbons with H atoms.
• Remove the elements of H and X from the α and β carbonsand form a π bond.
Drawing Products of Dehydrohalogenation
13
• Alkenes are hydrocarbons containing a carbon-carbondouble bond.
• Each carbon of the double bond is sp2 hybridized.
• The alkene carbons are trigonal planar.
• The bond angles are 120o.
Alkenes
14
• The double bond of an alkene consists of a σ bond and aπ bond.
Alkene Structure
15
• Alkenes are classified according to the number of carbonatoms bonded to the carbons of the double bond.

Classifying Alkenes
16
• Recall that even though there is free rotation around singlebonds, rotation about double bonds is restricted.
Figure 8.2
Restricted Rotation About Double Bonds
17
• Because of restricted rotation, two stereoisomers of 2-butene are possible.
• cis-2-Butene and trans-2-butene are diastereomers (i.e.,non-mirror image stereoisomers).
Stereoisomers of Alkenes
18
• Whenever the two groups on each end of a carbon-carbon double bond are different from each other, cis-trans isomers are possible.
Alkene Diastereomers
19
• In general, trans alkenes are more stable than cis alkenesbecause the groups bonded to the double bond carbonsare further apart, reducing steric interactions.
Stability of Trans Alkenes
20
• The stability of an alkene increases as the number of Rgroups bonded to the double bond carbons increases.
Stability in Alkenes
21
• The higher the percent s-character, the more readily anatom accepts electron density.
• Thus, sp2 carbons are more able to accept electrondensity and sp3 carbons are more able to donateelectron density.
• Increasing the number of electron donating groups on acarbon atom able to accept electron density makes thealkene more stable.
Stability in Alkenes
22
• The 2-butenes (disubstituted) are more stable than1-butene (monosubstituted).
• trans-2-Butene is more stable than cis-2-butene (lesscrowding).
Relative Stability of Butenes
23
• There are two mechanisms of elimination—E2 and E1,just as there are two mechanisms of substitution, SN2and SN1.
• The E2 mechanism is called bimolecular elimination.
• The E1 mechanism is called unimolecular elimination.
• The E2 and E1 mechanisms differ in the timing of bondcleavage and bond formation, analogous to the SN2 andSN1 mechanisms.
• E2 and SN2 reactions have some features in common, asdo E1 and SN1 reactions.
Elimination Mechanisms
24
• The most common mechanism for dehydrohalogenationis the E2 mechanism.
• It exhibits second-order kinetics, and both the alkylhalide and the base appear in the rate equation.
• The reaction is concerted—all bonds are broken andformed in a single step.
E2 Mechanism
25
E2 Mechanism
• There are close parallels between E2 and SN2 mechanismsin how the identity of the base, the leaving group, and thesolvent affect the rate.
