SynthesisDID YOU EVER WONDER…what vitamins are and why we need them?

Vitamins are essential nutrients that our bodies require in order to function properly, and a deficiency of particular vitamins can

lead to diseases, many of which can be fatal. Later in this chapter, we will learn more about the discovery of vitamins, and we will see that the laboratory synthesis of one particular vitamin represented a land-mark event in the history of synthetic organic chemistry. This chapter

serves as a brief introduction to organic synthesis.Until this point in the text, we have

only seen a limited number of reactions (a few dozen, at most). In this chapter, our modest repertoire of reactions will allow us

to develop a methodical, step-by-step process for proposing syntheses.

We will begin with one-step synthesis problems and then progress toward more chal-lenging multistep problems. The goal of this chapter is

to develop the fundamental skills required for proposing a

synthesis.

12.1 One-Step Syntheses 537

DO YOU REMEMBER?Before you go on, be sure you understand the following topics.If necessary, review the suggested sections to prepare for this chapter.

12.1 One-Step Syntheses

The most straightforward synthesis problems are the ones that can be solved in just one step. For example, consider the following:

Br

Br

This transformation can be accomplished by treating the alkene with Br2 in an inert solvent, such as CCl4. Other synthesis problems might require more than a single step, and those problems will be more challenging. Before approaching multistep synthesis problems, it is absolutely essential to become comfortable with one-step syntheses. In other words, it is critical to achieve mastery over all reagents described in the previous chapters. If you can’t identify the reagents necessary for a one-step synthesis problem, then certainly you will be unable to solve more complex problems. The following exercises represent a broad review of the reactions in previous chapters. These exercises are designed to help you identify which reagents are still not at the forefront of your consciousness:

12.2 Functional Group Transformations

In the previous few chapters, we developed several synthesis strategies that enable us to move the location of a functional group or change its identity. Let’s briefly review these techniques, as they will be extremely helpful when solving multistep synthesis problems.

In Chapter 9, we developed a technique for changing the position of a halogen by perform-ing an elimination reaction followed by an addition reaction. For example:

Br BrAdditionElimination

In this two-step process, the halogen is removed and then reinstalled at a different location. The regiochemical outcome of each step must be carefully controlled. The choice of base in the elimination step determines whether the more substituted or the less substituted alkene is formed. In the addition step, the decision whether or not to use peroxides will determine whether a Markovnikov addition or an anti-Markovnikov addition occurs.

12.2 Functional Group Transformations 539

As we saw in Chapter 9, this technique must be slightly modified when the functional group is a hydroxyl group (OH). In such a case, the hydroxyl group must first be converted into a tosylate (a bet-ter leaving group), and only then can the technique be employed (elimination followed by addition):

OH OTs

After converting the hydroxyl group into a tosylate, the regiochemical outcome for elimination and addition can be carefully controlled, as summarized below:

12.3 Reactions That Change the Carbon Skeleton 543

12.3 Reactions That Change the Carbon Skeleton

In all of the problems in the previous section, the functional group changed its identity or location, but the carbon skeleton always remained the same. In this section, we will focus on examples in which the carbon skeleton changes. In some cases, the number of carbon atoms in the skeleton increases, and in other cases, the number of carbon atoms decreases.

If the size of the carbon skeleton increases, then a C—C bond-forming reaction is required. Thus far, we have only learned one reaction that can be used to introduce an alkyl group onto an existing carbon skeleton. Alkylation of a terminal alkyne (Section 10.10) will increase the size of a carbon skeleton:

Over time, we will see many other C—C bond-forming reactions, but for now, the knowledge that we have only seen one such reaction should greatly simplify the problems in this section, enabling a smooth transition into the world of synthetic organic chemistry.

If the size of the carbon skeleton decreases, then a C—C bond-breaking reaction, called bond cleavage, is required. Once again, we have only seen one such reaction. Ozonolysis of an alkene (or alkyne) achieves bond cleavage at the location of the π bond:

12.4 How to Approach a Synthesis Problem

In the previous two sections, we covered two critical skills: (1) functional group transformations and (2) changing the carbon skeleton. In this section, we will explore synthesis problems that require both skills. From this point forward, every synthesis problem should be approached by asking the following two questions:

1. Is there a change in the carbon skeleton? Compare the starting material with the product to determine if the carbon skeleton is gaining or losing carbon atoms.

2. Is there a change in the identity or location of the functional group? Is one functional group converted into another, and does the position of functionality change?

The following example demonstrates how these two questions should be applied.

need more PRACTICE?

By asking both questions, the following two tasks have been identified: (1) two carbon atoms must be installed and (2) the triple bond must be converted into a double bond in its current loca-tion. For each of these tasks, we must determine what reagents to use:

1. What reagents will add two carbon atoms to a skeleton?

2. What reagents will convert a triple bond into a trans double bond?

Two new carbon atoms can be introduced via alkylation of the starting alkyne:

1) NaNH2

2) EtI

Now that the correct carbon skeleton has been established, reduction of the triple bond can be accomplished via a dissolving metal reduction to afford the trans alkene:

Na , NH3 (l )

The solution to this problem requires two steps: (1) alkylation of the alkyne followed by (2) conversion of the triple bond into a double bond. Notice the order of events. If the triple bond had first been converted into a double bond, the alkylation process would not work. Only a terminal triple bond can be alkylated, not a terminal double bond.

12.5 Retrosynthetic Analysis

As we progress through the course and increase our repertoire of reactions, synthesis problems will become increasingly more challenging. To meet this challenge, a modified approach will be necessary. The same two fundamental questions (as described in the previous section) will continue to serve as a starting point for analyzing all synthesis problems, but instead of trying

550 CHAPTER 12 Synthesis

to identify the first step of the synthesis, we will begin by trying to identify the last step of the synthesis. Analysis of the following synthesis problem will illustrate this process:

An alcohol

OH

An alkyne

?

Rather than focusing on what can be done with an alcohol that will ultimately lead to an alkyne, we instead focus on reactions that can generate an alkyne:

Focuson this step

OH

In this way, we work backward until arriving at the starting material. Chemists have intuitively used this approach for many years, but E. J. Corey (Harvard University) was the first to develop a systematic set of principles for application of this approach, which he called retrosyntheticanalysis. Let’s use a retrosynthetic analysis to solve the problem above.

We must always begin by determining whether there is a change in the carbon skeleton or in the identity or location of the functional group. In this case, both the starting mate-rial and the product contain five carbon atoms, and the carbon skeleton is not changing in this instance. However, there is a change in the functional group. Specifically, an alcohol is converted into an alkyne but remains in the same location in the skeleton. We have not learned a way to do this in just one step. In fact, using reactions covered so far, this transfor-mation cannot be accomplished even in two steps. So we approach this problem backwardand ask: “How are triple bonds made?” We have only covered one way to make a triple bond. Specifically, a dihalide undergoes two successive E2 eliminations in the presence of excess NaNH2 (Section 10.4). Any one of the following three dihalides could be used to form the desired alkyne:

Geminaldibromide

klein_c12_536-563hr.indd 550 7/15/10 12:47 PM

Page 16: Klein Ch12

12.5 Retrosynthetic Analysis 551

The geminal dibromides can be ruled out, because we only saw one way to make a geminal dihalide—and that was starting from an alkyne. We certainly do not want to start with an alkyne in order to produce the very same alkyne:

OH

BrBr

?

Therefore, the last step of our synthesis must be formation of the alkyne from a vicinal dihalide:

OH ?

Br

A special retrosynthetic arrow is used by chemists to indicate this type of “backward” thinking:

this dibromide

Br

Br

This alkyne

Don’t be confused by this retrosynthetic arrow. It indicates a hypothetical synthetic pathway thinking backward from the product (alkyne). In other words, the previous figure should be read as: “In the last step of our synthesis, the alkyne can be made from a vicinal dibromide.”

Now let’s try to go backward one more step. We have learned only one way to make a vicinal dihalide, starting with an alkene:

Br

Notice again the retrosynthetic arrow. The figure indicates that the vicinal dibromide can be made from an alkene. In other words, the alkene can be used as a precursor to prepare the desired dibromide.

Therefore, our retrosynthetic analysis, so far, looks like this:

This scheme indicates that the product (alkyne) can be prepared from the alkene. This sequence of events represents one of the strategies discussed earlier in this chapter—converting a double bond into a triple bond:

3) H2O

In order to complete the synthesis, the starting material must be converted into the alkene. At this point, we can think forward, in an attempt to converge with the pathway revealed by the retrosynthetic analysis:

This step can be accomplished with an E2 elimination. Just remember that the hydroxyl group must first be converted into a tosylate (a better leaving group). Then, an E2 elimination will create an alkene, which bridges the gap between the starting material and the product:

The synthesis seems complete. However, before recording the answer, it is always helpful to review all of the proposed steps and make sure that the regiochemistry and stereochemistry of each step will lead to the desired product as a major product. It would be inefficient to involve

12.6 Practical Tips for Increasing Proficiency

Organizing a Synthetic “Toolbox” of ReactionsAll of the reactions in this course will collectively represent your “toolbox” for proposing syntheses. It will be very helpful to prepare two lists that parallel the two questions that must be considered in every synthesis problem (change in the carbon skeleton and change in thefunctional group). The first list should contain C—C bond-forming reactions and C—C bond-breaking reactions. At this point, this list is very small. We have only seen one of each: alkylation of alkynes for C—C bond forming and ozonolysis for C—C bond breaking. As the course progresses, more reactions will be added to the list, which will remain relatively small but very powerful. The second list should contain functional group transformations, and it will be longer.

As we move through the course, both lists will grow. For solving synthesis problems, it will be helpful to have the reactions categorized in this way in your mind.

klein_c12_536-563hr.indd 557 7/15/10 12:47 PM

Page 23: Klein Ch12

558 CHAPTER 12 Synthesis

Creating Your Own Synthesis ProblemsA helpful method for practicing synthesis strategies is to construct your own problems. The process of designing problems often uncovers patterns and new ways of thinking about the reactions. Begin by choosing a starting compound. To illustrate this, let’s begin by choosing a simple starting compound, such as acetylene. Then choose a reaction expected for a triple bond, perhaps an alkylation:

1) NaNH2

2) MeI

Next, choose another reaction, perhaps another alkylation:

1) NaNH2

2) MeI1) NaNH2

2) MeI

Then, treat the alkyne with another reagent. Look at the list of reactions of alkynes and choose one; perhaps hydrogenation with a poisoned catalyst:

1) NaNH2

2) MeI1) NaNH2

2) MeIH2

Lindlar’s catalyst

Finally, simply erase everything except for the starting compound and the final product. The result is a synthesis problem:

Once you have created your own synthesis problem, it might be a really good problem, but it won’t be helpful for you to solve it. You already know the answer! Nevertheless, the process of cre-ating your own synthesis problems will be very helpful to you in sharpening your synthesis skills.

Once you have created several of your own problems, try to find a study partner who is also willing to create several problems. Each of you can swap problems, try to solve each other’s problems, and then get back together to discuss the answers. You are likely to find that exercise to be very rewarding.

Multiple Correct AnswersRemember that most synthesis problems will have numerous correct answers. As an example, anti-Markovnikov hydration of an alkene can be achieved through either of the two possible routes:

OH

1) BH3 THF

2) H2O2, NaOH

1) HBr, ROOR2) NaOH

The first pathway represents hydroboration-oxidation of the alkene to achieve anti-Markovnikov addition of water. The second pathway represents a radical (anti-Markovnikov) addition of HBr followed by an SN2 reaction to replace the halogen with a hydroxyl group. Each of these path-ways represents a valid synthesis. As we learn more reactions, it will become more common to encounter synthesis problems with several perfectly correct answers. The goal should always be efficiency. A 3-step synthesis will generally be more efficient than a 10-step synthesis.
