Follow the procedures outlined in the solutions to 2 This compound has the carboxylic acid functional group at the end of the carbon chain, so the name ends in *-oic acid.” The longest carbon chain that includes both the carboxylic acid carbon atom and the double bonds has seven carbon atoms, so the root is hept. There are two carbon-carbon double bonds, so the multiple bond index is diene: hept/diene/oic acid = heptadienoic acid. Numbering begins with the carboxylic acid carbon atom. 5E)-3-methyl-2,5-heptadienoic acid. 158 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY SOLUTIONS MANUAL 402. (continued) b. This compound has a ring of six carbon atoms with one double bond within the ring: cyclohexene, The other carbon-carbon, double bond is external to the ring, so it is named as a substituent, isopropylidene (Section 8.1c). The substituent specifies the assignment of C1 for the ring, so the name is isopropylidene-2- cyclohexene, ©. This compound has both a double and a triple bond. Numbering can begin at either end of the chain, but the numbers would be the same (I-buten-3-yne versus 3-butene-L-yne), so we choose the first because a double bond has the higher priority. “Ene” is placed in. 1 the name before “yne” in either case. A phenyl group is attached to Cl and a chlorine atom is attached to C2. The configuration of, the double bond is (Z), so the compound's name is (Z)-2-chloro- phenylbutene-3-yne. 4. This compound has a seven-membered ring and three carbon 2 carbon double bonds, starting at C1, C3, and C3. A tert-butyl : group is attached at Cl, so the name is I-tert-butyl13,5- 3 cycloheptatriene. 103. Isolated double bor ridized carbon atom (a. and di). Cumulated double bonds (c).

Bonding molecular orbials are formed by the mathematical addition of the combining orbitals” aaa o¢-<: filled with two electrons Antibonding molecular orbitals are formed by the subtraction of one orbital from another, which means that changes occur in the mathematical signs of the orbital being subtracted. The highest electron density lies away from the region between the atoms. The node of each hybrid orbital at the nucleus is retained in this combination, and a new node is created in the space between the atoms. CHAPTER 10/ ADDITION REACTIONS OF CONJUGATED DIENES 159 705. The energy of a bonding molecular orbital (MO) is lower than the energy of the hybrid orbitals undergoing combination. The energy of the antibonding MQ is higher than the energies of the combining hybrid orbitals. Because each hybrid orbital contributes one electron to the MOs, there are two electrons and they are used to fill the bonding MO (a). The high energy antibonding MO (o*) is empty. 10.6. The reaction of a conjugated diene with chlorine will produce both 1,2- and 1,4-dichloro products, Ifa new chiral center is produced, then both configurations will be generated at the chiral carbon atom. For the 1,4-addition process, it is necessary to consider the formation of double bond isomers, which result fom rotation about the sigma bond. It is worthwhile to draw the structures of the possible carbocation intermediates. This diene is symmetrical, so it does not matter which double bond we start with, (4 H aH cr 107.

All of these reactions yield products in which the elements of H and Cl have added to one of the double bonds. When there are no substituents attached to the ring of a cyclic diene (conjugated or isolated), then the product appears as if only one of the double bonds has reacted. In other words, the 1,2- and 1,4-addition products are identical for the conjugated dienes. A new chiral center is generated from achiral reactants, so a racemic mixture is produced in each case, oT OF H a Ho a © H Oo Ce a_i Oe : 10.12.

Given the structure of a cyclohexane derivative that has been formed via the Diels-Alder reaction, you need only break the two bonds in the six-membered ring that are connected to the carbon atoms adjacent to the double bond (shown as colored clots in the following structures). ‘These carbon atoms define the termini of the diene system, and the other two carbon atoms define the double bond (or triple bond, in part c,) of the dienophile. .

The bond angles of a carbon atom with sp hybridization are 180°, so the diene product should be less strained within a 10-membered ring because only one carbon atom has this geometric constraint imposed upon it.

(continued) Generate the possible carbocations (and their resonance forms), and then decide which set is more stable. This diene is symmetrical, so only one set of carbocations is formed, The products are formed by attaching the methoxy group to the carbocation centers. The carbocations ate equivalent and the double bond substitution pattern of the products is the same (disubstituted), so there is no clear choice for the identities of the thermodynamic and kinetic products. We would therefore expect to obtain equal amounts of each product no matter what the reaction conditions are. c= 0 Oe S86 OCH Both intexmediates are 2° carbocations. Both products have a disubsttuted double bond 0.20. For stable alkenes and polyenes with » number of p orbitals, there are MOs, 1/2 of which are bonding orbitals and filled; and 1/2 of which are antibonding orbitals and vacant. The lowest energy MO has no node and (1 ~ 1) overlapping pairs. With increasing energy, an additional node is added between atoms (vertical dashed lines) and the numbers of pairs of overlapping orbitals decreases by one, At the highest energy MO, the number of nodes reaches its maximum, and there is no pair of overlapping orbitals. The bonding MOs have more overlapping, pairs of orbitals than nodes, and the antibonding, ‘MOs have more nodes than overlapping pairs. There are six electrons to add to the orbitals, and these fill the bonding MOs. NODES OVERLAPPING PAIRS Yet, —— 5 o ¥8 —— 4 1 — 3 2 ENERGY 186 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY SOLUTIONS MANUAL 10.21. This cycloaddition reaction takes place in the same manner that a typical Diels-Alder reaction does.

For a delocalized system with x number of p orbitals, there are n MOs. For allylic systems, there are three MOs, The lowest energy MO has no node, the next highest MO has one node, and the highest energy MO has two nodes. Notice that the node in ris at C2; an MO with a node at an atom position is, classified as non-bonding. In filling these orbitals, we start with the lowest energy MO and add electrons.
