CAREER ENDEAVOUR Publications} PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION The book “Organic Reaction Mechanism & Named Reactions” is written with the objvctiv of providing description of principles involved in organic Chemistry including their application at a level suitable for graduate and post-graduate students of Chemistry in different universities. Starting with glimpse of general organic chemistry, the book deals with stereochemistry followed by basic principles of reaction mechanism. Later part of this book focuses on important name reaction and rearrangement reactions. Chemistry of synthetically important heterocyclic compounds is also discussed along with some challenging problems This book will be highly useful for the candidates preparing for various competitive examinations at national and state levels such as CSIR-UGC-NET, GATE, SLET, etc. In all the competitive examinations such as CSIR-UGC-NET/IRE, GATE, SLET, ete, the section ef Organic Reaction Mechanism & Named Reactions carry approximately 10-12 percent weightage of total marks. + Inevery year CSIR-UGC-NETIIRF includes at least 25 to 30 marks from this section out of 200 marks + In every year GATE paper includes at least 10 to 12 marks from this section out of 100 marks. Apart from NET, GATE, PSUs this book will also be very useful to candidates appearing ‘or various Ph.D. entrance examinations. ‘The book is designed and prepared in such a way that it provides the required information regarding almost all important topics. Students preparing for competitive examinations are advised to go through every topic for their understanding and conceptual clarity and then get into solving the problems. For more practice students are also advised to go through our classroom assignments, Much care has been taken to minimize the typographical errors, yet if any noticed, then your suggestions are invited with a view to improve the book in future editions. ‘We would like to thank our respected faculty members for their valuable inputs in the book. Thanks to Mr. Ramashish Paul & Mr. Raj Pandey for their constructive support in doing corrections and proofreading.

(1) Inductive effects: Ina covalent bond between two different atoms, the electrons in the —bond are not shared equally. The electrons are attracted towards the most electronegative atom. An arrow drawn above the line representing the covalently bonded electrons shifts towards higher electronegative atom can show this. Electrons arepulled in the direction ofthe arrow.

(2) Hyperconjugation: Ao —bond can stabilise a neighbouring carbocation (or positively charged carbon) by donating electrons to the vacant p-orbital. The positive charge is delocalised or ‘spread out’, and this i stabilising effect is known as “no-bond resonance”.

Thus stability order for such species will be (Stability) OMe (3) Mesomeric effects: Whilst inductive effects pull electrons through the o bond framework, electrons. can also move through the —bond network. A —bond can stabilise a negative charge, a positive charge alone pairof electrons or an adjacent bond by resonance (ie. delocalisation or ‘spreading out’ ofthe elec- trons). Curly arrows are used to represent the movement of = or non-bonding electrons to give different resonance forms. Itis only the electrons, not the nuclei, that move in the resonance forms and a double-headed arrow is used to show their relationship.

A+M group is likely co stabilise an anion more effectively than a +I group. ‘Mesomerie effects can be effective over much longer distances than inductive effects, provided that conjugation is present (ie. alternating single and double bonds). Whereas inductive effects are determined by distance, mesomeric effects are determined by the relative positions of +M and -M groupsina molecule. Application of inductive effect, hyperconjugation and mesomeric effect: Acidity and basicity: Acids: An acid is a substance that donates a proton (Bronsted-Lowry). Acidic compounds have low pK- values and are good proton donors, as the anions (or conjugate bases), formed on the deprotonation, are relatively stable.

At pH above the pK, the acid exists predominantly as the conjugate base in water, At pH below the pK, it exists predominantly as HA. pH = 0 (strongly acidic) pH =7 (neutral) pH =14 (strongly basic) ‘The pK -values are influenced by the solvent, Polar solvents will stabilise cations and/or anions by solvation. in which the charge is delocalised over the solvent (e.g, by hydrogen-bonding in water) 4 B® @ & & lo 8 HO-HunAuiH—OH, HOM ORIOH, oN HO SH ‘The more electronegative the atom bearing the negative charge, the more stable the conjugate base (which is negatively charged). pK, 3 16 3 48 Mostacidic HF > HO > NH, > CH, increasing electronegativity ‘Therefore, 1 is more stable than H,C®. ‘The conjugate base can also be stabilised by 1 and -M groups which can delocalise the negative charge.

HC. CHs HyC’ ‘CHs NO2 NOz @) @) iq The above two compounds A and B have everything identical except position of the two methyl group. Itis expected that A should be stronger base than B due to closeness of two electron donating methyl group ‘0 — NH, The fact is opposite to this. In compound B -NO, is surrounded by two bulky methyl group and they sterically sepel the -NO, group. In order to minimize the steric repulsion by the two adjacent methyl group, the nitro group loses planarity with the benzene ring. So, now -NO, due to lack of planarity weigh ring, not able to resonate. This is known as steric inhibition ofresonance, Thus in B ,-NO, is not decreasing basic strength by resonance, InA —NO, lies in the plane of the ring, itis in resonance with the ring, decreases basic strength of -NH, by resonance, hence weaker base.

Keynotes in Organic Chemistry: + I£-M groupsare introduced at 2-,4- and/or 6-positions, the anion can be further stabilised by debcalisation through the system , as the negative charge can be spread onto the-M group. We can use double- headed curly arrows to show this process. + If-M groupsare introduced at the 3- and/or 5-positions, the anion can not be stabilised by delocalsation, as the negative charge cannot be spread onto the-M group.

Thalidomide is a drug was first prepared in 1957 in Germany, prescribed for treating morning Sickness in pregnant women.

Scalemic: Any non-racemic chiral substance is called Sealemic. + A cchiral substance is enantio pure or homochiral when only one of two possible enantiomer is present. + Acchiral substance is enantio enriched or heterochiral when an excess of one enantiomer is preset b the exclusion of the other. Three terms are used f0 designate a carbon atom bonded tetrahedrally to four different substituents i eh molecule, (a) Asymmetric atom (LeBell & Vant Hoff for an atom attached with different groups).

Ss SS . a XS Conformational diastereomers Structures that are not superimpossible on their mirror image, and can therefore exist as two enantiomers are called chiral. Essential criteria for a molecule to be chiral. There is no any single criterion. There must be lack of element of symmetry. Note: [t isnot necessary and sufficient condition because there are some set of molecules which have some element of symmetry still they are optically active. For example, re Hck Q au a Ck Cz Optically active but having C,-symmetry, ‘The carbon in the molecule should be attacked to four different groups. Itis not a necessary and sufficient condition also because we have an example in which carbon have four different groups but iis still optically inactive. For example: coo ‘Two asymmetric centre but still optically in active owing to plane of symmetry. ‘On the other hand we have also an example in which there is not any chiral centre but still moleculeis optically active. For example: Properly substituted allene Br Br We re cn Stereochemistry ‘Not any chiral cenise but stilliis optically active Remral This compound is optically active not due to chiral centre but due to chiral axis, ‘There should be an absence of plane of symmetry. SYMMETRY ELEMENT Asymmetry element is a geometrical entity such as a line, a plane, of a point with respect fo Whichone or more symmetry operations may be carried out. Symmetry Operation: Asymmetry operation is the movement ofa molecule about the symmetry element in sucha manner thatthe resulting configuration ofthe molecule sindistinguishable Srom the original molecule.

Sequence rule: Priority to the four atoms or groups of atoms attached to the chiral centre can be deter- mined in accordance with sequence rule which are as follows. Rule 1: Ifthe four atoms attached to the chiral centre are al different, priority depends on atomic number, with the atom ofhigh atomic number getting higher priority.
