11 Suggested solutions for Chapter 11 PROBLEM 1 Draw mechanisms for these reactions, both of which involve loss of carbonyl oxygen. O HCl CHO MeNH2 Cl H MeOH OMe NMe H 2O F F Purpose of the problem To see if you can draw mechanisms for two of the main classes of reactions in the chapter. Suggested solution As MeOH is present in large excess as the solvent, it probably adds first. This also makes the intermediate for the addition of chloride a stable oxonium ion. The mechanism is very like that for acetal formation and, if you added chloride first, that is also a reasonable mechanism. O HCl OH HO HOMe H H 2O OMe H H H H Cl Cl OMe OMe OMe H The second example is imine formation—attack by an amine nucleophile and dehydration of the intermediate. Don’t forget to protonate the OH group so that it can leave as a water molecule. O O H F H2NMe H H2O NH2Me F NHMe NHMe F H H F imine 2 Solutions Manual to accompany Organic Chemistry 2e PROBLEM 2 Each of these compounds is an acetal, that is a molecule made from an aldehyde or ketone and two alcohol groups. Which compounds were used to make these acetals? MeO O OMe O O O O O Purpose of the problem Practice at the recognition of acetals and working out how to make them. Suggested solution All we have to do is to identify the hidden carbonyl group by finding the only carbon atom having two C–O bonds. This atom is marked with a grey circle. If you imagine breaking the two C–O bonds you will discover the carbonyl group and the alcohols.

NH CH2=O N NHMe CH2 H Me N CH2=O N Me NHMe Purpose of the problem Extension of simple acetal chemistry into related reactions with nitrogen. Suggested solution Both reactions start in the same way by attack of a nitrogen nucleophile on formaldehyde. Acid catalysis is not necessary for this step. The first reaction ends with the formation of the iminium ion by acid-‐catalysed dehydration. NH CH2 O O N N OH H N OH2 H Me as above NHMe CH2 In the other reaction a second amino group is waiting to capture the iminium ion by cyclisation to form a stable five-‐membered ring. NHMe iminium formed N N CH2 NHMe Me N N Me 3 4 Solutions Manual to accompany Organic Chemistry 2e PROBLEM 4 In the textbook (p. 104) we showed you a selective hydrolysis of an acetal. Why were the other acetals (one is a thio-‐acetal) not affected by this treatment? How would you hydrolyse them? Chloroform (CHCl3) is the solvent. MeO S CF3CO2H H2O S O MeO O CHCl3 0°C 1 hour OHC S S O O Purpose of the problem Revision of the different types of acetal and their relative reactivity. Suggested solution Cyclic acetals are more stable than non-‐cyclic ones as we explain on p. 228 of the textbook. Hydrolysis needs more vigorous conditions. Thioacetals are much harder to hydrolyse because sulfides are even less basic than ethers. They can be hydrolysed using electrophiles that attack sulfur readily, such as Hg(II) or methylating agents. This is one possible solution: OHC S TsOH H2O S O O heat OHC S S CHO Hg(OAc)2 AcOH, H2O O OHC CHO Solutions for Chapter 11 – Nucleophilic Substitution at C=O with Loss of Oxygen PROBLEM 5 In the textbook (p. 228) we say that the Grignard reagent below is ‘an unstable structure – impossible to make.’ Why is this? What would happen if you tried to make it? O O Mg × Br MgBr Purpose of the problem Revision of the danger of mutually destructive functional groups. Suggested solution There are various possibilities that all arise from the presence of a carbonyl group and a Grignard in the same molecule. These two would react together. They might cyclise to form a four-‐membered ring or a bimolecular reaction might lead to a dimer and perhaps polymerisation. MgBr O O ? O O ? H2O HO O O Br Br BrMg PROBLEM 6 Suggest mechanisms for these reactions. O CHO O H2N + HO NH2 HN CO2Me CO2H O O H N O CH2 O NaCN, NH4Cl CH2 N CN Purpose of the problem Extension of acetal and imine formation into examples where the intermediate is trapped by a different nucleophile. 5 6 Solutions Manual to accompany Organic Chemistry 2e Suggested solution The first reaction starts with the usual attack of an alcohol on the aldehyde but the second nucleophile is the carboxylic acid. Though a poor nucleophile, it is good enough to react with an oxonium ion, particularly in a cyclisation. O H OH HO CO2H O O OH OH OH O O O OH2 O O O O O OH O The second reaction starts with nucleophilic attack by the amine on the more electrophilic carbonyl group – the ketone. Imine formation is followed by cyclisation and this second step is normal nucleophilic substitution of an ester (chapter10). The imine double bond moves into the ring to secure conjugation with the ester. H 2N O NH2 N NH2 O CO2Me X H N H N H N HN O O OMe H H The third example uses very simple molecules and again starts with imine formation. Cyanide is the nucleophile that captures the iminium ion and a second imine formation completes the mechanism.

O HS H SH dry HCl S S H Purpose of the problem Extension of the mechanism for acetal formation to dithioacetal (dithiane) formation. Suggested solution The mechanism is a direct analogue of acetal formation. The dehydration step is more difficult: the C=S bond is less stable than the C=O bond because overlap of 2p and 3p orbitals is not as good as overlap of two 2p orbitals of similar size and energy.
