Protecting Groups: How They Work OH Target Molecule: Na Reagents: and Br OH We can't simply mix the reagents here: deprotonation occurs faster than alkylation (acid base reaction, think about pKa differences) Na + Br + Br OH ONa So, we protect the alcohol as an ether first, and we can successfully alkylate: Br 1. H2SO4 OH 2. CH =C(CH ) 2 3 2 OtBu H3O+/H2O Na Br OtBu OH + t BuOH Protecting Groups: Alcohol Alkylation OH + H2SO4 • Alcohol Groups do not “Survive” Many Organic Reactions • Alkylation (Ether Formation) Protects OH’s During Synthesis • Can Remove the Protecting Group w/ Dilute Aqueous Acid • Generally Dissolve Alcohol in Acid, THEN add Isobutylene • Addition in this Manner Minimizes Isobutylene Dimerization • Let’s See Why We Might Want to Use a Protecting Group O Protecting Groups: Silyl Ethers Me Me OH + Cl Si t Bu Pyridine O Si t Bu DMF Me Me tert-Butylchlorodimethylsilane O-TBDMS • Silyl Ethers Stable Over a 4-12 pH Range (Acidic and Basic) • Can Survive Conditions of Many Organic Reactions • Typically Removed w/ Flouride Source (NBu4F; aka TBAF) • Silyl Ethers More Volatile Than Alcohols (GC Applications)
