7 7 c) Complete the reaction coordinate-energy diagram, showing relative positions of enol 1 and aldehyde isomers 2 and the resonance-stabilized intermediate that exists between 1 and 2 . Assume that the first step, protonation of enol 1 is the rate-determing step in the isomerization reaction. Label all transition states as TS , Δ G (E act ) for each step, and Δ G o for the isomerization of 1 to 2 (10 pts) Free Energy Reaction Coordinate CH 3 H HO H Enol 1 Aldehyde 2
8 8 Q3. Conjugated Dienes (35 points). Addition of 1 equivalent of HBr to diene 1 gives a mixture of 4 different products, 2-5 , when carried out at 20 o C for 1 hour. a) (8 pts) When the reaction is done at -20 o C for 15 min, compound 3 is formed first, making it the kinetic product. Below, complete the drawings to show the carbocation intermediates that give compounds 2-5 . b) (10 pts) Mechanism. Use the structures provided below to complete drawing the stepwise mechanism for formation of compound 3 from diene 1 and HBr. Show all electron flow and formal charges and make sure to indicate the proper arrows (resonance or equilibrium) between various species. c) (4 pts) When the same reaction is done at 50 o C for 24 hours, compound 2 is the predominant product. In 5 words or less, justify this result. Explanation (5 words or less) __________________________________________________ CH 3 CH 3 CH 3 CH 3 Carbocation 2 Carbocation 3 Carbocation 4 Carbocation 5 CH 3 CH 3 CH 3 Br 1 3 CH 3 CH 3 HBr THF CH 3 CH 3 CH 3 CH 3 Br Br Br Br 1 2 3 4 5
9 9 d) (8 pts) Compound 4 exists as 2 diastereomers, cis 4 and trans 4 : Complete the drawings to indicate the lowest energy conformation for both cis 4 and trans 4 . Only draw the substituents (-CH 3 , -Br and –H) at the indicated bonds in cis 4 and trans 4 . Assume that a –CH 3 group is larger than a –Br atom. e) (5 pts) Circle the best answer for the following statements Cis 4 is lower in energy (more stable) than is trans 4 True False Cis 4 can react with base to regenerate diene 1 True False Trans 4 can react with base to regenerate diene 1 True False Diene 1 is more reactive in Diels-Alder reaction than diene 6 True False Diene 1 is more reactive in Diels-Alder reaction than diene 7 True False 1 2 1 2 cis 4 trans 4 CH 3 1 OCH 3 7 CH 3 1 H 3 C H 3 C 6 CH 3 cis 4 trans 4 CH 3 Br CH 3 Br 1 2 1 2

10 10 Q4. Diels-Alder Chemistry (25 pts). Shown below are 2 possible Diels-Alder approaches to make compound 1 . Method B is much better than method A. a) Draw a mechanism for formation of 1 from diene 4 and dienophile 5. (3 pts) b) One reason Method B is superior to Method A is because diene 4 is conformationally restricted, whereas diene 2 is conformationally mobile. Draw the two conformations for diene 2 . Then circle the conformation that is favored at equilibrium (6 pts) Reactive Conformation 2 Unreactive Conformation 2 O 4 5 + O 1 O O O 2 3 4 5 1 Method A + + O 1 Method B
11 11 c) Another reason that method B is best is because 5 is a better dienophile than is compound 3. Complete drawing resonance forms to clearly show why the C=C double bond in 5 is more electron deficient than the C=C double bond in 3 . Indicate all charges and electron pairs in each resonance form (8 pts). d ) Compound 1 can exist as 2 isomers, either cis- 1 or trans- 1 . (4 pts) Circle True or False to the following statements: i) Diels-Alder reaction of 4 and 5 gives only cis- 1 True False ii) Trans- 1 is thermodynamically more stable than cis- 1 True False iii) Compounds cis- 1 and trans- 1 are enantiomers True False iv) Compounds cis- 1 and trans- 1 are diastereomers True False O O 3 5 O cis-1 O trans-1
12 12 e) Below are shown 4 transitions states for the Diels-Alder reaction of 1 and 2 . Circle either Endo or Exo to indicate whether the illustration is depicting an endo or exo transition state. (4 pts) Bonus (3 pts): A traditional Japanese Haiku is a three-line poem with seventeen syllables, written in a 5/7/5 syllable count. Often focusing on images from Nature, Haiku emphasizes simplicity, intensity, and directness of expression.” Write a Haiku poem about either Alkynes or the Diels-Alder Reaction Graded this way: 3 points---“I wish I’d thought of that” 1 point--- “Yeah, that’s 5-7-5” O O O H H H O H Endo Exo Endo Exo Endo Exo Endo Exo O 2 1 + H
