Our base choice determines how much of the original acid is left in solution at equilibrium. This will have significant consequences during our discussion of the Aldol and Claisen reactions. For each of the reactions below determine which is the most acidic proton in the first molecule. Assign a pKa value to at least the most acidic proton. Draw the expected conjugate base and acid. Assign a pKa value to the conjugate acid then determine the approximate position of the equilibrium (towards the starting material, towards the product, or near the middle - for example there would be a significant amount of starting material and product at equilibrium). Then predict the product of the reaction of the conjugate base with the reagent over the next arrow. An example is provided below. Alcohol 16 Alcohol 16 HO st pKa = Most acidic HO 10 Phenol 38 Amine Albuterol pKa 10 stronger acid OH NaOCH HO HOCH₂ 16 pKa 16 weaker acid favored at equilibrium Difference in pKa values = 6 = 6 orders of magnitude difference therefore >99% of molecules look like product, very little neutal phenol and NaOCH, would be present in solution. OH HO 305x

1. Assume 99% of the starting aldehyde in Model 4 is in the keto form. Explain how most of the propanal can be converted to 2-bromopropanal even though, at any given moment, less than 1% of the propanal in solution is in the enol form. In other words, what happens once all the propanal that was originally in the enol form has been converted to product?
3. Consider the electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction below. Draw three resonance structures of the arenium cation intermediate resulting from para attack. Of these three, indicate one which would be a relatively stable resonance contributor. Finally, provide a possible justification for the fact that the major product here would be the para product, while the ortho product is formed as a minor product (only trace amounts of meta product are formed).

If both size of the ketone and electronics of the aldehyde affect the overall reaction rate, which step is more likely to be the rate determining step of an aldol condensation, the aldol or the condensation?

This question has multiple parts. Work all the parts to get the most points. The Stork reaction is a condensation reaction between an enamine donor and an a,ß-unsaturated carbonyl acceptor. The overall reaction consists of a three-step sequence of 1. formation of an enamine from a ketone, 2. Michael addition to an a,ß-unsaturated carbonyl compound, and 3. hydrolysis of the enamine in dilute acid to regenerate the ketone. Consider the Stork reaction between cyclohexanone and propenal. 1 Draw the structure of the product of the enamine formed between cyclohexanone and pyrrolidine. TAYY { n [F ? ChemDoodle Previous Next
