Chapter 13, Problem 13.26P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The percent atom economy of the given substitution reaction is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Any reagents used for reaction synthesis can be hazardous when released into environment. Thus, the goal of green chemistry is to increase the efficiency of reactants and decrease the production of waste or by-products. The reaction efficiency with respect to the desired product can be determined by calculating the percent atom economy. Atom economy is a main idea of green chemistry. It is a widely used metrics for greenness measurement of the reaction process. The formula for percent atom economy is:

% Atom economy =Mass of atoms in the desired productMass of atoms in all reagents×100%

-AG|F=2E|V 3. Before proceeding with this problem you may want to glance at p. 466 of your textbook where various oxo-phosphorus derivatives and their oxidation states are summarized. Shown below are Latimer diagrams for phosphorus at pH values at 0 and 14: Acidic solution -0.93 +0.38 -0.51 -0.06 H3PO4 →H4P206 H3PO3 H3PO2 → P→ PH3 -0.28 -0.50 → -0.50 Basic solution 3-1.12 -1.57 -2.05 -0.89 PO HPO →→H2PO2 P PH3 -1.73 a) Under acidic conditions, H3PO4 can be reduced into H3PO3 directly (-0.28V), or via the formation and reduction of H4P2O6 (-0.93/+0.38V).

These two reactions appear to start with the same starting materials but result in different products.  How do the chemicals know which product to form?  Are both products formed, or is there some information missing that will direct them a particular way?
What would be the best choices for the missing reagents 1 and 3 in this synthesis? 1. PPh3 3 1 2 2. n-BuLi • Draw the missing reagents in the drawing area below. You can draw them in any arrangement you like. • Do not draw the missing reagent 2. If you draw 1 correctly, we'll know what it is. • Note: if one of your reagents needs to contain a halogen, use bromine.
