Arenediazonium substitution reactions occur when the diazonium group is substituted by various functional groups such as halides, hydroxyl, nitrile, etc. For instance, arenediazonium salts react with copper(I) salts of chloride, bromide, or cyanide to form corresponding aryl chlorides, bromides, and nitriles. These reactions are named Sandmeyer reactions. Although the mechanism of this reaction is complicated, as illustrated in Figure 1, they are believed to progress via an aryl copper...
Bromination and chlorination of aromatic rings by electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions are easily achieved, but fluorination and iodination are difficult to achieve. Fluorine is so reactive that its reaction with benzene is difficult to control, resulting in poor yields of monofluoroaromatic products. To address this, Selectfluor reagent is used as a fluorine source in which a fluorine atom is bonded to a positively charged nitrogen.
Unlike fluorine, iodine is highly unreactive for...
The Diels–Alder reaction is one of the robust methods for synthesizing unsaturated six-membered rings. The reaction involves a concerted cyclic movement of six π electrons: four π electrons from the diene and two π electrons from the dienophile.
For the electrons to flow seamlessly between the two π systems, specific stereochemical and conformational requirements must be met.
Stereochemical Orbital Symmetry
The frontier molecular orbitals that satisfy the symmetry requirements are the...
The Diels–Alder reaction is an example of a thermal pericyclic reaction between a conjugated diene and an alkene or alkyne, commonly referred to as a dienophile. The reaction involves a concerted movement of six π electrons, four from the diene and two from the dienophile, forming an unsaturated six-membered ring. As a result, these reactions are classified as [4+2] cycloadditions.
From a molecular orbital perspective, the interacting lobes of the two π systems must be in phase to permit...
Electrophilic addition of halogens to alkenes proceeds via a cyclic halonium ion to form a 1,2-dihalide or a vicinal dihalide.
Conjugated dienes react with halogens in a similar manner. However, in addition to the 1,2-dihalide, they also form a 1,4-dihalide. The mechanism involves two steps.
First, a nucleophilic attack by one of the diene π bonds on the electrophilic center of the polarized halogen molecule forms a halonium ion intermediate. This is followed by a nucleophilic attack of the...
Diels–Alder reactions between cyclic dienes locked in an s-cis configuration and dienophiles yield bridged bicyclic products.
Dienophiles with one or more electron-withdrawing substituents form stereochemically different products in which the substituents are oriented in an endo (towards) or exo (away) configuration relative to the double bond.
The endo isomer is formed faster and is the kinetic product. The exo isomer is more stable and is the thermodynamic...
