Types of Subsitution runs

Types of Subsitution runs

1. Concerted = all bonds break/form @ same time

2. Sequential= bonds break and then form in steps

Conserted rxn

all bonds break/form @ same time

-substitution

Sequential rxn

bonds break and then form in steps

-substitution

SN2

• Rate determining step is Nu attack from 180 degree (backside)

• Cause umbrella inversion of stereocenter

• more hindered substrate = slow rxn

• 3* (hindered) @ alpha carbon= no rxn

SN2 with 3* Sterocenter

No rxn w/ 3* substrate

Alpha carbon type EFFECT on SN2 speed

1*= Fastest

4*= slowest

-More hindered= slower

Détermine Nu strength of SAME ATOM

stronger base (use CA pka) = stronger Nu

Stronger nucleophile reacts ____

Stronger nucleophile reacts Faster

Determine Nu strength of DIFFRENT atoms

PROTIC solvent—> less EN= STRONG Nu

APROTIC solvent—> MORE basic= STRONG Nu

Charged Nu are ____ than neutral Nu

Charged Nu are STRONGER than neutral Nu

Leaving group strength

Weaker base= GOOD LG

Rx is abbrev. for _____

Substrate

Sn2 rate law

Rate= k[Nu][RX]

Sn1 rate law

Rate= k[RX]

Sn2 substrate trend

Less hindered = faster rxn

Sn1 substrate trend

stable carbocations = faster rxn

Sn2 nucleophile trend

STRONG Nu favored

Stronger Nu=faster rxn

Sn1 nucleophile trend

WEAK Nu favored

Weak nu = faster rxn

Sn2 steriochemical outcome

100% inversion of sterocenter

SN1 stereochemical outcome

Racemization of stereocenter

Wedges & shoes —> lines

Sn2 solvent trend

Favor polar APROTIC solvent

APROTIC= faster rxn

Sn1 solvent trend

Favor PROTIC solvents

PROTIC= faster rxn

3* alpha carbon rxn possibilities

SN1, E2 & E1

• SB Nu = E2

• WB neutral Nu = SN1 & E1 (@ high temp)

1* alpha carbon rxn possibilities

Sn2 & E2

-mainly Sn2

-E2 ONLY hindered by SB nucleophile

2* alpha carbon rxn possibilities

SN2, SN1, E2 & E1

• SB Nu = E2

• WB negative Nu & APROTIC = SN2

• WB neutral Nu = SN1 & E1 (@ high temp)

Steps to determine faster rxn

1. Substrate structure (1*> 2*>etc.)

2. Nu type (strong WB Nu, SB Nu, etc.)

3. Leaving group (good/bad)

4. Solvent type

What causes Magnetically active

Nuclei w/ ODD # protons or neutrons

NMR spectra characteristics

1. # signals= # chemical environments

2. Chemical shift

3. Integration ( Area under curve)

4. Multiplicity of signals (signals)

Chemical shift

Resonance frequency relative to TMS standard

Integration

H ration

Multiplicity of signals

Signal splits into n+1

n= # adjacent EQUIVALENT H
