Lecture 12 (Heteroatom addition)
Reactivity of Carbonyl Compounds
Properties
Sp2 hybridized Binding angle at the C-atom
is 120
Oxygen is strongly electronegative
Polarization
C-atom is positively polarized
O-atom react as nucleophile C atom react
as electrophile
Reactivity
Enols / enolates chapter 16
1,2-addition - Nucleophile attacks C-atom and form negative charge O-
atom
Negative charge atoms are then attacked by electrophile
Rule
1) assign polarities
2) - React with + ( Nuc- react with E+ )
3) Look at product if it can further react? (yes) intermediate > further reaction
Lecture 12 ( Heteroatom addition ) 1
Addition and Acyl Substitution reaction
Steric Effect
With increase in hindrance the rate of reaction decreases
Because of enhance in electrophilicity of carbonyl group thus more
reactive
Lecture 12 ( Heteroatom addition ) 2
1,2 Addition Mechanism
Activated nucleophile by deprotonation or activation of electrophile by
addition of acids
Addition of O-Nucleophiles to carbonyl group ( Weak Nucleophiles ) A)
Hydrazination ( H2O Addition )
Hydrate are not stable upon
isolation
Lecture 12 ( Heteroatom addition ) 3
B) Hemi acetal Formation ( Alcohol-Addition )
Acid catalyzed Favor carbonyl as hemiacetals are not stable upon isolation
Erlenmeyer Rule
Compound with two or more electron negative group
at the same carbon atom are not stable thus
Intra-Molecule elimination
Two OH bond side by side will be
least favoured thus turns into an O double bond
Exception of case are I/M effect and Cyclic
compounds (resonance stabilized )
C) Acetal Formation (2 x Alcohol- Addition)
Lecture 12 ( Heteroatom addition ) 4
Full working
Removal of H20 pushes the equilibrium to product(acetal) Acetal are stabile
Hemi acetal are not stabilize
EXAMPLE
Formation of Cyclic
Formation of protecting Group
Lecture 12 ( Heteroatom addition ) 5
D) Alternative Formation (Catalyst and 1 x Alcohol- Addition )
No H2O is required here
Addition of S-Nucleophiles to carbonyl group ( Weak
Nucleophiles )
Formation of Bisulfite Adducts ( 1,2 addition )
Sulfur is more nucleophilic than
sulfur
EXAMPLE Cyclic dithioacetals
Addition of N-Nucleophiles to carbonyl group (
Weak Nucleophiles)
1,2 Addition of S-Nucleophiles
Lecture 12 ( Heteroatom addition ) 6
Full Working
Special Imines from N Hetero amines
All follow same reaction of Acetal
Example Hydroxy / amine

Example Hydrazine
Secondary Amines and Carbonyl ( GENRATION OF ENAMINE )
Lecture 12 ( Heteroatom addition ) 8

Thermodynamic reaction control: Most Stable
