Study Notes
Preparation of Alkynes
- Alkynes are prepared using different methods.
- Method 1: Ethanolic KOH reacts with vicinal dihalides (ethylene bromide). This reaction proceeds in two steps, removing HBr in each step.
- Step 1: CH2BrCH2Br + KOH/Ethanol → CH2=CHBr + KBr + H2O
- Step 2: CH2=CHBr + KOH/Ethanol → CH≡CH + KBr + H2O
- Method 2: KOH/EtOH reacts with geminal dihalides (ethylidene chloride).
- Reaction: CH3CHCl2 + KOH/EtOH → CH2=CHCl
- Method 3: Sodamide in liquid ammonia is used for preparing alkynes.
- Example: CH3CHBrCHBrCH3 + 2NaNH2 → HC≡CH + 2NaBr + 2NH3
Reactions of Terminal Alkynes
- Acidity of terminal alkynes: Terminal alkynes react with NaNH2 in liquid ammonia to form sodium alkynides.
- Reaction: R-C≡CH + NaNH2/liq. NH3 → R-C≡C⁻Na⁺ + NH3
- Example: Ethane-1-yne reacting with NaNH2 and liquid ammonia. This forms sodium propynide.
- Reaction: H2C≡C⁻Na⁺ + CH3CH2Br → HC≡CCH2CH3 + NaBr
- Metal Derivatives: Acetylene and terminal alkynes form metal derivatives with silver and copper in ammonical solutions.
- Example: CH3CH2C≡CH + AgNO3/NH4OH → CH3CH2C≡CAg + NH4NO3 + H2O
- Example: 2CH3C≡CH + Cu2Cl2 + 2NH4OH → (CH3C≡C)2Cu + 2NH4Cl + 2H2O
Addition of H2/Pt
- Alkynes can be reduced to alkanes using H2 and a platinum catalyst.
- Excess or 1 mole of Hydrogen affects the reaction outcome.
- This reaction helps differentiate between terminal and non-terminal alkynes (no reaction for non-terminal).
Addition of Cl2 or Br2
- Alkynes react with Cl2 or Br2/CCl4 adding to the double bond.
- The reaction produces dibromo and tetrachloro alkanes.
- The product varies depending on the reaction conditions, and concentration of reacting compounds.
Addition of HBr or HCl
- Alkynes react with HBr or HCl.
- The reaction produces vinyl or ethylidene bromide.
- This addition follows Markovnikov's rule.
Conjugated Dienes
- Alkenes with more than one double bond are called dienes, trienes, or tetraenes.
- Classes of dienes include cumulated, isolated, and conjugated.
Conjugation
- Conjugation describes alternating single and double bonds in a molecule. This creates greater stability than isolated dienes.
Preparation of Alkadienes
- 1,3-Butadiene is prepared from butane-1,4-diol using H3PO4 at 270°C.
Reactions of Conjugated Dienes
- Conjugated dienes show abnormal addition reactions.
- They undergo 1,4-addition at high temperature and 1,2-addition at low temperature.
Stability of Conjugated Dienes
- Conjugated dienes are more stable than isolated dienes due to allylic cation resonance stabilization.
Diels-Alder Reaction
- A reaction between a diene (containing two double bonds) and a dienophile (containing a double bond) to form a ring structure.
- This cycloaddition reaction is favoured by electron-withdrawing substituents in the dienophile.
Examples of Dienophiles
- Maleic anhydride, benzoquinone, and acrylonitrile are common dienophiles.
