8

Which sp2 Carbon Gets the H+?

The Mechanism

Formation of the carbocation is the rate-limiting step.

2/26/18

9

Relative Stabilities of Carbocations

Alkyl groups decrease the concentration of positive charge on the carbon.

Hyperconjugation

2/26/18

10

Why the Difference in Rate?

The more stable carbocation is formed more rapidly.

The Hammond Postulate

The transition state resembles what it is closer to in energy.

exergonic reaction: The transition state resembles the reactants.

endergonic reaction: The transition state resembles the products.

Regioselective Reaction

A regioselective reaction is a reaction that forms more of one constitutional isomer than of another.

The reaction can be: moderately regioselective highly regioselective completely regioselective

Not Regioselective

Mechanism for Hydroboration

AdditionofBH3andAdditionofHBrFollowtheSameRule

The electrophile adds to the sp2 carbon bonded to the most hydrogens.

21

BH3HasThreePotentialHydrideIons,soaDialkylboraneandaTrialkyleboraneCanBeFormed

OnlyOneHydrideIonisNeededforHydroboration

Because of its bulky R groups, R2BH has a stronger preference for the less substituted sp2 carbon.

2/26/18

22

TheMechanismistheSame

HydroborationisFollowedbyOxidation

In the oxidation reaction, OH replaces BR2

It is an oxidation reaction because the number of C-O bonds increases.

2/26/18

23

Mechanism for the Oxidation Reaction

No Carbocation Rearrangement

A carbocation is not formed, so a carbocation rearrangement cannot occur.

A Cyclic Bromonium Ion Intermediate

The carbons atoms connected to the oxygen atom are the most electrophilic atoms.

No Carbocation Rearrangement

A carbocation is not formed, so a carbocation rearrangement cannot occur.

2/26/18

27

Mechanism for Halohydrin Formation

Why Does It Follow the Same Rule?

The electrophile adds to the sp2 carbon bonded to the most hydrogens.

TheProductisaRacemicMixture

Why a Racemic Mixture is Formed

2/26/18

37

Forming a Racemic Mixture

If the reactant does not have an asymmetric center and the reaction forms a product with an asymmetric center,

the product will be a racemic mixture.

Forming a Second Asymmetric Center

If the reactant has an asymmetric center and the reaction forms a product with a new asymmetric center, the product will be a pair of diastereomers.

2/26/18

38

Reactions That Form Two Asymmetric Centers

The stereoisomers obtained as products depend on the mechanism of the reaction.
