Following are two examples – in the first, the nucleophile is the enolate anion of malonic ester – in the second, it is the enolate anion of acetoacetic ester 12 Chemistry 318N Michael Reaction + 3-Buten-2-one (Methyl vinyl ketone) Diethyl propanedioate (Diethyl malonate) O EtOC CH2 EtOC O O EtOC CHCH2 CH2 CCH3 EtOC O O O Et O- Na + EtOH CH2 =CHCCH 3 Chemistry 318N Michael Reaction + 2-Cyclohex- enone Ethyl 3-oxobutanoate (Ethyl acetoacetate) O O O O CH3 C CH2 EtOC O EtOC CH CH3 C O EtO - Na + EtOH 15 Chemistry 318N Robinson annelation: 2. aldol condensation OCH3 O O CH2CH2CCH3 NaOH heat OH O CH3 O not isolated; dehydrates under reaction conditions Chemistry 318N OCH3 O O CH2CH2CCH3 NaOH heat O O CH3 OH O CH3 O Robinson annelation: 3. elimination 16 Chemistry 318N The Signature Page Claisen Condensation: β-ketoesters Dieckmann: Cyclic β-ketoesters Aldol: α, β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones Acetoacetic ester synthesis: decorated acetones Malonic ester synthesis: decorated acetic acids Michael Reaction: 1-5 dicarbonyl compounds Grignard Reaction: Alcohols…, etc. Chemistry 318N Make starting with ethyl acetate or diethyl malonate and anything else O O H HO O O Please work the problems on the posted exams! 17 Chemistry 318N Given ethyl alcohol as your only source of carbon, outline a synthesis to 3-ethylpentan-2-one Chemistry 318N Amines 20 Chemistry 318N Amine Conj.

Chemistry 318N p-Nitroaniline NH2 O N O – •• •••• •• + •• •• O N O – •• •••• •• •••• – NH2 ++ Lone pair on amine nitrogen is conjugated with p- nitro group—more delocalized than in aniline itself. Delocalization lost on protonation. 22 Chemistry 318N Effect is Cumulative Aniline is 3800 times more basic than p-nitroaniline. Aniline is ~1,000,000,000 times more basic than 2,4-dinitroaniline.
