Conjugated Diene
|
Alkene with alternating double and single bonds
More stable than non-conjugated diene
|
1,2–Addition
|
The addition of a reactant to the two ends of a double bond.
C==C + A--B ---> C----C
| |
A B
|
Kinetic Product
|
the product that is formed fastest; the major product under kinetic control
|
1,4- Addition
|
Happens in conjugated dienes. The nucleophile adds to the 1 Carbon and the 4 Carbon.
|
Thermodynamic Product
|
When a reaction produces more than one product, the most stable product is the thermodynamic product
Dominates when reaction is reversible
|
Energy Diagram
|
Kinetic Product (1,2- Addition) has higher potential energy than the thermodynamic product (1,4- Addition).
At the lower temperature the 1,2- Addition is favored.
At the higher temperature the 1,4- Addition is favored.

Diels-Alder Reaction: Cycloaddition
|
Cycloaddition Reaction
addition of a diene to a dienophile to form a
cycloalkene
Takes place in one step: all the bonds break and form simultaneously
Converts 3 pi bonds → two new sigma bonds (C–C) and one new pi bond (on in-between segment of diene
|
Pericyclic Reaction
|
A reaction involving concerted reorganization of electrons within a closed loop of interacting orbitals. Cycloadditions are one class of pericyclic reactoins
|
S-cis Conformation
|
A cis-like conformation of a single bond in a conjugated diene
|
Dienophiles
|
The best dienophiles are electron poor due to the presence of electron withdrawing groups.
Those with a double bonded C=O or a triple bonded CN attached to the double bond diene must be able to obtain a s-cis conf.
