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.
