Ways to classify alkynes
symmetrical unsymmetrical terminal internal
Symmetrical alkyne
2 sides of triple bond equal
unsymmetrical alkyne
2 sides of triple bond are unequal
Terminal alkyne
at end of molecule
Internal alkyne
within a molecule
R or R' groups can be
-alkyl group -aryl/phenyl/benzene group
Conformation of alkynes
no cis or trans
Smallest cyclic alkyne
cyclooctyne
Pi bond 1 energy
216
Pi bond 2 energy
208
Naming alkynes
same rules as alkene
If both an alkene & alkyne, number Cs by
- closest to end is 1 - if equidistant, double bond gets 1
Reaction of alkyne & X2
adds in anti fashion adds twice
If only 1 mol X2 available in reaction, it adds
only once across triple bond
Adding HX + alkyne Terminal
adds 2x across triple bond adds anti X adds to poor C H adds to rich C
Adding HX + alkyne Internal Unsymmetrical
adds anti adds 2x forms 2 products
Adding HX + alkyne Internal Symmetrical
adds anti adds 2x forms 1 product since the two products are the same
Adding H2 + alkyene, need:
catalyst - HgSO4 & BH3 adds once
Adding H2 + alkyene Terminal HgSO4
forms enol then ketone Rich C -> CH3 Poor C -> C=O
Adding H2 + alkyene Terminal BH3
adds once across bond makes aldehyde
Adding H2 + alkyene Internal
either reagent makes enol then ketone
Reduction of alkynes
adds H2 across bond once or twice depending on catalyst to get alkene or alkane
Reduction using metal catalyst
H2 adds twice syn forms alkane total reduction
Reduction using Lindlar's catalyst
adds H2 once syn partial reduction forms cis alkene
Reduction using NH3
use Li or Ni as reagent adds H2 once anti to get a trans alkene
Oxidative cleavage of alkynes
By use of KMnO4 or O3
Oxidative Cleavage of Alkynes Terminal alkyne
Terminal C -> CO2 Other C -> COOH
Oxidative Cleavage Internal
both Cs -> COOH
Acidity of terminal H
pKa = 25 - weak acid
Acidity of terminal H of alkyne ___ than alkene and alkane
more acidic
To abstract terminal acidic H, use
strong base NaNH2 or NaH
In alkylation of terminal alkyne,
add NaH to get carbocation then add alkyl group with X on end get longer chain as a result
To convert alkene to alkyne...
treat with Br treat with strong base
Converting to alkyl halide to alkene
add strong base
Calculating IDH
- compare A & product, find pi bonds of product - decide if alkene or alkyne, if treated with O3 get aldehyde or ketone -> alkene if get COOH & CO2 -> alkyne - if alkene -> find structure by connecting Os - if alkyne -> terminal or internal? if terminal, treat w/ NaH & alkyl haliā€¦
