• Selective formation of one enantiomer over another can occur if a chiral reducing agent is used.
• A reduction that forms one enantiomer predominantly or exclusively is an enantioselective or asymmetric reduction.
• An example of chiral reducing agents are the enantiomeric CBS reagents.
Enantioselective Carbonyl Reductions
![Page 27: Chapter 20 Carbonyl compounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102502/56813fef550346895daafab4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
• CBS refers to Corey, Bakshi, and Shibata, the chemists who developed these versatile reagents.
• One B–H bond serves as the source of hydride in this reduction.
• The (S)-CBS reagent delivers (H:−) from the front side of the C=O. This generally affords the R alcohol as the major product.
• The (R)-CBS reagent delivers (H:−) from the back side of the C=O. This generally affords the S alcohol as the major product.

• These reagents are highly enantioselective.
• For example, treatment of propiophenone with the (S)-CBS reagent forms the R alcohol in 97% enantiomeric excess (ee).
Enantioselectivity of CBS Reagents

• Enantioselective reductions are key steps in the synthesis of several widely used drugs, including salmeterol, a long-acting bronchodilator.

31
• Biological reductions that occur in cells always proceed with complete selectivity, forming a single enantiomer.
• In cells, the reducing agent is NADH.
• NADH is a coenzyme—an organic molecule that can function only in the presence of the enzyme.
Biological Reductions
![Page 32: Chapter 20 Carbonyl compounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102502/56813fef550346895daafab4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
• The active site of the enzyme binds both the carbonyl substrate and NADH, keeping them in close proximity.
• NADH then donates H:− in much the same way as a hydride reducing agent.
Mechanism of NADH Reductions
![Page 33: Chapter 20 Carbonyl compounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102502/56813fef550346895daafab4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
• The reaction is completely enantioselective.
• For example, reduction of pyruvic acid with NADH catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase affords a single enantiomer with the S configuration.
• NADH reduces a variety of different carbonyl compounds in biological systems.
• The configuration of the product (R or S) depends on the enzyme used to catalyze the process.
Enantioselectivity of NADH Reduction
![Page 34: Chapter 20 Carbonyl compounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102502/56813fef550346895daafab4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
• NAD+, the oxidized form of NADH, is a biological oxidizing agent capable of oxidizing alcohols to carbonyl compounds (it forms NADH in the process).
• NAD+ is synthesized from the vitamin niacin.

• In the reduction of an acid chloride, Cl− comes off as the leaving group.
• In the reduction of the ester, CH3O− comes off as the leaving group, which is then protonated by H2O to form CH3OH.

• A variety of oxidizing agents can be used, including CrO3, Na2Cr2O7, K2Cr2O7, and KMnO4.
• Aldehydes can also be oxidized selectively in the presence of other functional groups using silver(I) oxide in aqueous ammonium hydroxide (Tollen’s reagent).
• Since ketones have no H on the carbonyl carbon, they do not undergo this oxidation reaction.

• Li, Mg, and Cu are the most common organometallic metals.
• Other metals found in organometallic reagents are Sn, Si, Tl, Al, Ti, and Hg.
• General structures of common organometallic reagents are shown:

• Since both Li and Mg are very electropositive metals, organolithium (RLi) and organomagnesium (RMgX) reagents contain very polar carbon-metal bonds and are therefore very reactive reagents.
• Organomagnesium reagents are called Grignard reagents.
• Organocopper reagents (R2CuLi), also called organocuprates,
have a less polar carbon–metal bond and are therefore less reactive.
• Although they contain two R groups bonded to Cu, only one R group is utilized in the reaction.
• In organometallic reagents, carbon bears a δ− charge.

• Acetylide ions are another example of organometallic reagents.
• Acetylide ions can be thought of as “organosodium reagents”.
• Since sodium is even more electropositive than lithium, the C–Na bond of these organosodium compounds is best described as ionic, rather than polar covalent.

• An acid–base reaction can also be used to prepare sp hybridized organolithium compounds.
• Treatment of a terminal alkyne with CH3Li affords a lithium acetylide.
• The equilibrium favors the products because the sp hybridized C–H bond of the terminal alkyne is more acidic than the sp3 hybridized conjugate acid, CH4, that is formed.

• To determine what carbonyl and Grignard components are needed to prepare a given compound, follow these two steps:
Retrosynthetic Analysis of Grignard Products
![Page 62: Chapter 20 Carbonyl compounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102502/56813fef550346895daafab4/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)

63
• Writing the reaction in the synthetic direction—that is, from starting material to product—shows whether the synthesis is feasible and the analysis is correct.
• Note that there is often more than one way to synthesize a 2° alcohol by Grignard addition.
Synthesis of 3-pentanol
![Page 64: Chapter 20 Carbonyl compounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102502/56813fef550346895daafab4/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
64
• Addition of organometallic reagents cannot be used with molecules that contain both a carbonyl group and N–H or O–H bonds.
• Carbonyl compounds that also contain N–H or O–H bonds undergo an acid–base reaction with organometallic reagents, not nucleophilic addition.
Limitations of Organometallic Reagents
![Page 65: Chapter 20 Carbonyl compounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102502/56813fef550346895daafab4/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

Solving this problem requires a three-step strategy:
[1] Convert the OH group into another functional group that does not interfere with the desired reaction.
• This new blocking group is called a protecting group, and the reaction that creates it is called “protection”.
[2] Carry out the desired reaction.
[3] Remove the protecting group.
• This reaction is called “deprotection”.
• A common OH protecting group is a silyl ether.
Use of Protecting Groups
![Page 66: Chapter 20 Carbonyl compounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102502/56813fef550346895daafab4/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

Figure 20.7
General Protecting Group Strategy
• In Step [1], the OH proton in 5-hydroxypentanone is replaced with a protecting group, written as PG.
• Because the product no longer has an OH proton, it can now undergo nucleophilic addition.
• In Step [2], CH3MgCl adds to the carbonyl group to yield a 3o alcohol after protonation with water.
• Removal of the protecting group in Step [3] forms the desired product.
![Page 67: Chapter 20 Carbonyl compounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102502/56813fef550346895daafab4/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
67
• tert-Butyldimethylsilyl ethers are prepared from alcohols by reaction with tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride and an amine base, usually imidazole.
• The silyl ether is typically removed with a fluoride salt such as tetrabutylammonium fluoride (CH3CH2CH2CH2)4N+F−.
Preparing Silyl Ethers
![Page 68: Chapter 20 Carbonyl compounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102502/56813fef550346895daafab4/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
68
• The use of tert-butyldimethylsilyl ether as a protecting group makes possible the synthesis of 4-methyl-1,4-pentanediol by a three-step sequence.
Preparing Silyl Ethers
![Page 69: Chapter 20 Carbonyl compounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102502/56813fef550346895daafab4/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)

• Both esters and acid chlorides form 3° alcohols when treated with two equivalents of either Grignard or organolithium reagents.
Organometallic Reactions with Esters and Acid Chlorides
![Page 70: Chapter 20 Carbonyl compounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102502/56813fef550346895daafab4/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
70
• To form a ketone from a carboxylic acid derivative, a less reactive organometallic reagent—namely an organocuprate—is needed.
• Acid chlorides, which have the best leaving group (Cl−) of the carboxylic acid derivatives, react with R’2CuLi to give a ketone as the product.
• Esters, which contain a poorer leaving group (−OR), do not react with R’2CuLi.
Organocuprates—a Less Reactive Organometallic
![Page 71: Chapter 20 Carbonyl compounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102502/56813fef550346895daafab4/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
71
• Grignards react with CO2 to give carboxylic acids after protonation with aqueous acid.
• This reaction is called carboxylation.• The carboxylic acid formed has one more carbon atom than the
Grignard reagent from which it was prepared.
Grignard Reaction with CO2
![Page 72: Chapter 20 Carbonyl compounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102502/56813fef550346895daafab4/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
72
• Like other strong nucleophiles, organometallic reagents—RLi, RMgX, and R2CuLi—open epoxide rings to form alcohols.
Organometallic Reactions with Epoxides
![Page 73: Chapter 20 Carbonyl compounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102502/56813fef550346895daafab4/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
73
• The reaction follows the same two-step process as opening of epoxide rings with other negatively charged nucleophiles—that is, nucleophilic attack from the back side of the epoxide, followed by protonation of the resulting alkoxide.
• In unsymmetrical epoxides, nucleophilic attack occurs at the less-substituted carbon atom.
Organometallic Reactions with Epoxides
![Page 74: Chapter 20 Carbonyl compounds](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102502/56813fef550346895daafab4/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)

,-Unsaturated carbonyl compounds are conjugated molecules containing a carbonyl group and a C=C separated by a single bond.
• Resonance shows that the carbonyl carbon and the carbon bear a partial positive charge.

• This means that ,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds can react with nucleophiles at two different sites.

• The steps for the mechanism of 1,2-addition are exactly the same as those for the nucleophilic addition of an aldehyde or a ketone—that is, nucleophilic attack, followed by protonation.

81
[2] After an organometallic reagent adds to the carbonyl group, the fate of the intermediate depends on the presence or absence of a leaving group.
[3] The polarity of the R–M bond determines the reactivity of the reagents:
• RLi and RMgX are very reactive reagents.
• R2CuLi is much less reactive.

Synthesis Practice
• Synthesize 1-methylcyclohexene from cyclohexanol and any organic alcohol.
• Begin with Retrosynthetic Analysis:
• Form double bond from alcohol dehydration.
• Make the 3o alcohol by Grignard addition.
• Prepare the Grignard from methanol.

83
Synthesis Practice
• Four steps are required to accomplish the synthesis.
• Convert methanol to the Grignard reagent by forming the alkyl halide, followed by reaction with Mg.
• Add the Grignard reagent to cyclohexanone, followed by protonation, to form the alcohol.
• Acid-catalyzed elimination of water forms the desired product as the major product.
