1
Alkynes:
  • An Introduction to Organic Synthesis
2
Goals
  • After this chapter you should be able to:
    • Describe bonding in alkynes
    • Name alkynes
    • Apply alkene reactions to alkynes
    • Apply enol tautomerism in synthesis
    • Complete and partial reduction of alkynes
    • Use oxidative cleavage in synthesis
    • Use acetylide anion in synthesis
    • Show steps to synthesize various molecules using the reactions learned thus far.


3
Alkynes
  • Carbon-carbon triple bond
    • sp hybridized
    • Linear
    • One s and two p bonds


4
Alkyne Nomenclature
  • Lowest number to multiple  bond
  • More than one multiple bond
    • -diyne, -triyne etc.
    • Compounds with double and triple = enynes
    • Double bond gets lowest number when equal choice
  • As substituent groups are named as –ynyl gtoups
    • CH3C≡C-             1-propynyl group
    • HC≡CCH2-          2-propynyl group




5
Preparation of Alkynes:
  • Elimination reactions of dihalides
6
Reactions of Alkynes
  • Addition of HX - Markovnikov
7
Bromine addition to alkynes
  • Bromine adds one at a time
8
Addition Reaction Mechanisms
  • Mechanism is the same as alkene
9
Addition Reaction Mechanisms
  • Bromine addition same as for alkenes
10
Hydration  of Alkynes
  • Reaction is analogous to oxymercuration reaction for alkenes but forms an enol.
11
Hydration: Keto-Enol Tautomerism
12
Hydroboration - Oxidation
  • Internal Alkyne
13
Hydroboration - Oxidation
  • Terminal Alkyne
14
Reduction of Alkynes H2/Pd
  • Mechanism is the same for H2/Pd as for alkenes but readily goes to the alkane
    • Syn addition
15
Reduction of alkynes  with Lindlar Catalyst Stops at Alkene
16
Reduction of Alkynes with Li-NH3
  • Anti addition
17
Oxidation of Alkynes Cleavage
  • Mechanism is the same as for alkene
18
Alkyne Acidity
  • Acetylide Anions formed from sodium amide  -  Na+NH2-
19
Alkylation of Acetylide Anions
  • Once formed acetylide ions can act as nucleophiles in SN2 type reactions.
  •  What’s a leaving group to do…




  • But leave…. As Br- in this case.

Introduction to Organic Synthesis
  • It is generally best to work backward from products to reactants.
  • Use methods that do not affect other parts of the molecule.
  • Know how functional groups can be made.
  • Keep in mind the starting material.
  • Not all roads lead to Rome.
