Carbon–Carbon Bond Forming Reactions• To form the carbon skeletons of complex molecules, organic
chemists need an extensive repertoire of carbon–carbon bond forming reactions.
• We have earlier looked at reactions of organometallic reagents such as Grignard, organolithium and organocuprate reagents with carbonyl and other substrates to form larger molecules.
• The focus of this chapter will be on additional carbon–carbon bond forming reactions which utilize a variety of starting materials and conceptually different reactions.
• Three such reactions involve coupling of an organic halide with an organometallic reagent or alkene: (1) Organocuprate coupling reactions, (2) Suzuki reaction, and (3) Heck reaction.

• Organocuprate reagents react with a variety of functional groups including acid chlorides, epoxides and ,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.
• Organocuprate reagents also react with organic halides R′–X to form coupling products R–R′ that contain a new C–C bond.
• Only one R group of the organocuprate is transferred to form the product, while the other becomes part of the RCu, a reaction product.

• Methyl, 1°, cyclic 2°, vinyl, and aryl halides can be used.• Reactions with vinyl halides are stereospecific.• The halogen (X) may be Cl, Br, or I.• Tertiary (3°) halides are too sterically hindered to react.

• Since organocuprate reagents are prepared in two steps from alkyl halides (RX), this method ultimately converts two organic halides (RX and R′X) into a hydrocarbon R–R′ with a new carbon–carbon bond.
• This means that using this methodology, a given hydrocarbon can often be made by two different routes.

• During a reaction, Pd is coordinated to a variety of groups called ligands, which donate electron density to (or sometimes withdraw electron density from) the metal.
• A common electron donating ligand is phosphine, some derivatives of which are shown:

• Organopalladium compounds are generally prepared in situ during the course of a reaction, from another palladium reagent such as Pd(OAc)2 or Pd(PPh3)4.
• “Ac” is the abbreviation for the acetyl group, CH3C=O, so OAc is the abbreviation for CH3CO2
−.• In most useful reactions, only a catalytic amount of Pd
reagent is used.• Two common processes, called oxidative addition and
reductive elimination, dominate many reactions of palladium compounds.

• The Suzuki reaction is a palladium-catalyzed coupling of an organic halide (R′X) with an organoborane (RBY2) to form a product (R–R′) with a new C–C bond.
• Pd(PPh3)4 is the typical palladium catalyst.• The reaction is carried out in the presence of a base such as
NaOH or NaOCH2CH3.• Vinyl or aryl halides are most often used, and the halogen is
usually Br or I.• The Suzuki reaction is completely stereospecific.

25
• Two types of organoboranes can be used in the Suzuki reaction: vinylboranes and arylboranes.
• Vinylboranes, which have a boron atom bonded to a carbon–carbon double bond, are prepared by hydroboration using catecholborane, a commercially available reagent.
• Hydroboration adds H and B in a syn fashion to form a trans vinylborane.
• With terminal alkynes, hydroboration always places the boron atom on the less substituted terminal carbon.

26
• Arylboranes, which have a boron atom bonded to a benzene ring, are prepared from organolithium reagents by reaction with trimethyl borate [B(OCH3)3].

Synthesis Using the Suzuki Reaction
• The Suzuki reaction was a key step in the synthesis of bombykol, the sex pheromone of the female silkworm moth.
• The synthesis of humulene illustrates that an intramolecular Suzuki reaction can form a ring.

• The Heck reaction is a Pd-catalyzed coupling of a vinyl or aryl halide with an alkene to form a more highly substituted alkene with a new C–C bond.
• One H atom of the alkene starting material is replaced by the R’ group of the vinyl or aryl halide.
• Palladium(II) acetate [Pd(OAc)2] in the presence of a triarylphosphine [P(o-tolyl)3] is the typical catalyst.
• The reaction is carried out in the presence of a base such as triethylamine.

32
• The alkene component is typically ethylene or a monosubstituted alkene (CH2=CHZ).
• The halogen is typically Br or I.• When Z=Ph, COOR or CN in a monosubstituted alkene, the
new C–C bond is formed on the less substituted carbon to afford a trans alkene.
• When a vinyl halide is used as the organic halide, the reaction is stereospecific.

34
• To use the Heck reaction in synthesis, you must determine what alkene and what organic halide are needed to prepare a given compound.
• To work backwards, locate the double bond with the aryl, COOR, or CN substituent, and break the molecule into two components at the end of the C=C not bonded to one of these substituents.

• A carbene, R2C:, is a neutral reactive intermediate that contains a divalent carbon surrounded by six electrons—the lone pair, and two each from the two R groups.
• These three groups make the carbene carbon sp2 hybridized, with a vacant p orbital extending above and below the plane containing the C and the two R groups.
• The lone pair occupies an sp2 hybrid orbital.

• Dihalocarbenes, :CX2, are especially useful reactive intermediates since they are readily prepared from trihalomethanes (CHX3) by reaction with strong base.
• For example, treatment of chloroform (CHCl3) with KOC(CH3)3 forms dichlorocarbene, :CCl2.
• Dichlorocarbene is formed by a two-step process that results in the elimination of the elements of H and Cl from the same carbon.
• Loss of the two elements from the same carbon is called elimination.

41
• Since dihalocarbenes are electrophiles, they readily react with double bonds to afford cyclopropanes, forming two new carbon–carbon bonds.

42
• Cyclopropanation is a concerted reaction, so both bonds are formed in a single step.
• Carbene addition occurs in a syn fashion from either side of the planer double bond.
• Carbene addition is a stereospecific reaction, since cis and trans alkenes yield different stereoisomers as products.

Methylene, The Simplest Carbene• Methylene, :CH2, is readily prepared by heating
diazomethane, which decomposes and loses nitrogen.
• The reaction of methylene produced in this manner with an alkene often leads to a complex mixture of products.
• Thus the reaction cannot be reliably used for cylcopropane synthesis.

• Nonhalogenated cyclopropanes can be prepared by the reaction of an alkene with diiodomethane, CH2I2, in the presence of a copper-activated zinc reagent called zinc–copper couple [Zn(Cu)].
• This is known as the Simmons–Smith reaction.• The reaction is stereospecific.

• Alkene (olefin) metathesis is a reaction between two alkene molecules that results in the interchange of the carbons of their double bonds.
• Two and two bonds are broken and two new and two new bonds are formed.
Alkene Metathesis
![Page 49: C-C Bond formation](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061408/56815ccf550346895dcadf40/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
49
• Olefin metathesis occurs in the presence of a complex transition metal catalyst that contains a carbon–metal double bond.
• The metal is typically ruthenium (Ru), tungsten (W), or molybdenum (Mo).
• In a widely used catalyst called Grubbs catalyst, the metal is Ru.
• Metathesis catalysts are compatible with the presence of many functional groups (such as OH, OR, and C=O).
Catalysts for Metathesis
![Page 50: C-C Bond formation](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061408/56815ccf550346895dcadf40/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
50
• Because olefin metathesis is an equilibrium process and with many alkene substrates yields a mixture of starting material and two or more alkene products, it is useless for preparative processes.
• However, with terminal alkenes, one metathesis product is ethylene gas (CH2=CH2), which escapes from the reaction mixture and drives the equilibrium to the right.
• Thus, monosubstituted alkenes (RCH=CH2) and 2,2-disubstituted alkenes (R2C=CH2) are excellent metathesis substrates because high yields of a single alkene product are obtained.
Usefulness of Metathesis Reactions

• When a diene is used as a starting material, ring closure occurs.
• These reactions are typically run in very dilute solution so that the reactive ends of the same molecule have a higher probability of finding each other.
• High dilution favors intramolecular rather than intermolecular metathesis.

General synthesis strategies1) Build carbon framework with enolate
reactions and other C-C bond building reactions (Suzuki, Heck, Metathesis, Cuprates, Diels-Alder, & more.)
1) Use functionalities to activate C-C bond building chemistry
2) Functional group conversions to provide desired organic substituents
