Chapter 6 Ionic Reactions---Nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions of alkylhalides ( 卤代烃的亲核取代反应和消除反应）

Because halogen atoms are more electronegative than carbon, the carbon-halogen bond of alkyl halides is polarized; the carbon atom bears a

partial positive charge, the halogen atom a partial negative charge.

6.2 Physical properties of organic halides• Very low solubilities in water

• They are miscible with each other and with other relatively nonpolar solvents

• CH2Cl, CHCl3 and CCl4 are often used as solvents for nonpolar

• CHCl3 and CCl4 have a cumulative toxicity and are carcinogenic.

• Polyfluoroalkanes have low boiling points,• (Hexafluoroethane boils at –79o)

6.3 Reaction Mechanisms

Mechanism of the reaction—The events that are postulated to take place at the molecular

level as reactants become products

If the reaction takes place in more than one step, then what are these steps, and what kinds of intermediates intervene between

reactants and products?

6.3B Reactive intermediates in organic chemistry

Organic reactions that take place in more than one step involve the formation of an intermediate----one that results from either homolysis or heterolysis of a bond. Homolysis of a bond to carbon leads to an intermediate known

as a carbon radical (free radical)

Carbanions are usually strong bases and strong nucleophiles. Nucleophiles are lewis basesthey are electron-pair donors. Carbon radicals, carbocations, and carbonions are usually highly reactive species.

6.3C Ionic reactions ( 离子反应） and radical reactions （自由基反

• In radical reactions, they undergo homolysis (in detail in chapter 7)

The relative stability of carbocations(Most stable)

An SN1 MechanismFor a methyl, primary, or secondary halide to react by an SN1 mechanism it would have to ionize to form a methyl, primary, or secondary carbocation. These carbocations, however, are much higher in energy than a tertiary carbocation, and the transition states leading to these carbocations are higher in

energy. The activation energy for an SN1 reaction of a simple methyl, primary or secondary halide, consequently, is so large (the re

action is so slow) .

6.15B The effect of the concentration and strength of the nucleoph

ile( 亲核试剂浓度和强度效应）Since the nucleophile does not participate in the

rate-determining step of an SN1 reaction, the rates of SN1 reactions are unaffected by either the concentration or the identity of the nucleophile. The rates of SN2 reactions, however, depend on both the concentration and the identity of the attacking nucleophile. We saw that how increasing the concentration of the nucleophile increases th

e rate of an SN2 reaction.

We describe nucleophiles as being strong or weak. When we do this we are really describing their relative reactives in SN2 reactions. A strong nucleophile is one that reacts rapidly with a given substrate. A weak nucleophile is one that reacts slowly with the same substrate under the same reaction conditions.

The relative strengths of nucleophiles can be correlated with two struc

This is also their order of basicity. An alkoxide ion (RO-) is a slightly stronger base than a hydroxide ion (HO-), a hydroxide ion is a much stronger base than a carboxylate ion (RCOO-), and so on

6.15D Solvent effects on SN1 reactions. The ionizing ability of

the solvent

Because of its ability to solvate cations and anions so effectively, the use of a polar protic solvent will greatly increase the rate of ionization of an alkyl halide in any SN1

reaction.

6.15E The nature of the leaving group ( 离去基团的本性）

The Best leaving groups are those that become the most stable ions after they depart. Since most leaving groups leave as a negative ion, the best leaving groups are those ions that

stabilize a negative charge most effectively. Because weak bases do this best, the best

leaving groups are weak bases.

In either an SN1 or SN2 reaction the leaving group begins to

acquire a negative charge as the transition state is reached

6.20 Substitution (SN1 and SN2) versus Elimination (E2 and E1)

Since eliminations occur best by an E2 path when carried out with a high concentration of a strong base ( and thus a high concentration of a strong nucleophile), substitution reactions by an SN2 path often compete with the elimination reaction. When the nucleophile attacks the carbon atom bearing the leaving g

roup, substitution results.

SN2 compete with E2, SN1 compete with E1.

The SN2 compete with E2
