● Difficulties encountered for
trisubstituted and

e.g. Cl cis or trans?
Br
H
Cl is cis to CH3
and trans to Br
Ch.
 The Cahn-Ingold-Prelog (E) - (Z)
Convention

● The system is based on the


atomic number of the attached
atom

● The higher the atomic number,


the higher the priority

Ch.
 The Cahn-Ingold-Prelog (E) - (Z)
Convention
● (E) configuration – the highest
priority groups are on the opposite
side of the double bond
 “E ” stands for “entgegen”; it
means “opposite” in German
● (Z) configuration – the highest
priority groups are on the same
side of the double bond
 “Z ” stands for “zusammen”; it
means “together” in German
Ch.
● Examples
CH3
Cl 1
2 Br
H
On carbon 2: Priority of Br > C
On carbon 1: Priority of Cl > H
 highest priority groups
are Br (on carbon 2)

Ch. 7
6A. How to Favor an E2 Mechanism
 Use a secondary or tertiary alkyl
halide if possible. (Because steric
hindrance in the substrate will
inhibit substitution)
 When a synthesis must begin with
a primary alkyl halide, use a bulky
base. (Because the steric bulk of
the base will inhibit substitution)

Ch. 7
 Use a high concentration of a
strong and non-polarizable base,
such as an alkoxide. [Because a
weak and polarizable base would
not drive the reaction toward a
bimolecular reaction, thereby
allowing unimolecular processes
(such as SN1 or E1 reactions) to
compete.]
Ch. 7
 Sodium ethoxide in ethanol
(EtONa/EtOH) and potassium tert-
butoxide in tert-butyl alcohol
(t-BuOK/t-BuOH) are bases
typically used to promote E2
reactions

 Use elevated temperature


because heat generally favors
elimination over substitution.
(Because elimination reactions are
entropically favored over Ch. 7

and Reactivity Illustrated by t
Alkylation of Alkynide Anions
 Preparation of the alkynide anion
involves simple Brønsted–Lowry
acid–base chemistry

Ch. 7
 Once formed, the alkynide anion
is a Lewis base with which the
alkyl halide reacts as an electron
pair acceptor (a Lewis acid). The
alkynide anion can thus be called
a nucleophile because of the
negative charge concentrated at
its terminal carbon—it is a reagent
that seeks positive charge

Ch. 7
 The alkyl halide can be called an
electrophile because of the
partial positive charge at the
carbon bearing the halogen—it is
a reagent that seeks negative
charge

 An estimation: a 100-year old yew tree
must be sacrificed in order to obtain 300
mg of Taxol, just enough for one single
dose for a cancer patient
 Obviously, synthetic organic chemistry
methods that would lead to the synthesis
of Taxol would be extremely useful
