Addition of X2 - halogenation

Addition of HX - hydrohalogenation
Addition of X2
Alkynes add one mole of bromine to give a
dibromoalkene. Addition shows anti
stereoselectivity.
Addition of X2
Addition of bromine to an alkyne follows much the same
mechanism as that for the bromination of an alkene,
namely formation of a bridged bromonium ion
intermediate, which is then attacked by bromide ion from
the face opposite that occupied by the positively charged
bromine atom. Addition of second mole of bromine gives
a tetrabromoalkane.

Addition of HX
Alkynes undergo regioselective addition of either
1 or 2 moles of HX, depending on the ratios in
which the alkyne and halogen acid are mixed.
Addition of both the first and secod moles of HX is
regioselective, follows Markovnikovs rule.
Addition of HX
1st mole of HX
Step 1: Make a new bond between a nucleophile (a !
bond) and an electrophile - add a proton.

Addition of HX
2nd mole of HX
In the addition of the second mole of HX, step 1 is
reaction of the electron pair of the remaining !
bond with HBr to form a carbocation.
Of the two possible carbocations, the resonancestabilized 2 carbocation is favored.

Hydroboration
Addition of borane to an alkyne is called
hydrboration, and gives a trialkenylborane.
Addition is syn stereoselective.

Hydroboration
Mechanism:
Step 1:
Coordination of the vacant
2p orbital of boron with the
electron pair of the ! bond.
"#
"+
Step 2:
After coordination, the boron (electrophile) adds
to the less substituted carbon of the alkyne !
bond (nucleophile), thereby placing the hydrogen
on the more substituted carbon.

Hydroboration
To prevent dihydroboration with terminal alkynes, it is
necessary to use a sterically hindered dialkylborane,
such as (sia)2BH.

Hydroboration-Oxidation to Aldehyde
and Ketone
An enol is in equilibrium with a keto form by migration
of a hydrogen from oxygen to carbon and migration of
the double bond from C=C to C=O.
Keto forms generally predominate at equilibrium.
Keto and enol forms are tautomers and their
interconversion is called tautomerism.

Reduction to Alkane

Reduction to Alkane
Mechanism:
Step 1: The metal adsorbs hydrogen and the ! system of the
alkyne. One carbon adds a hydrogen and is released from the metal
surface. The second carbon then adds a hydrogen and is released from
the metal surface to form alkene intermediate.
21
Reduction to Alkane
Step 2: Repeat step 1 one more time. The metal adsorbs hydrogen
and the ! system of the intermediate alkene. One carbon adds a
hydrogen and is released from the metal surface. The second carbon
then adds a hydrogen and is released from the metal surface to form
alkane product.
