3.3 Synthesis of Alkenes
Synthesis of Alkenes
Recall that alkenes can be prepared from alkyl halides and
alcohols via elimination reactions.

HydrohalogenationElectrophilic Addition of HX
Recall that trigonal planar atoms react with reagents from two
directions with equal probability.
Sometimes new stereogenic centers are formed from
hydrohalogenation:

3. HalogenationReaction Stereochemistry
Consider the chlorination of cyclopentene to afford both
enantiomers of trans-1,2-dichlorocyclopentene, with no cis
products.
Initial addition of the electrophile Cl+ from (Cl2) occurs from
either side of the planar double bond to form a bridged
chloronium ion.

3. HalogenationReaction Stereochemistry
In the second step, nucleophilic attack of Cl must occur from
the backside.
Since the nucleophile attacks from below and the leaving group
departs from above, the two Cl atoms in the product are oriented
trans to each other.
Backside attack occurs with equal probability at either carbon of
the three-membered ring to yield a racemic mixture.

4. Halohydrin Formation
Treatment of an alkene with a halogen X2 and H2O forms a
halohydrin by addition of the elements of X and OH to the
double bond.

Working backwards from the product to determine the starting material from
which it is made is called retrosynthetic analysis.
