C-C bond formation is very important⇒ larger more complex organic molecule can be made from⇒ larger, more complex organic molecule can be made from smaller ones

R-X + 2Li → RLi + LiX
⇒ Grignard reagent and organometallic compund are not useful for SN2 reactions because they are too reactive.
For the SFor the SNN2 enolates are used2 enolates are usedBecause they are not as reactive as organometallicBecause they are not as reactive as organometallic compunds, then C-C bond through SN2 can be formed

20.2 Halogenation of the α-CarbonThe reaction of an aldehyde or ketone with Cl2, Br2, or I2 under either acid or basic conditionor I2, under either acid or basic condition
Both acidic and basis conditions can be usedBoth acidic and basis conditions can be used

Under acidic conditions
The presence of the halogens retards the enolation, so the addition of single halogen is possibleg g p

20.3 Alkylation of Enolate Anions

⇒ Aldehydes cannot be used in such reactions⇒ Aldehydes cannot be used in such reactions because they are too reactive (side reactions)

2. Reactions with themselves: Aldol condensation

LDA: lithium diisopropylamideLDA: lithium diisopropylamide
⇒ It is a very strong base but not very nucleophilic due to the steric hindrance

nucleophilic due to the steric hindrance
To avoid the formation of two products, deprotonation of the ketones must produce a single enolate ionthe ketones must produce a single enolate ion.

20.4 Alkylation of More Stabilized Anions
Strong nucleophiles are normally strong bases,Strong nucleophiles are normally strong bases, then many side reactions are possible.

Therefore we might need to use less nucleophilic
enolates,
Then we might need more steps to, still the yieldThen we might need more steps to, still the yield
can be higher due to less side reaction.

20.5 The Aldol Condensation
(aldehyde + base) cannot be used for the alkylation ( y ) yof alkyl halide, because of the aldol condensation!
Carbonyl carbon of aldehyde is much moreCarbonyl carbon of aldehyde is much more electrophilic than those of ester, ketone, and nitrile!
ester ketone and nitrile ⇒ S 2
OrgChem-Chap20
27
ester, ketone, and nitrile ⇒ SN2

K tKetonesAs less electrophilic, usually no aldol condensation.
However when the product is 5- or 6- membered ring, then aldol condensation occurs!aldol condensation occurs!

Mechanism of the Claisen Ester Condensation

37Step 4 is the reason why this reaction is possible
For the compounds with only one on the α-carbon, Step 4 is impossible.
Th th t d ti i i iblThen the ester condensation is impossible
If stronger base is used, then condensation is possible
