• To utilize the aldol reaction in synthesis, you must be able to determine which aldehyde or ketone is needed to prepare a particular β-hydroxy carbonyl compound or α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound—that is, you must be able to work backwards in the retrosynthetic direction.

• A directed aldol reaction is one that clearly defines which carbonyl compound becomes the nucleophilic enolate and which reacts at the electrophilic carbonyl carbon:
[1] The enolate of one carbonyl component is prepared with LDA.
[2] The second carbonyl compound (the electrophile) is added to this enolate.
• Both carbonyl components can have α hydrogens because only one enolate is prepared with LDA.
• When an unsymmetrical ketone is used, LDA selectively forms the less substituted kinetic enolate.

• The aldol reaction is synthetically useful because it forms new carbon–carbon bonds, generating products with two functional groups.
• β-Hydroxy carbonyl compounds formed in aldol reactions are readily transformed into a variety of other compounds.
Figure 24.3 Conversion of a β-hydroxy
carbonyl compound into other compounds
Useful Transformations of Aldol Products
27
[2] When one carbonyl component has especially acidic α hydrogens, these hydrogens are more readily removed than the other α H atoms. • As a result, the β-dicarbonyl compound always becomes
the enolate component of the aldol reaction.
Use of Crossed Aldol Reactions
28
• β-Dicarbonyl compounds are sometimes called active methylene compounds because they are more reactive towards base than other carbonyl compounds.
• 1,3-Dinitriles and α-cyano carbonyl compounds are also active methylene compounds.
Active Methylene Compounds
29
• In this type of crossed aldol reaction, the initial β-hydroxy compound always loses water to form the highly conjugated product.

Directed Aldol Reactions • Periplanone B is an extremely active compound produced in
small amounts by the American cockroach. • Its structure was determined using 200 µg isolated from more
than 75,000 female cockroaches.

• Aldol reactions with dicarbonyl compounds can be used to make five- and six-membered rings.
• The enolate formed from one carbonyl group is the nucleophile, and the carbonyl carbon of the other is the electrophile.
• For example, treatment of 2,5-hexadienone with base forms a five-membered ring.
• 2,5-Hexanedione is called a 1,4-dicarbonyl compound to emphasize the relative positions of its carbonyl groups.
• 1,4-Dicarbonyl compounds are starting materials for synthesizing five-membered rings.
Intramolecular Aldol Reactions
33
34
• When 2,5-hexanedione is treated with base in Step [1], two different enolates are possible—enolates A and B, formed by removal of Ha and Hb, respectively.
• Although enolate A goes on to form the five-membered ring, intramolecular cyclization using enolate B would lead to a strained three-membered ring.
Use of Crossed Aldol Reactions
• Because the three-membered ring is much higher in energy than the enolate starting material, equilibrium greatly favors the starting materials and the three-membered ring does not form.
35
• In a similar fashion, six-membered rings can be formed from the intramolecular aldol reaction of 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds.
Intramolecular Aldol Reactions
36
• The synthesis of the female sex hormone progesterone involves an intramolecular aldol reaction.

37
• In the Claisen reaction, two molecules of an ester react with each other in the presence of an alkoxide base to form a β-keto ester.
• Unlike the aldol reaction which is base-catalyzed, a full equivalent of base is needed to deprotonate the β-keto ester formed in Step [3] of the Claisen reaction.
• Since esters have a leaving group on the carbonyl carbon, loss of the leaving group occurs to form the product of substitution, not addition.
The Claisen Reactions
38
39
• The characteristic reaction of esters is nucleophilic substitution.
• A Claisen reaction is a nucleophilic substitution in which an enolate is the nucleophile.

• Like the aldol reaction, it is sometimes possible to carry out a Claisen reaction with two different carbonyl components as starting materials.
• A Claisen reaction between two different carbonyl compounds is called a crossed Claisen reaction.
• A crossed Claisen is synthetically useful in two different instances: [1] Between two different esters when only one has
α hydrogens, one product is usually formed.

[2] Between a ketone and an ester—the enolate is always formed from the ketone component, and the reaction works best when the ester has no α hydrogens.
• The product of this crossed Claisen reaction is a β-dicarbonyl compound, not a β-keto ester.

Vast excess of ethyl formate (low bp)
47
• β-Dicarbonyl compounds are also prepared by reacting an enolate with ethyl chloroformate or diethyl carbonate.
Forming β-Dicarbonyl Compounds
Ethyl chloroformate reacts with ethoxide to form diethyl carbonate
48
• Reaction [2] is noteworthy because it provides easy access to β-keto esters, which are useful starting materials in the acetoacetic ester synthesis.
• In this reaction, Cl− is eliminated rather than −OEt in Step [3] because Cl− is a better leaving group, as shown in the following steps.

• An intramolecular Claisen reaction is called a Dieckmann reaction.

• The Michael reaction involves two carbonyl components—the enolate of one carbonyl compound and an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound.
• Recall that α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds are resonance stabilized and have two electrophilic sites—the carbonyl carbon and the β carbon.
The Michael Reaction
53
• The α,β-unsaturated carbonyl component is often called a Michael acceptor.
Michael Acceptors
54
55
• When the product of a Michael reaction is also a β-keto ester, it can be hydrolyzed and decarboxylated by heating in aqueous acid.
• This forms a 1,5-dicarbonyl compound. • 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds are starting materials for
intramolecular aldol reactions.

• The Robinson annulation is a ring-forming reaction that combines a Michael reaction with an intramolecular aldol reaction.
• The starting materials for a Robinson annulation are an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound and an enolate.
The Robinson Annulation
62
• The Robinson annulation forms a six-membered ring and three new C–C bonds—two σ bonds and one π bond.
• The product contains an α,β-unsaturated ketone in a cyclohexane ring—that is, a 2-cyclohexenone.
• To generate the enolate component of the Robinson annulation, −OH in H2O or −OEt in EtOH are typically used.
The Robinson Annulation
63
64
65
• To draw the product of Robinson annulation without writing out the entire mechanism each time:
[1] Place the α carbon of the carbonyl compound that becomes the enolate next to the β carbon of the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound.
[2] Join the appropriate carbons together as shown. If you follow this method of drawing the starting materials, the double bond in the product always ends up in the same position of the six-membered ring.
