RETROSYNTHETIC   APPROCH  TO ORGANIC SYNTHESIS Prof. Dr. Shaikh S. Nizami Department of Chemistry University of Karachi
BASIC  CONCEPTS (Part 1)
CONTENTS Definition of synthesis Importance of synthesis Polarity of bonds Arrow notations Basic concepts of Retrosynthesis
READING   MATTERIALS
DEFINATION The preparation of a  desired   organic compound   from  a readily available  starting material  is  known  as organic synthesis [Synthesis---- singular] [Syntheses--- plural]
DESIRED  ORGANIC COMPOUND The compound we wish to prepare  It is called  Target Molecule Desired Organic Compound is denoted by  TM
STARTING   MATERIAL Readily available Commercial Inexpensive contains five carbon atoms or less apart from aromatic  ring
OBJECTIVE To get a pure sample of the desired organic compound To avoid the reactions that will produce a mixture of products
PURE COMPOUND To study Physical properties Chemical properties Pharmacological properties
Reasons for synthesizing Organic Compound 1. Proof of structure of a natural compound 2. To prepare compounds that are useful to mankind e.g. pharmaceutical, polymers, dyes etc.
Reasons for synthesizing Organic Compound 3.   To prepare specific compounds  to study reaction mechanisms or  biological metabolism e.g. labelled  compounds   4.   For the intellectual challenges –  new problems demand new solutions and can lead to the development of NEW CHEMISTRY, reagents, etc .
SOME FASCINATING  COMPOUNDS
BOND POLARITY (Polar covalent bond) Most heteroatom are more electronegative than carbon  i.e.  O, N, Br, Cl,  Partial positive charge appears  on carbon (  +)
BOND POLARITY (Polar covalent bond) Si, Mg,Li are electropositive compared with the carbon The polarity in these case is reversed partial negative charge appears on carbon (  -)
ARROW NOTATION Simple reaction arrow “ reacts to give” Delocalisation arrow “ two different ways to draw the same  delocalised structures” Equilibrium arrow Curved arrow “ two structures are interconverting” “ motion of two electrons” Fish-hook arrow   “ motion of one electron” Retrosynthesis  arrow “ could be made from”
RETROSYNTHESIS It is reverse of the synthetic steps  We have a reliable reaction in mind
RETROSYNTHETIC ANALYSIS 1. The process of WORKING BACKWARD from the TM in order to devise suitable synthetic route 2.  Retrosynthetic Analysis  can be done by  two methods   a) Disconnection b) Functional Group Interconversion
DISCONNECTION 1.A paper operation involving an imagined cleavage of a bond. 2.As a result of  disconnection usually negative ion and positive ion are formed which are called ‘ SYNTHONS ’ 3.Disconnection is shown by a wavy line like  ~  or  VVVVVVVV
JIGSAW PUZZLE (Target Puzzle)
PUZZLE (Disconnection)
DISCONNECTION OF C-C SYNTHONS
FUNCTIONAL GROUP INTERCONVERSION ( FGI ) The process of writing one functional group for another to help synthetic planning is known as  FGI
FUNCTIONAL GROUP INTERCONVERSION ( FGI ) FGI can be done by  ADDITION  SUBSTITUTION ELIMINATION OXIDATION / REDUCTION FREE RADICAL REACTION
SYNTHONS These are idealized fragments Synthons  are shown by a  +  or  –  sign like anion or  cation  (Not real anion or cation) May or may not be intermediate in the corresponding reactions
SYNTHETIC EQUIVALENT The actual compound used to function as synthon  Denoted by a triple line   Known as  REAGENT
Retrosynthetic analysis, Synthons & Synthetic equivalents R — R  ……………………………………………………………………… R + + R - R - + R +     TM RBr, RI, ROMe, ROTs RMgBr, RLi, LiCuR 2 Synthons Synthetic equivalents
DESIGNING A SYNTHESIS Recognize the functional groups in the target molecule Disconnect by methods corresponding to known and reliable reactions Repeat as necessary to reach available starting material
SYNTHESIS Write out the plan according to the analysis, adding reagents and conditions Modify the plan according to unexpected failure in the laboratory
RETOSYNTHETIC ANALYSIS   Hawthorn perfume
EFFECTIVE SYNTHESIS An understanding of reaction mechanism A working knowledge of reliable reactions
EFFECTIVE SYNTHESIS An appreciation that some compounds are available  An understanding of stereochemistry
