  • The Robinson Annulation is really neat, you guys. It's a Michael Addition followed by an intramolecular Aldol Condensation, and it makes a ring! Contain your excitement, you don't want a public disturbance violation.

    How do you know which carbon to deprotonate (which enolate to form) during the intramolecular aldol condensation step?
    Also, at the end, do we really have hydroxide as a leaving group? Not water?

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  Před 8 lety +2

      +Darlina Liu good questions! first, it's absolutely true that you could enolize on either side of the carbonyl for the second step, but a four-membered ring is much less likely to form, so enolization on the inside of the carbonyl might just be reversed to reform the carbonyl until enolization occurs on the other side, at which point the ring might snap shut to get the six-membered ring. and yes hydroxide is a reasonable leaving group in strong basic conditions, if there's a bunch of hydroxide swimming around in solution one more won't hurt.

    Hey Prof. Dave. Me again. Pestering you by now probably. But, will be happy to donate by next month hopefully as I do deeply appreciate you answering my ridiculous questions. On the tauteromerization part (probably spelled it wrong) why does the OH grab that hydrogen on Carbon 4 shortly before the ring is made? I believe it's Carbon 4, it appears to be primary with 3 hydrogens. Anyway why that Carbon and not any on the other Carbons? Not surprised that curiosity hasn't killed me yet !

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  Před 5 lety

    Why doesn't the Robinson Annulation always happen because the product of a michael addition creates two carbonyl groups that could react as such?

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  Před 9 lety +1

      Eva C well it depends on the structure of the electrophile, it needs to be able to form a six-membered ring in the transition state of the second step, so if there is a phenyl or tert-butyl group alpha to the carbonyl it won't work. there could also be issues due to sterics. but fundamentally you are correct that many michael additions could result in subsequent robinson annulation.
