Protonation of an ethoxy oxygen
Propanoic acid (assumed catalyst, the usual choice) protonates one ethoxy oxygen of the orthoester so that ethanol can leave.
As setas curvas
- The ethoxy oxygen lone pair takes the acid proton.
- The O–H pair stays on the carboxylate oxygen.
Loss of ethanol gives an oxocarbenium ion
A neighbouring ethoxy lone pair pushes out ethanol, giving a dialkoxycarbenium ion; no free carbocation forms because oxygen donates into the empty orbital.
As setas curvas
- An ethoxy lone pair forms the C=O+ π bond.
- The C–O bond pair leaves with ethanol.
Allyl alcohol adds to the oxocarbenium ion
The allyl alcohol oxygen attacks the cationic carbon and the C=O+ π pair returns to the ethoxy oxygen.
As setas curvas
- The allyl alcohol oxygen lone pair bonds to the cationic carbon.
- The C=O+ π pair returns to the ethoxy oxygen.
Propanoate removes the O–H proton
Propanoate takes the proton from the new oxonium ion, giving a mixed allyloxy orthoester and regenerating propanoic acid.
As setas curvas
- The carboxylate oxygen lone pair takes the proton.
- The O–H pair stays on the allyloxy oxygen.
Protonation of a second ethoxy oxygen
The acid protonates another ethoxy oxygen to set up loss of a second ethanol.
As setas curvas
- The ethoxy oxygen lone pair takes the acid proton.
- The O–H pair stays on the carboxylate oxygen.
Loss of a second ethanol
The remaining ethoxy lone pair pushes out ethanol, giving a new oxocarbenium ion that carries the allyloxy group.
As setas curvas
- The ethoxy lone pair forms the C=O+ π bond.
- The C–O bond pair leaves with ethanol.
Deprotonation gives the ketene acetal
The methyl hydrogens next to the oxocarbenium carbon are acidic; propanoate removes one, giving the ketene acetal (an allyl vinyl ether).
As setas curvas
- The carboxylate lone pair takes a methyl proton.
- The C–H pair forms the ketene acetal C=C.
- The C=O+ π pair returns to the ethoxy oxygen.
Why heat and removal of ethanol?
Each exchange is an equilibrium; distilling off ethanol pulls it toward the ketene acetal, which is consumed irreversibly by the [3,3] shift.
[3,3] shift to the γ,δ-unsaturated ester
The ketene acetal C=C–O–CH2–CH=CH2 array rearranges through a chair transition state, making a new C–C bond and the ester C=O.
As setas curvas
- The allyl π pair forms the new C–C bond to the ketene acetal carbon.
- The breaking O–CH2 σ pair becomes the new C=C.
- The ketene acetal π pair forms the ester C=O.
Ethyl pent-4-enoate
The allyl group has moved from oxygen to carbon, extending the acetate by three carbons; two ethanol molecules are released and the propanoic acid catalyst is regenerated.
O que você vai praticar
Draw the acid-catalysed exchange of allyl alcohol into triethyl orthoacetate, the loss of ethanol that gives the ketene acetal, and the [3,3] shift to ethyl pent-4-enoate.
