Organic synthesis
« on: July 12, 2013, 07:03:43 PM »
Hello guys, do you have some idea how can I make this synthesis ? Thank you for answers

You have to show your attempts at solving the question to receive help. This is a forum policy. You will not get any help before you will post your own suggestions as to how synthesize the final product, or at least some possible steps leading in the right direction.

This is not a chemical engineering problem, but an organic chemistry problem, please post your questions in appropriate forums.

I made  a lot of synthesis but this one is really hard. So I dont have even idea how to start.. Maybe by some oxidation because I have to open this system of two cyklohexanes. I have to make it somehow because one girl from my high school will not be possible to study next year. I know that this is not right phorum for it but I just asked cause I'm totally lost :/

start from the target molecule, and work backwards towards your stating material.

At least take some effort in drawing your problem  a bit properly and neatly!

I always start from backwards, there is no another way for this synthesis.. But I can't make it anyway...

Please show what you have done so far - it's a forum rule. How could that starting alkene be fuctionalised? How do you propose to form the 5-membered ring?

I think I have a reasonable solution, but let's see what you have so far.

I would make oxidation, then I will have 2 ketone groups... then I could make reduction by NaBH3CN + NH3.. then I will have instead of ketone groups amino groups what is needed... but I'm not sure if it is good idea

step two denotes the conditions for aldol reaction, right?

... and I would disagree with the reaction product you've shown resulting thereof

in my opinion, you'll end up with something like this instead:

O=C1CCCCC2(O)CCCC12

I think the aldol product will dehydrate also. Since this is a more advanced problem I don't want to give too much away, but I can suggest Beckmann rearrangement as a one reaction.

I was unsure about that bit: (i)we would build a Bredt-olefine, (ii) aldol condensation is, if memory serves, supported by some type of coplanar arrangement of the Pi-electrones of the C=O group and those of the C=C bond to be, which should be somewhat hindered due to the interconnected ring systems.

furthermore, the question about which ring the doublebond would show up in was a bit unclear to me

Bredt's rule is about the smallest ring with a trans double bond. It was 10 in the starting material and 10 in the aldol product. Besides, I need that double bond for the next reaction.

I didn't doubt that for even a second....

but then: any idea how to ensure that it'll lead to the "right" side?
as I said, that bit gave me a headache...
