Presentation Transcript
Topic :- Organo-Metallic Chemistry Dr. Satish U. Deshmukh Department of Chemistry Deogiri College Aurangabad 1
Organo-Metallic Compounds 2) Organolithium Reagents Organo-lithium reagents or compounds General Representation R-Li R= Alkyl and acts as a Nucleophilic Group Li= Metal and Highly Ionic Bond This reagent has large application in organic synthesis to C-C bond. Use of R-Li reagents offers a very efficient method for coupling of two different carbon moieties . Most important alkyIlithium reagents is the butyl lithium. 2
Organo-Metallic Chemistry Synthesis of Organo-lithium reagents 3
Organo-Metallic Chemistry Structure of Organo-lithium reagents The straightforward alkyIlithium reagents exist in as hexamers in organic solvents specially hydrocarbon . In ethers tetrameric structures are typically major 4
Organo-Metallic Chemistry Chemical Properties of Organo-lithium reagents Metalation Reaction with compounds containing acidic hydrogen. This reaction is an important means of preparing a variety of newer organo-lithium reagents from butyl- lithium. Acetylenic hydrogen is also very reactive or more acidic protons towards lithiation because of the high acidity of acetylenic hydrogen. 5
