Symmetry properties of Molecular Orbital’s

 

Symmetry properties of Molecular Orbital’s:

·       Molecular orbital’s of Ethene

            In alkenes molecular orbital’s of ethene the carbon atoms are sp2 hybridized. The double bond between two carbon atoms is comprised of a σ-bond and π-bond. The former (C-C σ-bond) is formed by overlap of two sp2 orbital’s. The overlapping result’s in two π-molecular orbitals. In this case bonding π-orbital’s is formed by the overlap of in phase (same phase) of ‘p’ orbital and other π* anti bonding orbital’s arises from the interference between two p-orbital’s of opposite phases. These are designated by ψ1 and ψ2 respectively. 

Molecular orbital diagram of ethene

·        Molecular orbital’s of 1,3 butadiene:      

    In butadiene there are four p-orbital’s (ignore the σ-skeleton) and their combination gives four orbital’s having wave function ψ1, ψ2,ψ3,ψ4 with different energies of these ψ1 and ψ2 π-molecular orbital is bonding and ψ3 and ψ4 are antibonding molecular orbital’s. Molecular orbital is bonding if the number of bonding interactions is greater than number of nodes between nuclei and molecular orbital’s is antibonding, if the number of bonding interaction is less than the number of nodes between the nuclei.



 Molecular orbital diagram of 1,3 butadiene 


    In case of butadiene out of the four molecular orbitals is ground state two vic. Ψ1 & ψ2 are lowest energies ψ2 is the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and ψ3* is the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital  (LUMO). Both HOMO and LUMO are referred to as Frontiers molecular orbital and are used in analysis of pericyclic reactions. On absorption of a photon of proper wavelength (in the UV range) an electron is promoted from ψ2 to ψ3* which then becomes a new HOMO.

Molecular Orbital’s of 1,3,5-hexatriene

            The six p-electron of 1,3,5-hexatriene are accommodated in the first three molecular π-orbital’s  ψ1,ψ2,ψ3 which are bonding orbital’s and the remaining three higher energy molecular π-orbital’s (ψ4,ψ5,ψ6) are antibonding orbital’s which are remain unoccupied in the ground state. That six π-electrons are accommodated in ψ1,ψ2 and ψ3 the bonding orbital’s.

The bonding or antibonding interactions of Frontier Molecular Orbital’s (FMO) determine whether reactions are thermally or photo chemically allowed or forbidden.


Classification of Pericyclic Reactions

 

Classification of Pericyclic Reactions

Introduction

            Most of the organic reactions proceeds in step wise manner.  However there are certain reactions, which proceed in a single concerted step via formation of a cyclic transition state involving π or σ electrons.

OR

Electron moves round a circle and there are no positive or negative charges on any intermediates-indeed, there are no intermediates at all, such type of reaction is called Pericyclic reactions.

eg. Diels-Alder reaction.




The energy for Pericyclic reaction is supplied by heat in thermally induced reaction or by ultraviolet in a photo-induced reaction. Pericyclic reactions are highly stereospecific. Thermal and photo-chemical process gives different products but specific stereochemistry.

            Pericyclic reactions do not involve ionic or free radical intermediates and so solvents and reagents have no effect on the source of reaction.

Types of Pericyclic reactions:

The three most common types of Pericyclic reactions are

1)      Cycloaddition reaction

2)      Electro cyclic reaction

3)      Sigma tropic reaction

  1)    Cycloaddition Reactions

In these reactions two or more π electron system combines to form a ring. The reaction involve conversion of two π bonds into two sigma bonds (or reveres).

An example of cycloaddition reaction is well known as Diels-Alder reaction.



 

2)2)Electrocyclic  Reactions

These are reversible reaction in which a compound with conjugation double bond undergoes cyclization. In this process two π electrons are used to form a σ-bond.

eg. 1,3,5 hexatriene on heating gives 1,3 cycloheaxadiene

 

 In the above illustration, an electrocyclic ring closer takes place. The reverse of this process is an electrocyclic ring opening.

 3)    Sigmatropic Rearrangements

            These are concerted intermolecular rearrangements. In these rearrangements an atoms (or group of atoms) shift from one position to another. The process involves breaking of bond and forming of a new bond.

(But number of π bonds remains same)

 eg.  3-methyl 1,5 hexadiene on heating gives 1,5 heptadiene.



Common example of sigmatropic reaction is Claisen rearrangement.

 

            Types of Pericyclic reaction


 Group Transfer Reaction: - a reaction in which one or more groups or atom transfer from one molecule. In this reaction both molecule are joined together by σ-bond.
