Organometallic compounds Nomenclature the polarisation depends upon the character of the metal methylsodium butyllithium tetraethylplumbium ethylmethylcadmium phenyllithium methylmagnesiumbromid Organometallic compounds reactivity of the compound depends upon the quality of the metal – its position in periodic systeme Reactivity: 1.Basicity – extrem basicity 2.Nucleophility Theory of HSAB: Arhenius, Bronstead To show basicity a presence of acid is needed, it is necessary interaction of two partners mostly we are considering reactions in water but also a lot of reactions proceeds in non-aqueous medium, but also there one partner may be an acid and the other a base Organometallic compounds RELATIVITY ACID vs. BASE K1 B2 B1 K2 pKa2 = 50 pKa1 = 25 Reactivity: 1.Basicity – extrem basicity 2.Nucleophility Organometallic compounds reactivity of organometal depends upon its position in periodic system strong nucleophile in case in the molecule is not acidic atom, then reacts as nucleophile Reactivity: 1.Basicity – extrem basicity 2.Nucleophility Organometallic compounds reactivity of organometal depends upon its position in periodic system depression of nucleophility by a tranfer to cuprates Gilman reagent Reactivity: 1.Basicity – extrem basicity 2.Nucleophility Organometallic compounds Methodes of preparation: 1.Reaction alkyl halogenides with metals Grignard reagent sometimes combined systemes Reformatsky ether Organometallic compounds this is imposible to use for organometals with Na and K WURTZ Mechanism: 2. exchange reaction between organometal and salt of other metal M is more elektropozitive than metal M1, X is halogen Organometallic compounds 3. application of acidic hydrogen atoms in a molecule
