FORMATION AND REACTION OF
CARBENES, NITRENES & FREE RADICALS
BY- ASHUTOSH KUMAR SINGH
M.PHARM 2020
AMRITA SCHOOL OF PHARMACY
FORMATION OF CARBENES
 Carbenes are formed by reactions of halogenated compounds with bases.
 Alpha elimination of chloroform with base
 Catalysed decomposition of diazo carbonyl compound( By photolytic, thermal, and
transitional metal (Rh,Cu)- catalyzed routes.
Alpha-elimination of HX or X2 from an organic halide
• The elimination in which both the proton and the leaving group are located on
same atom
• Chloroform is treated with base,forming a dichlorocarbene.
Catalysed decomposition of diazo carbonyl compound
CARBENE FORMATION:-
REACTIONS OF CARBENES
 Three major classes of carbenes reaction
 Carbene insertion
 Carbene addition
 Carbene rearrangement
CARBENE INSERTION:-
 C-H insertion
 C-C insertion
CARBENE REARRANGMENT
 Wolff rearrangement
 The wolff rearrangement is a reaction in organic chemistry in which an alpha-
diazocarbonyl compound is comverted into ketene by loss of dinitrogen with
accompanying 1,2-rearrangement.
GENERATION OF NITRINES :-
 Like carbenes they are also generated by protolytic, thermal or base catalyzed alpha-
elimination reaction.
 From sulfinylamines:- pyrolysis of sulfinylamine gives nitrenes
 Eg:-
REACTION OF NITRENES
(a) Insertion:- A nitrene can easily insert into a carbon to hydrogen covalent
bond yielding an amine or amide. A singlet nitrene reacts with retention of
configuration.
 (b)
FREE RADICAL
 Thermolysis or photolysis of organic peroxides and azo compounds generates
free radicals.
 Stabilization of free radicals:
Resonance effect due to conjugation stabilizes the free radical.
REACTION OF FREE RADICAL
 A radical substitution reaction is a reaction which occurs by a free
radical mechanism and results in the substitution of one or more of
the atoms or groups present in the substrate by different atoms or
groups.
 The initiation step in a radical chain reaction is the step in which a
free radical is first produced. A termination step of a radical chain
reaction is one in which two radicals react together in some way so
that the chain can no longer be propagated.
