Birch Reduction || Dissolving Metal Reduction || Concept Booster | Jee Mains | Advance | NEET

Hello Guys, In this video, we are going to discuss a very important topic for Jee Mains, advanced, NEET and AIIMS. The Birch reduction is an organic reaction where aromatic rings undergo a 1,4-reduction to provide unconjugated cyclohexadienes. The reduction is conducted by sodium or lithium metal in liquid ammonia and in the presence of an alcohol. The mechanism begins with a single electron transfer(SET) from the metal to the aromatic ring, forming a radical anion. The anion then picks up a proton from the alcohol which results in a neutral radical intermediate. Another SET, and abstraction of a proton from the alcohol results in the final cyclohexadiene product and two equivalents of metal alkoxide salt as a byproduct. In the case of substituted aromatic rings, the regiochemistry can be predicted using Birch's empirical rules.
Alkynes can be reduced to trans-alkenes with the use of sodium dissolved in an ammonia solvent. An Na radical donates an electron to one of the P bonds in a carbon-carbon triple bond. This forms an anion, which can be protonated by a hydrogen in an ammonia solvent. This prompts another Na radical to donate an electron to the second P orbital. Soon after this anion is also protonated by a hydrogen from the ammonia solvent, resulting in a trans-alkene.
R-C≡C-R + 2 Na in NH3 (liq) = trans R-CH=CH-R + 2 NaNH2
Many other important reactions from dissolving metal reaction has been discussed in details. We Hope this would be great help for you Guys.

Umeed karta hun sir ki aap sare reagents ke bare me padha doge exam tak
Sabse jyada sir confusion oxidising agent aur reducing agent ke functiom me hi hota hai ki kaun sa reagent kis kis compound ke liye use karte hai. Abtak aapne jitne bataye usase sambandhit cheejo me ab koi confusion nahi raha
