Q

which is more reactive, aldehydes or ketones and why?

A

aldehydes are more reactive because the hydrogen beside the carbonyl makes it more susceptible to reaction

Q

what type of solvent are Grignard reactions done in and why?

A

non-protic solvents because Grignard reagents are very reactive so they need this solvent to stabilize the reaction

Q

what are the steps for a Grignard reagent reaction?

A
  1. bring the pi bond from the carbonyl to the oxygen and give the oxygen a negative charge
  2. count the carbons in the Grignard molecule and add that amount of carbons to the carbon of interest in the other molecule (the one with the negative charge oxygen)

Q

why are reactions with weak nucleophiles reversible?

A

The weak nucleophile is less likely to attack the electrophile, making the formation of the product less favoured. As a result, the reaction is more likely to reverse and revert to the original reactants.

Q

describe a ketal.

A

two OR groups at the top, and two R groups at the bottom

17
Q

what does it mean if H3O+ is added to a reaction?

A

there is an acid catalyst in the reaction

18
Q

what is a commonality between acetals and ketals?

A

they have two OR groups attached to a chiral center

19
Q

what is the nucleophile in hydrate formation?

A

water

20
Q

what is the job of an acid in hydrate formation?

A

speed up water molecules combining to form hydrates

21
Q

describe a general hydrate formation reaction.

A

a molecule with a carbonyl turns into two hydroxyl groups

22
Q

what two things need to react in acetal formation?

A

aldehydes reacting with alcohol nucleophiles

23
Q

what is the intermediate in acetal formation?

A

hemiacetals

24
Q

describe an acetal formation reaction with an acid catalyst.

A

the carbonyl in a molecule turns into an OH and OR group as the intermediate then the final product is the carbonyl turning finally into two OR groups

25
Q

what is the intermediate in ketal formation reactions?

A

a hemi ketal

26
Q

describe a ketal formation reaction with an acid catalyst.

A

the carbonyl in a molecule turns into an OH and OR group as the intermediate then the final product is the carbonyl turning finally into two OR groups

27
Q

what is the product when an acetal is hydrolyzed with water?

A

an aldehyde

28
Q

what is the product when a ketal is hydrolyzed with water?

A

a ketone

29
Q

are the hemi forms of acetals and ketals stable?

A

no

30
Q

describe the general mechanism of a reaction with an oxygen nucleophile.

A

a carbonyl turning into two OR groups

31
Q

why are ketals and acetals commonly used as protecting groups?

A

because they are easy to add and take off by adding acid or water

32
Q

describe the general reaction of acetals and protecting groups.

A

one of the carbonyls in a molecule turns into two lone oxygens that are connected

33
Q

describe a general synthesis of hydrolysis of amines reaction with acid and MeNH2.

A

the carbonyl of a molecule turns into an NHCH3 and OH group as the intermediate then you are left with a single NHCH3 double-bonded group plus water

34
Q

describe a general imine formation reaction.

A

the carbonyl of a molecule turns into a double-bonded NR group plus water

35
Q

describe the general reaction of hydrolysis acetal reaction with acid and MeNH2.

A

the two lone oxygens bonded to the same carbon turn into a carbonyl

36
Q

describe a general imine hydrolysis reaction with HCl.

A

a molecule with a double-bonded NR group plus water turns into a carbonyl plus the R groups and HCl

37
Q

what are enamines formed from in terms of amines?

A

secondary amines
