alcohols and phenols- description to reagent Flashcards
deprotonates alcohol –> alkoxide
NaH
reacts w alcohol –> alkoxide ion + H2 gas
Na
a reducing agent. ketones/aldehydes –> alcohols
NaBH4, MeOH
strong reducing agent. ketones/ aldehydes, esters, or carboxy. acids –> alcohols
1) LiAlH4, 2) H3O+
reducing agent. usually alkenes/alkynes –> alkanes; sometimes ketones/aldehydes –> alcohols
H2, Pt
converts organohalide (RX) into Grignard (RMgX)
Mg
Grignard. aldehydes/ ketones –> alcohols (and esters when xs)
RMgX
alcohol –> alkyl Br or Cl
HX
converts alcohol into tosylate (bad to good LG)
TsCl, pyridine
1°/2° alcohol into alkyl bromide
PBr3
1°/2° alcohol –> alkyl chloride
SOCl2, pyridine
alcohol –> alkyl chloride
HCl, ZnCl2
strong oxidizing agent. 1° –> carboxylic acids; 2° –> ketones
Na2Cr2O7, H2SO4, H2O
mild oxidizing agent. 1° ROH –> aldehyde; 2° –> ketones
PCC, CH2Cl2
mild oxidizing agent. 1° ROH –> aldehyde; 2° –> ketones
DMP, CH2Cl2
