what acts as nuc for metal hydride reduction
H-
metal hydride reducing agents
NaBH4 or LiAlH4 / H2So4 or H20
NaBH4 reduces aldehydes to?
primary alc
NaBH4 reduces ketones to?
secondary alc
What do NaBH4 not react with?
carboxylic acids, esters, amides
borohydride reduction reagent
NaBH4, protic solvent
which reducing agent is more reactive
LiAlH4
what are LiAlH4 incompatible with?
protic solvents
LiAlH4 reduces aldehydes to?
primary alcs
LiAlH4 reduces carboxylic acids to?
primary alcs
LiAlH4 reduces esters to?
primary alcs
LiAlH4 reduces ketones to?
secondary alcs
what is the product of metal reduction on esters
2 alcs
what is the product of metal reduction on carboxylic acids
alc + H20
can u add Mg to a halide with an alpha sp2 center to turn it into a grignard
yes
what solvent to use with grignard
nonprotic
what do grignards react with
carbonyls
when do grignards act twice
when there is a LG
Grignard rule: look for tertiary alc, if have 2 of same alkyl group probably a grignard added twice to an ?
ester
grignard rule: if tertiary alc has 3 diff groups, grignard addition to unsymmetrical ?
ketone
Grignard rule: secondary alcs come from gignards and a ?
aldehyde
what don’t grignards react with
carboxylic acids
reagent for grignard rxn
1)RMgBr
2)H20 or H2SO4
what funct groups need protection
OH
