17
Q

How can you reverse an imine?

A

add excess H2O under acidic conditions

18
Q

How do you identify a hemiacetal molecule?

A

Look for carbon atoms that are bonded to two oxygen atoms. If one of the two oxygen atoms is part of an OH group, the molecule is a hemiacetal.

19
Q

How do you identify an acetal molecule?

A

Look for carbon atoms that are bonded to two oxygen atoms. If both of the oxygen atoms are part of OR groups, the molecule is an acetal.

20
Q

What is the first step in an acid-catalyzed reaction?

A

proton transfer from the acid-catalyst

21
Q

What is the first step in the hydrolysis of nitriles under basic conditions?

(reversing nitriles)

A

the base will dissociate into X+ and OH-, the OH- will attack the partitally positive carbon

22
Q

What is the product of this reaction?

A

Wolff-Kishner Reduction

NOT TESTED ON MECHANISM

23
Q

What types of nucleophiles prefer conjugate additon? (1,4)

A

Weak Nucleophiles

(HCN, CH2CH3SH, NaCN)

24
Q

What is the first step in a base-catalyzed reaction?

A

The base (-OH) takes a proton off of the weak nucleophile to make it a strong nucleophile

i.e. a proton transfer from the nucleophile to the base

25
Q

What is the product of the following reaction?

A

an enamine

26
Q

What is the product of the following reaction?

A

nitrile –> primary amide

27
Q

What is the product of the following reaction?

A

Aldol Reaction

OH attaches to beta Carbon
