Chem 239 Reactions Flashcards
Oxidation of alcohols
weak: to ketone, PCC
strong: to COOH, KmnO4
Alkylbenzenes
to alkylate: R-Cl with AlCl3
To add carboxylic acid: KMnO4/H+
Grignard with Co2
Brominate benzene with Br2/FeBr3, remove Br with Mg, add CO2 and H3O+
Forms carboxylic acid
Acid chloride synthesis
SOCl2 or PCl5, COOH to COCl
Amide synthesis
Anhydride synthesis
Two carboxylic acids + heat
Decarboxylation reaction
Acid catalyzed esterification
carboxylic acid + R-OH-> Ester
Carboxylic acid reduction
Ester hydrolysis
RCOOR+H3O+->COOH
Lactonization
H+
Saponification
Ester-> carboxylic acid with carboxylate intermediate
Reagent: NaOH, then H+ workup
Acid catalyzed transesterificstion
Amide hydrolysis
H2O
amide> carboxylic acid
Acid chloride hydrolysis
H2O
acid chloride-> carboxylic acid
Ester reduction
LiAlH4
