Q

Base catalyzed enolization

A

OH-

22
Q

Malonic ester synthesis

A

Use NaOet and r-Br group of choice to turn a-carbon into nucleophile

23
Q

Acetoacidic ester synthesis

A

Use NaOet and r-Br

24
Q

Haloform reaction

A

excess X2, NaOH, , mild acidic workup

CHX3 formed, becomes leaving group

25
Q

Aldol condensation

A

Addition: NaOH, H2O
condensation: heat, creates alkene

26
Q

Intramolecular claisen

A

use NaOH

27
Q

Conjugate addition

A
28
Q

1,2/1,4 additions

A
29
Q

Michael addition

A

KOH, Alkene, H2O

OH deprotonates, carbanion attacks, H grabbed

30
Q

Robinson annulation

A

Start with Michael addition:
KOH, Alkene, H2O
OH deprotonates, carbanion attacks, H grabbed by alkene

Then: Base grabs a-hydrogen, intramolecular reaction, O- protonated and kicked off

31
Q

Gabriel synthesis

A

KOH

H2NNH2

32
Q

Reductive amination

A

H+, NaBH3CN

33
Q

Amines via reduction

A

Amide or nitrile-> amine using LiAlH4 and H3O+

34
Q

Hofmann elimination

A

R-NX3->alkene using Ag2O and heat

35
Q

EAS with arylamines

A

aniline + (CH3CO)2O/pyridine -> Acetanilide

36
Q

Nitrosations

A

No2 + HCl->N=O

N=O attacks NH2 on aryl amine

37
Q

Reactions with Aryl diazonium salt

A

Ph-NH2 w/ HNO2 and H+-> Ph-N=-N

38
Q

Mutarotation

A

Mechanism: H3O+ or OH- open hemiacetal, internal rotation of carbonyl, H3O+ or OH- closes hemiacetal

39
Q

Isomerization of aldoses/ketoses

A
40
Q

Glycosides

A

monosaccharides + alcohols in acid give cyclic acetals (one OH group->OCH3)
- to return to OH, use H3O+

41
Q

Ether and ester derivatives of carbohydrates

A
42
Q

Oxidation of carbs

A

Strong: HNO3 used, Turns first and last carbon to carboxylic acid
Weak: Br2, water, Turns CHO on top to carboxylic acid

43
Q

Reduction of carbs

A

NaBH4

turns top COH to CH2OH

44
Q

Epimerization

A

NaOH and H2O
