Q

Why are monosaccarides with a hemiacetal ring considered reducing sugars?

A

When the hemiacetal ring is in its open chain form as it switches between alpha/beta configurations, the aldehyde can be oxidized to carboxylic acid (oxidized aldose)

Aldoses can be oxidized, so they are considered reducing agents

So any monosaccharide with a hemiacetal ring is a reducing sugar

what is the geometry of the intermediate when a nucleophile (such as an amide) attacks a carbonyl?
tetrahedral- pi bond is broken and the pi electrons pushed onto oxygen if a good leaving group is present, the carbonyl will reform (but only if there's a good leaving group)
672
cyanide is: acidic nucelophile
both! triple bond/ electronegative N makes it acidic | deprotonation makes it nucleophilic
673
when nitrogen-containing derivative reacts with aldehyde or ketone, what reaction happens and what do you get?
nucleophilic substitution, you get an imine
674
when the alpha H is removed from aldehyde/ketone, what type of intermediate is formed?
``` enolate intermediate (negative charge on O, double bond between C=C below), which is resonance stabilized now follow up with acid (protonate) and you have an enol ```
675
are alpha H more acidic in ketones or aldehydes
aldehydes, because extra alkyl group of ketone is destabilizing (e- donating) for carbanion (remember, in carbocations alkyl groups are stabilizing, but here deprotonation gives carbanion, so negative charge will destabilize)
676
given a ketone with 2 different alkyl groups, which alpha hydrogen will be removed first?
alpha H of less substituted alpha C will be removed first because of less steric hinderance (kinetic product), but this is not as stable. favored by rapid, irreversible, low temp, sterically hindered base rxns eventually thermodynamic product will win out (more substituted alpha C). favored by high temp, slow rate, reversible, weaker bases
677
where is the double bond in in enamine vs imine
imine: N=C enamine: C=C
678
what is an aldol (hint: it's in the name)
contains ALDehyde and alcohOL aldol condensation: combining 2 ketones/aldehydes because one acts as electrophile (in keto form) while other acts as nucleophile (in enolate form after deprotonation by base)
679
when benzaldehyde is reacted with acetone, which will act as nucleophile
acetone will be nucleophile after addition of strong base (enolate ion), because benzaldehyde doesn't have an alpha proton to be abstracted (benzene ring with aldehyde group)
680
when ethanal is reacted with base, then acid, what do you get
ethanal + base = aldol (deprotonates), then acid stops the reaction --> get 3-hydroxybutanal *you're combining 2 ethanals in aldol condensation*
681
what kind of bond connects dimers
H bonding
682
``` which of these are e- donating groups? -NO2 halides -NH2 -OCH3 ```
- NH2 and -OCH3 are e-donating | - NO2 and halides are e-withdrawing
683
``` which cannot be oxidized to carboxylic acids: primary secondary tertiary alcohols? ```
secondary and tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidized to carboxylic acids because they already have at least 2 bonds to other carbons
684
esters are a combination of ___ and ____ and are formed under ___ conditions
carboxylic acid + ether in acidic conditions (O of carboxylic acid is protonated, enhances polarity of bond and makes carbonyl susceptible to nucleophilic attack) condensation rxn- water is leaving group
685
under what condition do carboxylic acids spontaneously decarboxylate
heat
686
what is the leaving group in reaction between carboxylic acid and amide?
water
