For the general reaction aA + bB -\> cC + dD, rate = k[A]^x[B]^y The values of x and y are almost never the same as the stoichiometric coefficients, the orders of a reaction must be determined experimentally
46
Mixed-order/broken-order reactions

47
law of mass action (determining Keq from concentration)
For a generic reversible reaction aA + bB ⇔ cC + dD, if the system is at equilibrium constant temperature Keq = [C]^c[D]^d / [A]^a[B]^b products over reactants Keq = (x)^2/1-x - if x amount of A has reacted and x amount of B and C have been produced, and 1 is the starting concentration - can be rounded so the denominator is simply the starting concentration (in this case 1)

136
Nucleophilic Substitutions SN2 description and rate determination and special considerations
Bimolecular, contain only one step rate of the reaction depends on both the concentration of the substrate and the nucleophile rate = k[R-L][Nu:] nucleophile must be strong and the substrate cannot be sterically hindered accompanied by an inversion of relative configuration, the position of the substituents around the substrate carbon will be inverted (R -\> S or vice versa)

Aldol condensation
An aldehyde or ketone acts as both an electrophile (in keto form) and a nucleophile (in enolate form), and the end result is a formation of a carbon-carbon bond from a beta carbon to an alpha carbon -requires a catalytic amount of base Aldol has a carbonyl and a hydroxyl group sharing a beta carbon -aldehyde and alcohol = aldol An example of a condensation reaction and a dehydration reaction because two molecules are joined with the loss of a small molecule
151
Retro-aldol reaction
reverse of aldol condensation, aqueous base (OH-) is added and heat is applied
152
Carboxylic Acid varying acidity
Groups like -NO2 or halides are electron withdrawing and increase acidity -Dicarboxylic acids are therefore more acidic than analogous monocarboxylic acids due --beta-dicarboxylic acids have high acidity of the alpha-carbon that they share, although not as high as the hydroxyl hydrogens Groups like -NH2 or -OCH3 are electron donating and decrease the acidity
153
Carboxyl Acid Synthesis
As described above, oxidation of aldehydes and primary alcohols with strong oxidizing agents ((N)Cr2O7, CrO3, KMnO4)
154
Nucleophilic acyl substitution of carboxylic acid
Nucleophile- can add to carboxylic acid and substitute for -OH while donating a proton Different than aldehydes or ketones because those participate in addition Weak bases (Conjugate bases of strong acids) make good leaving groups
155
carboxylic acid + amine
Amides - Carboxylic acids can be converted into amides with the addition of an amine in an acidic or basic solution - Amides that are cyclic are called lactams and replace -oic with -lactam
156
carboxylic acid + alcohol; nomeclature if product is cyclic
A reaction of carboxylic acids with alcohol under acidic conditions results in formation of an ester, with the R- of the ester replacing the -H of the carboxylic acid’s hydroxyl group - occurs most rapidly with primary alcohols - in acidic conditions Condensation reaction with water side product Esters that are cyclic are called lactones and replace -oic with -lactone
157
carboxylic acid + carboxylic acid
Anhydrides can be formed by the condensation of two carboxylic acids
158
Carboxylic acid reduction
Carboxylic acids can be reduced to primary alcohols by the use of LiALH4
159
Decarboxylation
beta-keto acids like 1,3-dicarboxylic acids may spontaneously decarboxylate when heated
160
Saponification
Long chain carboxylic acids reacted with sodium or potassium hydroxide to create a salt (H of the hydroxyl is replaced with Na or K) Know the product as soap
161
Carboxylic acid derivates
Amides, Esters and Anhydrides are all formed by a condensation reaction with a carboxylic acid
162
Amide synthesis
synthesized by reaction of other carboxylic acid derivatives with either ammonia or an amine
163
Ester synthesis
dehydration synthesis products of other carboxylic acid derivatives and alcohols
164
Fischer esterification
Under acidic conditions, mixtures of carboxylic acids and alcohols will condense into esters with the R replacing the H of the hydroxyl group
165
Anhydride synthesis
condensation dimers of carboxylic acids, wherein the oxygen of one carboxylic acids hydroxyl group bonds to the alpha carbon of another
166
Relative reactivity of carboxylic acid derivatives
Anhydrides are most reactive, followed by esters (tied with carboxylic acids although they usually have lower boiling points) and then amides
167
Strain in cyclic derivatives of carboxylic acids
certain times lactams and lactones are more reactive to hydrolysis because they contain more strain four membered rings have torsional strain from eclipsing interactions and angle strain from not having a 109.5\* angle
168
anhydride cleavage
Addition of a nucleophile to an anhydride results in carboxylic acid derivative and carboxylic acid -derivative depends on nucleophile; if amine the derivative is an amide
169
transesterification
Alcohols can act as nucleophiles and displace the esterifying group on an ester, transforming one alcohol for another
170
Amide hydrolysis
Amides can be hydrolyzed under highly acid conditions via nucleophilic substitution, replacing an -NH2 with a -OH from water
171
Strecker synthesis
generates an amino acid from an aldehyde An aldehyde is mixed with **ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) and potassium cyanide**. The ammonia attacks the carbonyl carbon, generating an **imine**. The imine is attacked by the cyanide, generating an **aminonitrile** The aminonitrile is hydrolyzed by two equivalents of water, generating an amino acid
172
Gabriel synthesis
generates an amino acid from **potassium phthalimide, diethyl bromomalonate, and an alkyl halide** phthalimide attacks the diethyl bromomalonate, generating a phthalimid-omalonic ester The phtalimidiomalongic ester attacks an alkyl halide, adding an alkyl group to the ester The product is hydrolyzed, creating phthalic acid and converting the esters into carboxylic acids One carboxylic acid of the resulting 1,3-dicarbonyl is removed by decarboxylation
173
IR spectroscopy; fingerprint area, hydroxyl area, carboxylic acid area, aldehyde/ketone area, amine
fingerprint region of 1500 to 400 cm-1 Hydroxyl group at 3300 for alcohols, 3000 for carboxylic acids with broad peak carbonyl at 1700 with sharp deep peak (aldehydes and ketones) NH bonds at 3300 with sharp peak
174
UV spectroscopy
never have to interpret but is obtained by passing light through a sample and recording the absorbance

178
Extractions
have an aqueous phase and a organic phase once the desired product has been isolated in the solvent, we can obtain the product alone by evaporating the solve, usually with a rotovap
179
Filtrations, gravity vs vacuum
isolates a solid (residue) from a liquid (filtrate) Gravity filtration is used when the product of interest is in the filtrate, hot solvent is used to maintain solubility Vacuum filtration is used when the product of interest is solid. A vacuum is connected to the flask to pull the solvent through more quickly
180
Distillations, simple vs vacuum vs fractional
separates liquids according to their boiling point Simple distillation if the boiling points are under 150C and are at least 25C apart Vacuum distillation if the boiling points are over 150C to prevent degradation of the product Fractional distillation if the boiling points are less than 25C apart because it allows more refined separation of liquids by boiling point
181
Chromatography general principle
Use two phases to separate compounds based on physical or chemical properties the stationary phase or adsorbent is a polar solid the mobile phase runs through the stationary phase and is usually a liquid or gas
182

186
Ion exchange, size exclusion, and affinity chromatography
Ion exchange chromatography the beads are coated with charged substance to bind compounds with opposite charge Size exclusion chromatography the beads have small pores which trap smaller compounds and allow larger compounds to travel through faster Affinity chromatography the column is made to have high affinity for a compound by coating the beads with a receptor or antibody
187
