epoxide + H2O and H+ (H2SO4)
beta diol
how do you make a beta diol from an epoxide?
add H2O and acid (H2SO4)
nucleophile attacks more substituted
epoxide + HX
beta halohydrin X-C-C-OH
how do you make a halohydrin from an epoxide?
add HX
epoxide + 1) -OR 2)H2O
alkoxyalcohol C-O-C-C-OH
how do you make an alkoxyalcohol from an epoxide?
1) -OR
2) H2O
how do you make an alkynyl alcohol from an epoxide?
1)RCtripleC- 2)H2O Sn2 reaction -> CtripleC-C-C-OH
epoxide + 1)RCtripleC- 2)H2O
alkynyl alcohol CtripleC-C-C-OH
how do you make a beta diol from an epoxide?
1)OH- 2)H2O sn2 OH-C-C-OH
nucleophile attacks less substituted C
What do you get when you add 1)OH- 2)H2O to an epoxide?
beta diol
epoxide + strong nucleophile (-OH, -OR, -CN, -SR, NH3) + H20
nucleophile attacks less substituted C, H2O protonates the O Nu-C-C-OH
nucleophile attacks from the back
epoxide with acid (HCl, HBr, H2O + acid, ROH + acid)
1)protonation of epoxide O to make good leaving group
2) nucleophile Z- opens ring by backside attack
nucleophilic attack occurs at more substituted C
alcohol + HX
RX + H2O
secondary and tertiary, Sn1 + rearrangement
primary, Sn2
How do you make an RX from an alcohol?
add HX
alcohol + SOCl2 in pyridine
R-Cl Sn2 with primary and secondary ROH
doesn’t work with tertiary
how do you get an Sn2 reaction with a primary alcohol to form an RX?
add SOCl2 in pyridine
How do you make an alkoxide salt?
ROH + NaH -> RO- Na+ + H2
How do you make an ether?
haloalkane + RO- sn2 reaction
haloalkane + RO-
ether
alcohol + strong acid (H2SO4)
alkene
secondary and tertiary alcohol->E1 rearrangement
primary, E2
