EXAM 2 Flashcards
to produce diol what reactants should you use
OsO4 and NaHSO3
what does OsO4 do
breaks double bond and adds oxygens of OsO4 to same side
what does NaHSO3 do
makes same sided oxygens into same sided alcohols
what do [H] and H3O+ do?
breaks double bonded oxygen, adds H to O to yield alcohol, adds another H
what reactants should you use to partially reduce carboxylic acid?
NaBH4 and EtOH
what reactants should you use to fully reduce carboxylic acid?
LiAlH4 and Et2O
what reactant should you use to reduce carboxylic acid and add R group?
RMgX
what reactants does not react with ester?
NaBH4
what reactants should you use to reduce ester?
Et2O and LiAlH4
what reactants should you use to make alcohol out of aldehydes and ketones?
LiAlH4, NaBH4, RMgX
what does LiAlH4 and H3O+ do?
breaks double bond of carboxylic acid and adds H
what are common Rs?
alkyl, aryl, methyl alkene (no idea what it actually is)
what is different about a Grignard reactant?
it still reduces but adds an R group instead of an H
what does CH3MgBr and H3O+ do to reactant containing alcohol?
takes H from OH leaving O- on carbon chain with other products of CH4 and MgBr+
what does CH3MgBr and H3O+ do to
breaks double bonded oxygen to yield OH, breaks off other oxygen, adds 2 methyls (see pic) and another reactant of CH3OH (reacts twice!!)
what reactant should you use to replace tertiary alcohol?
HCl/HBr
what reactant should you use to replace primary/secondary alcohol?
SOCl2/PBr3
what reactants should you use for oxidation?
CrO3 or Dess Martin pyridine
what reactant should you use to oxidize to carboxylic acid?
CrO3
what reactant should you use to oxidize to aldehyde?
dess martin
what yields from oxidizing a primary alcohol?
yields either carboxylic acid or aldehyde
what yields from oxidizing a tertiary alcohol?
no reaction
what is stronger between CrO3 and Dess Martin?
CrO3
what happens when you react CrO3 with a primary alcohol?
2 step process that yields carboxylic acid
what happens when you reacts CrO3 with secondary alcohol?
removes both Hs, turns single bond O to double bond
what happens when you react dess Martin and pyridine with primary alcohol?
yields aldehyde
what happens when you react dess Martin and pyridine with secondary alcohol
removes both Hs, turns single bond O to double bond
what reactants do you use for WilliamSon ether synthesis?
NaH and THF
what is the simplified rxn for WilliamSon ether synthesis?
ROH + R’X —> R-O-R’ + HX
in WilliamSon ether synthesis, which reactant is most hindered?
ROH (3º>2º>1º)
