Q

What does a Grignard reagent do? How?

A

Turns a carbonyl (ketone or aldehyde) into an alcohol.
The Grignard Reagent acts like nucleophile and attacks the carbonyl, shifting the double bond to a lone pair on the oxygen. The alkoxide ion is protonated (H added) from water creating an alcohol. A new C-C bond is formed.

Q

What are the steps for a nucleophilic addition under basic conditions?

A

Nucleophilic Attack followed by Proton Transfer

  1. nucleophile attacks the Carbon of the carbonyl.
  2. electrons in double bond migrate to Oxygen becoming a lone pair
  3. Proton transfer: lone pair on Oxygen attacks the hydrogen on water
  4. OH created and nucleophile stays attached to Carbon

What are the steps for the Hydrolysis of acetals?

A
  1. protonation of one carbonyl from H3O
  2. 1 R–OH is ejected, creating C=O with remaining oxygen
  3. Nucleophilic attack of C=O by water, oxonium attaches
  4. Water deprotonates oxonium creating OH
  5. protonation of hemiacetal H3O creating good leaving group
  6. lone pair from OH migrates creating C=O, R–OH is ejected

22
Q

What are the three criteria that must be for a nucleophilic aromatic substitution to occur?

A
  1. The ring must contain a powerful electron-withdrawing group (typically a nitro group).
  2. The ring must contain a leaving group (usually a halide).
  3. The leaving group must be either ortho or para to the electron-withdrawing group. If the leaving group is meta to the nitro group, the reaction is not observed.
