Q

What does Malonic ester synthesis do?

A

Uses a Malonic ester to synthesize Carboxylic acid and CO2
1-Deprotonate to form enolate
2-Alkylation via R-X
3-Hydrolysis and loss of CO2 (or more if it is bonded to that LG)

16
Q

What does adetoacetic ester synthesis do?

A

Makes methyl ketones

Steps are identical to Malonic ester synthesis

17
Q

What does Aldol reaction do?

A

Forms C-C bonds using aldehydes or ketones as starting material
1-Form Nu enolate
2-Nu addition
3-Protonation

18
Q

When can decarboxylation occur?

A

Whenever a carboxy group is bonded to the alpha carbon of another carbonyl group

19
Q

What do intramolecular Aldol reactions do?

A 
Form five and six member rings
1-Make enolate
2-Nu attacks
3-New C-C bond forms
4-H2O is lost and pi bond forms
20
Q

What does the Claisen reaction do?

A

Makes new C-C bonds between the alpha carbon and carbonyl carbon of two esters via substitution
1-Make enolate
2-Nu addition and loss of LG
3-deprotonation and protonation

21
Q

What will a 1,6 diester make if it reacts with itself via a Claisen reaction?

A

A five-member ring

22
Q

What does a Michael reaction do?

A

1,4 addition of enolate to beta carbon of alpha, beta unsaturated carbonyl system
1-Enolate forms
2-Enolate attacks BETA carbon
3-Alpha carbon is protonated

23
Q

What does the Robinson Annulation do?

A

Forms a six-member ring and three new C-C bonds
1-Michael reaction
2-the other enolate is formed
3-Nu attacks other carbonyl carbon to make ring
4-Beta oxygen gets protonated
5-dehydration and new pi bond forms between alpha and beta carbons (this step is irreversible)

24
Q

When using a diazonium salt what reagent is used to make phenol?

A

H2O

25
Q

A

CuCl

CuBr

26

When using a diazonium salt what reagent is used to make benzyl fluorides?

A

HBF4

27
Q

When using a diazonium salt what reagent is used to make benzyl iodides?

A

NaI or KI

28
Q

When using a diazonium salt what reagent is used to make benzene?

A

H3PO2

29
Q

When using a diazonium salt what reagent is used to make cyanobenzene?

A

CuCN

30
Q

How can you selectively make a primary amine?

A

Gabriel synthesis

31
Q

What are the steps of reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones?

A

Replaces C=O by C-H and C-N
1-Nu of NH3 on carbonyl group forming IMINE
2-Oxygen leaves
3-Nitrogen is deprotonated

32
Q

What does the Hoffman elimination do?

A

Converts an amine into a quaternary ammonium salt prior to beta elimination
1-make good LG (quat. Ammonium salt)
2-Use strong base to cause anti-periplanar E2 elimination

33
Q

Is the more substituted or less substituted pi bond formed in the Hoffman reaction and why?

A

LESS.

The sterics of the bulky N(CH3)3 prevent abstraction of the more hindered hydrogen
