Lecture 5 Flashcards
What is order of bond weakness
Most weak = pi bond
Middle = L-C
Strongest = C=C
Acid anhydride
Consequence of L group
C=O group can be further polarised
- more electron withdrawing —> more reactive - attractive to Nu:-
Reactivity of L groups
AMIDE less reactiv e because
Preparation of reactive carboxyllic acid derivatives - ANHYDRIDES
Preparation of reactive carboxylic acid derivatives - ACID CHLORIDES
When a weak nucleophille (in nucleophillic acyl substitution with anhydrides) what happens
Deprotonation step after attack
Nucleophillic Acyl substitiurtion with reactive Acod derivatives - ANHYDRIDES
Nucleophillic acyl substitution won’t reactive acid derivatives - ACID CHLORIDE
unreatvice acid derivatives
- amides
- carboxyllic acids
- esters
WITH NEUTRAL NEUCLEOPJHILSS
Carboxylic acid reaction
Amide hydrolysis
Fats, oils, waxes and lipids
- naturally occurring substances that can be extracted from cells by non-polar solvents
Hydrolysis of fats
