Q

What does attack of the alkenes refer to?

A

Like EAS, alkenes attack E+ but need less motivation so no super E+ is needed, and addition occurs where a pi bond becomes 2 new sigma bonds. Reverse of elimination!

Q

How to add a halogen and alcohol

A

Halo-hydration (X2, H2O), Anti, Mar; similar halogenation but done in weak Nu solvent, X is better Nu but there is so much water that H2O is added

Q

How to attack most stable in epoxide

A

Acid bc carbocation is formed

20
Q

How to break c-c bond

A

Cleaver*, ozonolysis

21
Q

How to make ozone

A

Ozonolysis, ozone breaks down molecules bc its super reactive, DMSO is stable, Malozonide (3 O right next to each other) intermediate is super unstable

22
Q

Difference in external and internal alkynes

A

External has a relatively acidic proton which is removed by strong bases. Both have 2 pi bonds to react

23
Q

How to make alkynes

A

Internal Br2 2 eq LDA
External Br2 3 eq LDA and H2O

24
Q

How to make geminal dibromide

A
25
Q

How to add 4 Br

A

Halogenation with alkenes (Br2)

26
Q

How to make a ketone

A

Alkyne hydration (H2O, Cat. H2SO4), enol tautomerizes keto aldehyde, water best nu and base

27
Q

Mercuration with alkyne

A

Cant do that

28
Q

Non markov add for aldehyde

A

(1)BH3 2) NaOH, HOOH) Makes aldehyde

29
Q

How to add H2 to alkyne

A

Hydrogenation, H2 with pd/c, lindlars, then Na and NH3

30
Q

How to break an alkyne

A

Cleaver (1) O3 2) SMe2, 3 bonds O each

31
Q

Practice oxidation here, what is it?

A

Look for H on home C, add more bonds to O (from H)

32
Q

Strong oxidizing agent on secondary

A

Jones (H2CrO4, H2O)

33
Q

Strong oxidizing agent with primary

A

Jones, needs OH group as enabler, water is best Nu

34
Q

Oxidize primary alcohol once

A

No water bc if there is any it makes a geminal diol (no second oxidation without water), PCC can only make ketones or aldehydes

35
Q

Reminders

A
36
Q

Add OH with multiple groups present

A

Tollens reagent, (Ag2(OH), NH4OH), reacts with double bonded O’s C

37
Q

Carbon connected to benzene reactivity

A

Benzylic resonance stabilized leads to more reactivity

38
Q

Add carboxylic acid to ring

A

Jones, good to bad group, changing activation group

39
Q

Complete the rxns

A
40
Q

Solve

A
41
Q

Add halogen next to carbonyl

A

Tetrahedral intermediate (SOCl2, cat. Py)

42
Q

Solve

A

No… OH, never use OH with LDA bc takes proton

43
Q

Solve

A
44
Q

How to form an ester, what happens if base present

A
45
Q

3 ways make this

A
46
Q

How many solutions

A

Usually 4 but 2 same, syn or ant make 2
