Midterm 1 review Flashcards
what type of substituents do each the diene and dienophile have to create a higher yield
diene: electron donating subs
dienophile: electron withdrawing subs
what is the product of the dienophile having outwards groups
wedges
what is the product of the dienophile having inwards groups
dashes
what is the product of the diene having outwards groups
dashes
what is the product of the diene having inwards groups
wedges
which product of diels-alder is more common
ENDO
which isomer of the diene causes the reaction to go faster: cis or trans
cis, because trans subs interfere with the pi electrons approach
how do you make an acid from an alcohol
oxidization of a 1 alc
how do you make a ketone from an alcohol
oxidization of a 2 alc
how do you make an aldehyde from an alc
PCC with 1 alc
how do you make a carbonyl from an alkene
ozonolysis (O3, DCM and then DMS)
how do you make a carbonyl from an alkyne
hydration (H3O+ and Hg2+)
how do you make a carbonyl from an ester
reduction (DIBAL and H+)
how do you make a carbonyl from a nitrile
reduction (DIBAL and H+)
how do you make a carbonyl from an acyl halide
reduction (LAH then H+)
product of H type?
alcohol (1o or 2o depending on the starting carbonyl)
product of O type?
ketals or acetals
steps of adding and removing protecting groups?
add via H+ and the group, then do your reaction, then acid wash to remove the group
product of hydration of carbonyls?
geminal diol (two alcs)
in regards to electron deficiency, how do you get a faster reaction rate
a more electron deficient carbonyl = faster rate
what will make a carbonyl more electron deficient?
electron withdrawing subs
ie C(Cl)3
product of S type?
thioacetal to ketone or hydrocarbon
product of N type?
imine or enamine
how do you reduce a carbonyl to an alkane
clemmensen or wolff-kishner
product of C type?
cyanohydrin
product of grignard?
alcohol and a new CC bond
product of wittig?
new C=C bond
product of cannizzaro?
acid and alcohol (50/50)
