organic 4 Flashcards
how do we form an enolate
we remove an alpha H and move e- to the carbonyl
what can we do with an enolate
we can use it to form bonds to other carbonyls!!!
is an enolate more reactive to a ketone or an aldehyde + why
an aldehyde!!
bc less inductive effect moving the e- towards the partially positive carbonyl
bc it only has 1 R group!!
what do end equivalents do
they help control the regioselectivity and reactivity of enolates and enols!!
what stops us from generating enols
if there’s no alpha protons to remove by the carbonyl
benzaldehyde + LDA reaction product and conditions
- 78*C
enolate but with Li bonded to the O!!!! and no negative charge
what is LDA
a strong and powerful base
kinda hindered so it helps us control the reaction
when
ketone is reacted with LDA,,, can we stop at the enolate
yessss
the reaction is rlly slow due to the low temp of -78*C!!!
what is LDA
lithium
di isopropylamide
N with 2 claw machine things and Li
describe the reaction between LDA and a ketone
Li-N bond attacks Alpha H
double bond attacks LI
u get an enolate type thing but with Li on the oxygen,, u still get the double bond aswell
LDA after reacting with a ketone isss
N claw claw H
bc u removed the Li but attacked the alpha H.
what does LDA attack
the least hindered alpha H
bc it’s a powerful but bulky base!!!
product of LDA a ketone and then the reaction with a carbonyl
Li- N attacks alpha H
double bond attacks Li
u get enolate but with Li on the neutral O.
u get H N claw claw as ur product
the Li enolate type thing then uses it’s lone pair and double bond to attack a carbonyl C.
the O will then be (+) bc it’s bonded twice to C and once to Li.
what is the lithium enolate called
lithium enolate
how does the powerpoint say lithium enols react
they say that the O -Li bond reforms the carbonyl
and that the double bond attacks the Carbonyl C
then the other Carbonyls double bond bonds with the Li.
this forms a little circle between the O’s and the Li.
this is then reacted with acid to get OH and a carbonyl on the original carbonyl.
ketone + TMS + Et3N
O bonded to TMS (single bond)
double bond between where the H was removed and the carbonyl
ketone + TMS + Et3N thermodynamic major product
most substituted double bond
ketone + TMS + LDA major kinetic product
TMS bonded to O (single bond)
double bond between the least hindered H that was removed and the carbonyl
LDA THINK LOW TEMP
