Q

Hydride: ketones reduced to…

A

secondary alcohol

17
Q

Speed of aldehyde vs ketone reduction?

A

aldehyde faster, less steric crowding, less sigma donation

18
Q

Most convenient hydride reagent?

A

NaBH4 - reduces aldehydes and ketone ONLY (mildest reagent for job)
Reactions often carried out in protic solvent so can be source of >1 hydride so less than 1 equivalent can be used

19
Q

In organometallic reagents c-metal bond is…

A

polarised towards carbon so carbon is a nucleophilic centre

20
Q

How do you prepare Grignard reagent?

A

see notes

21
Q

How do you prepare organolithium?

A

see notes

22
Q

R-metals…

A

are powerful carbon nucleophiles, attack carbonyl groups of aldehydes/ketones to make alcohols (and form new C-C bond!)
