Negishi- organozinc
Heck- alkene

26
Q

What occurs in palladium catalyzed cross coupling reactions?

A

C with the special atom (Zn, Sn, B, C=C) will bond to the C with the halogen on the other reactant

27
Q

What is oxidation in organic chemistry?

A

Removal of H2

28
Q

What is reduction in organic chemistry?

A

Addition of H2

29
Q

What conditions are used to reduce aldehydes and ketones? What does it reduce?

A

H2, Pt (Pd, Ni, Ru) in ethanol. Reduced both C=O and C=C

30
Q

What compound do you use when you want to reduce the C=O but not the C=C?

A

Sodium borohydride. It delivers a hydride (H-) to the carbonyl group

31
Q

What is LAH? What is the benefit of using it? Dangers?

A

Lithium Aluminim Hydride, more reactive than NaBH4 but also delivers hydride to C=O. Must be carried out in cold conditions and reacts violently with H2O and ROH

32
Q

Can you replace any H in the sodium borohydride or LAH for duterium and get it in your product?

A

Yes, unless the deuterium is in CD3OH position in the ethanol solvent

33
Q

What are the conditions of carboxylic acid and ester reduction with LAH?

A

Reactant: carboxylic acid or ester
Conditions: 1. LAH, ether 2. H2O
Product: primary alcohol

34
Q

What are the conditions in grignard addition to epoxides?

A

Reactant: R-MgBr + epoxide
Conditions: 1. Ether 2. H3O+
Product: primary alcohol

35
Q

What are diols?

A

Molecules with 2 vicinal OH groups

36
Q

What occurs in hydroxylation? What are the conditions?

A

Reactant: alkene
Conditions: OsO4 (osmium tetroxide), tBuOH, tBuOOH, -OH
Product: diol

37
Q

What is the key intermediate in hydroxylation?

A

Osmate ester. When the O’s are added to the same face from the osmium tetroxide

38
Q

What are the reaction conditions of sulfonate esters?

A

Reactant: alcohol
Conditions: TsCl, pyridine
Product: Tazolate (OTs) group instead of OH

39
Q

Can tertiary alcohols be oxidized? Why or why not?

A

No, there is no H to pull off of the C that is bound to OH.

40
Q

What is the oxidizing agent in potassium dichromate? How does it get to this point?

A

K2Cr2O7. Chromic acid is the oxidizing agent after H2SO4 and H2O act on potassium dichromate

41
Q

Why does primary alcohol oxidation result in carboxylic acid instead of aldehyde?

A

Aldehydes are hydrated under acidic aq solutions which is used in oxidation so it goes straight to carboxylic acid

42
Q

How do you form an aldehyde from a primary alcohol?

A

Use anhydrous conditions. PCC and CH2Cl2

43
Q

What are three other oxidizing agents that act the same as potassium dichromate?

A

Na2Cr2O7, H2SO4, H2O
H2CrO4
CrO3, H3O+
