Q

How does a primary alcohol oxidise to a carboxylic acid (final oxidation state)?

A

First it is oxidised to an aldehyde, then a water molecule is added which forms a hydrate (two OH), then the hydrate is oxidised to form the carboxylic acid

16
Q

What type of reaction is synaddition, what does this mean?

A

Sn2

there will be an inversion of stereochemistry

17
Q

What are the issues with using Osmium Tetroxide?

A

Rare
Expensive
Sublimes straight to gas

18
Q

What are the issues with using Osmium Tetroxide for oxidation of alkene?

A

Rare
Expensive
Sublimes straight to gas

19
Q

What happens when osmium tetroxide is used for oxidation of alkene?

A

C-O bonds are formed in syn addition

Forms cyclic osmate ester through hydrolysis of the ester

20
Q

What is the product when you use osmium tetroxide to oxidise an alkene?

A

syn-1,2-diol

21
Q

What issues can Os (VI) cause?

A

Reduced to a metal so it forms a metal sheen across the eyeball if it comes close

22
Q

What type of osmium is needed for the catalytic version of oxidation of the alkene?

A

Only catalytic OsO4 is needed

23
Q

In the catalytic version using osmium tetroxide, what is the oxidising agent?

A

NMO

24
Q

In the catalytic version, what oxidation happens inside of the reaction?

A

Oxidation of Os (VI) back to Os (VIII)

25
Q

When using ozone to oxidise alkenes, what do you need to avoid using?

A

Oxidising agent as O3 is susceptible to oxidation

26
Q

When ozone is used to oxidise alkenes, which bond is formed?

A

C=O formed from C=C

27
Q

When ozone is used to oxidise alkenes, which bonds of the alkene are cleaved?

A

Pi and sigma bonds

28
Q

When ozone is used to oxidise alkenes, what reducing agent is used?

A

Dimelthylsulfide

29
Q

What is the product of oxidisation with ozone?

A

Aldehydes

30
Q

When ozone reacts with the alkene, what type of reaction is it?

A

concerted

as pi bond broken at the same time as its added

31
Q

When ozone reacts with the alkene, what type of addition is it?

A

Syn

32
Q

What cyclic product can be formed from ozone reacting with the alkene?

A

Ozonide

33
Q

What is formed when Me2S reacts with the cyclic ozonide?

A

It generates Me2SO and also 2 aldehydes

34
Q

Because Me2S is a mild reducing agent, what does it prevent?

A

Prevent the reduction of RCHO to alcohol and prevents the oxidation of RCHO to acid

35
Q

When oxidising alkenes with ozone, how do you make an alcohol your product instead of an aldehyde?

A

Use a stronger reducing agent

NaBH4

36
Q

When oxidising alkenes with ozone, how do you make an acid your product instead of an aldehyde?

A

Use an oxidising agent

H2O2
