Q

Rxns of Alcohols

A

As nucleophiles: (O donates e-)
As acids: (strongest) methyl> 1° > 2° >3° (weakest)

Q

Lactone Formation

A

Intramolecular esterification

21
Q

Ketone/Aldehyde Rxns

A

Via addition rxns
Very reactive because -H or -C don’t donate e- density
1. Nucleophile attacks carbonyl carbon
2.Carbon releases pi-bond e- to O
Acidic Conditions: O e- take H+ from acid, then Nuc attacks
Basic Condiions: Nuc attacks, O e- take H+ from H20

22
Q

Keto-enol tautomers

A

H hops to neighbor C, =O protonated
H O H OH H
| || | | |
R-C-C-C-H -> R-C=C-C-H
| | | |
H H H H

23
Q

Kinetic Enolate

A

Ketone in basic conditions, less substituted double bond, kinetically favored, less stable product

24
Q

Thermodynamic Enolate

A

Ketone in basic conditions, more substituted double bond, increases AE, more stable product

25
Q

Original amine has 0-1 R groups, C=N

26
Q

Enamine

A

Original amine has 2 R groups, C=C

27
Q

A

Saturated: no double bonds
Unsaturated: contains 1+ double bonds, decreased MP

46
Q

Nucleic Acids

A

P=O behaves like C=O

-OH on one nucleic acid creates anhydride with phosphate group of another (phosphodiester bond)

A

Nucleophilic substitution rxn
