from alkyl halides through Sn2 displacement with sulfur nucleophile such as SH- anion (works poorly unless excess SH is present due to competing Sn2 reaction with alkyl halide to give sulfide as by-product); using thiourea works better

Q

sulfide reactions

A

dialkyl sulfides react rapidly with primary halides by Sn2 to give sulfonium ions (R3S+) – which are useful alkylating agents because a nucleophile can attack one of groups bonded to positively charged sulfur to displace a neutral sulfide as leaving group……. oxidation of sulfide with H2O2 to yield sulfoxide (R2SO) with further oxidation of sulfoxide with peroxyacid yielding a sulfone (R2SO2) [ R-S-R –H2O2–> RSOR –CH3CO2H–> RSOOR]

87
Q

nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

105
Q

properties of carboxylic acids

A

carboxyl carbon is sp^2 hybridized… carboxylic groups are planar with C-C=O and O=C-O bond angles of approximately 120 degrees… are strongly associated due to hydrogen bonding… higher boiling points than corresponding alcohols… are acidic and react with bases to give metal carboxylate salts (RCO2- Metal+), with the salts being very water soluble and allows purification of acid (acid-base extractions)… more acidic than alcohols due to delocalization of negative charge over two equivalent oxygen atoms (ie– stabilized by resonance)

106
Q

henderson-hasselbalch equation

A

pH = pKa + log [A-]/[HA]

107
Q

substituent effects on acidity

A

more stabilization of carboxylate anion relative to undissociated carboxylic acid will drive equilibrium toward increased dissociation and increased acidity, with more electron-withdrawing atoms helping to delocalize negative charge… halogens closer to carboxylic acid increase acidity due to inductive effects operating through sigma bonds…. benzoic acids with deactivating groups are more acidic

converts the amide to a nitrile

136
Q

1) LiAlH4 / 2) H2O

A

conversion of nitriles into amines

137
Q

nitrile + grignard reagent

A

converts nitrile into a ketone

138
Q

spectroscopy of carboxylic acids

A

IR: OH bond of carboxyl group has broad absorption at 2500-3300 cm^-1 and C=O bond has absorption 1710-1760 cm^-1… NMR: acidic CO2H protons absorbs around 12 delta

139
Q

IR spectroscopy of nitriles

A

C-N bond absorption between 2230-2250 cm^-1

140
Q

acids with ortho substituents

A

generally the more acidic form of the acid

141
Q

carboxylic acid + excess NaOH, NaHCO3, NH3, or NH2R

A

forms conjugate base of the acid

142
Q

epoxide + grignard is classified as

A

SUBSTITUTION because only a sigma bond is formed and broken

143
Q

deprotonates carboxylic acids

A

NaOH or NH3 or RNH2 or NaHCO3

144
Q

naming carboxylic acids

A

find the longest carbon chain including the acid group and begin numbering from the acid carbon… drop the “e” from alkane and add “oic acid”… label substituents as normal and complete the name

145
Q

naming nitriles

A

circle and name the longest carbon chain containing the nitrile carbon… number from the nitrile carbon and name as alkanenitrile
