Quiz 5 Flashcards
What is the difference between enamine and imine formation?
Enamine formation is different in the last proton transfer step that creates the C=C bond of an enamine
LiAlH and NaBH4 are —- —
reducing agents
True or false?
LAH will not reduce carboxylic acids or esters
false, it is strong enough to react with them but NaBH4 is not
The grignard reagent is a — —-
reducing agent
What is necessary to react a carboxylic acid with a grignard reagent?
a blocking group on the acidic proton
Cyanohydrin
CN + OH attatched to the same carbon
Aldehydes + ketones reacted with HCN will yield a —-
cyanohydrin
Wittig Reaction
reduces a ketone to an alkene
C=O bond to C=C bond
How do you form the wittig reagent/ ylide?
P(Ph)3 + alkly halide
pt
- SN2 like process, akyl halide must be primary or secondary
Where does the carbon of the new C=C bond come from in the wittig reaction?
the akyl halide reacting to form the ylide
Bayer Village oxidation
peroxyacetic acid + ketone or aldehyde to form a ester
What is the preference for where the oxygen is moved to for the bayer village reaction?
H>3>2>ph>1> methyl
left: easiest to move right: hardest to move
What is the suffix for compounds with one carb acid?
-oic acid
What is the suffix for compounds with two carb acids?
-dioic acid
What is the suffix for carboyxlate ions?
-oate
Why do carb acids have high bps?
because they can form two hydrogen bonds between each other
In water does the reaction favor a carb acid or H3O+?
carb acid bc it is weaker than H3O+ and reactions favor moving away from the strongest acid
Do halogens stabilize or de stabilize a carb acid?
stabilize, bc they are ewg
alkyne + O3 and H3O+ =
2 carboxlyic acids
