Q

In water does the reaction favor a carb acid or H3O+?

A

a new way to make carb acids

24
Q

What reagents can be used to reduce a carb acid to an alcohol?

A

LAH or BH3 . THF and grignard reagent

25
Q

Mechanism of the reduction of carb acid to an alcohol

A
  1. pt to create carboxylate
  2. Elimination to form aldehyde intermediate
  3. nuc attack by H-
  4. pt to create neutral product
26
Q

Derivatives of carb acids

A

molecules that look like carb acids but the OH group has been replaced with something else

27
Q

What are the 5 carb acid derivatives we have been introduced to?

A
  1. acid halide
  2. acid anhydride
  3. ester
  4. amide
  5. nitrile
28
Q

suffix for acid halide

29
Q

suffix for acid anhydride

A

-anhydride

30
Q

suffix for amide

A

-amide

31
Q

Suffix for nitriles

A

-onitrile

32
Q

Nucleophilic acyl substitution

A

nucleophilic attack on a carb acid derivative to replace good LG

33
Q

What is the intermediate of Nucleophilic Acyl substitution?

A

tetrahedral intermediate

34
Q

What charges can form in acidic conditions?

A

positive or overall neutral

35
Q

What charges can form in basic conditions?

A

negative or over all neutral

36
Q

True or False?

C- and H- make good leaving groups because they are good nucleophiles?

A

false, they rarely make good leaving groups

37
Q

Where are the three places an extra pt step can occur in nucleophilic acyl substitution?

A
  1. before nuc attack
  2. between nuc attack and LLG
  3. after LLG
38
Q

Why would a pt step occur before nuc attack in nucleophilic acyl substitution?

A

If the reagents are acidic

39
Q

Why would a pt step occur between LLG and nuc attack in nucleophilic acyl substitution?

A

if the LG needs to be protonated in order to leave

40
Q

Why would a pt step have to occur after LLG?

A

if the nucleophile was neutral and the final product needs to be neutralized

41
Q

How do you prepare an acid chloride

A

treatment of a carb acid with SOCl2

42
Q

Hydrolysis of acid halides/ anhydrides

A

acid halide/ anhydride + water = carb acid +HCl

43
Q

alcoholysis of acid halides/anhydrides

A

ROH and pyridine + acid halide/anhydride = ester

44
Q

`

Aminolysis of acid halides/ acid anhydrides

A

2 eq of NH3 + Acid halide/anhydride = amide

45
Q

Why is pyridine not used in aminolysis of acid anhydrides/halides?

A

Bc NH3 is strong enough to neutralized HCl on its own

46
Q

Reduction of acid halides/ acid anhydrides

A

acid halide/anhydride + LAH or grignard reagent = alcohol

47
Q

What does LiAl(OR)3H do?

A

in a reduction of a acid halide/anhyrdie with LAH it will stop it at the aldehyde intermediate

48
Q

What does the Gilman reagent/R2CuLi do?

A

in the reduction of an acid halide/acid anhydride with a grignard reagent it will stop it at the ketone intermediate
