Q

what is the mechanism for grignard?

A

step 1: R group from RMgX attacks carbonyl, which then break C=O bond
step 2: the negatively charged oxygen attacks H from H3O+ to form major product

16
Q

what does reduction do to aldehyde

A

reduces C=O to C-O and adds H to primary C, making it primary alcohol

17
Q

what happens to carbons during reduction reaction

A

number of carbons stays the same

18
Q

what happens during cyanohydrin reaction

A

HCN reacts with ketone/aldehyde and forms OH and a substituent of C triple bond N

19
Q

what happens during reduction of carboxylic acid

A

using LiAlH4 the O is reduced and two Hs form

20
Q

what occurs during acid base reaction with carboxylic acids

A

H2O is formed as side product and OH is reduced to O- with Na+ on side

21
Q

what happens during carboxylic reaction with SOCl2

A

OH is replaced with Cl

22
Q

fisher esterification

A

acid with alcohol and HCl pushing the reaction to form H2O as side product and ester

23
Q

preparation of nitriles

A

alkyl halide with NaCN forms a C triple bond N nitrile

24
Q

reaction of nitrile (acid-catalyzed)

A

nitrile reacts with H3O+ to form carboxylic acid

25
Q

reaction of nitriles (base-catalyzed0

A

nitrile reacts with OH- to form R-C-(O-)=O and then H3o reacts to form carboxylic acid

26
Q

nitriles with grignard reagent

A

form C=O with two R groups

27
Q

what does nitrile hydrolysis do?

A

forms carboxylic acid by using alkyl halide to react with NaCN to replace Br with CN and H3o+ reacts to form COOH
