SNS - Organic Chemistry - DAT Destroyer Flashcards

















































Corey House Reaction
This is a good synthetic way to join two alkyl groups together.
R2CuLi + R’-X ⇔ R-R’ + R-Cu + LiX


OsO4 reacts with alkenes to 1,2-diols


Heat caused free radical formation
Free radical addition occurs at least substituted carrbon (bound to least other carbons) - anti-Markovnikov






Wolff Kishner
Reduction carbonyls to alkanes
NH2NH2 for hydrazone formation
















Normally Grignard reagents don’t react with ethers, but ethylene is a strained epoxide and will react
Epoxide ring is opened by Grignards and protonated to yield primary alcohol














Grignard
Leaving group either a halide or an alkoxide - in this case, a halide (Br)


















































Formation of Grignard Reagents


Esters can only be reduced by LiAlH4 NOT by the less reactive NaBH4




Condensation with an ammonia derivative








KCN = nucleophile
Aromatic rings readily undergo electrophilic but not nucleophilic substitution
Therefore no reaction








Organometallic compounds react with water (moisture).
It is a convenient way to reduce an alkyl halide to an alkane. (R-X →R-H)
The use of Grignards and deuterium oxide (D2O) is a useful way to
incorporate Deuterium into an organic molecule. (R-X → R-D)
