Ketone + LiAlH₄ =

Answer 9

Secondary alcohol

Question 10

What types of compounds can’t be oxidized to a carboxylic acid?

Answer 10

Tertiary alcohol

Question 11

What does a tosylate do?

Answer 11

it turns alcohol intoa better leaving group

Question 12

Jones oxidation

Answer 12

1˚ alcohol -> COOH

2˚ alcohol -> ketone

Question 13

Grignard reagent + aldehyde

what is it and what does it do when reacted w/ an aldehyde?

Answer 13

R-MgBr

It dissociates into a carbocation that will serve as the nucleophile.

When reacted with an aldehyde, You get a secondary alcohol

Question 14

Grignard reagent + ketone =

Answer 14

tertiary alcohol

Question 15

and how is it formed?

Answer 15

C=N

formed when aldehyde or ketone is reacted w/ ammonia

Question 16

1st step of base-catalyzed keto-enol tautomerization?

Answer 16

Acidity of the proton alpha to the carbonyl; formation of a carbanion

Question 17

Aldol additions

Answer 17

Enolate attacks a carbonyl carbon leading to a new C-C bond
