What are the different ways to synthesize aldehydes and ketones
1. oxidation of alcohol, PCC, jones, MnO2 2.Ozonolysis 3. Markovnikov hydration of alkynes 4.Hydroboration of alkynes
polarization of carbonyl functional group
makes aldehydes and ketones have a higher boiling point, are also more miscible in water
there are three different regions of reactivity in aldehydes and ketones
the oxygen is attacked by electrophiles the carbon double bonded to the oxygen is attacked by nucleophiles
strong bases as nucelophiles
makes the reaction irreversible
acetalization
equlibrium reaction, thermodynamically driven driving forces: excess EtOH, remove H2O w drying agent
what is the difference between an acetal and an ether
you can do this with aldehydes and ketones but not acids or esters doing this with cyclic molecules gives you diols
what happens when you acetalize a diol
you get a cyclic acetal
what are the applications of acetalization
bugs - reeversible formation is important powerful pheromones used as protective groups in synthesis because they can formed reversibly
rules with bisulfite adduct reactions
must use cyclic ketone or aldehyde, doesn't work with acyclic ketones. used for extractions
ylide
a negatively charged carbon atom is attached to a positively charged heterotatom
bayer villager oxidation: migratory aptitudes
me< 1o <2o <3o
keto enol tautomerism
equalibrium strongly prefers keto over enol form but the enol form can be stabilized by H bonding and additional delocalization
dean-stark
technique removes water as an aziotrope
alkylation of enolates
if limiting amounts of MeI are used, a poly alkylation occurs. Doing an irreversible deprotonation means one final product and higher yield of said product
Problems with enolate equlibration
can react as a base and deprotonate the product
aldols
reactions are reversible
non enolizable aldehyde
an aldehyde with no alpha hydrogens (alpha hydrogens bond to alpha carbons- carbon bonded to functional group)
amides
amide bonds are quite stable, mroe stable than esters, acid chlorides and anhydrides but less stable than
alkylation
a great way to form a ketone
alodol condensation
useful because it combines two carbon carbon groups and leaves an aldehyde/ketone
formic acid
planar
carboxylic acids
the carboxyl group is polar, form dimer readily, lose hydrogens readily
addition-elimination reaction
eliminating the leaving group and replacing it with the nucleophile
tetrahedral intermediate
the first species formed after an addition - elimination reaction catalyzed by acid base the acid first protonates the carbonyl oxygen, the second protonation make the leaving group a better leaving group
