Ketones, Aldehydes CH21 PS CLASS
Recall the many times we’ve synthesized these! I command thee. Oxidation of R-OH – (Periodinane, CrO 3 /Na 2 Cr 2 O 7 ) Hydration of Alkynes (keto-enol tautomerism) – H 3 O+/HgSO 4, BH 3 /H 2 O 2, OH-, etc… Friedel-Crafts ACYLation of Aromatics – (acid halide + AlCl 3 )
REACTIONS OF ALDEHYDES/KETONES Oxidation of Aldehydes Nucleophilic Additions (overview) – Hydride (H-) and Grignard (R-) as Nucleophiles – Water addition (hydrate/diol/geminal diol formation) – Alcohol addition (acetal formation) – Amine addition (imine formation) Conjugate Nucleophilic Addition Reactions
Major Synthesis
Oxidation of Aldehydes Where [O] = CrO 3 among others.
Nucleophilic Addition Rxns Slightly different mechanisms in acid or base. Neutral vs. Negatively charged Nucleophile General picture (basic):
Reactivity Notes: Less steric hindrance with aldehyde Benzaldehyde less reactive due to resonance stabilization.
Reduction of Ketones/Aldehydes
Addition of Grignard Reagent
Grignard Reagents + carbonyls
Practice! COME UP WITH PAIRS, More than one answer for some.
Practice!
Hydrate formation/ Geminal Diols
Basic vs. Acidic BASIC: Strong nucleophile attacks, as in Nu- ACIDIC: Carbonyl is converted to a stronger ELECTROPHILE as CABON BECOMES MORE POSITIVE.
Problem
Acetal formation ACID CATALYZED… AGAIN, CARBONYL MADE INTO BETTER ELECTROPHILE.
Acetal Formation
2 alcohols/ 1 diol can be used to ‘protect’ an aldehyde or ketone from a reaction.
Nuc. Addition of Amines to form: Imines Amine must have 2 protons, RNH 2
If amine is 2° we form enamines
Practice addition of amines:

Problems
Wittig reaction, addition of R: - to C=O forming C=C Limits of SN2???
Addition of ylides
Exercises
Conjugate Nucleophilic Addition Rxns
THE DOUBLE BOND IS EFFECTIVELY “POLARIZED” INTO A NEGATIVE REGION THAT’S RESONANCE STABILIZED, AND A POSITIVE REGION AT THE BETA-CARBON.
