7. Ester

8. Nucleophilic addition - Formation of alcohols The incoming nucleophile simply ‘pushes’ the electrons in the pi bond up to the oxygen. The oxygen acts as a base, abstracting a proton from a nearby acid group in the solvent ex: H 2 O Ketone Secondary alcohol R R

9. Carboxylic acids are REDUCED to primary alcohols H -, H 2 O CH 3 COOH + 2 [H]  CH 3 CH 2 OH Aldehydes are REDUCED to primary alcohols H -, H 2 O CH 3 CHO + 2 [H]  CH 3 CH 2 OH Ketones are REDUCED to secondary alcohols H -, H 2 O CH 3 COCH 3 + 2 [H]  CH 3 CHOHCH 3 Nucleophilic addition - Formation of alcohols with NaBH 4 or LiAlH 4

10. Nucleophilic addition - Formation of alcohols You need to know : The reducing agent (NaBH4 or LiAlH4) provides one H - which is nucleophilic while the solvent provides the second H The mechanism with curly arrows is not required
