aldehyde
|
has a CHO formyl group
|
|
ketone
|
has two R groups attached to the C=O double bond.
|
|
What are the two definitions of oxidation reactions?
|
decrease of C-H bonds
increase of C-X binds |
|
What are the two definitions of reduction reactions?
|
increase of C-H bonds
decrease of C-X bonds |
|
What are the three types of reducing agents?
|
H2 with Pd catalyst
H+ and e- separately metal hydroxide reagents (LiAlH4 and NaBH4) |
|
What is the heat of hydrogenation used to measure?
|
the relative stability of the starting materials.
|
|
What is the stereochemistry of hydrogenation?
|
syn (it's on the Pd plate)
|
|
If you hydrogenate a chiral alkene, will you end up with enantiomers or diasteriomers?
|
diasteriomers
|
|
What are the two oxidizing agents?
|
O-O bonds
O-M bonds |
|
What is mCPBA
|
most common peroxiacid used in epoxidation
|
|
What is the stereochemistry of dihydroxylation?
|
syn or anti
|
|
What is special about ozonolysis?
|
it breaks pi bonds and sigma bonds
|
|
What are the pdcts of ozonolysis of alkenes?
|
aldehydes and ketones
|
|
What happens with ozonolysis of alkynes?
|
you get carboxylic acids (and CO2 in the case of terminal alkynes)
|
|
In oxidation of alcohols, why does PCC stop at aldehyde?
|
Because there is no water present to take it to a carboxylic acid.
|
|
What is the stereochemistry of epoxidation?
|
syn addition
|
|
What are the reactants used for anti dihydration?
|
1. peroxiacid
2. OH |
|
Mass Spec theory:
|
high energy electrons bombard sample causing it to break apart
|
|
what does an odd molecular weight mean in mass spec?
|
it means it has an odd number of N's
|
|
how do you you know if it has Cl in it?
|
peaks are 3;1
|
|
how do you know if it has Br in it?
|
peaks are 1:1
|
|
c=
|
wavelength times freq.
|
|
What energy states are explored in IR?
|
vibrational
|
|
C=O
|
1700
|
|
sp2 C-H
|
>3000
|
|
sp3 C-H
|
<3000
|
|
sp C-H
|
3100-3200
|
|
O-H
|
3200-3600
|
|
Why is OH broad on IR?
|
Because of H-bonding
|
|
What are the differences between C and H NMR's?
|
C has no splitting
it's less sensitive because it's less abundant you can tell the number of different carbons |
