Study Notes
Organic Chemistry Reactions
Claisen Condensation
- Two molecules of an ester react to form a β-keto ester
- Example: CH₃CH₂COOCH₃ + CH₃CH₂OH → β-keto ester
Reduction of Acid Derivatives
- Reaction with LiAlH₄: R-C(=O)-OR → RCH₂OH + ROH
- Example: C₆H₅COOCH₃ + LiAlH₄ → C₆H₅CH₂OH + CH₃OH
Reduction of Acid Derivatives with Organometallic Reagents
- Reaction with R'-MgBr: R-C(=O)-Y → R-C(=O)-R' + Y-
- Example: C₆H₅COCH₃ + CH₃MgBr → C₆H₅C(CH₃)₂ + CH₃Br
Sulphur Nucleophiles
- Formation of thioacetals: R-C(=O) + RSH → R-C-SR
- Examples:
- CH₃C-H + H₃CCH₂SH₂ → CH₃C-SCH₂CH₃
- CH₃CH₂CH₂C-CH₃ + C₆H₅SH → CH₃CH₂CH₂C-SC₆H₅
Cross Aldol Condensation
- Reaction: O + 2 OH- → O
- Example: OH + 2 OH- → O
