Q

Why are the peaks located where they are?

A

This is because of bond strength, the stronger the bond strength the harder it is to pull, so higher the wavenumber

Q

What is obtained when aldehydes and ketones react with alcohols?

A

Hemiacetyle - the aldehyde hemiacetyle is favoured because there less steric hendrice (less bulkier) than a ketone hemiacetyle.

Q

Why is the carbonyl and organolithium reaction required in two steps?

A

Water will damage the organometallic/grignard reagent

20
Q

How are primary and secondary alcohols synthesised?

A

Aldehyde and organometallic reagent to produce primary alcohol or Aldehyde and grignard to produce secondary alcohols

21
Q

How are tertiary alcohols synthesised?

A

Ketone and organometallic reagent

22
Q

Give examples of functional groups that contain the C=O?

A 
Carboxylic acids 
Amides
Esters
Acid chloride
Acid anahydride
23
Q

What is the IR stretch of C=O in carboxylic acids and O-H stretch in carboxylic acids?

A

C=O 1710cm shifted by conjugation

O-H 3100cm (broad)

24
Q

What are the two peaks that acid anhydridres form and give reasoning to this?

A

1833 and 1767

Due to symmetrical and unsymmetrical stretching modes

25
Q

How can carboxylic be formed?

A

CO2 and grignard reagent - via nucleophilic addition and protonation using aqueous acid

26
Q

What is the firscher esterification reaction?

A

Craboxylic acid and alcohol to give water and ester

27
Q

What is the name of the reaction for fischer esterification?

A

Addition - elimination reaction

28
Q

How can you form an ester without breaking the C-O bond?

A

Using diazomethane to methylate the carboxylic acid and the carboxylic acid is then methylated to form the carboxylate anion whic via an Sn2 reaction will form an ester.

29
Q

What are the draw backs of using diazomethane?

A
  1. Toxic
  2. it only methylates acrboxylic acids
  3. Explosive
30
Q

What are the names of the reactions that occurs during methylation of carboxylic acid and formation of an ester?

A

Step 1- Deprotonation - a nucleophile and a methylating agent is formed
Step 2- Sn2 reaction to form an ester

31
Q

How many resonance forms does diazomethane have ?

A

3

32
Q

What is the process for obtaining amides from carboxylic acids?

A

Amine + carboxylic acid = ammonium salt

Ammonium salt + heat = Amide + H20

33
Q

What is the name of the second step in formation of amides from carboxylic acids?

A

Dehydration process

34
Q

How to form anhydrides from carboxylic acids?

A

Carboxylate anion + acid chloride = anhydride

35
Q

What reagent can be used to convert carboxylic acid to an acid chloride in formation of anydrides?

A

Thionyl chloride (SOCL2)

36
Q

What is the name of the reaction for converting COOH to Anhydride?

A

Addition - elimination?

37
Q

How do acyl groups defer from acids?

A

They have a good Cl leaving groups while acids have an OH group.

38
Q

Give examples of Acyl compounds?

A 
Esters
Acid chlorides 
Amides 
Anhydrides
Acid bromides
39
Q

What is the most important mechanism of acyl compounds?

A

Addition elimination reaction

40
Q

In addition elimination of acyl compounds, L is replaced but L can itself act as a nucleophile, therefore this is an equilibrium reaction. TRUE OR FALSE?

A

TRUE

41
Q

What are the physical properties of acyl compounds?

A

They can H bond and form dimers/ which gives them a high Bp

42
Q

Cl- are good leaving groups. True or False?

A

True

43
Q

With acid chloride reactions/ by product is always HCL. True or False?

A

True

44
Q

What do you get from reacting esters and organometallic reagents, with an addition elimination process?

A

Tertiary alcohols

45
Q

Esters and amides are more stable than aldehydes and due to greater resonance stabilization. True or False?

A

True
