Q

Selective reduction of carboxylic acids to primary alcohol

A

BH3THF (Won’t touch ketone/aldehyde)

16
Q

General SnAc (Nucleophilic acyl substitution)

A
  1. Adn, Lone pair of nucleophile attacks carbon of carbonyl, pushes lone pair up onto oxygen
  2. Eb, lone pair of oxygen makes double bond, leaving group departs
17
Q

Acid catalysis of SnAc

A

1) Pt, lone pair on O takes H from H3O+
2) AdN, OH2 attacks carbonyl carbon, pushes lone pair onto oxygen
3) Pt, OH2 takes H from OH2 that just attached
4) Pt, Leaving group takes H from H3O+
5) Eb, lone pair from OH makes double bond, leaving group departs
6) Pt, OH2 takes H from OH

18
Q

SnAc under basic conditions

A

1) Adn, OH attacks carbonyl carbon, pushes lone pair onto oxygen
2) Eb, lone pair on oxygen makes double bond, expels leaving group
3) Pt, Leaving group takes H from OH
