Prelim Exam 3: Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives; Carbonyl Alpha Substitution Reactions; Carbonyl Condensation Reactions; Amines (Chem 322 - Organic Chemistry) Flashcards
(241 cards)
acid halide (RCOX) nomenclature
identify first acyl group then halide… suffix “oyl” (or “carbonyl” for cyclic acid halides)… “alkanoyl halide” or “cycloalkanecarbonyl halide”
acid anhydrides (RCO2COR’) nomenclature
symmetrical anhydrides of unsubstituted monocarboxylic acids and cyclic anhydrides of dicarboxylic acids are named with ending “anhydride”… unsymmetrical anhydrides are named by listing two acids alphabetically then adding “anhydride”… “alkanoic anhydride” or “alkanoic alkanoic anhydride”
esters (RCO2R’) nomenclature
identify alkyl group attached to oxygen and then carboxylic acid with “ate” suffix… “alkyl alkanoate”
amides (RCONH2) nomenclature
“amide” suffix or “carboxamide” suffix (for cyclic compounds)… if nitrogen atom is further substituted, compound is named by identifying substituent groups then parent amide: substituents are preceded by letter “N” to identify them as being attached to nitrogen… “alkanamide” or “cycloalkanecarboxamide” or “N-alkylalkanamide”
thioesters (RCOSR’) nomenclature
prefix “thio” if a common related ester name… suffix “thioate” or “carbothioate”… “alkyl alkanethioate” or “alkyl cycloalkanecarbothioate”
acyl phosphates (RCO2PO3 2- and RCO2PO3R’-) nomenclature
cite the acyl groups and add the word “phosphate”… “alkoyl phosphate”
nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions
net effect: substitution of nucleophile for -Y group originally bonded to acyl carbon… takes place in two steps and involves a tetrahedral intermediate
relative reactivity of carboxylic acid derivatives
sterically, unhindered/accessible carbonyl groups react with nucleophiles more readily than do sterically hindered groups… electronically, strongly polarized acyl compounds react more readily than less polar ones
nomenclature of amides with competing substituents
alphabetize substituents… di, tri, tetra if more than one substituent… N-substituents come before numerical-substituents
conversion of carboxylic acids into acid chlorides
nucleophilic acyl substitution using SOCl2
conversion of carboxylic acids into acid anhydrides
using heat
conversion of carboxylic acids into esters
SN2 reaction of carboxylate anion with primary alkyl halides
Fischer esterification reaction
acid-catalyzed (strong acid like HCl) nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction of a carboxylic acid with alcohol
conversion of carboxylic acids into amides
use DCC (dicyclohexylcarbodimide)
conversion of carboxylic acid into alcohols
using 1) LiAlH4 / 2) H3O+ or 1) BH3, THF / 2) H3O+
preparation of acid halides
conversion of a carboxylic acid using SOCl2
acyl substitution – basic conditions
using NaOEt, HOEt… occurs through addition and elimination
acyl substitution – acidic conditions
(Fischer esterification reaction) using H3O+… occurs through protonation -> addition -> deprotonation -> protonation -> elimination -> deprotonation
preparation of acid anhydrides
nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction of acid chloride with carboxylate anion
conversion of an acid chloride into an carboxylic acid
hydrolysis – using H2O
conversion of an acid chloride into an acid anhydride
using R’CO2-
conversion of an acid chloride into an ester
alcoholysis… using R’OH
conversion of an acid chloride into an amide
aminolysis… using NH3
conversion of an acid chloride into a ketone
reduction/grignard reaction… using R’2CuLi
