Be sure that the parent chain includes the carbonyl carbon. For aldehydes, replace the e with an al. For ketones, replace the e with an one.

20.3 Preparing Aldehydes and Ketones
20 -7
What makes the carbonyl carbon a good electrophile?

1. RESONANCE: There is a minor but significant contributor that includes a formal 1+ charge on the carbonyl carbon.
What would the resonance hybrid look like for this carbonyl?
20 -8
What makes the carbonyl carbon a good electrophile?

2. INDUCTION: The carbonyl carbon is directly attached to a very electronegative oxygen atom. 3. STERICS: How does an sp2 carbon compare to an sp3?
20 -9
Consider the factors: resonance, induction, and sterics. Which should be MORE REACTIVE as an electrophile, aldehydes or ketones? Explain WHY.
20 -10
We want to analyze how nucleophiles attack carbonyls and why some nucleophiles react and others dont.
Example attack:
If the nucleophile is weak, or if the attacking nucleophile is a good leaving group, the reverse reaction will dominate.
Reverse reaction:
20 -11
Show the nucleophilic attack for other nucleophiles.

consider OH, CN, H, R, H2O. When the nucleophile attacks, is the resulting intermediate relatively stable or unstable? WHY? If a nucleophile is also a GOOD LEAVING GROUP, is it likely to react with a carbonyl? Explain WHY. Compare attack on a carbonyl with attack on an alkyl halide.
20 -12
If the nucleophile is strong AND NOT a good leaving group, then the full ADDITION will occur (Mechanism 20.1).
The intermediate carries a negative charge, so it will pick up a proton to become more stable.
20 -13
If the nucleophile is weak and reluctant to attack the carbonyl, HOW could we improve the electrophile? We can make the carbonyl more electrophilic:
Adding an acid will help. HOW?
Consider the factors that make it electrophilic in the first place (resonance, induction, and sterics).
20 -14
With a weak nucleophile, the presence of an acid will make the carbonyl more attractive to the nucleophile so the full ADDITION can occur (Mechanism 20.2).
Why is acid generally not used with strong nucleophiles?
20 -15
20.5 Water as a Nucleophile
Is water generally a strong or weak nucleophile?

Show a generic mechanism for water attacking an aldehyde or ketone.
Will the overall process be fast or slow? Will the overall process be product or reactant favored? Would the presence of an acid improve the reaction?
20 -16
Acetone
Formaldehyde
Hexafluoroacetone
How do the following factors affect the equilibria: entropy, induction, sterics?
20 -17
To avoid the unstable intermediate with two formal charges, the reaction can be catalyzed by a base (Mechanism 20.3).
How does the base increase the rate of reaction? Will it make the reaction more product-favored?
20 -18
The reaction can also be catalyzed by an acid (Mechanism 20.4).
How does the acid increase the rate of reaction? Will it make the reaction more product-favored?
20 -19
20.5 Acetals Formation

An alcohol acts as the nucleophile instead of water.
Notice that the reaction is under equilibrium and that it is acid catalyzed. Analyze the complete mechanism (Mechanism 20.5) on the next slide. Analyze how the acid allows the reaction to proceed through lower energy intermediates.
20 -20
20 -21
After the hemiacetal is protonated in Mechanism 20.5, the water leaving group leaves. Instead, you might imagine an INTERMOLECULAR collision that causes the water to leave.
Why is the INTERMOLECULAR step unlikely?

20 -22
5 and 6-membered cyclic acetals are generally product favored How do entropy, induction, sterics, and Le Chteliers principle affect the equilibrium? 20 -23
20.5 Acetals Equilibrium Control

Acetals can be attached and removed fairly easily.
Both the forward and reverse reactions are acid catalyzed. How does the presence of water affect which side the equilibrium will favor?
20 -24
20.5 Acetals Protecting Groups

We can use an acetal to selectively protect an aldehyde or ketone from reacting in the presence of other electrophiles. Fill in necessary reagents or intermediates.
20 -25
20.5 Acetals Protecting Groups

Fill in necessary reagents or intermediates.
20 -26
20.6 Primary Amine Nucleophiles

Are amines stronger or weaker nucleophiles than water?
If you want an amine to attack a carbonyl carbon, will a catalyst be necessary? Will an acid (H+) or a base (OH-) catalyst be most likely to work? WHY? What will the product most likely look like? Keep in mind that entropy disfavors processes in which two molecules combine to form one. Analyze the complete mechanism (Mechanism 20.6) on the next slide.
20 -27
20 -28
The mechanism requires an acid catalyst. Note that the optimal pH to achieve a fast reaction is around 4 or 5.
Why does the reaction slow down below pH 4? Why does the reaction slow down when the pH is greater than 5?
20 -29
20.6 Primary Amine Nucleophiles vs. Secondary Amine Nucleophiles

A proton transfer alleviates the +1 charge in both mechanisms. The difference occurs in the LAST step.
For 1 amines (Mechanism 20.6): the NITROGEN atom loses a proton directly. For 2 amines (Mechanism 20.7): a neighboring CARBON atom loses a proton.

20.7 Wolff-Kishner Reduction

Reduction of a carbonyl to an alkane:

20.8 Mechanism Strategies

Note the many similarities between the acid catalyzed mechanisms we have discussed:
Carbonyl is protonated first:
Makes the carbonyl more electrophilic Avoids negative formal charge on the intermediate
Avoid high energy intermediate with two formal charges Acid protonates leaving group so that it is stable and neutral upon leaving Last step of mechanism involves a proton transfer forming a neutral product
Overall: under acidic conditions, reaction species should either be neutral or have a +1 formal charge.

20.8 Mechanism Strategies Sulfur Nucleophiles

Under acidic conditions, thiols react nearly the same as alcohols. Examples:
20 -39
20.8 Mechanism Strategies Alternative to Wolff-Kishner

Conditions to convert a ketone into an alkane:
1. A thioacetal is formed via an acid catalyzed nucleophilic addition mechanism. 2. Raney Ni transfers H2 molecules to the thioacetal converting it into an alkane.
Recall the Clemmenson (Section 19.6) reduction can also be used to promote this conversion.
20 -40
20.9 Hydrogen Nucleophiles

To be a nucleophile, hydrogen must have a pair of electrons.
H:1- is called hydride
Reagents that produce hydride ions include LiAlH4 (LAH) and NaBH4. Hydrides will react readily with carbonyls.
20 -41
Identify the nucleophile.
Will the reaction be more effective under acidic or under basic conditions? WHY? Show a complete mechanism (Mechanism 20.9). Analyze the reversibility (or irreversibility )of each step. Describe necessary experimental conditions. Why are there two steps in the reaction?
20 -42
20.10 Carbon Nucleophiles
Carbon doesnt often act as a nucleophile. WHY? What ROLE does carbon most often play in mechanisms? To be a nucleophile, carbon must have a pair of electrons it can use to attract an electrophile:
1. A carbanion with a -1 charge and an available pair of electrons. However, carbanions are relatively unstable and reluctant to form. 2. A carbon attached to a very low electronegativity atom such as a Grignard.
20 -43
20.10 Grignard Example
Identify the nucleophile.

Will the reaction be more effective under acidic or under basic conditions? WHY? Show a complete mechanism (Mechanism 20.10). Three equivalents of the Grignard are necessary.

Like the Grignard and the cyanohydrin, the Wittig reaction can be very synthetically useful. What do these three reactions have in common?
Similar to the Grignard, one carbon is a nucleophile and the other is an electrophile.
20 -49
20.10 Wittig Reaction Wittig Reagent or Ylide

In general, carbons are not good at stabilizing a negative charge.
