physical properties
strong dipole
↑ BP
Nu acyl substitution
add Nu & protonate C=O → OH
SNu
Wnu
SNu acyl substitution
reagents
1. SNu
2. dil H+

WNu acyl substitution
reagents
1. H3O+
WNu (H2O, MeOH, EtOH)

chirality
rxm defined by Nu type
re-face
si-face
mostly attack both sides (racemic)
show both products
distinguish between faces

re-face
R config (CW)

si-face
S config (CCW)

carbon Nu addition
make OH group + other group
grignard
organolithium
alkyne
cyanonuclleophile (cyanohydrin)
corey-seebach
wittig rxn
grignard Nu addition
SN2
reagents: RMgBr, RMgCl, RMgI
limitation → no acidic proton

organolithium Nu addition
violent reaction, prefer grignard
reagents:
1. RLi
H+

alkyne Nu addition
reagents
1. SNu
ketone
dil H+

cyanonucleophile addition
cyanohydrin
reagents
HCN, NaCN, sodium salt catalyst (+C≡N)
sterics
cabonyl of aldehye not stabilized by hyperconjugation

corey-seebach
replace “H” in aldehyde only w/ E+
reagents
1. C3H2S2, AlCl3
2. BuLi, THF, 0°C
E+ (RX)
MgO, H2O

wittig reaction
add P(Ph)3 to RX group
reagents:
1. PPh3
BuLi or NaH

wittig mechanism

oxygen Nu addition
react w/ keton to get hydrate geminal diol
reagents: ketone, H2O, acid/base

hydrate geminal diol

hydrate formation
make hydrate geminal diol from ketone
basic
acidic
basic hydrate formation
reagents:
ketone
OH—
H2O

acidic hydrate formation
reagents
ketone
H3O+
excess H2O

hemiacetal formation
when Nu is ROH → hemiacetal
basic
acidic

basic hemiacetal formation
reagents
ketone
excess EtOH

acidic hemiacetal formation
reagents
ketone
excess EtOH2+

EtOH2 formation
under acidic condition
if excess ROH → rxn go forward → acetal

acetal formation
add geminal OMe groups
acetals are protecting groups for ketones & aldehydes

acetal example

nitrogen Nu
react w/ ketones & aldehydes to give imine/enamine
1° amine → imine
2° amine → enamine
imine formation
1° amines
reagents: R-NH2, H+
need alpha-H

imine mechanism

enamine formation
2° amines
reagents: R-NH, H+
E/Z often reverse this rxn

enamine mechanism

stork enamine reaction
reagents
