|
carboxylic acid derivatives
|
acyl halides- replace -OH with -X
anhydrides- replace -OH with -OCOR amides- replace -OH with -NH2 esters- replace -OH with -OR |
|
reactivity of carboxylic acid derivatives
|
acyl halides > anhydrides > esters > amides
|
|
acyl halide nomenclature
|
aka acid or alkonoyl halides
remove "-ic acid" from alkanoic acid and add "-yl halide" |
|
synthesis of acyl halides
|
most common is acyl chlorides
RCOOH + SOCl2 = RCOCl PCl3, PCl5, or PBr3 also work |
|
Nu acyl sub rxns on acyl chloride
|
1. hydrolysis
-Nu-water -product-carboxylic acid and HCl 2. ester conversion -Nu-alcohols -product-ester and HCl 3. amide conversion -Nu-amines or ammonia -product- amide and ammonium chloride |
|
Friedel-Crafts Acylation
|
attach acyl groups to aromatic rings using an acyl chloride and AlCl3
|
|
reduction of acyl halides
|
reagent: H2, Pd/BaSO4, quinoline
product: aldehyde |
|
anhydride nomenclature
|
aka acid anhydride
RCOOCOR substitute "anhydride" for "acid" |
|
acetic anhydride
|
ethanoic anhydride
|
|
synthesis of anhydrides
|
acyl chloride + carboxylate salt
some cyclic anhydrides can be formed by heating carboxylic acids |
|
hydrolysis of anhydrides
|
Nu-water
product- 2 carboxylic acids |
|
anhydride conversion to amide
|
Nu- ammonia
product- amide and ammonium salt (made from the side carboxylic acid product) |
|
anhydride conversion to ester
|
Nu- alcohol
products: ester and carboxylic acid |
|
acylation of anhydrides
|
Friedel-Crafts acylation
anhydride + aromatic = alkyl aryl ketone and carboxylate anion |
|
Amide nomenclature
|
RCONR2
replace "-oic acid" with "-amide" any subs on the nitrogen are listed as prefixes, location is N |
|
synthesis of amides
|
primary or secondary amines with acyl chloride
ammonia with anhydride |
|
hydrolysis of amides
|
acidic conditions
Nu-water products- carboxylic acid basic conditions Nu-OH product: carboxylates |
|
Hofmann Rearrangement of amides
|
amides are converted to primary amines
reagent: BrO- products: primary amine, CO2, Br- |
|
reduction of amides
|
reagent: lithium aluminum hydride
product: amine No C lost. |
|
ester nomenclature
|
alkyl alkanoate
aryl alkanoate |
|
synthesis of esters
|
acidic conditions
carboxylic acid + alcohol = ester and water acyl chlorides or anhydrides can also be used phenolic esters need a base catalyst |
|
hydrolysis of esters
|
acidic conditions
H3O+ + ester = carboxylic acid and alcohol Nu- water basic conditions OH + ester = carboxylic acid and alcohol Nu-OH |
|
triacylglycerols
|
fats, esters of long-chain carboxylic acids (fatty acids) and glycerol
|
|
saponification
|
fats are hydrolyzed under basic conditions to produce soap
|
|
conversion of esters to amides
|
Nu- ammonia
product- amide and alcohol |
|
transesterification
|
transform one ester into another
a different alcohol attacks the carbonyl C, displacing the original alkoxy group |
|
Grignard Addition
|
Grignard reagents (RMgX)
2 equivalents can be added to an ester to get a tertiary alcohol Nu sub, then Nu addition |
|
Claisen condensation of esters
|
basic conditions
2 mol ester react to produce a beta-keto ester or acetoacetic ester enolate ion of one ester acts as a Nu and attacks the second ester. analogous to aldol condensation |
|
reduction of esters
|
reagent: lithium aluminum hydride
product: two different alcohols |
|
phosphate esters
|
derivative of phosphoric acid, R groups attached to O to make esters
|
|
phospholipids
|
glycerol with two fatty acids and one phosphoric acid attached.
found in living systems, main component of cell membranes, part of nucleic acids. part of ATP |
