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
