DECARBOXYLATION OF b-KETOACIDS
HYDROLYSIS OF A b-KETOESTER GIVES A b-KETOACID Claisen Condensation b-Ketoester hydrolysis - CO2 Ketone … then, the b-ketoacid decarboxylates in acid b-Ketoacid
Decarboxylation of a b-Ketoacid 6-ring concerted step heat + acid enol tautomerization Carbon dioxide is easily lost since a nice 6-membered ring transition state can be formed for a concerted process. ketone
SYNTHESIS OF KETONES FROM b-KETOESTERS ALKYLATION / DECARBOXYLATION OF b-KETOESTERS
STEP ONE - MAKING THE b-KETOESTER ….. discussed earlier a b-ketoester Claisen condensation a different R group could be used here
STEP TWO - ALKYLATE THE b-KETOESTER a primary halide is best
STEP THREE - HYDROYSIS AND DECARBOXYLATION b-ketoester b-ketoacid this part will be the ketone b-ketoacids decarboxylate easily when heated in acid (see next slide) ketone
ALKYLATION CAN BE SKIPPED an unbranched ketone

HELL-VOLHARD-ZELINSKY a-BROMOACIDS AND a-BROMOESTERS
Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky Reaction 1) P, Br2 2) H3O+ a-bromoacid PBr3 H3O+ (workup step) Acid halides have a larger enol content than ketones. .. : Double bonds react with bromine! Resonance increases the electron density in the double bond. Enols are more reactive than alkenes.

REFORMATSKY REACTION A COUSIN TO THE GRIGNARD REACTION
Reformatsky Reaction Fischer Esterification or via the acid chloride a-bromoester Zn, ether 1) Reformatsky reagent 2) H3O+ Reacts like a Grignard reagent!
