Show how you would prepare of 4-methyl-3-heptanol, a sex pheromone of the European elm beetle, Scolytus multistriatus.
Addition of Amines - Formation of Imines • Treatment of an aldehyde or a ketone with a 1° amine affords an imine (also called a Schiffbase).
Reduction of Aldehydes and Ketones with sodium borohydride and Lithium aluminum hydride Hydrogen with a catalyst also reduces aldehydes and ketones to 1° and 2° alcohols respectively.
Oxidation Reactions • CrO3 in aqueous acid oxidizes aldehydes to carboxylic acids efficiently. Ketones are NOT oxidized. • Silver oxide, Ag2O, in aqueous ammonia (Tollens’ reagent)oxidizes aldehydes but not ketones. Precipitates as a silver mirror
