Carbonyl Compounds Chap. 12 • Carbonyl Containing Compounds • Nucleophilic Addition Reactions • Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) Reactions • Reducing Agents • Oxidation of Alcohols • Organometallic (Grignard Reagents) Note: overview only
Carbonyl Compounds Source: http://www.cem.msu.edu/~reusch/VirtualText/crbacid1.htm
Redox Reactions • Oxidation: Loss of electrons • Increase Oxygen • Decrease Hydrogen • Reduction: Gain of electrons • Increase Hydrogen • Decrease Oxygen
Reducing Agents • LiAlH4 • Lithium Aluminum Hydride • Stronger reducing agent • Reduces all carbonyl groups to alcohols • NaBH4 • Sodium Borohydride • Weaker reducing agent • Reduces only ketones & aldehydes to alcohol • Work problem 12.1, Page 540
Oxidation of Alcohols • PCC • Primary alcohols to aldehydes • KMnO4 • Primary alcohols to carboxylic acids • H2CrO4 • Secondary alcohols to ketones
Oxidation of Alcohols (PCC) Primary alcohols to aldehydes
Oxidation of Alcohols (KMnO4) Primary alcohols to carboxylic acids
Oxidation of Alcohols (H2CrO4) Secondary alcohols to ketones
Chemical Test for 10 & 20 Alcohols Distinguishes primary and secondary alcohols from all functional groups except aldehydes Problem 12.3, Page 547 Problem 12.12, 12.17, Page 563
Organomagnesium Compounds • Discovered by the French chemist Victor Grignard in 1900 (Nobel Prize, 1912) • Now called Grignard Reagents • Formed from free radical reactions • Related to organolithium compounds • Create nucleophilic R-groups
