Derivatives of Carboxylic Acids Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution
Preparation of Acid Anhydrides Directly from Acids • Good for acetic and 5- and 6-membered ring anhydrides
Preparation of Amides Directly from Acids (not generally useful, however, due to high temperature needed)
All have a Common Mechanism! 2-step Acyl Substitution: 1. Addition to C=O (to create a tetrahedral C) 2. Elimination of the best L to reform the C=O (gem diol-like intermediate; unstable w/r to reformation of the carbonyl group & displacement of the best leaving group)
Relative Reactivity Acid Chlorides > Acid Anhydrides > Thioesters > Esters > Acids > Amides (inversely related to basicity of leaving group)
Reactions of Acid Chlorides w/ R2CuLi or 2 w/ LiAlH(t-OBu)3 w/ LiAlH4
Reactions of Anhydrides ( low T) w/ LiAlH4 w/ Na2Fe(CO)4
Reactions of Esters ( low T) w/ DIBAH; LiAlH2(i-Bu)2 w/ LiAlH4

Reactions of Nitriles • The nitrile is an anhydride of an amide; the CN group is a polar group; nucleophiles add to the CN bond.
Thiol Esters (thioesters) • Intermediate in reactivity between anhydrides and esters...ideal for biological acylation reactions: stable to hydrolysis, yet reasonably reactive
