  3. O CH3CH2CH2CH Terminology • The reference atom is the carbonyl carbon. • Other carbons are designated , , , etc. on the basis of their position with respect to the carbonyl carbon. • Hydrogens take the same Greek letter as the carbon to which they are attached.   

  9. Esters • Hydrogens a to an ester carbonyl group are less acidic, pKa 24, than a of aldehydes and ketones, pKa 16-20. • The decreased acidity is due the decreased electron withdrawing ability of an ester carbonyl. • Electron delocalization decreases the positive character of the ester carbonyl group.

  10. O O C C R C OR' H H Esters • A proton on the carbon flanked by the two carbonyl groups is relatively acidic, easily and quantitatively removed by alkoxide ions.

  14. The Aldol Condensation

  15. O O – •• •• RCH2CH RCHCH OH HOH •• •• •• Some thoughts... + + • A basic solution contains comparable amounts of the aldehyde and its enolate. • Aldehydes undergo nucleophilic addition. • Enolate ions are nucleophiles. • What about nucleophilic addition of enolate to aldehyde? •• – pKa = 16-20 pKa = 16

  35. In order to effectively carry outa mixed aldol condensation: • need to minimize reaction possibilities • usually by choosing one component that cannot form an enolate

  36. O HCH Formaldehyde • formaldehyde cannot form an enolate • formaldehyde is extremely reactive toward nucleophilic addition

  40. Deprotonation of Aldehydes, Ketones, and Esters • Simple aldehydes, ketones, and esters (such as ethyl acetate) are not completely deprotonated, the enolate reacts with the original carbonyl, and Aldol or Claisen condensation occurs. • Are there bases strong enough to completely deprotonate simple carbonyls, giving enolates quantitatively?
