What is Reduction? • Gain of hydrogen • Loss of oxygen reduced
Sect. 14.1 EPOXIDES anti-glycol formation
EPOXIDATION AND ANTI GLYCOL FORMATION First we will look at 1) the formation of epoxides, and 2) the opening of epoxides to form glycols generally “trans” anti epoxide glycol
Carboxylic Acid Hydrogen peroxide Organic Peroxide A PERACID
TWO COMMONLY-USED PERACIDS peracetic acid m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA)
EPOXIDATION WITH A PERACID A CONCERTED REACTION both bonds formed at the same time epoxide STEREOSPECIFIC

Ozonolysis FORMATION OF AN OZONIDE unstable HYDROLYSIS OF THE OZONIDE (WORKUP) aldehydes or ketones
WORKUP PROCEDURES FOR OZONOLYSIS Two types of workup (decomposition of the ozonide) are possible : 1. OXIDATIVE Hydrogen peroxide is present Aldehydes are oxidized to carboxylic acids. Formaldehyde is oxidized to carbon dioxide, which is lost as a gas. 2. REDUCTIVE Add Zn and H2O or H3O+ METHOD A Reduce the ozonide with Pd / H2 , and then add acid ( H3O+ ). METHOD B Aldehydes survive intact and are not oxidized with reductive conditions.
REDUCTIVE WORKUP OXIDATIVE WORKUP EXAMPLES O3 Zn / H2O OR O3 1) Pd/H2 • O3 2) H3O+ 2) H2O2 H3O+ + H2O
“At one time” = before spectroscopy. AT ONE TIME OZONOLYSIS WAS WIDELY USED FOR STRUCTURE PROOF BY DEGRADATION Broken apart ( or degraded ) to simpler pieces that are easier to identify. Unknown compound The original structure can be deduced by reassembling the pieces.
PROBLEM TO SOLVE 1) O3 / CH2Cl2 C7H12 2) H3O+ Pd / H2 C7H14 answer
oxidative workup WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE ? H2O2
ACETYLENES 1) O3, CH2Cl2 2) H3O+ KMnO4 or Oxidation of acetylenes, whether by KMnO4 or ozone, normally yields carboxylic acids.

REVIEW OF HYDROGENATION CATALYTIC HYDROGENATION IS COVERED IN SEVERAL PLACES IN THE TEXT, PRINCIPALLY: Ch3 Section 3.18 Hydrogenation of Alkenes Ch4 Section 4.13 Relative Stabilities of Alkenes Ch6 Section 6.12 Heat of Hydrogenation Section 6.13 Resonance Energy of Benzene Ch8 Section 8.11 Hydrogenation of the Double Bond Pages 723-725 (Addition to Triple Bonds) Ch 14 Section 14.4 Hydrogenation of Alkynes
Lindlar Catalyst: syn addition syn addition Lindlar is a special catalyst that allows the hydrogenation of an alkyne to stop after one mole of hydrogen is added. Most amines, and compounds containing sulfur, reduce the activity of catalysts or “poison” them. quinoline
Sect 14.6 Dissolving Metal Reduction anti This reaction proceeds with anti addition (trans compound). Catalytic reduction proceeds with syn addition, hence we have a choice of methods.
