#1
Front (Question)

Steps to forming an ester when the carbonyl is very reactive (acyl chloride)

Back (Answer)

• LP on O attacks C on C=O on OH • e- move to O (O-) • e- move to kick Cl out + loss of proton = ester

#2
Front (Question)

Steps to making an ester with a carbonyl that isn’t very reactive (alcohol)

Back (Answer)

• use Cat HA to add proton • LP on O attacks C on C=O • e- move to O • proton transfer to other OH • LP on O moves to +ve O • loss of proton = ester

#3
Front (Question)

Steps to making an amide with a very reactive carbonyl (acyl chloride)

Back (Answer)

• LP on N attacks C on C=O • e- moves to O (O-) • e- moves to kick Cl out • loss of proton = amide

#4
Front (Question)

What forms when an alcohol reacts with amine?

Back (Answer)

Doesn’t form the amide - forms a salt

#5
Front (Question)

How does nature make anide bonds from COOH?

Back (Answer)

It uses atp - LP on N attacks C on C=O - e- moves to O, moves back to form db - kicks out phosphate group

#6
Front (Question)

Steps to the hydrolysis of an ester in acidic conditions

Back (Answer)

• protenated ester • LP on O (H2O) attacks C=O • e- moves to +ve O • proton transfer • LP on OH moves to kick acl group Reversible

#7
Front (Question)

Steps to the hydrolysis of ester in basic conditions

Back (Answer)

• LP on OH attacks C on C=O • e- moves to O (O-) • e- moves to kick out OR • H in the COOH transfers to OR Not reversible

#8
Front (Question)

Steps to the hydrolysis of an amide in acidic conditions

Back (Answer)

• protenated amide • LP on O (H2O) attacks C on C=O • e- moves to +ve O • proton transfer to NH2 • LP on OH kicks out NH3+ • loss of proton = COOH Not reversible

#9
Front (Question)

Steps to the hydrolysis of an amide in basic conditions

Back (Answer)

• LP on OH attacks C on C=O • e- moves to O • e- moves to kick out NH2 (Slow as poor LG) • COOH • loss of proton
