#1
Front (Question)

What are the steps of reactions of carbonyls with H2O?

Back (Answer)

• LP on O attacks C in C=O • e- moves to O (O-) • proton transfer = hydrate (minor)

#2
Front (Question)

How to determine which one is the major or minor product:

Back (Answer)

The closer the actual angle is to the wanted angle

#3
Front (Question)

What are the steps in reactions of carbonyls with R-OH?

Back (Answer)

• LP on O attack C in C=O (Cat HA) • loss of H+ • addition of H+ • R-OH reacts again = product with 2ROs (4 species)

#4
Front (Question)

What is the na,e of the product if R1 is an alkyl?

Back (Answer)

Hemiketal

#5
Front (Question)

What is the name of the product if R1 is an H?

Back (Answer)

Hemiacetal

#6
Front (Question)

What happens when there is an OH in the same chain as the carbonyl?

Back (Answer)

Forms a ring cyclic hemi acetal - LP on OH attacks C on C=O - e- moves to O, breaks db

#7
Front (Question)

What are the steps in reactions of carbonyls with amines?

Back (Answer)

• LP on N attack C on C=O • e- move to O (O-) • proton transfer = hemi aminal • addition of H+ (Cat HA) • LP ON N forms db • e- moves to H2O (kicked out) • loss of H+ = imine

#8
Front (Question)

What is the name of a positive imine?

Back (Answer)

Iminium (keto)

#9
Front (Question)

What is the name of an imine with another db?

Back (Answer)

Enamine (enol)
