Mom's Lecture

Introduction

• Today's lecture: Carboxylic Acid Reaction
• Method of Preparation: Carbonyl Compounds

Formation of Aldehyde and Ketone from Alcohol

• From 1° alcohol: Aldehyde is formed
• From 2° alcohol: Ketone is formed
• From 3° alcohol: No reaction
• Reagents: PCC, PDC, J&J, Cu + 830°C
• Use of MnO2: Only Aldehyde production

Reaction

• In properties of alcohol: Alcohol oxidation
• Formation of carbonyl from alkene: By breaking bonds
• Rosenmund Reductions: With H2
• Fehling's solution and Tollens' test: Confirmation of aldehyde

Crossed Wing Reaction

• Use of different reagents, 2 moles
• Major product: Most stable compound
• While making a table, note which is more reactive

Cannizzaro Reaction

• Reaction of aldehyde without alpha-hydrogen with 50% NaOH
• Cross Cannizzaro: Oxidation of one aldehyde and reduction of the other

Haloform Reaction

• Methyl ketone or another type of difference
• Reagents: Alkaline medium (NaOH), Iodine
• Process by changing methyl ketone into halogen
• Production: Haloform + and others

Exam-Oriented Questions and Answers

• Practice from different sets of questions
• Reagent-specific reactions
• Study of oxidation and reduction reactions

Summary Notes

• Note that most compounds can go through cross reactions
• Emphasis on redox and oxidation in equations
• Identification of nucleophilic addition reaction and their hydrolysis

Session Answers
