Alcohols are among the only nucleophiles that can undergo nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl of a carboxylic acid. ther, me basic nucleophiles fail because of one of the following reasons (1) (Under basic conditions with basic nucleophile) The nucleophile removes the acidic from the carboxylic acid, rendering its carbonyl virtually unreactive. (2) (Under acidic conditions with acid) A nucleophile that is also a good base will be protonated by the acid catalyst and consequently become non-nucleophilic 9. (heck your wk.)

Model 4: Acid alides (Alkanoyl alides) In Part A of this activity we discovered that the group of a carboxylic acid makes it impossible to transfm it directly into an amide.

Memization Task 24.6: Acid halides and esters consume two equivalents of When LiAl 4, a lithium reagent (-Li), a Grignard (-MgBr) is added to an acid halide ester it is nearly impossible to stop the reaction at the aldehyde/ketone (see dotted box).

This gives a high yield of the fully reduced alkoxide product instead of a mixture of alkoxide, aldehyde/ketone, and unreacted starting material. Unless otherwise noted, assume nucleophile is present in these reactions. To stop at the aldehyde a special reducing agent (such as DIBA) may be used. To stop at the ketone a lithium dialkyl cuprate reagent may be used. These reactions are summarized at the end of this activity. 17.

8 hemactivity 24: arboxylic Acids & Derivatives (heck your wk.) A cyclic ester is called a lactone. The reaction of the lactone in the third reaction on the previous page yields 4,5-dimethylhexane-1,5-diol. Draw this product, check your wk above, and devise a mechanism f this reaction (assuming the nucleophile is a 3 anion). Model 6: Acid Anhydrides Think of an acid anhydride as a less-reactive replacement f an acid halide. Acid anhydrides are often used in place of acid halides when a slower, me controlled reaction is necessary. The name acid anhydride refers to the fact that you can generate a symmetrical acid anhydride by heating a pure sample of the cresponding carboxylic acid while removing the water that is produced ( anhydride means without water ). An easier way to generate an acid anhydride is to mix an acid halide with a carboxylate anion, as shown below. a carboxylate ion ' l acid chlide ' acid anhydride ritical Thinking Questions 20.

An attempt to generate a carboxylic acid from an ester under basic conditions leads to a carboxylate, as shown in Synthetic Transfmation 24.4 below. (ote that the carboxylate can be easily protonated in a second step to give the desired carboxylic acid.) This reaction is called saponification f the Latin wd f soap (saponis) because this reaction is used in the making of soap from fats (which are long-chain esters).

The Big Picture In principle, carboxylic acids, esters, and amides can be interconverted by manipulating Le háelier s principle (as long as you avoid the complications caused by deprotonation of a carboxylic acid). ot all of these transfmations are presented as official Synthetic Transfmations because some are not often used in synthesis. F example, you can change an ester into an amide by treating it with amine and catalyst, and you can even do the opposite with sufficient time and heat. owever, in practice it often makes sense in terms of time and overall yield to accomplish most carboxylic-acid-derivative syntheses by first making an activated carbonyl compound, either an acid halide acid anhydride. opyright oughton Mifflin arcourt ompany.

16 hemactivity 24: arboxylic Acids & Derivatives 449 ommon Points of onfusion It seems so simple, but many students fget that carboxylic acids are acidic! This gives rise to the following problems and resolutions 3 ucleophilic addition to a carboxylic acid carbonyl group is impossible when the nucleophile is also a good base. (uc acts as a base and removes the acidic + instead.) carboxylic acid YES 3 methoxide ion (good nucleophile & strong base) 3 3 To solve this problem we must use a nucleophile that is a very weak base. F example, use methanol ( 3 ) instead of methoxide ion ( 3 ). owever, since methanol is a weak nucleophile, we must activate the carbonyl with an acid catalyst to make the carbonyl carbon a better electrophile. emember that hydroysis of an ester amide in basic conditions leads to a carboxylate (not a carboxylic acid). Students often fget that use of LiAl 4, lithium, Grignard reagent with an acid halide, acid anhydride ester will result in incpation of two molar equivalents of nucleophile in the product; whereas lithium dialkyl cuprates will deliver only one equivalent (except to esters). This is a consequence of the fact that lithium dialkyl cuprates do T react with aldehydes, ketones, esters. eduction of an ester ( 2 ) with a hydride reagent (e.g., LiAl 4 ) leads to an alcohol (), not an ether ( ) as some students assume. The source of this misconception appears to be the fact that reduction of a carboxylic acid amide with this same reagent appears to imply that the reagent turns a = into a 2. The mechanism of the ester reduction reveals that the group is lost as a leaving group. (This is one of the rare instances of functioning as a leaving group). The carbonyl oxygen remains and becomes the alcohol oxygen of the product. See TQ 17. Synthetic transfmations on test and quizzes often do not specify how much of a particular reagent is added. In such situations you are to assume that the appropriate amount is added. That is, if the reagent is a catalyst that is required only in trace amounts, then assume there is a trace amount (even if it doesn t say trace amount next to the reagent). onversely, if reagent is necessary to effect a reasonable reaction it may not say next to the reagent, but you are to assume reagent is present. The exception to this rule is when 1 equivalent of a reagent gives a very different product than multiple equivalents. In such instances (such as the addition of 1 molar equivalent of a bulky Grignard to an ester at low temperature) the number of molar equivalents of reagent will likely be specified. ing opening of lactones (cyclic ester) and lactams (cyclic amides) really belongs in the previous activity (but there were already too many long mechanisms there, so they are presented here). The key err that students make in answering questions (especially multiple-choice questions) is to assume that the ring oxygen of a lactone remains attached to the carbonyl carbon in a resulting ester carboxylic acid. This misconception is often tested using an 18 -labeled oxygen as in Exercise 24. The best way to answer such questions is to quickly sketch the mechanism of the reaction. opyright oughton Mifflin arcourt ompany. All rights reserved.
