Iverson C 0N KRE Table: For use in synthesis problems, count carbons in products and starting materials then identify location(s) of new s, especially C-C or C=C s. With that information, use the following KREs to determine which reactions are appropriate. KRE: A new C-C two carbons away from an - group indicates an organometallic reacting with an epoxide. KRE: A new C-C on the same carbon as a secondary - group indicates a Grignard reacting with an aldehyde. KRE: A new C-C on the same carbon as a tertiary - group indicates a Grignard reacting with a ketone. KRE: A new C-C on on a carboxylic acid in which one carbon atom was added indicates a Grignard reacting with C. KRE: A new C-C from a CN on the same carbon as an - group indicates CN reacting with a ketone or aldehyde. KRE: A new C-C from an alkyne on the same carbon as an - group indicates an alkyne anion reacting with a ketone or aldehyde. KRE: A new Z C=C indicates an alkyl Wittig reagent was used. New C=C KRE: A new E C=C indicates a Wittig reagent with a carbonyl adjacent to the negative charge (enolate Wittig) was used. E alkene KRE: An acetal where a carbonyl used to be indicates acetal formation with an alcohol. KRE: A five or sixmembered ring cyclic acetal where a carbonyl used to be indicates acetal formation with a two or three carbon diol. KRE: A five or six-membered ring cyclic hemiacetal indicates or -carbon hydroxyaldehyde starting material.

KRE: An imine indicates an aldehyde or ketone reacting with a primary amine or ammonia KRE: Ester group KRE: Amide group KRE: Two identical new C- C s on the same carbon as a tertiary - group indicates two equivalents of a Grignard reacting with an ester. KRE: A ketone with an new C-C adjacent to the carbonyl indicates an acid chloride reacting with a Gilman reagent. KRE: An,-unsaturated aldehyde with an E.Z mixture indicates an aldol reaction followed by dehydration in acid. KRE: This is an,-unsaturated aldehyde that indicates an aldol 6 reaction followed by dehydration. In this case the ring is formed because a 6-carbon dialdehyde is used. KRE: A -ketoester indicates a aisen reaction. KRE: This is a lactone (cyclic ester). The six-membered ring indicates a -carbon hydroxy acid starting material that undergoes Fischer esterification.

Notice that Dieckman reactions require.0 equivalent of base. KRE: This is a nucleophile linked to the -carbon of the amide. This is also a methyl ketone. Putting these together indicates a Michael reaction starting with acetoester KRE: Reaction of a nucleophile (-diketone) connected to the - carbon of a carbonyl (the ester) KRE: alkylated ketone deriving from either an enolate made with LDA or using an enamine KRE: A -diketone indicates reaction of an acid chloride with either an enolate made with LDA or using an enamine KRE: A methyl ketone with substitution at the -carbon indicates an acetoester synthesis. The second new C-C indicates a second alkylation with C Br KRE: A carboxylic acid with substitution at the -carbon indicates a malonic ester synthesis. KRE: This is a very tricky one. A symmetric ketone indicates a aisen reaction followed by ester hydrolysis and decarboxylation of the resulting - keto ester. 6 KRE: A new sixmembered ring with two new C-C s and an,-unsaturated ketone indicates a Robinson reaction.
