Objectives Chapter 19 Brown Foote & Iverson 4th ed. Enolate Anions

Read Chapter 19.1-19.4,19.6, 19.7. Study Key reactions 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8,& 9 (Pg. 766-768)

1. Be able to give the structure of the compound, which would result when an aldehyde or ketone reacted another molecule to form an aldol condensation product. Under either basic or acidic conditions

2. Be able to draw the structure of the product which would result, when an aldol product were heated to dehydration.

3. Be able to show why a mixed aldol condensations with two different aldehydes are often undesirable (too many combinations)

4. Be able to show how an enolate anion can be formed when an aldehyde or ketone is reacted with lithium diisopropylamide, LDA.

5. Show how conditions can be controlled to produce different enolate anions: Excess LDA, and you get the least substituted anion.(kinetics controls product formation); excess aldehyde or ketone and you get the most highly substituted and stable enolate anion (thermodynamics controls product formation)

6. Show how a performed enolate anion can be used to make a directed aldol (mixed aldol) product.

7. Show how an ester, with alpha hydrogens, can form an anion and condense with itself when reacted with strong base (Claisen Condensation)

8. Be able to give the mechanism of the Claisen condensation

9. Be able to show the product which would result when a B-ketoester, (product of a Claisen condensation), is hydrolyzed and decarboxylated (Loss of CO2)

10. Be able to do the following problems in Chapter 19  19.1 (pg734),19.2 (pg735), 19.3 (pg 736),19.4 (pg 740), 19.10 (pg 752)19.12, (pg757) A the end of chapter 19: 18,. 19, 21, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35
