Understanding Carbonyl Reactions with Carboxylic Acids vs. Ketones/Aldehydes, Quizzes of Organic Chemistry

Why carbonyl reform occurs in reactions with carboxylic acid derivatives but not with ketones or aldehydes. It covers the role of leaving groups, the conditions for nucleophile attack, and the behavior of nucleophiles towards carbonyl groups under acidic and basic conditions. The document also introduces the fischer esterification process.

TERM 1 Why can carbonyl reform in reactions with carboxylic acid derivatives, but not ketones/aldehydes? DEFINITION 1 There is a leaving group, leaving an opening for the pi bond to reform. TERM 2 In these reactions, why can a nucleophile attack while the leaving group leaves? DEFINITION 2 Sn2 reactions cannot occur at sp2 hybridized molecules. TERM 3 Once the carboxylic acid H is removed, can an nucleophile attack? DEFINITION 3 No. Almost all nucleophiles are repelled. TERM 4 Fischer Esterfication DEFINITION 4 Carboxylic Acid + Alcohol (Acid Conditions) -----> Ester and water Distillation drives reaction to the right TERM 5 What nucleophile can bond with carbonyl of CA under basic conditions? DEFINITION 5 Carbonyl carbon is unreactive as OH H is removed
