TERM 1 What is the most acidic carbon on a carbonyl compound, except CA? DEFINITION 1 alpha hydrogen TERM 2 What does the removal of the alpha hydrogen give you? DEFINITION 2 Enolate ion TERM 3 Product of an enolate and a primary or methyl alkyl halide DEFINITION 3 ketone TERM 4 Why is LDA used to promote the enolate alkylation reaction? DEFINITION 4 It can pull off hydrogens, but it will not become a nucleophile. TERM 5 What is the complication with base promoted alpha-halogenation? DEFINITION 5 Multiple halogens are added because only adding one produces an even more acidic hydrogen. TERM 6 What happens in acid catalyzed alpha- halogenation? DEFINITION 6 a keto is tautomerized into the enol, and only one halogen is added It is the only reaction using an enol as the nucleophile TERM 7 What is the best nucleophile in a basic solution of aldehyde? DEFINITION 7 enolate TERM 8 What is the best nucleophile in an acidic solution of aldehydes? DEFINITION 8 Enol TERM 9 What is a better nucleophile? Enolate or Enol? DEFINITION 9 Enolate TERM 10 What is the haloform reaction? DEFINITION 10 Methyl ketone + NaOH + X2 -----> alkoxide ion and haloform (X3CH)
