Lecture 4: Imines and Acid&Base

, Chemistry of Acetals
1. Introduction to Carbonyl Group Chemistry:

• The C=O bond is referred to as the carbonyl group so the following are all
termed carbonyl compounds:
O O O O O
R' R'
R R R H R OH R O R N
H
Ketone Aldehyde Carboxylic Carboxylic Amide
acid ester
-
• Oxygen is more electronegative than O O O
+ and
carbon so the C=O bond is polarised:

• Hence carbonyl compounds typically undergo:
O O H
O OH OH

Nuc

Attack by nucleophiles at the electron- Reaction with electrophiles (including H 2
) at
deficient carbon atom the electron-rich oxygen atom

, Chemistry of Acetals
Mechanism:
O H R' O O R'
+ 2 R'OH + H2O
R R catalyst R R


• The mechanism involves 7 steps and takes place via a hemiacetal intermediate.

First part (hemiacetal formation):

H
O H OH OH
1 OH 2 3
R R
R R R O R' R
R R OR'
H
R'OH


1
Protonation of the C=O group on oxygen.
2 Nucleophilic attack by oxygen lone-pair electrons from the alcohol (1 st
molar eq.).
3 Loss of a proton gives a hemiacetal intermediate. 3
