Keto and Enol isomers are example of _________ isomers | Constitutional
- Same formula, different connectivity |
What is the conversion between keto and enol forms called? | Tautomerization |
What do you need to convert keto -> enol under acidic conditions? | H3O+ |
What do you need to convert keto -> enolate under basic conditions? | A base (a pair of LP) |
The more _______ enol will predominate | Substituted |
Which is favoured: keto or enol? | Keto because of stability of C=O (favoured) vs C=C bond |
The enol is ________ and can be protonated from top and bottom | Achiral |
Which protons are acidic? | Hydrogens on the C next to a C=O
- Can be removed easily |
The lower the pka, the ______ acidic the p+ | More |
T/F: EDG destabilize negative charge | True |
T/F: EWG stabilize negative chare | True |
If we want to use enolates a nucleophiles, what do you need to do? | Quantitative deprotonation |
What is quantitative deprotonation? | Irreversible deprotonation by SB that converts all of the keto form to enolate form |
What are the most common bases to promote quan deprot? | LDA or LiHMDS
- Strong and reactive
Rxn carried out in anhydrous, aprotic solvents at low temps |
What is the product halogenation of enols/enolates? | Alpha-halogenated products |
What is the difference in basic halogenation conditions of enols/enolates? | Product is converted to enolate and is stable due to EWG |
__________ ketones can react until all alpha protons are replaced by halogen atoms | Methyl |
T/F: The CX3 anion is a good LG | True |
What is the rxn called in which CX3 is the product? | Haloform rxn |
