TermDefinition
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+

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
