Ch. 17: Nucleophilic Addition Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones
808
The carbonyl group adds water or hydrogen halides to form a geminal diol or halohydrins, respectively
810
The carbonyl group adds an alcohol forming a hemiacetal and an acetal
817
Acetals and thioacetals are used as protecting groups for the carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones
821
Carbohydrates are polyhydroxyaldehydes and ketones
827
Hemiacetal isomers of carbohydrates can equilibrate
829
Acetal derivatives of carbohydrates can be prepared
831
Oligosaccharides are acetal derivatives formed by coupling two or more carbohydrate derivatives
832
A polysaccharide is hydrolyzed under acidic conditions
838
Organometallic compounds add to aldehydes and ketones to produce alcohols
840
Boron and aluminum hydrides provide a convenient source of hydride ion, which adds to the carbonyl group to generate an alcohol
846
Hydride ion in biological systems is provided by NADH or NADPH
848
In the laboratory NADH and enzymes can be used to reduce ketones enantioselectively
849
Aldehydes and ketones can be completely reduced using amalgamated zinc and acid
852
An aldehyde is readily oxidized to a carboxylic acid
853
Carbohydrates are oxidized to mono- and dicarboxylic acids, depending on the reagent used
856

Ch. 18: Addition-Elimination Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones
870
A primary amine reacts with an aldehyde or ketone to produce an imine, also called a Schiff base
872
Hydrazines and hydroxylamine convert carbonyl compounds to stable derivatives
874
Imines, hydrazones, and oximes can be hydrolyzed to regenerate the corresponding carbonyl compound
876
The Wolff-Kishner reaction combines hydrazine and base to convert a carbonyl to a methylene group
878
An imine is reduced by hydride ion to form an amine
879
Imines play an important role in structural biology, forming crosslinks that can stabilize proteins
881
An imine bond is important for transforming light energy into molecular motion and electrical impulses
884
Coenzymes are sometimes positioned within an enzyme active site by an imine linkage
889
Imine bond formation and hydrolysis play a significant role in amino acid metabolism
898
Phosphorous ylides are prepared from phosphonium salts
899
The Wittig reaction combines a phosphorous ylide with an aldehyde or ketone to produce an alkene
901
The Wittig reaction is not stereospecific
902
Alkoxy-substituted phosphorous ylides are used to prepare homologous aldehydes
903
Phosphonate ylides convert aldehydes and ketones to alkenes, too
907

Ch. 19: Addition-Elimination Reactions of Carboxylic Acids and derivatives

918
Reactions of Carboxylic acids are dominated by the presence of the proton
921
An ester can be made directly from a carboxylic acid under acidic conditions
924
A lactone is formed from a hydroxy acid under mildly acidic conditions
926
Formation of a tetrahedral intermediate dominates the reaction mechanisms of carboxylic acid derivatives
928
The reactivity of carboxylic acid derivatives varies according to the nature of the carbonyl substituent
929
An acid chloride is readily prepared from a carboxylic acid
931
Acid chlorides react with alcohols to form esters
932
In biological systems esters are made from thioesters
934
Anhydrides are reactive intermediates that can sometimes be formed by dehydrating carboxylic acids
936
An amide is readily prepared from an acid chloride
939
Hydrolysis of carboxylic acid derivatives occurs via an anionic tetrahedral intermediate under basic conditions
941
Hydrolysis of carboxylic acid derivatives occurs under acidic conditions via protonation of the carbonyl group
943
A tetrahedral intermediate is stabilized during the enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of proteins
948
Transesterification is the same process as hydrolysis except that the nucleophile is an alcohol rather than water
949
Polyesters are made by condensation rather than addition
953
A nitrile is a carboxylic acid derivative that lacks a carbonyl group
955
Carboxylic acid derivatives can react with organometallic reagents to form ketones
959
Carboxylic acid derivatives react with organometallic reagents to form alcohols
960
Hydride ion reduces a carboxylic acid and some of its derivatives to the corresponding alcohol
962
Some carboxylic acid derivatives can be reduced to aldehydes
963
Amides and nitriles can be reduced to amines
965
