Concept explainers

Aldehydes and Ketones

Aldehydes and ketones are organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C = O, as their functional group. They both differ in the placement of this carbonyl group in their structures.

Some alcohols undergo rearrangement or other unwanted side reactions when they dehydrate in acid. Alcohols may be dehydrated under mildly basic conditions using phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) in pyridine. The alcohol reacts with phosphorus oxychloride much like it reacts with tosyl chloride, displacing a chloride ion from phosphorus to give an alkyl dichlorophosphate ester. The dichlorophosphate group is an outstanding leaving group. Pyridine reacts as a base with the dichlorophosphate ester to give an E2 elimination. Propose a mechanism for the dehydration of cyclohexanol by POCl3 in pyridine.
Wittig reactions with the following -chloroethers can be used for the synthesis of aldehydes and ketones. (a) Draw the structure of the triphenylphosphonium salt and Wittig reagent formed from each chloroether. (b) Draw the structural formula of the product formed by treating each Wittig reagent with cyclopentanone. Note that the functional group is an enol ether or, alternatively, a vinyl ether. (c) Draw the structural formula of the product formed on acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of each enol ether from part (b).
-Hydroxyketones and -hydroxyaldehydes are also oxidized by treatment with periodic acid. It is not the -hydroxyketone or aldehyde, however, that undergoes reaction with periodic acid, but the hydrate formed by addition of water to the carbonyl group of the -hydroxyketone or aldehyde. Write a mechanism for the oxidation of this -hydroxyaldehyde by HIO4.
When a primary alcohol is treated with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride at room temperature in the presence of an organic base such as pyridine, a tosylate is formed. When the same reaction is carried out at higher temperature, an alkyl chloride is often formed. Explain.

Esterification reactions, such as the one below, is a poor synthetic strategy as it leads to poor yields of the ester. What alternative could be done to produce more p-methylphenyl acetate? Replace the aromatic alcohol with a phenolate. Replace acetic acid with acetate. Replace the p-methylphenol with p-chlorotoluene. Replace acetic acid with acetyl chloride.
