Aldehydes Can React with Alcohols to Form Hemiacetals 340 14 . Nucleophilic substitution at C=O with loss of carbonyl oxygen You have, in fact, already met some reactions in which the carbonyl oxygen atom can be lost, but you probably didn’t notice at the time. The equilibrium between an aldehyde or ketone and its hydrate (p. 000) is one such reaction. O HO OH H2O + R1 R2 R1 R2 When the hydrate reverts to starting materials, either of its two oxygen atoms must leave: one OPh came from the water and one from the carbonyl group, so 50% of the time the oxygen atom that belonged to the carbonyl group will be lost. Usually, this is of no consequence, but it can be useful. O For example, in 1968 some chemists studying the reactions that take place inside mass spectrometers needed to label the carbonyl oxygen atom of this ketone with the isotope 18 O. 16 18 By stirring the ‘normal’ O compound with a large excess of isotopically labelled water, H 2 O, for a few hours in the presence of a drop of acid they were able to make the required labelled com- í In Chapter 13 we saw this way of pound.

We 18 also saw that the position of an equilibrium is controlled by mass action— O is in large excess. equilibrium can be altered by using a OPh OPh OPh large excess of one of the reagents. This is often called a mass action effect . OH O OH 18 OH2 18 H OH2 OPh OPh OPh OH2 18 O 18 OH 18 OH We need now to discuss hemiacetals though you may well wonder why – they retain the carbonyl oxygen and they are unstable. We need to discuss them as a preliminary to the much more important acetals. Hemiacetals are halfway to acetals. Aldehydes can react with alcohols to form hemiacetals When acetaldehyde is dissolved in methanol, a reaction takes place: we know this because the IR spectrum of the mixture shows that a new compound has been formed. However, isolating the prod- uct is impossible: it decomposes back to acetaldehyde and methanol. IR: O MeOH no peak in carbonyl O region 1600–1800 attempt to purify + MeOH Me H strong OH stretch Me H 3000–3500 The product is in fact a hemiacetal. Like hydrates, most hemiacetals are unstable with respect to their parent aldehydes and alcohols: for example, the equilibrium constant for reaction of acetalde- hyde with simple alcohols is about 0.5 as we saw in Chapter 13. MeO OH O K = ~0.5 MeO OH + MeOH Me H Me H Me H hemiacetal aldehyde hemiacetal Aldehydes can react with alcohols to form hemiacetals 341 This equilibrium constant K is defined as [hemiacetal] K = [aldehyde][MeOH] So by making [MeOH] very large (using it as the solvent, for example) we can turn most of the í aldehyde into the hemiacetal. However, if we try and purify the hemiacetal by removing the These are more ‘mass action’ effects methanol, more hemiacetal keeps decomposing to maintain the equilibrium constant. That is why like the 18 O exchange we have just discussed. we can never isolate such hemiacetals in a pure form. Only a few hemiacetals are stable Like their hydrates, the hemiacetals of most ketones (sometimes called hemiketals ) are even less sta- í ble than those of aldehydes. On the other hand, some hemiacetals of aldehydes bearing electron- We discussed the reasons for this in withdrawing groups, and those of cyclopropanones, are stable, just like the hydrates of the same Chapter 6. molecules. H OEt EtOH Br 3C O Br 3C OH a stable hemiacetal Hemiacetals that can be formed by intramolecular cyclization of an alcohol on to an aldehyde are also often stable, especially if a five- or six-membered ring is formed.

Part of the reason for the stability of cyclic measure the stability of a cyclic hemiacetal by the rate of the forward reaction divided by the rate of the hemiacetals concerns entropy . Formation of an equilibrium constant K for the ring-opening reaction: reverse reaction. So, for a stable hemiacetal, we acyclic acetal involves a decrease in entropy ( ∆S° a large K means lots of ring-opened product, and need a fast hemiacetal-forming reaction. And when negative) because two molecules are consumed for therefore an unstable hemiacetal, and a small K the hemiacetal is cyclic that is just what we do have: every one produced. This is not the case for means lots of ring-closed product: a stable the reaction is intramolecular and the nucleophilic formation of a cyclic hemiacetal. Since ∆G° = ∆H° – hemiacetal. After reading Chapter 13 you should OH group is always held close to the carbonyl group, T∆S°, a reaction with a negative ∆S° tends to have a appreciate that an equilibrium constant is simply the ready to attack. more positive ∆G°; in other words, it is less favourable. equilibrium constant kforward HO HO O O Another way to view the situation is to consider the kforward K = rates of the forward and reverse processes. We can k kreverse reverse fast for cyclic hemiacetals Acid or base catalysts increase the rate of equilibration of hemiacetals with their aldehyde and alcohol parents Acyclic hemiacetals form relatively slowly from an aldehyde or ketone plus an alcohol, but their rate of formation is greatly increased either by acid or by base. As you would expect, after Chapters 12 and 13, acid catalysts work by increasing the electrophilicity of the carbonyl group. 342 14 .

But, if we add catalytic acid to our acetaldehyde–methanol Acetals are formed from aldehydes or ketones plus alcohols in the presence of acid 343 mixture, we find not only that the rate of reaction of the acetaldehyde with the methanol increases, but also that a different product is formed.

    REVIEW ARTICLE PUBLISHED ONLINE: 24 JULY 2012 | DOI: 10.1038/NCHEM.1405 The progression of chiral anions from concepts to applications in asymmetric catalysis Robert J. Phipps, Gregory L. Hamilton and F. Dean Toste* Despite the tremendous advances of the past four decades, chemists are far from being able to use chiral catalysts to con- trol the stereoselectivity of any desired reaction. New concepts for the construction and mode of operation of chiral catalysts have the potential to open up previously inaccessible reaction space. The recognition and categorization of distinct approaches seems to play a role in triggering rapid exploration of new territory. This Review both reflects on the origins as well as details a selection of the latest examples of an area that has advanced considerably within the past five years or so: the use of chiral anions in asymmetric catalysis. Defining reactions as involving chiral anions is a difficult task owing to uncertainties over the exact catalytic mechanisms. Nevertheless, we attempt to provide an overview of the breadth of reactions that could reasonably fall under this umbrella. 9 ithin the broader field of science, organic chemistry is Of significantly greater acidity (pKa around 2–4) are chiral phos- often referred to as a mature field of study.

  • Structures of Monosaccharides Hemiacetals
    Structures of Monosaccharides Hemiacetals • Although, the open chain structures of monosaccharides are consistent with the chemistry of carbohydrates, in reality they are oversimplifications of the true structure of carbohydrates. • It is common knowledge that aldehydes react with alcohols to form hemiacetals. In cases where a molecule is a hydroxyaldehyde such as 4- hydroxybutanal or 5-hydroxypentanal, cyclic hemiacetals result. 9:47 AM 1 Structures of Monosaccharides Hemiacetals • Aldoses often contain an aldehyde group and several hydroxyl groups as part of the same molecule; they have a greater tendency of forming cyclic hemiacetals. In fact, in aqueous solution carbohydrates exist almost exclusively in the ring-closed form At equilibrium, the linear aldehyde or ketone structure represents less than 1% of the sugar present. • Five and six-membered rings are thermodynamically more stable than their corresponding four and seven membered rings, since they are less strained. • Five- (furanoses) and six-membered cyclic hemiacetals (pyranoses) are often more stable than their open-chain forms. In particular the six-membered rings which can adopt a chair conformation are 9:47 AM 2 essentially free from all types of strains. Structures of Monosaccharides Evidence for Existence of Monosacharides as Hemiacetals What physical, chemical and spectroscopic evidence support the existence of monosaccharide sugars as cyclic hemi-acetals. (a) Two anomers of glucose capable of existing independently with different physical (melting points and specific optical rotation) and chemical properties can be obtained by recrystallization. (b) the 1H-NMR and IR-spectra of solutions of pure sugars show the presence of mixtures (anomeric hemiacetals) and absence of an aldehydic peak is a sufficient indicator that the sugars exist in some other form other than the open-chain form.

It is worth to investigate the content of 3‑MCPD and GE in fries which also involved high temperature. The content of 3‑MCPD esters and GE were monitored in fries. The factors that been chosen were temperature and duration of frying, and diferent concentration of salt (NaCl). The results in our study showed that the efect was in the order of concentration of sodium chloride < frying duration < frying temperature. The content of 3‑MCPD esters was signifcantly increased whereas GE was signifcantly decreased, when prolong the frying duration. A high temperature results in a high 3‑MCPD ester level but a low GE level in fries. The present of salt had contributed signifcant infuence to the generation of 3‑MCPD. The soaking of potato chips in salt showed no signifcant efect on the level of GE during the frying. The oil oxidation tests showed that all the fries were below the safety limit. Hence, the frying cycle, temperature and the added salt to carbohydrate‑based food during frying should be monitored. Deep-fat frying is commonly being used to process food. During the process, heat transfer between the fried food and oil is occurs.

  • Chapter 14 – Aldehydes and Ketones
    Chapter 14 – Aldehydes and Ketones 14.1 Structures and Physical Properties of Aldehydes and Ketones Ketones and aldehydes are related in that they each possess a C=O (carbonyl) group. They differ in that the carbonyl carbon in ketones is bound to two carbon atoms (RCOR’), while that in aldehydes is bound to at least one hydrogen (H2CO and RCHO). Thus aldehydes always place the carbonyl group on a terminal (end) carbon, while the carbonyl group in ketones is always internal. Some common examples include (common name in parentheses): O O H HH methanal (formaldehyde) trans-3-phenyl-2-propenal (cinnamaldehyde) preservative oil of cinnamon O O propanone (acetone) 3-methylcyclopentadecanone (muscone) nail polish remover a component of one type of musk oil Simple aldehydes (e.g. formaldehyde) typically have an unpleasant, irritating odor. Aldehydes adjacent to a string of double bonds (e.g. 3-phenyl-2-propenal) frequently have pleasant odors. Other examples include the primary flavoring agents in oil of bitter almond (Ph- CHO) and vanilla (C6H3(OH)(OCH3)(CHO)). As your book says, simple ketones have distinctive odors (similar to acetone) that are typically not unpleasant in low doses. Like aldehydes, placing a collection of double bonds adjacent to a ketone carbonyl generally makes the substance more fragrant. The primary flavoring agent in oil of caraway is just a such a ketone. 2 O oil of carraway Because the C=O group is polar, small aldehydes and ketones enjoy significant water solubility. They are also quite soluble in typical organic solvents. 14.2 Naming Aldehydes and Ketones Aldehydes The IUPAC names for aldehydes are obtained by using rules similar to those we’ve seen for other functional groups (e.g.
