Some amides can be reduced to aldehydes in the Sonn-Müller method, but most routes to aldehydes involve a well-chosen organometallic reductant. Lithium aluminum hydride reduces an excess of N,N-disubstituted amides to an aldehyde: [citation needed] R(CO)NRR' + LiAlH 4 → RCHO + HNRR' With further reduction the alcohol is obtained.
These possibilities have been used to account for the fact that, for certain substrates like α-tetralone, the group that migrates can sometimes change, depending on the conditions used, to deliver either of the two possible amides. [8] Two proposed reaction mechanisms for the amide formation from a ketone via Schmidt reaction
In organic chemistry, carbonyl reduction is the conversion of any carbonyl group, usually to an alcohol. It is a common transformation that is practiced in many ways. [1] Ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, esters, amides, and acid halides - some of the most pervasive functional groups, -comprise carbonyl compounds.
Nahm and Weinreb also reported the synthesis of aldehydes by reduction of the amide with an excess of lithium aluminum hydride (see amide reduction). The Weinreb–Nahm ketone synthesis. The major advantage of this method over addition of organometallic reagents to more typical acyl compounds is that it avoids the common problem of over-addition.
The reaction of a substituted amide with phosphorus oxychloride gives a substituted chloroiminium ion (2), also called the Vilsmeier reagent. The initial product is an iminium ion (4b), which is hydrolyzed to the corresponding ketone or aldehyde during workup. [7] The Vilsmeier–Haack reaction
In a prelude to the actual Shapiro reaction, a ketone or an aldehyde (1) is reacted with p-toluenesulfonylhydrazide [6] (2) to form a p-toluenesulfonylhydrazone (or tosylhydrazone) which is a hydrazone (3).
Stephen aldehyde synthesis, a named reaction in chemistry, was invented by Henry Stephen (OBE/MBE). This reaction involves the preparation of aldehydes (R-CHO) from nitriles (R-CN) using tin(II) chloride (SnCl 2 ), hydrochloric acid (HCl) and quenching the resulting iminium salt ([R-CH=NH 2 ] + Cl − ) with water (H 2 O).
The Zultanski–Zhao–Stahl oxidative amide coupling is a reaction between a primary alcohol and an amine to form an amide. [31] In the Zultanski–Zhao–Stahl reaction, a primary alcohol is oxidized to an aldehyde which, in the presence of an amine, reversibly forms a hemiaminal which is then irreversibly oxidized to the amide by the catalyst.
