A solution of a carbonyl compound is added to a Grignard reagent. (See gallery) An example of a Grignard reaction (R 2 or R 3 could be hydrogen). The Grignard reaction (French:) is an organometallic chemical reaction in which, according to the classical definition, carbon alkyl, allyl, vinyl, or aryl magnesium halides (Grignard reagent) are added to the carbonyl groups of either an aldehyde or ...
Grignard reagents react with a variety of carbonyl derivatives. [15] Reactions of Grignard reagents with carbonyls. The most common application of Grignard reagents is the alkylation of aldehydes and ketones, i.e. the Grignard reaction: [16] Reaction of CH 3 C(=O)CH(OCH 3) 2 with H 2 C=CHMgBr
Note that if a Grignard reagent (such as RMgBr) is used, the reaction with an enone would instead proceed through a 1,2-addition. The 1,4-addition mechanism of cuprates to enones goes through the nucleophilic addition of the Cu(I) species at the beta-carbon of the alkene to form a Cu(III) intermediate, followed by reductive elimination of Cu(I ...
While a carbon nucleophile will react with the acid halide first to produce a ketone, the ketone is also susceptible to nucleophilic attack, and can be converted to a tertiary alcohol. For example, when benzoyl chloride ( 1 ) is treated with two equivalents of a Grignard reagent, such as methyl magnesium bromide (MeMgBr), 2-phenyl-2-propanol ...
The imine then reacts with a Grignard reagent to the corresponding Hauser base. This species' negative charge enables displacing a less reactive alkyl halide, including methyl, ethyl, and other nonactivated halides. Hydrolysis then yields the alkylated ketone. In the Corey-Enders reaction, a hydrazone replaces the amine for enantioselection.
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. For these latter reactions, two equivalents of the incoming group add to form an alcohol rather than a ketone or aldehyde. This occurs even if the ...
Several modifications of alkynylation reactions are known: In the Arens–van Dorp synthesis the compound ethoxyacetylene [7] is converted to a Grignard reagent and reacted with a ketone, the reaction product is a propargyl alcohol. [8] [9]
The reagent can even undergo reaction with peroxide to form the peroxycarboxylic acid, which can react further to form diacyl peroxides. The imidazole group is also reduced by LiAlH 4 to form aldehydes from the carboxylic acid (rather than amines or alcohols). The reagent can also be reacted with Grignard reagents to form ketones. [1]
