Chapter 21 2

Hydrolysis of Acid Chlorides and Anhydrides

• Hydrolysis occurs quickly, even in moist air with no acid or base catalyst.

• Reagents must be protected from moisture.

=>

Chapter 21 3

Acid Hydrolysis of Esters

• Reverse of Fischer esterification.

• Reaches equilibrium.

• Use a large excess of water.

Saponification

• Base-catalyzed hydrolysis of ester.

• “Saponification” means “soap-making.”

• Soaps are made by heating NaOH with a fat (triester of glycerol) to produce the sodium salt of a fatty acid - a soap.

• One example of a soap is sodium stearate, Na+ -OOC(CH2)16CH3. =>

Chapter 21 5

Hydrolysis of Amides

Prolonged heating in 6 M HCl or 40% aqueous NaOH is required.

=>

Chapter 21 6

Hydrolysis of Nitriles• Under mild conditions, nitriles hydrolyze

to an amide.

• Heating with aqueous acid or base will hydrolyze a nitrile to an acid.

=>

Chapter 21 7

Reduction to Alcohols

Lithium aluminum hydride reduces acids, acid chlorides, and esters to primary alcohols.

=>

Chapter 21 8

Reduction to Aldehydes

Acid chlorides will react with a weaker reducing agent to yield an aldehyde.

=>

Chapter 21 9

Reduction to Amines

• Lithium aluminum hydride reduces amides and nitriles to amines.

• Nitriles and 1 amides reduce to 1 amines.

• A 2 amide reduces to a 2 amine.

• A 3 amide reduces to a 3 amine.

=>

Chapter 21 10

Organometallic Reagents

Grignard reagents and organolithium reagents add twice to acid chlorides and esters to give alcohols after protonation.

=>

Chapter 21 11

Grignard Reagentsand Nitriles

A Grignard reagent or organolithium reagent attacks the cyano group to yield an imine which is hydrolyzed to a ketone.

=>

Chapter 21 12

Acid Chloride Synthesis

• Use thionyl chloride, SOCl2, or oxalyl chloride, (COCl)2.

• Other products are gases.

Industrial Synthesis of Acetic Anhydride

• Four billion pounds/year produced.

• Use high heat (750°C) and triethyl phosphate catalyst to produce ketene.

Anhydride vs. Acid Chloride• Acetic anhydride is cheaper, gives a

better yield than acetyl chloride.

• Use acetic formic anhydride to produce formate esters and formamides.

• Use cyclic anhydrides to produce a difunctional molecule.
