1. Overview

⑴ Common Reaction Principles

① Nucleophilic Attack, Electrophilic Attack

② Proton Transfer: Occurs intermolecularly between molecules rather than intramolecularly within a molecule

③ Tautomerization: Enol ↔ Ketone

④ Work-up: Precise identification of the base is not necessary

⑵ Properties

① Physical Properties

○ Carboxylic acids stabilize in dimeric forms due to hydrogen bonding

○ The dimeric structure results in carboxylic acids producing infrared absorption spectra around 2500-3000 cm-1

② Comparison of Carbonyl Compound Reactivities

acyl halide > acid anhydride > aldehyde > ketone > ester ~ carboxylic acid> amide > carboxylate ion

⑶ Carbonyl Compound Reaction Types

Type 1: When the nucleophilicity of Y- is greater than that of X-

Type 1 is frequently observed in acyl chlorides

○ Carboxylic acids and others also exhibit a similar prevalence of Type 1

○ Aldehydes and ketones rarely undergo reactions of Type 1

Figure 1. Carbonyl Compound Reaction Type 1


Type 2: When the nucleophilicity of Y- is smaller than that of X-

○ Most aldehydes and ketones follow Type 2

○ Even other reactions often seem to be merely an application of Type 2.

Type 3: Enone and 1,2-Addition Reaction: Occurs when the nucleophile is a strong nucleophile (e.g., Grignard reagent)

2. Carboxylic Acids

⑴ Nomenclature

① Replace the -e of the alkane with -oic acid for naming

② Systemic nomenclature: Carbon number 1 becomes the carbon of -COOH

③ Common nomenclature: Adjacent carbon to -COOH becomes the α carbon

④ If there are alkenes, alkynes, etc., in the main chain, alkanoic acid becomes alkenoic acid, alkynoic acid, etc.

⑤ Comparison of Systemic Nomenclature (left) and Common Nomenclature (right)

○ Methanoic acid / Formic acid

○ Ethanoic acid / Acetic acid

○ Propanoic acid / Propionic acid

○ Butanoic acid / Butyric acid

○ Pentanoic acid / Valeric acid

○ Hexanoic acid / Caproic acid

○ Propenoic acid / Acrylic acid

○ 2-methoxybutanoic acid / α-methoxybutyric acid

○ 3-bromopentanoic acid / β-bromovaleric acid

Reaction 1-2: Fischer Esterification

(Formula) RCOOH + HOR’ react under acidic conditions to form RCOOR’ + H2O

○ Carboxylic acids do not undergo acetal formation reactions, so they do not compete with Fischer esterification.

○ The reason that proton attaches to =O rather than -OH under acidic catalysis

○ Assumption: ROH must form a tetrahedral intermediate with carboxylic acid to facilitate the departure of the leaving group

○ Proton attaching to -OH: ROH results in =O becoming -O- and -OH becoming -OH2+, making the molecule unstable

○ Proton attaching to =O: ROH results in =OH+ becoming -OH, and the original -OH remains unchanged, stabilizing the intermediate


image

Figure 8. Fischer Esterification Mechanism


○ Under basic catalysis, only the acid-base reaction occurs, converting -COOH to -COO-

Reaction 1-3: Amide Formation through Amine Addition

○ Reaction Conditions: Δ, EDC, DIC, or DCC

○ EDC: 1-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide)

○ DIC: Diisopropylcarbodiimide

○ DCC: N,N‘-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide

Figure 9. Mechanism of Amide Formation through Amine Addition


Point 1: EDC / NHS Chemistry


image

Figure 10. EDC/NHS Coupling


○ 1st. EDC reacts with the carboxyl group of the target molecule

○ 2nd. NHS stabilizes the EDC intermediate: Because the EDC intermediate can react with water

○ In other words, NHS prevents extensive reaction with water, promoting rapid amine reaction

○ 3rd. Amines are attached to form amide bonds

○ Additional Notes

○ Generally, protocols indicate that EDC and NHS are added simultaneously to the target molecule solution.

○ Adding NHS first does not cause it to react with the target molecule

○ NHS (N-hydroxysuccinimide) Supplementation

○ NHS is the most frequently used activated ester

○ NHS-amine labeling is usually done in water as a solvent

○ Since NHS decreases water solubility, DMSO or DMF is sometimes added.

○ For reactions where water solubility is crucial, sulfo NHS is used

Point 2: Difference between EDC and DCC: EDC and DCC perform similar roles overall

○ EDC: Generates a water-soluble byproduct (urea byproduct) within 1 day

○ DCC: Performs the role of EDC in organic solvents, forming DCU

Point 3: Various Application Cases
