1. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions

⑴ Oxidizing Agents: Substances that are reduced themselves and oxidize other substances

① K2Cr2O7

② H2CrO4

③ CrO3

④ KMnO4

⑤ Jones reagent: CrO3 / aq. H2SO4

⑥ PCC: Mild oxidizing agent

○ Primary alcohols → Aldehydes

○ Secondary alcohols → Ketones

○ Tertiary alcohols → No reaction

⑦ DMP (Dess-Martin periodinane)

⑧ HOCl

⑨ NaOCl / CH3COOH / 0 ℃

⑩ Swern oxidation reagent

⑪ Collins reagent

⑫ Magtrieve oxidant (CrO2)

⑬ TEMPO

⑭ Ag2CO3

⑮ NaIO4

⑵ Reducing Agents: Substances that are oxidized themselves and reduce other substances

① Overview

○ Reducing agents are typically nucleophiles and change oxidation states

○ NaH and similar compounds are bases and do not change oxidation states

② H2 / Pt, Pd or Ni

③ [Lindlar catalyst](https://jb243.github.io/pages/1363#:~:text=syn%20%EC%B2%A8%EA%B0%80%20%EB%B0%98%EC%9D%91%20%3A-,Lindlar,-%EC%B4%89%EB%A7%A4%20(P%2D2)

○ Catalyst consisting of Pd, CaCO3 (or BaSO4), lead (Ⅱ) acetate ((CH3COO-)2Pb2+), quinoline, etc.

④ LiAlH4 and NaBH4

○ LiAlH4 (LAH): Strong reducing agent

○ Carboxylic acids → Primary alcohols

○ Aldehydes → Primary alcohols

○ Ketones → Secondary alcohols

○ Consider steric hindrance in reduction reactions

○ NaBH4: Weak reducing agent

○ Carboxylic acids → No reaction

○ Aldehydes → Primary alcohols

○ Ketones → Secondary alcohols

○ Why LiAlH4 is stronger than NaBH4

Reason 1: Unlike B, Al is in the 3rd period, making it easier for hydrogen to leave

Reason 2: Al has lower electronegativity, resulting in a larger δ- for H

○ LiAlH4 reacts vigorously with H2O, so simultaneous addition of H2O should be avoided: LAH is mainly used with THF solvent

⑤ Na2SO3



2. Organometallic Reagents

⑴ Overview

① Organometallic reagents perform carbon-carbon coupling reactions

② Metal ions in compounds carry δ+ charge, alkyl groups carry δ- charge

⑵ Grignard Reagents: RMgX

① Preparation: RX + Mg (catalyst: anhydrous ether) → RMgX

Reaction: In RMgX, Mg becomes δ+ leading to strong negative charge on R, which connects to electrophilic carbons

○ Acyl chloride, acid anhydride, ester: reacts

○ Phosgene (phosgen), carbonate ester: reacts

○ Carboxylic acid: does not react

③ Grignard reagents react with carbons that have low steric hindrance

④ Limitation in Organic Halides

○ Organic bromides and organic iodides: Grignard reagents are easily formed

○ Organic fluorides: Grignard reagents are hardly formed

④ Alcohol Protection Reactions (e.g., tosylation, mesylation)

○ If an acidic hydrogen is present in RX, Mg acts as a Lewis base and reacts with the hydrogen. For example, alcohols do such behavior.

○ Thus, alcohols are protected from Mg via alcohol protection reactions

⑶ Alkyl Lithium Reagents: RLi

① Preparation

Reaction: In RLi, Li becomes δ+ leading to strong negative charge on R, which connects to electrophilic carbons

○ Alkyl lithium reagents can react with carboxylic acids unlike Grignard reagents and Gilman reagents

⑷ Gilman Reagents: R2CuLi

① Preparation: 2RLi + CuI (catalyst: anhydrous ether) → R2CuLi

Reaction: In R2CuLi, CuLi becomes δ+ leading to strong negative charge on R. Connect a single R to an electrophilic carbon.

1-1. Reaction of primary alkyl halides with SN2 mechanism

1-2. Halogen substitution reactions of alkenes: Stereoconfiguration Z, E is preserved

○ Gilman reagents are unreactive with carbonyl groups (C=O)

Exception 1. Formation of ketones from acyl chlorides: Acyl chlorides are reactive, with the R group attaching to the ketone carbon and the -Cl group releasing

Exception 2. Enone and 1,4-addition reaction (Michael addition): In the case of β-halo carbonyl E1cB, a carbon-carbon coupling reaction occurs at an alkene position remote from the ketone
