Oxidation/Reduction Reactions
• Commonly Termed ‘REDOX’ Reactions
• From General Chemistry, we Will Recall
 Oxidation: Loss of Electrons
 Reduction: Gain of Electrons
• Organic Chemists will Typically use Different Definitions
 Reduction: Increase Hydrogen Content (Decrease Oxygen)
 Oxidation: Decrease Hydrogen Content (Increase Oxygen)
• Oxidizing/Reducing Agents: Usually Inorganic Compounds (M+)
• We will also Recall that in REDOX Reactions:
 Oxidizing Agents get Reduced
 Reducing Agents get Oxidized

Seen NaBH4
Reducing Agents: 1° and 2° Alcohols
• Sodium Borohydride: NaBH4
• Lithium Aluminum Hydride: LiAlH4 (LAH)
• H2/Transition Metal Catalyst (z.b. CuO•CuCr2O4)
• NaBH4 and LiAlH4 are Hydride Transfer Agents

• Carboxylates/Esters Only Reduced by LiAlH4
• For Compounds w/ Multiple Carbonyl F.G.s; Select Based
on Which Group(s) Need to be Reduced

(PCC)
Chromic Acid
(Jones Reagent)
• PCC Generally a Mild Oxidant (1° Alcohol  Aldehyde)
• Jones Reagent Harsher Oxidant (1° Alcohol  Carboxylic Acid)
• Alcohol Often Dissolved in Acetone While Jones Reagent Added
• Choose Oxidant Based on Desired Carbonyl Functional Group
General Oxidizing Agent Selection
• Just as in Reductions, Oxidation Products Depend on Reagent
• Generally Don’t Oxidize 3° Alcohols (No Texas Carbons)

Organometallic Compounds
• Organic Compounds Containing Carbon—Metal Bonds
• Bonds Range From Ionic to Primarily Covalent
• Ionic C—M Bonds:
 C—Na
 C—K
• Primarily Covalent C—M Bonds:
 C—Pb
 C—Sn
 C—Hg
• Inetermediate C—M Bonds Include C—Mg and C—Li
• Reactivity Increases with Ionic Character of C—M Bond

Butyllithium
(Alkyl Lithium Reagent)
• Reactive, Carbanion-Like Species (React Slowly w/ Ethers)
• Halide Reactivity: RI > RBr > RCl (F Not Often Used)

Phenylmagnesium Bromide
(Grignard Reagent)
• Reactivity of Halides Same as for Organolithium Reagents
• Generally Exist as Complexes, We’ll Use RMgX for Simplicity
Organometallic Reactions: Notes
• Can Act as Nucleophiles Towards Polarized Carbonyl Groups
• Very Strong Lewis Bases (React with Acidic Protons)
• Basicity Necessitates Dry Conditions (Avoid Reaction w/ H2O)
• Reason For Basicity: Carbanion-Like Behavior (pKa??)
• Strong Enough Bases to Deprotonate Terminal Alkynes (pKa??)
• With No Acidic Protons, Can Do Nucleophilic Substitution
Let’s Look at Some Representative Grignard Reactions

• Grignard Reagents Nucleophilically Open Epoxides
• Generally Attack Less Substituted Carbon (Steric Hindrance)
• View This as Carbanion Attacking in SN2 Reaction (O L.G.)
Grignard Reactions w/ Carbonyls
• Grignard Reagents React With a Variety of Carbonyls
 Formaldehyde  1° Alcohols
 Higher Aldeydes  2° Alcohols
 Ketones  3° Alcohols
 Ester  3° Alcohols
• Attack of Grignard Generates Alkoxide; Protonate to get OH

• Grignard Reagents React Twice w/ Esters  3° Alcohols
• Two Alkyl Groups of Alcohol Correspond to Grignard Reagent
• Grignard Reactions Quite Useful in Wide Range of Alcohol
Syntheses (w/ Varying Degrees of Substitution)
Reactions of Organolithium Compounds
• Organolithium Reagents React Similarly to Grignards
• Also Strong Bases, Same Limitations Apply
• More Reactive Species Than Grignard Reagents
• Routine Syntheses: Prefer to use Grignard Reagents
• Sodium Alkynides (Triple Bond Anions) React in Same Manner
w/ Aldehydes and Ketones
