Reverse of MPV oxidises alcohol to carbonyl

 

 

 

RO- (Claisen Schmidt Reaction)

 

 

 

 

i) Acetic anhydride

ii) Sodium acetate (Perkin’s reaction)

 

 

i)  Aluminium isobutoxide

ii) Propan-2 ol (MPV Reduction)

 

Reduces ketone to alcohol

 

 

 

 

Cannizaro Reaction

 

This is reaction of compounds which don’t have alpha hydrogen

 

 

 

 

Cross Cannizaro

 

 

Anhydrous H contains no water

 

 

 

 

i) CHCH3 - Alc KOH

ii) H3O+ (Riemann Tiemann)

 

 

 

 

(i) CO2

(ii) H3O+ (Kolbe’s reaction)

High Pressure

 

 

 

AlCl3 (Fries rearrangement)

Heat

High Pressure

 

KMnO4, H+ (or) K2Cr2O7, H+ (or) H2CrO4

 

Oxidises alcohol to acid

 

 

 

PCC (Pyrindinium) chloro chromate

Solvent CS2

Restricted oxidation of alcohol. Forms aldehyde.

 

 

 

MnO2 special oxidising agent for alcohol

 

 

 

 

HI

 

 

For 1 degree carbon

 

For 3 degree carbon

 

 

 

 

Conc HI contains very less water

 

 

(i) Alc KOH

Cold Dil KMnO4

 

 

   

Hot KMnO4

 

 

   

CF3SO3-

 

Super Leaving Group

 

 

 

LiAH4 –ether

 

Reduces ester to alcohol

 

 

 

NaBH4- ROH (protic solvent)

HBr in presence of H2O2 (Only for HBr)

 

Anti Marknokov’s

 

 

 

 

Hot Alkaline KMnO4

 

Replaces “=” with either C = O or COOH

 

 

 

 

CH2-I2, ZnCu

 

Adds methyl in cyclic manner

 

Alcoholic KOH

 

Removes HX from compound and adds double bond

 

 

 

Zn dust

 

Removes all HX

 

 

 

H2 PdBaSO4 or S-Quinoline (Lindhar’s catalyst) or BH3-THF

 

Reduces alkyne to alkene

 

 

 

 

Ph3P = CH2

 

Replaces O of Carbonyl with methyl

 

 

 

NOX

 

 

 

 

ONDM (Oxymercuration demercuration)

H3PO2

Heat

Removes diazo group

 

 

 

LiAH4 or NaBH4 or Ph3 SnH

 

Reduction

R2 CuL (Lithium dialkylcuprate)

 

Removes halogen from RX and adds R

 

 

 

Mg-ether

 

Adds Mg between R &  X

Red P + HI

 

Reduces all to corresponding alkanes

 

Name

Condition

Example

Br2 + CS2

 

Causes Br to go on ring

 

 

 

Br2 + H2O

Compound should be more activated than benzene

 

 

 

Sn + HCI

 

Reduces group

CuCI + HCI

 

Removes Diazo group

 

 

 

NH4H or NaS or Na2S

 

Special regents which reduce only 1 NO2 group
