<p class="jove_content">Inicial intenta utilizar la reacción del bisulfito como un método para eliminar aldehídos mediante una extracción de 2 fases típica llevada a niveles muy bajos de retiro. La hipótesis de que la reacción no fue lo suficientemente rápida como para ocurrir durante el tiempo muy limitado que las dos capas en contacto. Para aumentar el contacto entre los reactantes, hemos desarrollado un protocolo de extracción de dos fases en el que un disolvente miscible con agua se utiliza inicialmente para permitir suficiente mez...

<p class="jove_content">La separación de componentes de mezclas entre ellas es esencial para la preparación de los materiales puros. El método descrito en este documento permite la fácil separación de aldehinos y sterically unhindered cíclico y metil cetonas de otras moléculas orgánicas<sup class="xref">1</sup>. La técnica se basa en la reactividad de bisulfito con el grupo carbonilo para crear un aducto que se puede separar en una capa acuosa, mientras que otros componentes de separan en una capa orgánica inmiscible. La clave para alcanzar la reactividad entre el bisulfito y el carbonilo es el uso de un solvente miscible, que permite la reacción que tendrá lugar antes de la separación en fases separadas. Sin la adición de la separación mínima solvente miscible es obtenida, presumiblemente debido al mal contacto entre el bisulfito hidrofílico y los compuestos orgánicos hidrofóbicos.</p>
<p class="jove_content">La ventaja de este método de separación para la purificación es la facilidad del protocolo. Extracción líquido-líquido es una operación sencilla de realizar y puede llevarse a cabo en gran escala. Técnicas de purificación alternativos, tales como cromatografía en columna, son mucho más costosos, desperdiciadores de tiempo y difíciles de realizar en gran escala y requieren suficiente diferenciación de los componentes en términos de polaridad. La purificación por recristalización o destilación requiere suficiente diferenciación entre la solubilidad y puntos de ebullición de los componentes de la mezcla, respectivamente. Porque extracción de bisulfito se basa en la diferencia en la reactividad del grupo carbonilo de aldehídos y cetonas, compuestos con similar solubilidad, puntos de ebullición o polaridades pueden separar con eficacia. Otros métodos de separación químicos existen para la separación selectiva de aldehídos y cetonas de mezclas, por ejemplo, la formación selectiva de oximas<sup class="xref">2</sup>, Acetales cíclicos<sup class="xref">3</sup>o mercaptal<sup class="xref">4</sup> formación. Estos métodos requieren un paso adicional para separar las especies formadas de la mezcla, porque el producto no es soluble en agua y por lo tanto no se puede separar por un protocolo de extracción simple. Oxidación del aldehído para formar ácidos carboxílicos extraíbles es otro había comunicado técnica<sup class="xref">5</sup>, pero el paso de oxidación requiere menos estereoselectiva que las condiciones de bisulfito leve descrita en este documento y requiere el uso de gas de oxígeno y un catalizador de cobalto.</p>
<p class="jove_content">Este método es aplicable a la separación de aldehidos (<strong>figura 1</strong>) y unhindered sterically cíclicas y metil cetonas (<strong>figura 2</strong>) de las moléculas que no contienen estos grupos funcionales. Particularmente reactivas cetonas, como la α-ceto ésteres también se quitan usando este proceso. Alcanos, alquenos, dienos, alquinos, ésteres, amidas, ácidos carboxílicos, halides alkyl, alcoholes, fenoles, nitrilos, cloruros de bencil, epóxidos, anilinas, acetales, y ligeramente obstaculizado, α, β-insaturado, o aril cetonas son todos no reacciona en las condiciones y se puede separar del aldehino o cetona reactivo componente de la mezcla (<strong>figuras 2</strong> y <strong>figura 3</strong>). Cetonas Ethyl o cetonas cíclicas α-sustituido, por ejemplo, son suficientemente obstaculizadas y por lo tanto son separables de aldehídos y cetonas más reactivas. Al usar los alkenes, hexano se recomienda como el solvente inmiscible para evitar descomposición no deseada debido al dióxido de azufre presente en la solución de bisulfito. La compatibilidad de grupo funcional del Protocolo de extracción de bisulfito es extremadamente amplia y por lo tanto es aplicable a una gama muy amplia de las separaciones, si el contaminante de carbonilo que se separará de la mezcla es un aldehído o una sin obstáculos metilo o cetona cíclica. Menos reactivas cetonas no reaccionan con bisulfito bajo estas condiciones y por lo tanto no se quitan.</p>

separation of aldehydes and reactive ketones from mixtures using a bisulfite extraction protocol

<p class="jove_content">La purificación de compuestos orgánicos es un componente esencial de las operaciones sintéticas de rutina. La capacidad para eliminar los contaminantes en una capa acuosa generando una estructura cargada proporciona la oportunidad de utilizar extracción como una técnica de purificación simple. Combinando el uso de un disolvente orgánico miscible con bisulfito de sodio saturado, aldehídos y cetonas reactivas puede con éxito transformarse cargado bisulfito de aductos que puede entonces ser separados de otros componentes orgánicos de una mezcla por la introducción de una capa orgánica inmiscible.

Enzymatic Cascade Reactions for the Synthesis of Chiral Amino Alcohols from L-lysine

<p class="jove_content">Amino alcohols are versatile compounds with a wide range of applications. For instance, they have been used as chiral scaffolds in organic synthesis. Their synthesis by conventional organic chemistry often requires tedious multi-step synthesis processes, with difficult control of the stereochemical outcome. We present a protocol to enzymatically synthetize amino alcohols starting from the readily available L-lysine in 48 h. This protocol combines two chemical reactions that are very difficult to conduct by conventional organic synthesis. In the first step, the regio- and diastereoselective oxidation of an unactivated C-H bond of the lysine side-chain is catalyzed by a dioxygenase; a second regio- and diastereoselective oxidation catalyzed by a regiodivergent dioxygenase can lead to the formation of the 1,2-diols. In the last step, the carboxylic group of the alpha amino acid is cleaved by a pyridoxal-phosphate (PLP) decarboxylase (DC). This decarboxylative step only affects the alpha carbon of the amino acid, retaining the hydroxy-substituted stereogenic center in a beta/gamma position. The resulting amino alcohols are therefore optically enriched. The protocol was successfully applied to the semipreparative-scale synthesis of four amino alcohols. Monitoring of the reactions was conducted by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) after derivatization by 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene. Straightforward purification by solid-phase extraction (SPE) afforded the amino alcohols with excellent yields (93% to &#62;95%).</p>

<p class="jove_content">Chiral amino alcohols are versatile molecules for use as scaffolds in organic synthesis. Starting from L-lysine, we synthesize amino alcohols by an enzymatic cascade reaction combining diastereoselective C-H oxidation catalyzed by dioxygenase followed by cleavage of the carboxylic acid moiety of the corresponding hydroxyl amino acid by a decarboxylase.</p>

A Two-Step Protocol for Umpolung Functionalization of Ketones Via Enolonium Species

<p class="jove_content">&#945;-Functionalization of ketones via umpolung of enolates by hypervalent iodine reagents is an important concept in synthetic organic chemistry. Recently, we have developed a two-step strategy for ketone enolate umpolung that has enabled the development of methods for chlorination, azidation, and amination using azoles. In addition, we have developed C-C bond&#8211;forming arylation and allylation reactions. At the heart of these methods is the preparation of the intermediate and highly reactive enolonium species prior to addition of a reactive nucleophile. This strategy is thus reminiscent of the preparation and use of metal enolates in classical synthetic chemistry. This strategy allows the use of nucleophiles that would otherwise be incompatible with the strongly oxidizing hypervalent iodine reagents. In this paper we present a detailed protocol for chlorination, azidation, N-heteroarylation, arylation, and allylation. The products include motifs prevalent in medicinally active products. This article will greatly assist others in using these methods.</p>

<p class="jove_content">A two step one-pot protocol for the umpolung of ketone enolates to enolonium species and addition of a nucleophile to the &#945;-position is described. Nucleophiles include chloride, azide, azoles, allyl-silanes, and aromatic compounds.</p>

Synthesis of Esters Via a Greener Steglich Esterification in Acetonitrile

<p class="jove_content">The Steglich esterification is a widely-used reaction for the synthesis of esters from carboxylic acids and alcohols. While efficient and mild, the reaction is commonly performed using chlorinated or amide solvent systems, which are hazardous to human health and the environment. Our methodology utilizes acetonitrile as a greener and less hazardous solvent system. This protocol exhibits rates and yields that are comparable to traditional solvent systems and employs an extraction and wash sequence that eliminates the need for the purification of the ester product via column chromatography. This general method can be used to couple a variety of carboxylic acids with 1&#176; and 2&#176; aliphatic alcohols, benzylic and allylic alcohols, and phenols to obtain pure esters in high yields. The goal of the protocol detailed here is to provide a greener alternative to a common esterification reaction, which could serve useful for ester synthesis in both academic and industrial applications.</p>

<p class="jove_content">A modified Steglich esterification reaction was used to synthesize a small library of ester derivatives with primary and secondary alcohols. The methodology uses a non-halogenated and greener solvent, acetonitrile, and enables product isolation in high yields without the need for chromatographic purification.</p>

	<p>In this lab, you&#39;ll use the DNPH test, the Tollens&#39; test, and the iodoform test to identify two unknown aldehydes or ketones. You&#39;ll use butanone and benzaldehyde as known compounds to confirm that the tests are working as expected.</p>
	<p>You&#39;ll start the lab with the DNPH test, which relies on the reaction between 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, or DNPH, and aldehydes and ketones. When you combine DNPH and an aldehyde or ketone in an acidic environment, they undergo a condensation reaction to form the corresponding hydrazone. The hydrazone then precipitates from solution. If the precipitate is red to orange, the aldehyde or ketone was aromatic. If it&#39;s orange to yellow, the aldehyde or ketone was non-aromatic or aliphatic.</p>

	<p>When you combine an aldehyde with diammine silver(I), or Tollens&#39; reagent, the reagent is reduced to metallic silver and ammonia. The silver either coats the inside of the reaction vessel or precipitates as a black solid, so it&#39;s easy to see that the reaction happened.</p>
	<p>Most ketones are harder to oxidize than aldehydes and therefore don&#39;t react with the Tollens&#39; reagent. For this lab, you can assume that if silver appears, the compound is an aldehyde. If silver does not appear, the compound is a ketone.</p>
	<p>The Tollens&#39; reagent solution contains a strong base and must be disposed of specially to avoid forming an explosive decomposition product. Handle it carefully and remember to put the Tollens&#39; test waste in the designated container.</p>

	<p>When you combine iodine and a methyl ketone in aqueous base, iodine replaces the alpha methyl&#39;s hydrogens.

Alcohols from Carbonyl Compounds: Reduction

<p>Reduction is a simple strategy to convert a carbonyl group to a hydroxyl group. The three major pathways to reduce carbonyls to alcohols are catalytic hydrogenation, hydride reduction, and borane reduction.</p>
<p><strong>Catalytic hydrogenation</strong> is similar to the reduction of an alkene or alkyne by adding H<sub>2</sub> across the pi bond in the presence of transition metal catalysts like Raney Ni, Pd–C, Pt, or Ru. Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced by this method, often under mild to moderate heat (25–100°C) and pressure (1–5 atm H<sub>2</sub>), to yield 1° and 2° alcohols, respectively.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img alt="Hydrogenation reaction diagram; cyclohexanone to cyclohexanol using H₂/Pt, Pd, Ni catalyst, 90–95% yield." src="/files/ftp_upload/11925/11925_PT_Figure_1.svg" style="text-align: center; height: 90px;" data-altupdatedat="1747908711000" data-alt="Figure1"></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Figure 1.</strong> Catalytic hydrogenation can be suitable for industrial applications when harsh conditions are not required, but unsaturated carbon–carbon bonds are also reduced.</p>
<p><strong>Hydride reduction</strong> can be achieved by hydride transfer reagents, like sodium borohydride (NaBH<sub>4</sub>) and lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH<sub>4</sub>, or LAH), as nucleophilic attack by a free hydride ion, <strong><img alt="Lewis structure of hydride ion, H⁻, showing a hydrogen atom with a lone pair and a negative charge." src="/files/ftp_upload/11925/11925_PT_Figure_2.svg" style="height: 18px;" data-altupdatedat="1747908711000" data-alt="Figure2"></strong>, is almost unknown for NaH salts due to its high charge density, making it a strong base. The hydrogen atoms of LAH and NaBH<sub>4</sub>, being covalently bonded to boron and aluminum atoms, have partial negative charges, thereby enhancing their nucleophilicity at the cost of basicity. The first step of nucleophilic addition leads to the formation of alkoxide ions. The byproduct alkoxyborohydride or alkoxyaluminate reduces three more carbonyl molecules, successively transferring all their hydrogen atoms. Since hydride is a poor leaving group, the hydride transfer steps are irreversible, and therefore the reaction proceeds to completion. Lastly, the reaction mixture is worked up with solvent (i.e., water or alcohol in the case of NaBH<sub>4</sub> and dilute acid in the case of LAH).</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img alt="Chemical reaction diagram: ester reduction by LiAlH4 to form alcohols, showcasing reduction process." src="/files/ftp_upload/11925/11925_PT_Figure_3.svg" style="text-align: center; height:55px;" data-altupdatedat="1747908711000" data-alt="Figure3"></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Figure 2.</strong> Aldehydes and symmetrical esters produce one 1° alcohol product. Unsymmetrical esters produce a mixture of 1° alcohols.</p>
<p>LAH, NaBH<sub>4</sub>, and their derivatives are highly useful in the reduction of aldehydes and ketones. LAH, a powerful reducing agent, can also reduce carbonyl compounds like acids, esters, acyl chlorides, and amides. LAH reacts violently with water and other protic solvents, liberating hydrogen gas and forming metal hydroxides/alkoxides. Hence, LAH reductions are typically carried out in aprotic solvents like anhydrous diethyl ether and THF.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img alt="Organic reduction reaction equation, LiBH4/EtOH, carboxylic acid to alcohol conversion, chemical synthesis." src="/files/ftp_upload/11925/11925_PT_Figure_4.svg" style="text-align: center; height: 45px;" data-altupdatedat="1747908711000" data-alt="Figure4"></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Figure 3.</strong> An alcoholic solution of lithium borohydride is a non-hazardous alternative to LAH in selectively reducing esters over acids.</p>
<p>On the other hand, NaBH<sub>4</sub> is of a milder nature and generally reduces only in protic solvents like ethanol or methanol. Therefore, NaBH<sub>4</sub> can be used to reduce aldehydes and ketones in the presence of functional groups like alkyl halides, esters, alkyl tosylates, and nitro groups. Diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H) can also convert carbonyls to alcohols at room temperature by two successive additions of hydride ions. However, when reacted with esters at low temperatures, this reaction can be stopped at the aldehyde stage by adding only one equivalent of hydride ion.</p>
<p><strong>Borane reduction</strong> uses a borane (BH<sub>3</sub>) solution in diethyl ether, THF, or Me<sub>2</sub>S to selectively reduce electron-rich carbonyl groups like carboxylic acids in the presence of other reducible functional groups such as esters and even ketones.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img alt="Hydroboration-oxidation reaction equation; organic chemistry; synthesis of alcohols; reaction diagram." src="/files/ftp_upload/11925/11925_PT_Figure_5.svg" style="text-align: center; height: 65px;" data-altupdatedat="1747908711000" data-alt="Figure5"></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Figure 4.</strong> The formation of a reactive triacylborate intermediate with a more electrophilic carbonyl group than the starting ester molecule drives the reduction reaction forward.</p>
<p>For living organisms, reduced coenzyme NADH or its phosphoester NADPH is equivalent to laboratory hydride reagents in enzyme catalysis of similar biological reductions.</p>

Preparation of Aldehydes and Ketones from Alcohols, Alkenes, and Alkynes

<p>Aldehydes and ketones are prepared from alcohols, alkenes, and alkynes via different reaction pathways. Alcohols are the most commonly used substrates for synthesizing aldehydes and ketones. The conversion of alcohol to aldehyde, which involves the oxidation process, depends on the class of the alcohol used and the strength of the oxidizing agent. For instance, primary alcohol will form an aldehyde when treated with a weak oxidizing agent; however, it gets over-oxidized to a carboxylic acid in the presence of a strong oxidizing agent. Hence, a mild oxidant like pyridinium chlorochromate is used to convert primary alcohols to aldehydes.</p>
<p>Similarly, Swern and Dess&#8211;Martin oxidations, which employ weaker oxidizing agents, convert primary alcohols to aldehydes. The strength of the oxidizing agent is irrelevant when converting secondary alcohol to a ketone. Both mild and strong oxidants give ketones from secondary alcohols.</p>
<p>Unsaturated hydrocarbons like alkenes undergo an ozonolysis reaction to give aldehydes and ketones. The product formed depends on the substitution present across the double bond in an alkene. A monosubstituted alkene forms formaldehyde and another aldehyde molecule. However, disubstitution gives rise to two cases. A 1,1-disubstituted alkene upon ozonolysis forms a mixture of formaldehyde and ketone, while a 1,2-disubstituted alkene yields a mixture of aldehydes. Both aldehydes and ketones are formed when trisubstituted alkenes undergo ozonolysis, while tetrasubstituted alkenes form ketones exclusively.</p>
<p>Alkynes&#160;also form aldehydes and ketones under hydroboration-oxidation and acid-catalyzed hydration reaction conditions. The hydroboration-oxidation reaction favors anti-Markovnikov&#8217;s addition. Hence terminal alkynes form aldehydes, and internal alkynes&#160;yield ketones. On the other hand, the acid-catalyzed hydration reaction follows Markonikov&#8217;s addition, and thus both terminal and internal alkynes generate&#160;ketones.</p>

Aldehydes and Ketones

Preparation of Aldehydes and Ketones from Nitriles and Carboxylic Acids

<p>Although it is possible to reduce a carboxylic acid to an aldehyde, strong reducing agents, like lithium aluminum hydride (LAH), prohibit a controlled reduction, instead causing the generated aldehyde to instantly over-reduce to a primary alcohol.</p>
<p>Reducing carboxylic acid derivatives like acyl chlorides (RCOCl), esters (RCO<sub>2</sub>R&prime;), and nitriles (RCN) using milder aluminum hydride agents like lithium tri-<span style="font-style:italic">tert</span>-butoxyaluminum hydride [LiAlH(O-<span style="font-style:italic">t</span>-Bu)<sub>3</sub>] and diisobutylaluminum hydride [DIBAL-H] allows the easy conversion of the derivative to the corresponding aldehyde. This is because alkylaluminum hydrides are less reactive than LAH, as the former is more sterically hindered.</p>
<p>According to recent studies, a reductant like diphenylsilane in combination with an air-stable Ni precatalyst and dimethyl dicarbonate as an activator converts most of the carboxylic acid to the aldehyde without causing any over-reduction.</p>
<p>In other studies, a hydrosilane through visible light photoredox catalysis efficiently reduces carboxylic acids to aldehydes.</p>
<p>Ketones, unlike aldehydes, can be directly prepared from carboxylic acids using organolithium reagents. The acid rapidly reacts with two equivalents of an organolithium reagent to form a dianion. This dianion gets protonated to form the corresponding hydrate, which loses a water molecule to give a ketone.</p>
<p>Both aldehydes and ketones can be prepared from nitriles using suitable reducing agents. Aldehydes are formed by the partial reduction of nitriles in the presence of DIBAL-H. The nitrile first forms an aluminum complex, which later, on hydrolysis, yields the corresponding aldehyde.

Preparation of Aldehydes and Ketones from Carboxylic Acid Derivatives

<p>Aldehydes are more reactive than carboxylic acids and hence, can get over-reduced to alcohol in the presence of strong reducing agents. Therefore, carboxylic acids are&#160;inefficient in preparing aldehydes using LAH.</p>
<p>Carboxylic acid derivatives like acid chlorides and esters are more easily reducible than the corresponding acids. The derivatives reduce in the presence of mild reducing agents to give aldehydes. Aldehydes can also be prepared by Rosenmund reduction, that is, the reduction of acid chloride via hydrogenation over a poisoned catalyst. Catalytic poisoning inhibits the over-reduction of aldehydes. A Grignard reagent reduces an acid chloride to tertiary alcohol via a ketone intermediate. The reaction can be stopped at the ketone stage using a milder reducing agent like the Gilman reagent (R<sub>2</sub>CuLi). Aryl ketones can be prepared by Friedel&#8211;Crafts acylation&#160;in which acid chloride is treated with benzene and AlCl<sub>3</sub>.</p>
<p>Another carboxylic acid derivative, an ester, can be reduced to an aldehyde using DIBAL-H at dry ice temperature to give an aldehyde. Ketones cannot be prepared directly from esters because ketones are more reactive than esters and tend to over-reduce to tertiary alcohol.</p>

Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones: Baeyer&ndash;Villiger Oxidation

<p>Baeyer&#8211;Villiger oxidation converts aldehydes to carboxylic acids and ketones to esters. The reaction uses peroxy acids or peracids and is often catalyzed by acid. The reaction is named after its pioneers, Adolf von Baeyer and Victor Villiger. The reaction is achieved by a wide range of peracids such as <em>m</em>-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (<em>m</em>CPBA), perbenzoic acid (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>COOOH), peracetic acid (CH<sub>3</sub>COOOH), hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>), and <em>tert</em>-butyl hydroperoxide (<em>t</em>-BuOOH).</p>
<p>The carbonyl center is activated by protonating the carbonyl oxygen. The peracid then adds across the C=O bond to give a tetrahedral intermediate called the Criegee intermediate. During the concerted intramolecular rearrangement that follows, the carbonyl group is restored, a group migrates from carbon to oxygen, and the weak peroxide bond cleaves to give an acid (if the substrate is an aldehyde) or an ester (if the substrate is a ketone).</p>

<p>The migratory aptitude of different groups follows the order of &#8211;H &#62; &#8211;CR<sub>3</sub> &#62; &#8211;CHR<sub>2</sub> &approx; &#8211;Ph &#62; &#8211;CRH<sub>2</sub> &#62; &#8211;&NoBreak;CH<sub>3</sub>. This makes Baeyer&#8211;Villiger oxidation regioselective. Also, the reaction retains the stereochemistry at the migrating center for asymmetrical substrates. Reactions involving cyclic ketones produce lactones.</p>
