As depicted in Figure 1, base-catalyzed aldol addition involves adding two carbonyl compounds in aqueous sodium hydroxide to form a β-hydroxy carbonyl compound.
Figure 1: The base-catalyzed aldol addition reaction of aldehydes.
The reaction preferentially occurs with simple aldehydes, where the α carbon is monosubstituted. The equilibrium of the reaction involving disubstituted aldehydes and ketones shifts backward to the reactants due to the steric interactions at the α carbon. The...
The aldol reaction of a ketone under acidic conditions successfully forms an unsaturated carbonyl as the final product instead of an aldol. The acid-catalyzed aldol reaction is depicted in Figure 1.
Figure 1. The acid-catalyzed aldol addition reaction of ketones.
First, as shown in Figure 2, the acid protonates the ketone molecule to form the protonated ketone. The conjugate base of the acid deprotonates the α carbon of the protonated ketone to form the enol.

Diols are compounds with two hydroxyl groups. In addition to syn dihydroxylation, diols can also be synthesized through the process of anti dihydroxylation. The process involves treating an alkene with a peroxycarboxylic acid to form an epoxide. Epoxides are highly strained three-membered rings with oxygen and two carbons occupying the corners of an equilateral triangle. This step is followed by ring-opening of the epoxide in the presence of an aqueous acid to give a trans diol.
Hydrolysis of acid halides is a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction in which acid halides react with water to give carboxylic acids. The reaction occurs readily and does not require acid or a base catalyst.
As shown below, the mechanism involves a nucleophilic attack by water at the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. This is followed by the reformation of the carbon–oxygen π bond along with the departure of a halide ion. A final proton transfer step yields carboxylic...
Carboxylic acids, upon reaction with strong reducing agents such as lithium aluminum hydride followed by hydrolysis, undergo reduction to form primary alcohols.
Weaker reducing agents like lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminum hydride or diisobutylaluminum hydride cannot reduce carboxylic acids to primary alcohols.
Carboxylic acids can also be reduced to primary alcohols by using borane in the tetrahydrofuran solvent. The main advantage of using borane in reducing a carboxylic acid is that this...
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.
Reducing carboxylic acid derivatives like acyl chlorides (RCOCl), esters (RCO2R′), and nitriles (RCN) using milder aluminum hydride agents like lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminum hydride [LiAlH(O-t-Bu)3] and diisobutylaluminum hydride [DIBAL-H]...
