1. For each of the following statements, indicate whether they are true of false. ⚫a characteristic feature of the carbonyl group is that it has partial positive charge on the carbon atom and partial negative charge on the oxygen atom - this is what imbues it with the ability to behave as an electrophile on the carbon atom. ⚫all carbonyl groups are equally electrophilic. ⚫the groups attached to a carbonyl group have a tiny influence on how electrophilic it is. • protonation of a carbonyl group makes it more electrophilic. • the previous statement, while true, is a gross understatement (tantamount to saying that the Atlantic Ocean is larger than Mundy Pond). • an alkoxide (RO) is more nucleophilic than its conjugate acid (ROH). • the previous statement, while true, is a gross understatement (tantamount to saying that the Canada is larger than Vatican City).

1. For each of the following statements, indicate whether they are true of false. ⚫ an acyl group is a carbonyl group attached to a carbon-based group. cyclic esters are called lactones. • a very strong and basic nucleophile will deprotonate a carboxylic acid much faster that it will undergo nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl group. ⚫ when thinking about how to synthesize an alcohol (1-, 2° or 3°), the use of a Grignard reaction is never worth considering. • a chemoselective reaction is one in which a reagent reacts with one functional group at a faster rate than with another functional group. ⚫ the formal addition of H2 across a pi bond (e.g. a carbonyl group or an alkene) is an oxidation reaction. ⚫ the formal 1,2 elimination of H2 from an organic molecule to afford a pi bond (e.g. a carbonyl group or an alkene) is an oxidation reaction. • NaBH4 is a much stronger reducing agent (hydride donor) than LiAlH4.

First, draw your chosen compounds including any non-bonding electrons and non-zero formal charges Circle and name any pH-sensitive functional groups. Choose an organic solvent that will dissolve both or your compounds and an aqueous solution (i.e. conc. aqueous NaOH, 5% aq. NaHCO3, or 3M HCl) that would successfully separate the two compounds selected.
