QUESTION 2 Consider the following reaction. What is the role of LDA? CHOUyEt 1.LDA, THF 2.CH₂CH₂Br O LDA acts as an acid to protonate the carbonyl carbon to form a good electrophile. LDA acts as a base and removes a proton from the alpha carbon to form the enolate. OLDA acts as a nucleophile and is substituted by the THF. OLDA acts as an electrophile and adds to the alkyl halide so it is easier to substitute. CH₂CH₂ CHCO₂Et

Look at the atom in each molecule and classify as an electrophile or a nucleophile. How do you know if it is a electrophile or nucleophile? What makes it an electro or nucleophile? C in CH3Br N in NH3 O in HO-
For each of the reactions indicate which reactant is the nucleophile and which is the electrophile.
Question 17 Consider the mechanism that converts the starting material to the product and identify the true statement. OCH, OCH3 a CH CH,CI AICI3 The electrophile generated is the methyl carbocation. The substitution is ortho because the methyl group stabilizes the positive charge that develops in the on carbon b by induction. The substitution is ortho because the methoxy group stabilizes the positive charge that develops on carbon a by resonance. A proton is removed from carbon c to re-aromatize the ring.

1. NaOEt CO₂Et 2. H3O+ 3. heat Br H3C CO₂H CO2 H3C CO₂Et The malonic ester synthesis is a carbonyl alkylation reaction. It is used to prepare carboxylic acids from primary alkyl halides, lengthening the carbon chain by two atoms. Thus, the product can be visualized as being a "substituted acetic acid." The reaction consists of three steps: generation of the enolate anion followed by SN2 reaction with a primary alkyl halide, ester hydrolysis under acid conditions, and decarboxylation.
