What is the major difference between the base-catalyzed and acid-catalyzed processes for nucleophilic addition of water to aldehydes and ketones?
a. The base-catalyzed reaction takes place rapidly because hydroxide ion is a much better nucleophile than neutral water.
b. The rate of reaction in base catalyzed process is slower than acid catalyzed process.
c. The acid-catalyzed reaction takes place rapidly because the protonated carbonyl compound is a much better electrophile than the neutral compound.
d. Only 1 and 3 are correct.
1) The first mechanistic step of an acid catalyzed nucleophilic addition to a
polar pi bond when the nucleophile is weak is which of the following?
a. A nucleophile addition
b. A proton transfer to the nucleophile
c. A proton transfer from the nucleophile
d. A proton transfer to the carbonyl
e. A proton transfer from the carbonyl
Draw the products of each reaction, and label the nucleophile and electrophile. (see the attachment)
