Rules of the Day 3-07-07 Click here for today's lecture mechanism sheet 1 Click here for today's lecture mechanism sheet 2 1. Acid chlorides, anhydrides, and esters react with amines involving an initial attack to create a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate, followed by a proton transfer, followed by loss of the leaving group to give the amide. 2. The key issue that distinguishes the different carboxylic acid derivative mechanisms is proton transfers, as they all involve mechanism B or a variation there of with proton transfers occuring at different times. These are best understood, not memorized, using the following priciples:
3. It looks as thought the plot for the Star Wars movies is really derived from carbonyl chemistry. 4. You can make less reactive carboxylic acid derivatives from more reactive ones. Homework: Start Working on Homework Problem Set 7. It will be due before class on Wednesday, March 21. Reading: Sections No new reading Problems in Book: 18.24, 18.25, 18.27, 18.32 You will not turn these in but they are very helpful to PREPARE for the next lecture.
