Question Answer
What is tautomerism? Shift between two structure forms
What is enolate? Deprotonated alcohol (OL) conjugated to alkene (ENE)
Is keto-enol tautomerism equilibrium or resonance? Equilibrium because bonds between H and C/O are being made and broken
When you enolize a non-symmetrical ketone, which product is the thermodynamically stable one? The one that results in the double bond with the most substituted ends
Which product is the thermodynamic one and which is the kinetic one when you enolize a non-symmetric ketone? LDA and other hidnered amide bases deprotonate the less hindered site, resulting in the kinetic product Deprotonation at the more hindered site gives you the thermodynamic product
How do you enolize an ester? Use the O-R as the base because if it were to do carbonyl attack you get the starting material
Rate of enolization ease Same as nucleophilicity/basicity
How do you enolze an acid chloride You don't Cl can act as a LG and give a ketene
How do you enolize carboxylic acid? In presence of base you just get deprotonation because carboxylic acid is more acidic
How do you enolze an amide? 1° and 2°: No (pKa of proton on the N is much lower and you'll get a negative charged nitrogen) 3°: Noice! (since there's no protons to get deprotonated)
'enolizable' imine and enamiens **
How do you enolize nitroalkanes and nitriles? Pretty easily
What helps make an enol thermodynamically stable? Conjugation via dicarbonyls (e.g. dimedone)
Harp modification whatever **

nitrosation of enols **
What are two kinds of stable enolate equivalents? Lithium enolates and silyl enol ethers
Does enolation via lithium give kinetic or thermodynamic enolate? kinetic
mechanism of lithium enolate **
mechanism of silyl enol ether formation **
What kind of electrophiles are compatible for this? Is this a hard or soft site? Hard
hydrolysis of enol ethers **
