11.2 Oxidation-Reduction reactions in organic chemistry

Reduction of an organic molecule usually corresponds to increasing its hydrogen

content or to decreasing its oxygen content.

The opposite of reduction is oxidation. Thus, increasing the oxygen content of an organic molecule or decreasing its

hydrogen content is an oxidation.

Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is a milder reducing agent than lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4). Lithium aluminum hydride will reduce acids. Esters, aldehydes, and ketones; but sodium borohydride will reduce only aldehydes and ketones.

11.5 Organometallic compounds （有机金属化合物）

Compounds that contain carbon-metal bonds are called organometallic compounds. It include Carbon-lead, carbon-tin, carbon-thallium, carbon-mercury, carbon-lithium and carbon-magnesi

um bonds.

C:- M+

M = Na+ or K+

(Primarily ionic)

Alkylsodium and alkylpotassium compounds are highly reactive and are among the most powerful of base

C: M

M = Mg or Li

Organometallic compounds of lithiumand magnesium are of great importancein organic synthesis. They are relativly stable in ether solutions, but their carbon-metalbonds have considerable ionic character.

(Primarily covalent)

C M

M = Pb, Sn, Hg, or TI

Organomercury and organolead compounds are much less reactiv; they are often volatile and are stable in air. They are all poisonous. They are generally soluble in nonpolar solvents. Tetraethyllead, for example, has been used as an "antiknock" compound in gasoline.

11.6 Preparation of organolithium and organomagnesium compounds

11.6A Organolithium compounds (有机锂化合物）

Organolithium compounds are often prepared by the reaction of organic halides with lithium metal.

11.6B Grignard reagents （格利雅试剂） ;

Organomagnesium halides were discovered by the French chemist Victor Grignard in 1900. Grignard received the Nobel Prize for his discovery in 1912, and organomagnesium halides are now called Grignard reagents in his honor. Grignard reagents hav

e great use in organic synthesis.
