NaNH2/NH3

Sodamide can be prepared by adding sodium metal to ammonia.

Sodium metal can easily react with any active proton donor with the release of hydrogen gas.

NaNH2/NH3 obtained can be used for benzyne mechanism while NaNH2/NH3 in ethanol is used

for Birch reduction.

1,3-propan-dithiol

1,3-propan-dithiol is used to change the polarity of carbonyl carbon of aldehydes in order to make it

nucleophilic by using LDA as a base. This change in polarity is called as umpolung.

Using this concept, we can easily prepare any cyclic ketones like cyclopropanone, cyclobutanone, etc.

Protected form of formaldehyde

Again LDA is used to get which on deprotection using acid/ Hg2+ yields

Mechanism involves formation of primary ozonoid which on homolysis gives carbonyl oxide radical.

Carbonyl oxide radical on dimerization gives tetraoxane which on breaking yields corresponding carbonyl.

DIBAL-H and Solvent-Effect

It’s a neutral aluminium hydride containing only one

hydride species. It’s a convenient reagent for reducing

carboxylic acids to alcohols. It can reduce esters to

alcohols and aldehydes selectively. Amides and nitriles

also yields aldehydes

Simmons-Smith Cyclopropane Synthesis

It has been developed by H.E. Simmons and R.D. Smith of the DuPont Company. During this

synthesis diiodomethane and zinc-copper couple are stirred together with alkene. The

diiodomethane and zinc react together to produce carbene like species called as carbenoid

which brings stereospecific addition of CH2 directly to the double bond.

Simplest carbene : Methylene

:CH2

Can be easily prepared by thermolysisor by irradiating diazomethane gas.
