ω oxidation

Definition
Alkanes (3 or more C)
Cycloalkanes (monosubstituted, even-numbered)

Affects last carbon in chain
*Makes primary alcohols in alkanes
*Makes secondary alcohols in cycloalkanes in para position
Term

ω-1 oxidation

Definition
Alkanes (3 or more C)
Cycloalkanes (monosubstituted, even-numbered)

Affects second to last carbon in chain
Oxygen is inserted between C and H
*Secondary alcohols made in both alkanes and cycloalkanes (ortho)
Term

Peroxidation and Epoxidation

Definition
*Rule: At least one H atom on each alkene C atom

Peroxidation:
Alkenes are transformed (two O atoms are added)

Epoxidation:
Peroxide collapses and only one O atom remains (cyclic ether with three ring atoms)
Term

Allylic Oxidation

Definition
*Allylic position is the C atom directly attached to the alkene (aliphatic and not part of aromatic hydrocarbon)

*Allylic C must have at least one H atom attached

Transformed into an alcohol
Term

Aromatic Hydroxylation

Definition
Aromatic hydrocarbons undergo para hydroxylation and are transformed into a phenol

Phenols undergo ortho hydroxylation and are transformed into a catechol (ortho to OH group)

*Ipso carbon: C to which R group is attached

*Meta hydroxylation NEVER occurs
Term

Benzylic Oxidation

Definition
Benzylic position is the C directly attached to an aromatic ring

C must be aliphatic, not part of an aromatic ring, have one or more H atoms attached, and cannot have a heteroatom already attached (OH, NR2)

Creates an alcohol
Term

Alcohol Oxidation

Definition
Primary and secondary alcohols only

*Rule: C bearing the OH group must have one or more H atoms attached

Primary alcohol transforms into aldehyde and then carboxylic acid

Secondary alcohol transforms into ketone
Term

Oxidative O-dealkylation

Definition
*Rule: C that bears the ether O atom has one or more H atoms attached

Ether transformed to give an alcohol and either an aldehyde or a ketone
Term

S-dealkylation

Definition
*Rule: C that bears the thioether S atom has one or more H atoms attached

Thioethers
Term
