The strongest resonance effect occurs in amides, which exhibit substantial carbon-nitrogen double bond character and are the least reactive of the derivatives. An interesting exception to the low reactivity of amides is found in beta-lactams such as penicillin G. The angle strain introduced by the four-membered ring reduces the importance of resonance, the non-bonding electron pair remaining localized on the pyramidally shaped nitrogen.
Finally, anhydrides and esters have intermediate reactivities, with anhydrides being more reactive than esters. Carbonyl Reactivity and IR Stretching Frequency An interesting correlation between the reactivity of carboxylic acid derivatives and their carbonyl stretching frequencies exists.
For a discussion of this topic Click Here. From the previous discussions you should be able to predict the favored product from each of the following reactions. The acyl derivative is the reactant on the left, and the nucleophilic reactant is to its right. Click the " Show Products " button to display the answers. The first three examples concern reactions of acyl chlorides, the most reactive acylating reagents discussed here. Bear in mind that anhydrides may also be used as reagents in Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions.
Esters are less reactive acylating reagents than anhydrides, and the ester exchange reaction 6 requires a strong acid or base catalyst. The last example demonstrates that nitrogen is generally more nucleophilic than oxygen. Indeed, it is often possible to carry out reactions of amines with acyl chlorides and anhydrides in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution!
Not only is the amine more nucleophilic than water, but the acylating reagent is generally not soluble in or miscible with water, reducing the rate of its hydrolysis.
No acylation reactions of amides were shown in these problems. The most important such reaction is hydrolysis, and this normally requires heat and strong acid or base catalysts. One example, illustrating both types of catalysis, is shown here. Mechanisms for catalyzed reactions of this kind were presented earlier. Other Acylation Reagents and Techniques Because acylation is such an important and widely used transformation, the general reactions described above have been supplemented by many novel procedures and reagents that accomplish similar overall change.
These are normally beyond the scope of an introductory text, but a short description of some of these methods is provided for the interested reader by Clicking Here. Although they do not have a carbonyl group, nitriles are often treated as derivatives of carboxylic acids. Hydrolysis of nitriles to carboxylic acids was described earlier , and requires reaction conditions catalysts and heat similar to those needed to hydrolyze amides.
This is not surprising, since addition of water to the carbon-nitrogen triple bond gives an imino intermediate which tautomerizes to an amide. Reductions of carboxylic acid derivatives might be expected to lead either to aldehydes or alcohols, functional groups having a lower oxidation state of the carboxyl carbon. Indeed, it was noted earlier that carboxylic acids themselves are reduced to alcohols by lithium aluminum hydride.
At this point it will be useful to consider three kinds of reductions: i catalytic hydrogenation ii complex metal hydride reductions iii diborane reduction. As a rule, the carbonyl group does not add hydrogen as readily as do the carbon-carbon double and triple bonds. Thus, it is fairly easy to reduce an alkene or alkyne function without affecting any carbonyl functions in the same molecule. By using a platinum catalyst and increased temperature and pressure, it is possible to reduce aldehydes and ketones to alcohols, but carboxylic acids, esters and amides are comparatively unreactive.
The exceptional reactivity of acyl halides, on the other hand, facilitates their reduction under mild conditions, by using a poisoned palladium catalyst similar to that used for the partial reduction of alkynes to alkenes.
This reduction stops at the aldehyde stage, providing us with a useful two-step procedure for converting carboxylic acids to aldehydes, as reaction 1 below demonstrates. Equivalent reductions of anhydrides have not been reported, but we might speculate that they would be reduced more easily than esters. Examples of these reductions are provided in the following diagram. The second and third equations illustrate the extreme difference in hydrogenation reactivity between esters and nitriles. This is further demonstrated by the last reaction, in which a nitrile is preferentially reduced in the presence of a carbonyl group and two benzene rings.
This may occur by way of an intermediate aldehyde imine created by addition of the first equivalent of hydrogen. Excess ammonia shifts the imine equilibrium to the left, as written below.
Of these, lithium aluminum hydride, often abbreviated LAH, is the most useful for reducing carboxylic acid derivatives. Thanks to its high reactivity, LAH easily reduces all classes of carboxylic acid derivatives, generally to the —1 oxidation state. Since acyl chlorides and anhydrides are expensive and time consuming to prepare, acids and esters are the most commonly used reactants for this transformation. As in the reductions of aldehydes and ketones, the first step in each case is believed to be the irreversible addition of hydride to the electrophilic carbonyl carbon atom.
Coordinative bonding of the carbonyl oxygen to a Lewis acidic metal Li or Al undoubtedly enhances that carbon's electrophilic character. This hydride addition is shown in the following diagrams, with the hydride-donating moiety being written as Al H 4 —. All four hydrogens are potentially available to the reduction, but when carboxylic acids are reduced, one of the hydrides reacts with the acidic O—H to generate hydrogen gas.
Although the lithium is not shown, it will be present in the products as a cationic component of ionic salts. Acyl iodides in organic synthesis: XIII. Reaction of acyl iodides with nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic compounds.

Both of these are very electronegative. They both pull electrons towards themselves, leaving the carbon atom quite positively charged. We are going to generalize this for the moment by writing the reacting molecule as "Nu-H". Nu is the bit of the molecule which contains the nucleophilic oxygen or nitrogen atom. The attached hydrogen turns out to be essential to the reaction. The general equation for the reaction is:.
In each case, the net effect is that you replace the -Cl by -Nu, and hydrogen chloride is formed as well. Since the initial attack is by a nucleophile, and the overall result is substitution, it would seem reasonable to describe the reaction as nucleophilic substitution.
