H2 / Pd on C

H2/ Pd on C

H2/ Lindlars catyl.

• Na or Li
• →
• :NH3

H2/ Pd on C 

(count your carbons, plop OH on)

clemmensen's (Zn (Hg) / HCl) 

or

Wolf Kishner (NH2NH2/ -OH)


Take carbonyl or carbonyl-H and count your carbons !

H2/ Pd on C

or 

Sn or Fe / HCl

• 1) LiAlH₄
• 2)H₂0

• peroxyacid 
• 

can add same peroxiacid to cis or trans reactant cis will produce meso compounds and trans will produce racemic mixture

• 1)McPBA
• 2) H2O (H+ or -OH)

intermediate is an epoxide

• 1) OsO4/pyridine (NMO)
• 2)NaSO3H/ H2o   or just ⇾ 30% H2O2

OR

dilute KMnO4 / -OH, cold (or rm temp)

• 1) O3
•                             :
• 2) Zn/H2o or just --S--
•                             :

"cut alkene with scissors" count your carbons

• 1) KMnO4
• 2) H30+ , heat 
• needs to be in acidic condition also with heat

ozonolysis 

or 

KMnO4/H3o+

wk ox: PCC, 

• strong ox:
• CrO3, Na2Cr2O7, KMnO4 
• (in H2SO4)

• 1) KMnO4/OH/Na2CO3/heat
• 2) Dilute H30+

R--X

and 

X2 in aprotic

if in protic, the product will have one X and OH attached to it

H2SO4/ heat 

or

• 1) Hg(OAc)2/ H2O/THF
• 2) NaBH4
•  has 3 mem ring as intermed. 

or 

• 1)BH3/ THF
• 2) H2O2/-OH 
• (has the "poof")
