Reactions, Rearrangements, and Reagents by SN Sanyal

Prerequisite Knowledge

: This is not a "start from scratch" book. It is most effective for students who already have their fundamentals in place and need a reliable place to find advanced mechanisms and reactant actions. Condition: Aldehydes with no $\alpha$-hydrogen (e

• Condition: Aldehydes with no $\alpha$-hydrogen (e.g., Formaldehyde, Benzaldehyde).
• Reagent: Concentrated Alkali ($NaOH$ or $KOH$).
• Outcome: Disproportionation—one molecule is oxidized to a carboxylic acid salt, and the other is reduced to an alcohol.
• Cross-Cannizzaro: Formaldehyde usually acts as the reducing agent (sacrificial) when mixed with another aldehyde.

Named Reactions:

The book provides deep dives into classic reactions like the Aldol condensation, Cannizzaro reaction, and Hoffmann bromamide degradation, breaking down the electron flow step-by-step. Named Reactions: The book provides deep dives into

4. Beckmann Rearrangement

$LiAlH_4$

| Reagent | Common Name | Application/Function | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Lithium Aluminium Hydride | Strong reducing agent. Reduces carbonyls, esters, acids, and amides to alcohols/amines. Does not reduce alkenes. | | $NaBH_4$ | Sodium Borohydride | Mild reducing agent. Reduces aldehydes and ketones to alcohols. Does not reduce esters or acids. | | $KMnO_4$ (Alkaline) | Potassium Permanganate | Oxidizing agent. Converts alkenes to diols (syn addition) or cleaves double bonds to carbonyls/acids. | | $O_3$ | Ozone | Ozonolysis. Cleaves alkenes to form aldehydes or ketones (reductive workup with $Zn$). | | $PCC$ | Pyridinium Chlorochromate | Mild oxidizing agent. Converts primary alcohols to aldehydes (stops at aldehyde, does not over-oxidize to acid). | | $H_2/Pd-C$ | Hydrogenation | Reducing agent. Reduces alkenes and alkynes to alkanes. | | $Lindlar's Catalyst$ | $Pd/CaCO_3 + PbO$ | Selective reduction. Converts Alkynes to Cis-Alkenes . | | $NaNH_2$ (liq. $NH_3$) | Sodium in Ammonia | Reduction. Converts Alkynes to Trans-Alkenes (Birch reduction context). Also used for dehydrohalogenation. | | $NBS$ | N-Bromosuccinimide | Source of Bromine radicals. Used for allylic/benzylic bromination. | and Hoffmann bromamide degradation
