Document Summary

Trends in acidity: electronegative element makes h more acidic since stabilizing the anion (weaker conjugate base, carboxylic acids are better acids than alcohols, second oxygen, so when remove the h get resonance stabilized anion. In the first one, the electron withdrawing group is closer and so has stronger effect: benzene has resonance, and acts as ewg, more alkyl groups are more electron donating so slight decrease in acidity. Key features of strong nucleophilic addition: tetrahedral intermediate ==> nu adds to the c=o, elimination --labile c-z leads to re-forming of c=o, irreversible addition --barrier for reverse reaction is too large. Weak nucleophilic addition-elimination: used to make esters from carboxylic acids, under acidic conditions, generally reversible, protonate before adding the nucleophile, to make carbonyl more electrophilic. Practice acidic hydrolysis: need acidic conditions for an ester --protonate first before adding in water, no net gain, acting as catalyst.
