Hydrate of an Aldehyde
« on: September 10, 2014, 01:18:13 PM »
I was reading on organic-chemistry.org about Jones reagent and it says if an aldehyde is able to form the hydrate it will be further oxidized to the carboxylic acid.

Why would an aldehyde not form a hydrate?  What would hinder it?

If I have a aldehyde alpha branched from a longer chain wouldnt it oxidize to the acid??

I am wondering what would hinder the oxidation??

Vinyl, allylic??

Im guessing sterics, next to EDG, solvent.  Jones will form epoxides on double bonds (allylic) as a side reaction and carbocation shift (allylic). Take away acetal by distilling.  Jones reagent can cause explosions.

This is what I am trying to do.  I do no think I should have a probelm.

You would be better with a Pinnick oxidation.

The Jones reagent, Cr is, well I don't like it :o

That seems more than a feasible way to go.

Do you just have a grudge against Chromium??? 

Nasty work up I assume?!?!

Work-up is s#*$. Hate Cr oxidants.

I was not cussing, it was valid chemical terminology!

Why would an aldehyde not form a hydrate?  What would hinder it?

Some aldehydes form quite stable hydrates, eg CCl3CHO. The majority of aldehydes exist as partial
hydrates in aqueous solution.
