29
Q

when a haloalkane reacts to form an amine what reactants and reagents are required

A

NH3 conc, heat and sealed tube

or

NH3 dissolved in alc

30
Q

when a haloalkane reacts to form an amine why can you not use aqueous NH3

A

as OH- cause alc to form as its a stronger nucleophile than NH2

31
Q

when a haloalkane reacts to form a secondary amine what reactants and reagents are required

A

R-NH2

primary amine

32
Q

when a haloalkane reacts to form an alcohol what reactants and reagents are required

A

aqueous OH-

eg in KOH or NaOH

33
Q

what is produced when an haloalkane is reacted with NH3 conc/heat/sealed or NH3 dissolved in alcohol

A

produces an amine

34
Q

what is produced when an haloalkane is reacted with a primary amine

A

secondary amine

35
Q

what is produced when an haloalkane is reacted with aqueous OH-

eg from KOH or NaOH

A

alcohol and halide ion

36
Q

what is the reagents and reactants required when haloalkanes form alkenes

A

OH- (alcohol) and heat

37
Q

what is the reagents and reactants required when haloalkanes form alkenes

A

OH- (ethanol) and heat

note must be dissolved in alcohol, if it is simpky OH- aq then alcohol will be formed instead of alkene

38
Q

in reaction of haloalkane substitution to form alcohol and elimination to form alkene what conditions favours substitution

low temp

dilute soln of Na/KOH

more H2O in solvent mixture

high temp

conc soln of Na/KOH

pure ethanol solvent

40
Q

what is produced when a haloalkane reacts with OH-(ethanol) and heat
