6.2.4 Carbon-carbon Bond Formation Flashcards
1
Q
What is the mechanism of formation for nitriles?
A
- nucleophilic substitution
- the nucleophile is the CN- ion
2
Q
What are the reagents for the formation of nitriles?
A
- haloalkanes with CN- and ethanol
3
Q
Draw the mechanism of formation of nitriles
A
See notes
4
Q
How can amines be produced from nitriles?
A
- hydrogenation of nitriles form amines
- hydrogen with nickel catalyst
5
Q
How can carboxylic acids be produced from nitriles?
A
- acid hydrolysis of nitriles forms carboxylic acid and ammonium salt
- nitrile heated under reflux with dilute aqueous acid
6
Q
What are the reagents for Friedel-Crafts acylation?
A
- acyl chloride, benzene and halogen carrier catalyst
7
Q
What are the regents for Friedel-Crafts alkylation?
A
- haloalkanes, benzene and halogen carrier catalyst
8
Q
How can C-C=-N be formed?
A
- haloalkanes reacting with CN- and ethanol in nucleophilic substitution
- or carbonyl compounds with HCN in nucleophilic addition
