O
H
8-2 Which of these atoms is nearly always a terminal atom or a central atom:
C
H
Halogens
N
O
13 How does resonance between equivalent atoms affect bond length?
16 Identify the magnificent 7 strong acids
17 Strong nucleophiles
Identify the 3 trends that affect how nucloephilic a reactant is.
18 Leaving groups
- Identify the three best types of leaving groups
- Identify three common single atom leaving groups
- Identify three common compound leaving groups
Good leaving groups are halides, sulfonate esters, and water
19 Chiral products
How do you get chiral products from reactions
You must start with chiral reactants
Otherwise you get enantiomers, meso, or racemix products.
So no chiral products.
22 - is it Sn1, E1, Sn2, E2?
Draw the table that identifies the conditions that promote each reaction:
5 main conditions (rows) Sn1 E1 Sn2 E2 (columns)
Examine the five major factors to see if you have an
Sn1 Sn2 E1 or E2 reaction
24 Arrows
Identify the six types of arrows used in organic chemistry and what they mean
25 Reaction mechanisms
Identify the three different reaction mechanisms in undergraduate chemistry
- Substitution
- Addition to double or triple bonds
- Beta elimination (E1 or E2)
scroll down for graphics (explored in later cards)
25-2
Identify three main types of Substitution reactions
25-3
Identify three main types of Addition to Double Bonds reactions
25-4
Identify two main types of Beta-Elimination reactions
