Q

In an Acid - Catalyzed Hydration how do you control the position equilibrium?

A

Can control the position of equilibrium by controlling the amount of water present (Using either concerated or dilute acid)

20
Q

What is the stereochemistry of Acid-Catalyzed Hydration?

A

The intermediate carbocation can be attack from either side so it forms a new chirality center & a racemic mixture of enantiomers

21
Q

Oxymercuration - Demercuration

A

Addition of water (H & OH) across a double

22
Q

Mercuric Acetate

A

Hg(OAc)2

23
Q

When the double bond (π bond) is protonated in an oxymercuration - demercuration reaction what happens?

A

A carbocation intermediateis formed

24
Q

When the double bond (π bond) is attacked by a mercuric cation what happens?

A

An Mercurinium ion is formed

25
Q

The regiochemistry of an oxymercuration-demecuration is what?

A

A Markonvikov addition

26
Q

Demercuration

A

Removal of mercury occurs by a radial reaction & results in the addition of H & a nucleophile (which is usually water

(H2O)

27
Q

Hydroboration - Oxidation

A

Places the OH group on the less substituted position

28
Q

What is the regiochemistry of an Hydroboration - Oxidation Reaction?

A

Anti- Markovnikov addition

29
Q

What is the stereochemistry of a Hydroboration - oxidation reaction ?

A

Syn Addition (The prodcuts chirality centers have the H & OH on the same plane (Cis conformation))

30
Q

If there is no chirality center formed in an hydroboration-oxidation reaction then what are the outcome of the products?

A

There will only be one product formed

31
Q

When only one chirality center present in the products of an hydroboration - oxidation reaction then what is the outcome of the products?

A

Both enantiomers are observed

32
Q

When there is two chirality center present in the products of an hydroboration reaction then what is the outcome of the products?

A

The chirality center are formed by a syn addition (So they are on the same plane) & a pair of enantiomer is observed

33
Q

Catalytic Hydrogenation

A

Involves the addition of molecular hydrogen (H2) across a double in the presence of a metal catalyst

34
Q

What is the stereochemistry of catalytic hydrogenation ?

A

When two new chirality center are formed then a pair of enantiomers are formed by a syn addition

35
Q

What are the common heterogenous Catalyst in a catalytic hydrogenation reaction?

A

Pt, Pd, & Ni (They dont dissolve in a reaction)

36
Q

What is the common homogeneous catalyst in a catalytic hydrogenation?

A

Wilkinson’s Catalyst (Rh(PPh3)3Cl)

37
Q

Halogenation

A

Involves the addition of X2 (Either Br2 or Cl2) across an alkene

38
Q

What is the regiochemistry of halogenation reaction?

A

Anti-Markonvikov addition

39
Q

What is the stereochemistry of an halogenation reaction?

A

Anti Addition where the products will have the halogens on the opposite planes

40
Q

In an Halohydrin reaction the OH is placed on what?

A

the more substituted position

41
Q

What is the indications of a halohydrin reaction?

A

When you have a halogenation (either Br2 or Cl2) as a reagent & water as the solvent (Adds a halogen & OH across a double bond & the OH is placed on the more substituted position )

42
Q

Dihydroxylation

A

Adding two OH

43
Q

Halohyrin can make an epoxide through an ________ reaction

A

SN2

44
Q

Ozonolysis Reaction

A

A reaction that cleaves the double bond ( The common reagents are DMS & ZN/H2O)

45
Q

What do have consider when predicting the products of an addition reaction?

A
  1. What groups are being added across a double bond
  2. What is the expected regiochemistry (markovnikov addition or anti- markovnikov addition)
  3. What is the expected stereochemistry (Syn or Anti addition)
46
