Alcohols Flashcards
What are the methods of preparation of alcohols
*hydration of alkenes
*hydrolysis of alkyl halide
*reaction of aldehyde/ketones with grignard reagent (CH3-MG-X)
explain the reaction of hydration of alkenes
1: react alkene with a reagent (H2SO4)
2: because of markonikov’s rule, the H will react with CH2 alkene, and will from
CH3-CH-CH3
I
OSO3H
3: the product will react with H2O and form, CH3-CH-CH3 + H2S04
I
OH
reaction of hydrolysis of alkyl halide
alkyl halide reacts with alkali (KOH)
K reacts with halogen
OH takes place of halogen
write the reaction of hydrolysis of alkyl halide on your textbook
:)
explain the reaction of grignard reagent with aldehyde
reaction of grignard reagent with formaldehyde
