alcohols and haloalkanes Flashcards
ozone initiation
CF2Cl2=cl. +.CFCl
ozone propagation
1) Cl.+O3=ClO+O2
2) ClO+O3=2O2+Cl.
ozone termination
1) 2O3=3O2
2) 2Cl.=Cl2
alcohols volatility
less volatile than alkanes
hydrogen bonds and vanderwaal forces
combustion of alcohols
makes co2 and water
alcohols make good fuels cus lots of energy is released
nucleophilic substitution reagent and condition
reagent aqueous NaOH
condition reflux in aqueous sol
nucleophile sub how does it work
halogens have a higher electron density than carbon and so a dipole is induced in the c-halgonen bond carbon open to attack by nucleophile
dehydration reaction condition
condition acid catalyst conc h2so4
high temp
oxidation of primary alcohol reagent and condition
reagent H2SO4/K2Cr2O7
condition distil to get aldehyde and heat under reflux to get Carboxylic Acid
aldehyde functional group
carbon double bonded oxygen and bonded hydrogen
ketone functional group
carbon double bonded to oxygen
esterification reagent and condition
reagent Carboxylic Acid + strong acid catalyst h2so4
condition
electrophilic addition reagent and condition
reagent HBr
condition room temp
markovnikoff rule
major product is formed via most stable carbocation
3>2>1
hydration reagent and condition
reagent stream (330)
condition high pressure phosphoric acid catalyst
phosphoric acid
H3PO4
hydrogenation reagent and condition
reagent hydrogen
condition (finely divided) nickel catalyst
what does free radical substitution need
UV light
alcohols are polar because
large difference in electronegativity between oxygen and carbon
polarity and solubility
oxygen is very electronegative so can hydrogen bond to water molecules making alcohols water soluble
potassium dichromate color change
changes from orange to green when alcohol is oxidised due to change in oxidation state of chromium ion
why cant tertiary alcohols be oxidised
no hydrogen attached to carbon for oxygen to remove
hydrolysis of haloalkane forms
aqueous alkali
nucleophile cub rate down group 7
the rate decreases
large distance between halogen nucleus and shared pair of electrons, more shielding
c-x bond enthalpy decreases
bond easier to break during rate determining step
