16
Q

reactant used in dihydroxylation of an alkene

A

H2O2

17
Q

what kind of addition is the dihydroxylation of an alkene and why

A

syn - both alcohols attack the same face as alkene is sp2 and flat

18
Q

what kind of oxidant is mCPBA (meta chloroperbenzoic acid)

A

strong oxidant

19
Q

what does mCPBA oxidise an alkene into

A

an epoxide

20
Q

what happens to ethyl oleate when exposed to oxygen

A

oxygen radicals can attack and forms of PEROXIDE which decomposes to an alpha beta unsaturated ketone which is toxic

21
Q

mild reducing agent example

A

NaBH4 (in the presence of ethanol and acid)

22
Q

what does NaBH4 reduce

A

aldehydes to a primary alcohol

23
Q

strong oxidising agent example

A

LiAlH4 (presence of Et2O as a solvent)

24
Q

what can LiAlH4 reduce

A

ester to primary alcohol

25
Q

which carbonyls require a mild reducing agent

A

more reactive carbonyls

26
Q

which carbonyls require a strong reducing agent

A

less reactive carbonyls

27
Q

what does the reduction of an alkene result in

A

alkane

28
Q

what are the reactants and conditions for the reduction of an alkene

A

H2 and a Pd/C catalyst

29
Q

what kind of addition is the reduction of an alkene

A

syn, both Hs delivered to the same face

30
Q

what happens when an alkyne reacts with H2 and a lindlar catalyst

A

only the first hydrogenation occurs, and a CIS ALKENE is formed

31
Q

what is a lindlar catalyst

A

a poisoned flat surface catalyst

32
Q

what is a nitro group reduced to

A

an amine

33
Q

what does a nitrobenzene need to react with to be reduced

A

H2 and Pd/C catalyst

34
Q

what does nature use to reduce carboxylic acids

A

NADH/ NADPH
