A
120’
Trigonal Planar
Arrange themselves in max separation to be trigonal planar
C atom is sucesptible to nucleophillic attack above and below plane
2
Q
Preparation of carbonyls
A
Oxidation Of Alcohols using acidified Potassium Dichromate
3
Q
Reaction with HCN
A
pH 8, KCN Catalyst, ethanol as solvent
Good way to lengthen the chain
Catalyst is regenerated
4
Q
Why do LiAlH4 and NaBH4 not reduce Alkenes?
A
H- act as nucleophile
C=C acts undergoes ELECTROPHILLIC addition
Alkenes not sucesptible to nucleophiles
