Q

Oxidation on aldehydes vs ketones

A

Ketones dont oxidise, lack of reactivity to distinguish between ket and ald Aldehydes can be oxidised to carb acids when REFLUXED with ACIDIFIED DICHROMATE IONS Cr2O72- / H+ usually as mixture of K2CR2O7 and H2SO4 Dichromate solution changes from orange to green

Q

Significant difference in bonds of carbonyl compounds and alkenes

A

The C=C double bond in alkenes is non polar The C=O double bond in carbonyl compounds is polar Because o more electroneg than C so e dens in double bond lies closer to O than C Carbon end slightly + O slightly -

Q

Aldehydes and ketones react with some nucleophiles because of

A

Due to polarity of the C=O double bond Nucleophile is attracted to and attacks the slightly + C atom resulting in addition across the C=O double bond Nucleophilic addition

Q

To detect presence of carbonyl functional group in both ald and ket….

A

A solution of 2,4- dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNP) (Brady’s reagent) Normally uses dissolved in methanol and sulfurique acid as pale orange solution Brady’s Solid DNP v. Hazardous because friction can cause explosion In presence if carb a yellow or orange precipitate called a 2,4- dinitrophenylhydrazone is produced

21
Q

How do u distinguish between ald and ket

A

Once compound ideantified as carb add Tollens reagent (solution of silver nitrate in aqueous ammonia) to fresh sample When ald a silver mirror is produced

22
Q

Testing for ald group with tollens reagent

A
23
Q

Reaction of tollens and ald

A

Tollens contains silver (I) ions Ag+ which act as oxidising agent in presence of ammonia Silver ions are reduced to silver as ald is oxidised to carboxlic acid

24
Q

Identifying ald or ketone by melting point

A
25
Q

What two groups does the carboxyl group contain?

A

Carbonyl grp and hydroxyl group Carboxyl functional group is found in carboxylic acids, funct group is COOH not CO and OH

26
Q

Where are carboxylic acids found

A

Found in medicines fruit juices vinegar and rhubarb leaves Used as intermediates for formation of things like aspirin which can be synthesised from salicylic acid

27
Q

How can carboxlic acids form hydrogen bonds with water

A

C=O AND O-H bonds are polar Carb acids up to 4 carb atoms are soluble in water E.g dicarboxylic acids have 2 polar carboxyl groups to form H bonds, solid and took temp and readily dissolve As number of carb atoms increases solubility decreases as non polar carbon chain has greater effect on polarity of molecule

28
Q

Strength of carb acids

A

Weak Methanoic acid HCOOH is simplest When dissolved in water carb acids partially dissociate HCOOH(aq) double arrow H+ (aq) + HCOO-(aq)

29
Q

Which reactions do carb acids take place in

A

Redox with metals Neutralisation with bases In these reactions carb acids form carboxylate salts

30
Q

Redox reactions or carb acids

A

Aq carb acids react with metals to form H gas and carboxylate salt Metal dissolves (disappears) and effervescence

31
Q

Neutralisation reaction of carb acid with metal oxides

A

To form salt and water Eg Ethanoic acid + calcium oxide = calcium ethanoate and water

32
Q

Neutralisation reaction of carb acids with alkalis

A

Form salt and water Eg Ethanoic acid +sodium hydroxide = sodium ethanoate and water

33
Q

Neutralisation reaction of carb acids with carbonates

A

Carbon dioxide formed If carb acid in excess a solid carbonate would disappear

34
Q

Test for carboxyl group

A

Neutralisation reaction of carb acids with carbonates means can distinguish carb acids from eg phenols (not acidic enough) Carb acids are only common organic compound sufficiently acidic to react with carbonates

35
Q

What is derivative of carb acid

A

Compound that can be hydrolysed to form parent carboxylic acid They have common sequence of atoms in struc called acyl group Esters, acyl chlorides, acid anhydrides and amides are all derivatives of carb acids

36
Q

How to name Ester

A

Remove oic and replace with oate Alkyl chain attached to oxygen of COO group is first word of name (alcohol part)

37
Q

How to name acyl chlorides

A

Remove oic acid and replace with oyl chloride

38
Q

How are acid anhydrides formed

A

Removal of H20 from two carb acid molecules

39
Q

Describe estérification

A

Alcohol warmed with carb acid with small amount of conc sulfuric acid (catalyst)

40
Q

How to make ethyl propanoate

A
41
Q

Describe acid hydrolysis

A

Easter can be hydrolysed by aqueous acid (reverse of estérification) Ester is heated under reflux with dilute aq acid Ester broken down by water with acid acting as catalyst

42
Q

Describe alkaline hydrolysis

A

Also know as saponification and is irreversible Ester heated under reflux with aq hydroxide ions

43
Q

How to prepare acyl chlorides

A

Reaction of parent carboxylic acid with thionyl chloride SOCl2 Other products are gases SO2 and HCL leaving only SOCl2 Reaction in fume cupboard as products are harmful

44
Q

How do acyl chlorides react

A

Very reactive Useful as easily converted into carb acid derivatives eg esters with good yields React with nucleophiles by losing chloride ion while retaining C=O bond

45
Q

Reaction of acyl chlorides with alcohols to form esters

A
46
Q

Why can carb acids not react with phenols but …… can to form esters

A

Carb acids not reactive enough Acid chlorides and acid anhydrides both much more reactive than carb acids and react to produce phenyl esters Neither reaction needs acid catalyst

47
Q

What happens when water is added to acyl chloride

A

Violent reaction Dense steamy hydrogen chloride fumes form Carb acid formed

48
Q

How does ammonia and amines react with acyl chlorides

A

Act as nucleophiles by donating lone pair of electrons on N atom to electron deficient species Reaction forms amides

49
Q

How does ammonia react with acyl chlorides

A

Forms primary amide where nitrogen atom connected to one carbon atom

50
Q

How does PRIMARY amine react with acyl chloride

A

Same as ammonia to form SECONDARY amide where nitrogen attached to two carbon atoms

51
Q

Acid anhydrides vs acyl chlorides

A

React in similar way Acid an. Less reactive so useful in lab preps

2(CH3CO)2O + C6H5OH ARROW CH3COOC6H5 + CH3COOH

ethanoic anhydride + phenol to phenyl ethanoate + ethanoic acid

52
Q

Mechanism or reaction between acyl chlorides and nucleophiles

A
