Ch14 Haloalkanes Flashcards
1
Q
primary haloalkane
A
carbon atom bonded to halogen is bonded to only one other carbon
react most slowly- strongest C-X bond
2
Q
secondary haloalkane
A
carbon atom bonded to halogen is bonded to only two other carbons
3
Q
tertiary haloalkane
A
carbon atom bonded to halogen is bonded to only three other carbons
reacts quickest- weakest C-X bond
4
Q
hydrolysis
A
organic product is split using water and two new products are formed
5
Q
nucleophile
A
ion or molecule that is an electron-pair donor and can form a new covalent bond
6
Q
nucleophilic substiution of haloalkane basics
A
- heated under reflux in aqueous solution of an alkali(NaOH or KOH)
- hydrolysed to alcohol
