Chem test 1-2 Flashcards
ethers - H bonding
cannot be the H bonding donor, no H bonding within themselves,
R-O-R
ether
low boiling point
ether
common ether naming
di alkyl ether
CH3-O-CH3
dimethyl ether
alkoxy group
It’s just any alkyl group bonded to an oxygen. R-O-R
CH3-O
methoxy
when naming alkoxy
first R is the smaller alkyl group, then oxy, then the larger alkane name
CH3CH2-O-CH3 name…
methoxy ethane
only consider iso goes..
alphabetically
anisol (ana at ochsha)
benzene with OCH3 on very top
in dehydration reaction, you need to take the H from (Don’t dehydrate your neighbor)
the C NOT attached to the OH group -
oxidation is…(definition)
increase in the number of C-O bonds, or decreases the number of C-H bonds
in oxidation, you take the H from (give your neighbor oxygen)
the C attached to the O
in dehydration of alcohol, the product is
H20
for dehydration of alcohol, all you are doing is..
getting rid of the OH, and getting rid of one H on either of the adjacent carbons attached to the OH.
aldehyde functional group (chew the hyde)
CHO - the O can be a double bond
ketone functional group
C=O
you can only oxidize
primary and secondary alcohols
