Q

soluble organic compounds do not (water doesn’t do what)

A

conduct electricity

36
Q

when naming ethers..

A

divide on each side of the 0 - the longer chain is the parent, ie ethane, and the shorter is the oxy, methoxy. Full IUPAC name is methoxy ethane

37
Q

diene

A

2 double bonds - can be used for cyclo or line - any type

38
Q

when is Ccl4 or CH2Cl2 used as a solvent?

A

halogenation

39
Q

how to tell if you have a symmetric or unsymmetric alkene

A

look at the number of Hs on each side of the bond, and if they are different, it’s unsymmetric. ie - CH = CH2 - this is unsymmetric

40
Q

boiling point - trans alkenes

A

have lower boiling points and higher melting points

41
Q

boiling point - cis alkenes (cis mad)

A

generally more polar and less symmetrical, have higher boiling points and lower melting points

42
Q

alkenes and alkynes are more or less dense than water?

A

less

43
Q

rearrangement reactions

A

usually just moving the bond to a different spot or changing cis to trans

44
Q

rearrangement reactions

A

usually just moving the bond to a different spot or changing cis to trans

45
Q

in nitration of benzene

A

any H is replaced by NO2 and it becomes the benzene ring w/ NO2 + HOH or H20

46
Q

if asked to polymeryze just

A

change double bond to single bond and leave the 2 at the end empty - no hydrogens

47
Q

catalyst for nitration of benzene is (nitrate needs sulfuric)

A

H2SO4

48
Q

halogenation with Br the catalyst is

A

FeBr3

49
Q

halogenation with Cl the catalyst is

A

FeCl3

50
Q

with the benzene reactions

A

you’re going to be adding 2 - Brs or 2 Cls etc. Remember one is left over after one is added to the ring - so the product is the benzene ring w/ Br attached + H - Br

51
Q

to predict the polymerization or polymer, just..

A

change the double bond to a single bond and put the substituents on the top and bottom - repeat and put it in brackets with a little n at the bottom right corner. AND name it “poly something” like polystymer

52
Q

Diastereomers

A

two molecules with the same molecular formula and same connections. They are non-superimposable non-mirror images of each other

53
Q

common name for ether

A

alkyl alkyl ether

54
Q

IUPAC naming of ether

A

alkoxy - larger alkyl is the parent chain, smaller one is the oxy. ie methoxy ethane

55
Q

naming of ethers if you use oxy

A

you NEED to number the alkyl if it’s larger than 1. ie - 2-methoxy propane (the methyl group is on C # 2)

56
Q

even if the connections are different, molecules in a different order, etc. the are

A

ISOMERS. If it’s the same number, it’s an isomer

57
Q

even if the double bond is on a completely different molecule, it’s..

A

an ISOMER

58
Q

REMEMBER, if there is 2 or 3 alcohols (OHs) name it…

A

diol or triol - ex. butanetriol

59
Q

constitutional isomers can..

A

be the same even if one has a double bond and the other doesn’t, as long as they have the same # of Cs and Hs.

60
Q

xylene

A

benzene w/ 2 CH3s attached. Remember to use O,M, P

61
Q

3 reactions with aromatics (SHN - aroma)

A

sulfonication, nitration and halogenation

62
Q

OHCH2CH2OH

A

ethylene glycol

63
Q

reactions of alcohols

Q

OH has priority over

A

SH

74
Q

if SH is a substituent on a cylco, call it

A

mercapto, not thiol

75
Q

if you have a double bond and SH, number the..

A

double bond first - 2-butene (double bond on the 2) 1-thiol (SH on 1)

76
Q

benzyl (my methyl)
