32
Q

What does ________ do
TsCl
——>
Pyr

A

the Ts replaces the H of an OH group (to be later replaced by another Nu)

33
Q

how are bicyclo compounds named

A
  1. bridghead recieves C1

2. Numbers in parentheses indicate how many carbons are between the two bridgeheads

34
Q

what things give positive tests with Br2/CCl4 and cold dilute KMnO4

A

things with double bonds (benzene doesn’t count, the double bonds are not normal due to resonance hybridization)

35
Q

how many products can the chlorination of 2 methylbutane

A

6 (including stereoisomers)

36
Q
which things favor which type of reaction
Nucleophilic substitution
Nucleophilic addition
Electophilic addition
electrophilic substitution
A

Esters and amides do Nu substitution
Aldehydes and ketones do Nu addition
alkenes and alkynes do electrophilic addition
aromatic compounds usually do electrophilic substitution

37
Q

What does _____ do
LiAlH4, Et2O
——————->
H3O+

A
  1. reduces aldehydes to primary alcohols
  2. reduces ketones to secondary alcohols
  3. esters into primary alcohols
  4. carboxylic acids into primary alcohols
  5. doesn’t reduce double or triple bonds
38
Q

what happens when you react an aldehyde with a amide

A

the carbonyl carbon of the aldehyde double bonds to the Nitrogen of the amide

39
Q

what does K2Cr2O7/H do to a secondary alcohol

A

turns it into a ketone

40
Q

what does (R)3 P+ -CH2/ DMSO do to a carbonyl

A

replaces the O with the R group

41
Q

what does B2H2, THF / H2O2, OH- do to a double bond

A

anti markovnikov addition of OH to the double bond

42
Q

What does 1) CH3 MgBr / 2) H3O+ do with esters

A

2 moles of the grignard will react with it to form a tertiary alcohol

43
Q

what is a lactone

A

a cyclic ester

44
Q

What happens when an aldehyde is reacted with dilute acid or a base

A

if it has alpha hydrogens it will do aldol condensation

45
Q

What will Cl2(excess) /OH- do to a carbonyl

A

it will replace all of the alpha hydrogens

46
Q

When can heating carboxylic acids result in decarboxylation

A

only when you heat a beta-keto acid (a carboxylic acid on the beta carbon of a Ketone)

47
Q

what kind of reaction is a double dehydrohalogenation

A

E2

48
Q

would R-CN be replaced by I- in a reaction

A

nope

49
Q

What does a large sterically hindered base do to a carbonyl

A

it will remove the most accessable alpha H

50

ion
