What is the tollens reagent
Ag(NH3)2
What does the tollens reagent Ag(NH3)2
they are oxidizing agents that convert aldehydes to acids
what is the equation for double bond equivalents
(2C + 2 - H - X + N) / 2
what reaction is caused by
PCC
——->
CH2Cl2
the oxidation of alcohol to an aldehyde or ketone
What is a grignard reagent
an RMgX
what does a grignard reagent do
the R group Nu attacks the Carbonyl carbon and attaches, forming an alcohol
What is an azeotrope
an azeotrope is a constant boiling mixture that is made up of substances in a certain ratio that simple distillation cannot separate
Where do radicals usually add
the most substituted carbon
how is conversion from glucose to fructose started
removal of the alpha H
what is a solvolysis reaction
when the solvent acts as a nucleophile
which has higher boiling points alcohols or ethers
alcohols
what is a constitutional isomer
same formula, different connectivity
what do electron withdrawing groups do to adjacent bases
make them less basic
which is more basic a lone pair in an sp3 or sp2 orbital
the lone pair in the sp3 orbital
What does ___ do
RCl
—–>
AlCl3
it adds the R (at least to benzene)
What does ____ do to a primary alkane
K2Cr2O7
————->
H3O+
converts it to a carboxylic acid
what does Br2/FeBr3 do
adds bromine
What does _____ do to benzene
HNO3
——–>
H2SO4
adds a nitro group
What are activating groups (electron donators)
2HN- (How nice of you to donate)
- OH (OH, you need some money)
- OR (OR i can give you food)
- R (Really, I’ll give you money
- aryl groups (Plate of food - its an aromatic group)
What are deactivating groups (electron withdrawers)
carbonyls SO3H (SO! I ain't giving you money) Cyanide (CN) is CNister NO2 (You want money, NO!) NR3 (No really, I'm not givin you money)
acivators and deactivators = o,p,m directors
Activators are OP directors
Deactivators are M directors
What does _______ do
I 2 excess
————–>
Oh-
it’s the haloform reaction
it removes a CH3 from a methyl ketone, replacing it with an O- group
what is heat of combustion
the heat required to break down the molecule
What does a high heat of combustion = less stability
because it does
Which has a higher heat of combusiton, the more or less substituted alkane
the less
What is the product of the claisen condensation
an anhydride
