Examen 1 Flashcards
contains a hydroxy group (OH) bonded to an sp3 hybridized carbon
alcohols
hydroxy group on a sp2 hybridized carbon
enols and phenols
two alkyl groups bonded to an oxygen atom
ethers
- ethers having the oxygen atom in a three membered ring
- also called oxiranes
- have angle strain, making them more reactive than ethers
epoxides
have a bent shape like in H2O
alcohols and ethers
both polar with a 109.5 angle
C-O and O-H bonds
alcohols, ethers, and epoxides exhibit
dipole-dipole interactions
alcohols are more polar than ethers and epoxides
intermolecular hydrogen bonding
affect hydrogen bonding
steric factors
the _____ the intermolecular forces, the ______ the boiling point or melting point
stronger; higher
boiling ponts _______ as the extent of hydrogen bonding _______
increase
alcohols, ethers, and epoxides having less than 5 carbons are
soluble
CH3OH
extremely toxic
methanol
(CH3)2CHOH
major component of rubbing alcohol
2- propanol
HOCH2CH2OH
major component of antifreeze
ethylene glycol
yield ethanol and form usable fuels
hydrolysis of starch and fermentation
a crown ether- cation complex is called
the crown ether is the HOST and the cation is the GUEST
host-guest complex
the ability of a host molecule to bind specific guest is called
molecular recognition
the ability of crown ethers to complex cations can be exploited in
- the relatively unsolvated anion is extremely nucleophilic
nucleophilic substitution reactions
alcohols and ethers are both common products of
nucleophilic substitution
un alcoxido reacciona con un haluro de alquilo
less hindered path is preferred
Williamson ether synthesis
para desabotonar un alcohol se necesita una
base fuerte
is needed to make an ether
alkoxide salt
organic compounds that contain both a hydroxy group and a halogen atom on adjacent carbons
halohydrins
in halohydrins, an _____ version of the Williamson ether synthesis can occur to form epoxides
intramolecular
OH is a ___ leaving group
very poor
base débil o estable
buen grupo saliente
protonates the bad leaving groups and makes them good leaving groups
strong acid
a beta elimination reaction in which the elements of OH and H are removed from the alpha and beta carbons respectively
- typically carried out using H2SO4 and other strong acids
dehydration
more substituted alcohols dehydrate more
easily
en una reacción de eliminación, se favorece la formación del alqueno mas sustituido
regla de zaitsev
the more substituted alkene is the ______ product when a mixture of constitutional isomers is possible
major
