FUNCTIONAL GROUPS 2 Flashcards
What are the three ways to extend the carbon chain?
1) Using a cyanide ion - requires and Alkyl halide.
2) Alkanide ion ( Alkyne + NaNH2)
3) Grinyards Reagent RMgBr + Keytone or aldehyde = Tertiary alcohol.
What are the 3 broad ways of producing an alcohol?
- Alkene/ Alkyl halide
- Strong nucleophilic addition
- Weak nucleophilic addition
What is alkyl halide hydrolysis?
R-X + OH- –> Alcohol
What is alkene addition to form alcohols?
Alkene + H2O/ H+ –> Alcohol
What reactant causes reverse markovnikov major and minor products?
BH3
What results from aldehyde + NaBH4 2. H3O+
Primary alcohol
What results from keytone + NaBH4 2. H3O+
Secondary alcohol
What results from ester + NaBH4 2. H3O+
primary alcohol
RMgX + aldehyde
Primary (methanal) or secondary alcohol
RMgX + Keytone
Tertiary alcohol
What is the reagent role of KOH/ NaOH
Alkyl halide –> alkene + HX
What is the reagent role of H2/Pt
Alkyne or alkene –> alkane
What is the catalyst role of diethyl ether?
Alkene + acid –> alkyl halide
What is the catalyst role of H+
Alkene + Water –> alcohol
Alkene + alcohol –> ether
What is the catalyst role of Li/Liq NH3 + H2O
Alkyne –> E-alkene
