Hlogenoalnes Flashcards
What is a halagenoalkane
It is an alkane with a halogen attached
What is the general formula?
CnH2n+1X
Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
Primary has one carbon attached the carbon a adjoined to the halogen
Secondary has two carbon attached to the carbon adjoint to the halogen
Tertiary has three carbons attached to the carbon joint to the halogen
What are the two types of reactions that halogenoalkanes go under
Nucleophilic. substitution and elimination
what is a nucleophile
Electron pair Donatir
Nucleophilic substitution with AQS hydroxide ions
What is the change in functional group?
The reagent
The condition
And the mechanism
It goes from halogenoalkane to an alcohol
Potassium hydroxide
AQS solution under reflux
Nuclear substitution
Nucleophilic substitution with cyanide ions
What is the change in functional group?
The reagent
The condition
And the mechanism
Halogenoalkane into nitrile
Potassium cyanide dissolved in ethanol or water
Heated under reflux
Nucleic substitution
Nucleophilic substitution with Ammonia ions
What is the change in functional group?
The reagent
The condition
And the mechanism
Halogenoalkane into amine
NH three dissolved in alcohol
Heated under pressure
Nucleophilic substitution
What is an elimination reaction?
It is the removal of small molecules from the organic molecule
Elimination with alcoholic hydroxide ion
Change in functional group
Reagent
Condition
Mechanism
Type of reagent
Halogenoalkane into alkene
Potassium hydroxide
Ethanol
Elimination
Base
Aqueous is usually
Substitution
Alcoholic is usually
Elimination
What is ozone?
It is formed naturally in the upper atmosphere and is beneficial as it absorbs uv radiation
What are cfcs
Chloroflurocarbons
What did cfcs do to the ozone layer
Formed holes
