_________ addition occurs in alkenes/alkynes
Electrophilic
_________ addition occurs in aldehydes/ketones
Nucleophilic
p1 mechanism is also known as
a-ß or 1,2 elimination
p2 mechanism is also known as
a-elimination or 1,1 elimination
A common name for ethanol is
Spirit of wine
Catalysts used for dehydration of alcohols (Alcohol —> Alkene + water)
H2SO4
H3PO4
Al2O3
P4O
Rate of reaction of alcohols in order of slowest to fastest
Primary < Secondary < Tertiary
%ages of H2SO4 needed fro each º of alcohol
Primary: 75%
Secondary: 60%
Tertiary: 20%
Temperature needed for each º of alcohol
Primary: 140-170º
Secondary: 100º
Tertiary: 80º
Temperature for hydrogenation reaction with Ni catalyst
250º-300º
Temperature for hydrogenation reaction with Pt/Pd
25º
Identification test for Alkene
Bromination (brown becomes colorless)
What is Visceral dihalide also known as
Dutch liquid (bc its oily)
Order of hydrohalogens
HF «_space;HCL < HBR < HI
Order of stability of º hydrohalogens (HX)
Tertiary > Secondary > Primary (because tertiary has 3 e- donating groups)
What is Markonikov’s law
When assymetrical, the partial positive is added to the C with more Hydrogens (pos = more)
What is Karasch rule? What is it also called?
Its the anti Markonikov rule, and adds the opposite way when a peroxide is present. Its also known as the Peroxide effect.
Catalyst used for polymerization
TiCl4 or Al(C2H5)3
Baeyer’s test
Add KMnO4. If purple to colorless, that means alkene is present.
Alkene + KMnO4 —>
glycol
What is ozonalysis for
Checks position of double bond
Alkene + ozone —>
Monozonide (highly unstable) —> ozonide
Ozonide + H2O and Zn —>
Aldehyde/Ketone
