Lecture 6 - Identification of common functional groups and drawing Flashcards
What is wrong with this drawing?
Carbon has Sp3 hybridisation, with a bond angle of 109.5. This makes drawing does not represent that and makes the bond angle look 90 degrees.
Give 5 ways of drawing ethanol
What is -R?
alkyl group
What is -Ar
aromatic group
Draw alcohol
Draw aldehyde
Draw aldehyde
What is another name for ethanal?
Acetaldehyde
Draw carboxylic acid
What are two other names for ethanoic acid?
acetic acid and vinegar
How do we get from an alcohol to an aldehyde?
oxidation
How do we get from an aldehyde to a carboxylic acid?
oxidation
draw an ester- methyl ester
How do we get an ester?
condensation reaction between carboxylic acid and alcohol.
What is the hybridisation of carbon in an ester?
Sp2 hybridised, trigonal planar shape, 120 bond angle.
