Mechanisms Flashcards
What is the name of the mechanism when Bromine reacts with an alkene?
Electrophillic Addition
The reactants of electrophillic addition reactions?
-Alkene
-Bromine
-HBr
-Sulfuric Acid
What is the name of the mechanism when HBr reacts with an alkene?
Electrophillic addition
What is the name of the mechanism when Sulfuric acid reacts with an alkene?
Electrophillic addition
What is the name of the mechanism when an alkene is formed?
Elimination
What is the name of the mechanism when :OH- reacts with a Halogenoalkane(in ethanol)?
Elimination
Where does the :OH- come from in an elimination reaction?
KOH/Potassium Hydroxide
What is the catalyst for the elimination of Alcohol->Alkene
Conc Sulfuric acid or Conc Phosphoric acid
What are the conditions for the hydration of ethene to form an alcohol?
-Conc Phosphoric acid
-300°C
-60atm
What are the conditions for an elimination reaction?
Dissolved in ethanol
What are the three ions in nucleophilic substitution?
-Hydroxide/:OH-
-Cyanide/-NC:
-Ammonia/:NH3
What are the three steps of free radical substitution?
1)Initiation (UV light)
2)Propagation
3)Termination
Which molecules undergo nucleophilic addition?
-Aldehydes
-Ketones
Why in nucleophilic addition is there a dipole on the C=O?
As O is more electronegative so electron cloud is more concentrated on the oxygen
Where does the H+ come from in nucleophilic addition?
-When H+ reacts -> Water or Weak acid
-When CN reacts -> Sulfuric acid
