Name the mechanism and/or the reagents - Aliphatic Flashcards

Addition (followed by hydrolysis)
H2SO4 and then water and warm

Reduction
LiAlH4 in dry ether
OR
H2(g) Ni Catalyst

H2(g) Nickel catalyst 150°C 5atm pressure

nucleophilic addition
acidified KCN(aq)

Free radical substitution
Cl2 and UV

nucleophilic addition
acidified KCN(aq)

Oxidation
acidified K2Cr2O7 and reflux

Elimination
Hot concentrated KOH in ethanol
Protein → amino acids
Hydrolysis
Heat with 6 M hydrochloric acid for about 24 hours at 110°C.

nucleophilic substitutuion
Warm KOH(aq)

Polymerisation
Lots of condition!

Elimination (sometimes called dehydration)
H2SO4 Catalyst 180°C
How do you make biodiesel from an oil or fat?
methanol and NaOH catalyst

hydrolysis
reflux with H2SO4 catalyst
also makes acid as product

Electrophilic addition
H2SO4 then H2O and warm

Esterification
conc sulphuric acid catalyst with CH3CH2CH2OH
Note: has to be the exact structure rather than C3H7OH

Elimination
hot, concentrated KOH in ethanol

Nucleophilic substitution
excess ammonia
Remember: further substitutions possible so to make primary amine ammonia must be in excess!

Hydrolysis
Reflux with H+
Note: also produces the alcohol

esterification
add CH3CH2COOH and conc H2SO4 catalyst
Note: got to be unambiguous structure for acid

Nucleophilic substitution
NaOH(aq) reflux

Nucleophilic substitution
ammonia, Excess haloalkane
Remember that primary, secondary and teritary amines are also formed!

Elimination (dehydration)
reflux with concentrated H2SO4
Note you can also use conc phosphoric acid H3PO4

Oxidation
acidified K2Cr2O7 and reflux
