nomenclature, contd Flashcards
1
Q
ranking of substituent groups
A
alcohol > alkene > halogen > alkyl group
2
Q
electrophile in alcohols vs alkyl halides
A
- alcohols: O-H hydrogen
- carbon: CH3 carbon
3
Q
solubility of chloroalkanes
A
- no H-bonding so don’t dissolve well in water
- polar organic solvents!!
4
Q
boiling point trend with fluorine substituents
A
- fluorine is very small and polar
- little LDFs due to small size
- permanent dipoles (more DDFs) are more important/stronger than induced dipoles!
5
Q
E and Z stereoisomers
A
- alkenes have cis and trans isomers (but no enantiomers)
- Z: high priority groups cis
- E: high priority groups trans
