Nucleophile substitution reaction with hydroxide ions Flashcards
What condition does the reaction have to be under in a hydroxide ion nucleophile substitution
Warm aqueous sodium hydroxide ( source of hydroxide ions )
carried out under reflux (Reflux involves heating the chemical reaction for a specific amount of time, while continually cooling the vapour produced back into liquid form, using a condenser)
What happens when the C-X (carbon halogen)bond is broken in a hydroxide ion nucleophile substitution
Both electrons are transported to the halogen which forms a halide ion
A NEW BOND IS FORMED BETWEEN carbon and hydroxide ion
What type of organic compound / functional group is made in a hydroxide ion nucleophile substitution
alcohol (functional group OH)(
This is an example of a
hydrolysis reaction
