Organic Chem Flashcards
Combustion
reaction of hydrocarbon with o2. Hydrocarbon + O2 => CO2 + H20 + energy. CO will form if combustion incomplete(limited o2)
Substitution reactions
Halogenation, Hydrolysis, Hydrogen Halide with alcohol
Addition reactions
Halogenation, Hydrogenation, Hydrohalogenation, Hydration
Elimination Reactions
Dehydration, Dehydrohalogenation, Cracking
Hydrogentation (Addition)
Hydrogen + Alkene/alkyne - alkane
Halogenation (Addition)
Halogen + alkene/alkyne - haloalkane
Hydrohalogenation (addition)
Hydrogen halide + alkene/alkyne - haloalkane (major and minor)
Hydration
water + alkene/alkyne - alcohol (major and minor)
Markovnikovs Rule (For addition reactions involving hydration and hydrohalegenation)
H atom attaches to C atom that already has the most H atoms to form major product
Zaitzevs rule(Dehydrohalogenation and Dehydration)
H atom removed from C atom that has least number of H atoms to form major product
dehydrohalogenation
haloalkane - NaX + alkene + water (Zaitzev) where x is a halogen. (If a different base is used it becomes BaseX)
Dehydration
alcohol - water + alkene (Zaitzev)
Cracking
alkane - alkane + alkene
Halogenation (Sub)
Alkane + halogen - haloalkane + hydrogen halide
Haloalkane hydrolysis (s)
haloalkane + H2O/NaOH/KOH - alcohol + HX/NaX/KX where X is the halogen
