organic chem and analysis Flashcards
why was kekules model incorrect
benzene doesn’t decolourise bromine water
has a much less exothermic enthalpy change of hydrogenation than expected
what are the conditions for nitration of benzene?
50ºC
concentrated acids
conc H2SO4 catalyst
what are examples of a halogen carrier catalyst?
AlCl3
FeCl3
AlBr3
FeBr3
What are examples of election donating groups?
OH
NH2
CH3
What do election donating groups do?
Donate electron density into the pi system
Make it more reactive
Activate electrophile attack
Direct incoming electrophile to Carbon 2 and 4
What is an example of an electron withdrawing group?
NO2
What do election withdrawing groups do?
Remove electron density from the pi system
Make it less reactive
Deactivate electrophile attack
Direct incoming electrophiles to carbon 3
What is carbon position 2/6 called
Ortho
What is carbon position 3/5 called
Meta
What is carbon position 4 called?
Para
what are examples of stationary phase in TLC?
silica
alumina
What is the stationary phase in gas chromatography?
Long coiled column, usually a non volatile liquid
What is the mobile phase in gas chromatography?
Inert carrier gas
Eg helium, nitrogen
what is the test for alkenes?
shake w orange bromine water
addition reaction takes place
decolourises bromine water
what is the test for haloalkanes?
warm the haloalkane with NaOH in a mixture of ethanol and water
haloalkane will undergo nucleophilic substitution and release the halide ion into solution
acidify sample of halide ion w dilute nitric acid to remove carbonate ions
add silver nitrate
forms silver halide ppt
AgCl - white
AgBr - cream
AgI - yellow
