Organic Chem- Further Reactions Of Alcohols Flashcards
1
Q
Conditions and reaction of dehydration of butan-2-ol
A
Heat plus sulfuric/phosphoric acid
Butan-2-ol—
2
Q
Why are both cis and trans possible for most of these reactions??
A
Because an alkene is made
3
Q
What determines the product of dehydration??
A
Which side of the OH group the second Hydrogen is take from
4
Q
General formula for substitution reactions of alcohols with halogen-Hydrogen molecules??
A
ROH + HX-> RX +H2O
5
Q
Which alcohol structure reacts fastest and why??
A
Tertiary alcohol because it has 3 pairs of electrons pushing into the carbocation, which makes it the most stable and easiest to attract the halogen
