Organic Chem Reactions

Question 1

combustion

Answer 1

reaction that produces CO2 and water

Question 2

incomplete combustion

Answer 2

reaction that produces CO, C, CO2 and water

Question 3

substitution reactions

Answer 3

hydrogen atoms that can be replaced by a halogen atom
catalysts: heat, UV

Question 4

addition reactions

Answer 4

hydrogenation, halogenation, hydrohalogenation, hydration

Question 5

hydrogenation

Answer 5

w/ H2, turns an alkene/alkyne into an alkane

Question 6

halogenation

Answer 6

w/ Br2 or Cl2

Question 7

hydrohalogenation

Answer 7

w/ hydrogen halides (eg. HBr)

Question 8

hydration

Answer 8

w/ H2O

Question 9

Markovinikov’s rule

Answer 9

richer get richer, the atom with the most hydrogen bonds will recieve the H-atom

Question 10

esterfication

Answer 10

carboxylic acid + alcohol –> ester + water

Question 11

elimination reactions

Answer 11

eliminates a hydrogen and halide ion which creates a double bond, must have an OH ion present, results in an alkene, water and halide ion

Question 12

dehydration

Answer 12

results in C=C and H2O,
alcohol –> alkene + water
catalyst: H2SO4

Question 13

condensation

Answer 13

alcohol + alcohol –> ether + water

Question 14

oxidation

Answer 14

alcohol + [O] –> aldehyde/ketone + water

Question 15

primary alcohol undergoing oxidation

Answer 15

results in an aldehyde

Question 16

secondary alcohol undergoing oxidation

Answer 16

results in a ketone

Question 17

tertiary alcohol undergoing oxidation

Answer 17

N.R.

Question 18

ketone undergoing oxidation

Answer 18

N.R.

Question 19

hydrogenation (reduction)

Answer 19

C=O bond will undergo addition reaction with hydrogen to form an OH group, goes back into the flow chart

Question 20

alkyl halides to amines

Answer 20

alkyl halide + ammonia (NH3) –> 1 amine + HX
alkyl halide + 1 amine –> 2 amine + HX
alkyl halide + 2 amine –> 3 amine + HX

Question 21

amide

Answer 21

carboxylic acids + ammonia/ 1 or 2 amines –> amides + water
