Q

Resolution process

A

A process that seperates enantiomers using a chiral column

17
Q

What type of carbon would be most reactive in a radical reaction

Least reactive?

A

3 Tertiary - just has 1 hydrogen

Tertiary won’t react because there are no Hydrogens to pull off

18
Q

Monohalogenation rules

A

I is selective

Br is selective, only tertiary carbons

Cl is not selective

F are reactive, not selective, so any type of carbon works. In fact, if there are 2 primary carbons (CH3) and one secondary carbon (CH2), you’ll see more F on primary carbons

19
Q

Given than benzene molecules with symmetry pack better in a crystalline structure raising the melting point, which of the following would have the greatest melting point?

ortho, para, or meta dichlorobenzene

A

Para has 2 axis of symmetry, ortho and meta has only one. Para dichlorobenzene will have the greatest melting point

20
Q

Electron donating groups

A

Can be recognized by the lone pairs on the atom atjacent to the p system

OMe, NH2, OH, OR,

Weakly activating: -CH=CR2

Activate: Ortho, Para

Adds e- density=makes it more nucleophilic

21
Q

Electron Withdrawing

A

Can be recognized either by adjacent atom to the p system having several bonds to more electronegatie atoms OR having a formal + charge

Deactivating groups direct META

EXCEPT Halogens, which deactivate but direct ORTHO, PARA

Removes e- density=makes it less nucleophilic

NO2

22
Q

When does a hydride shift occur?

A

It occurs when the carbocation formed is primary and there is the ability to shift to a more stable secondary or tertiary carbocation.

23
Q

What happens when an alcohol is treated with sulfuric acid?

A

OH becomes protonated

H2O leaves, creating carbocation

H from adjacent carbon pulls off to donate e-, creating ALKENE

24
Q

Alkene + HBr rules

A

Markovnikov

Br- on most stable carbocation

25
Q

Alkene–>Alcohol

A

dilute acid and cold conditions

water in acid provides hydroxyl group

=Hydration

26
Q

What is the purpose of FeBr3 in the aromatic substitution of Br

A

Activates Br2 so electrons in benzene can attack the electrophile

Similar for AlCl3

27
Q

Friedal Crafts Acylation is an…

A

Substitution Reaction

Ketyl group substitutes for a Hydrogen on aromatic ring.

Aromatic Substitution Reaction

28
Q

Sn1 Reaction

A

Carbocation intermediate is formed

Mechanism has two steps

[electrohile] dependent

29
Q

What is the purpose of the ZnCl2 in the Lucas Reagent

A

To activate the alcohol and make it a better leaving group

30
Q

In reactions, if the carbocation can be stabilized, like by rings…

A

Would be a faster rate
