Organic chemistry mix Flashcards
Alcohols (butan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, 2-methylpropan-2-ol) oxidised with acidified potassium dichromate, identify products
Types of alcohols
How to identify which compound can exist as optical isomer?
Chiral C - central with 4 different domains
Reaction of halogenoalkanes and aq NaOH
What type of compound has min 3 C?
Ketone
Determinants of Sn1/Sn2 rate
Sn1 - 1 determinant - 2/3 halogenalkene conc
Sn2 - 2 determinants - 1/2 halogenalkane conc + nucleophile conc
How to identify which compound can show optical activity
Optical activity - bends polarised light
What are the types of polymers?
- addition polymers (polyalakanes)
- condensation polymers (polyesters, proteins)
Why Cl-C-C-C-Cl cannot be synthesised from C2H4?
Incomplete conbustion of hydrocarbon products
CO and C
How to dinstinguish whoch one is better LG?
- The larger the ion - the better LG
- The lower EN - the easier to leave
Define homologous series
Differ by CH2 group (all alkanes are homologous
Which will form positive ion?
CH3CH2CH2Br + OH or (CH3)3CBr + OH
(CH3)3CBr because tertiary halogenalkane - Sn1 - in Sn1 carbocation - positive ion
Orange to green in organic chem
Reduction of potassium dichromate
Types of halogenalkanes
C2H4 -> CH3CH2OH type of reaction
Hydration (addition of H2O)
CH3CH2OH -> CH3COOH type of reaction
oxidation
Functional group isomers
Alkanes -> alkenes/alkynes/halogenalkanes/cycloalkanes/alcohols
alkenes -> alkynes
Alcohols -> ethers
Carboxylic acid -> esters
