Q

Tollen’s

A

AgNo3(aq) and NaOH(aq) forms a brown ppt of Ag2O
Add dilute ammonia until ppt disappears
Add unknown solution –> silver mirror= aldehyde

NB: Ag is reduced to Ag(s)
- Aldehyde is oxidised to Carboxylic acid

Q

Making Primary Amines

haloalkane + NH3 in ethanol, then reflux in NaOH

A

CH3CH2CH2Cl + NH3 –> CH3CH2CH2NH3+Cl- (forms a salt)

CH3CH2CH2NH3+Cl- + NaOH –> CH3CH2CH2NH2 + NaCl + H2O

Q

Ketone/Aldehyde –> Hydroxinitrile

A

NUCLEOPHILIC ADDITION!!!!

remember, HCN is produced in situ
2NaCN + H2SO4 –> 2HCN + Na2SO4
