Organic Reaction Catalyst Flashcards
Combustion
Sufficient oxygen for a complete reaction
Hydrogenation
- Organic solvent
- Pt, Pd or Ni catalyst
Halogenation
Use bromine solution
bromine changes from yellow to colourless quickly without energy in alkenes
easy to break pi bond
Hydration
steam (water)
and phosphoric acid
Hydrohalogenation
NO WATER CAN BE PRESENT
Free Radical Halogenation
UV Light or Heat (more energy than a halogenation)
Bromine breaks down slowly with more energy because it’s hard to break sigma bond
Hydrolylis
Heat with reflux
diluted NaOH(aq) - water is present
Dehydration
Heat
concentrated sulphuric acid
or phosphoric acid
or pumic or Al2O3
Dehydrohalogenation
Heat, concentrated NaOH or KOH
in ethanol
NO WATER
Cracking
Thermal cracking (High P and T no catalyst)
Catalyctic cracking (lower T and P with catalyst
Esterification
Concentrated sulphuric catalyst
