Organic Reactions Flashcards
what will undergo combustion?
all the organic families
substitution
an atom or group on the chain is replaced by another
which families participate in substitution and what do they substitue with
- alkanes with halogens
- aromatics with halogens
- aromatics with alkyl halide
- aromatics with nitric acid
- alchohols with hydrogen halide
- ethers with 2 binary acids
- preparing amines (ammonia) with alkyl halide
what is the catalyst for alkanes with halogens?
UV light
what are the products of alkanes and halogens?
haloalkane + hydrogen halide
what is the catalyst for aromatics with halogens?
FeBr3 or AlCl3
what are the products of aromatics with halogens?
halobenzene + hydrogen
what is the catalyst of aromatics with alkyl halide?
AlCl3
what are the products of aromatics with alkyl halide
alkyl beneze + hydrogen
where does the halogen go when added to the ring with the aromatic?
usually in the para or orho position
When adding an alkyl to the ring with the aromatic?
most likely put in the para or ortho position
what is the catalyst of aromatics with nitric acid?
sulphuric acid
what are the products of the aromatic with the nitric acid?
nitrobenzene + water
When adding another nitro to an aromatic ring where is it most likely to be put?
the meta position
what is the catalyst of alchohols with hydrogen halides
ZnCl2
what are the products of alchohols with hydrogen halides?
alkyl halide + water
if a hydrogen halide pairs with a primary alchohol when does the reaction occur?
only after heating
if a hydrogen halide pairs with a secondary alchohol when does the reaction occur?
within 5 minutes
