Organic Reactions Level 3 Flashcards
Aldehyde + acidic oxidizing agent –>
Carboxylic acid
(H+/Cr2O72- or H+/Mn04-)
Oxidation reaction
Aldehyde + alkaline oxidizing agent –>
Carboxylic acid salt
(Tollens reagent, alkaline Ag+ OR fehlings or benedicts reagent, alkaline Cu2+)
Oxidation reaction
Aldehyde + reducing agent –>
1° alcohol
(NaBH4 or LiAH4) + reflux
Reduction reaction
Ketone + reducing agent –>
2° alcohol
(NaBH4 or LiAlH4) + reflux
Reduction reaction
Alcohol + carboxylic acid –>
Ester + water
Needs heat
Condensation
Alcohol + acid chloride –>
Ester + HCl
Needs room temp
Condensation
Alcohol + conc H2SO4 –>
Alkene + water
Needs 200° and reflux
Elimination
Alcohol + halogenation reagent –>
Haloalkane
Reagent = SOCl2, PCl3, PCl5, PBr3
Substitution
Ester + H+ cation/water –>
Carboxylic acid + alcohol
Reflux
Hydrolysis
Ester + OH- cation/water–>
Carboxylic acid salt + alcohol
Reflux
Hydrolysis
1° alcohol –> (heating, no reflux)
Aldehyde + ion (use simple distillation)
(H+/Cr2O72- or H+/Mn04-)
Oxidation
1° alcohol –> (reflux)
Carboxylic acid
(H+/Cr2O72- or H+/Mn04-)
Oxidation
1° or 2° amines +Acid chloride–>
Amide + HCl gas
Condensation
Amine + Carboxylic Acid or HCl–>
Ammonium salt (conjugate acid and base of each)
Acid-base reaction
Amine + RX –>
Higher Amine + HX
Heat and sealed tube
