29
Q

what is organic synthesis

A

using reaction mechanisms to produce target product from starting molecule

30
Q

why do chemists try to design section mechanisms that do not require a solvent

A

solvents are difficult to remove from reaction mixture and can cause loss of percentage yield and costly

31
Q

why do chemists designprocesses with as few steps as possible

A

less energy used and better yield

less wastage

32
Q

Suggest why chemists usually aim to design production methods with a high percentage atom economy

A

Less waste OR Less pollution
OR maximises the use of raw materials in the process into useful products, saves resources

33
Q

percentage atom economy

A

mr of desired products/ over total products x 100

34
Q

what does tin and HCL reduce

A

NO2 to NH2

35
Q

How does nickel catalyst work

A

Nickel catalysts, on the other hand, are often used in hydrogenation reactions where hydrogen gas (H2) is added to unsaturated bonds (e.g., C=C double bonds) to form saturated bonds (e.g., single C-C bonds).
