How do you get an optical isomer
When 4 diff groups attach to a carbon
How to differentiate between optical isomers
Same physical and chemical properties, except they rotate a plane of polarised light differently ( equal and opp directions)
Addition
Hydration (h20)- alcohol
Hydrogenation (h2/pt) -alkane
Halogenation (Br2/cl2)- haloalkane
Elimination
Alcohol-alkene
Haloalkane- alkene (HCI/HBR)
Oxidation
1 alc- aldehyde-carboxylic acid (H+ Cr2O7-2)
Aldehyde- carboxylic acid
Reduction
Aldehyde- 1 alc (NaBH4)
Ketone- 2 alc
Substitution acyl Chloride (all hydrolysis)
- carboxylic acid (h20)
- ester (alc)
-1 amide (NH3 alc)
-2 amide (amine)
Ester
- amide + alc (NH3/alc)
- carboxylic acid + alc (h+/ h20) - acid hydrolysis
- carboxy acid salt (naoh) base hydrolysis’
Amide
- carboxylic acid (HCI) acid hydro
- acid salt (Noah) base
Carboxylic acid
- ester ( alc H2SO4) esterfication
- acyl chloride (socl2)
Explain hydrolysis àmino acids
Water is used to break the peptide bond into amino acids. Acid hydrolysis uses a dilute acid such as sulphuric acid and base hydrolysis uses a weak base like NaOH. Both require heat under reflux. in acidic conditions the nh2 group is protonated and in basic conditions. The COOH group is deprotonated.
Distillation
Separating/purifying products from reactants using different boiling points
Reflux
Speeds up/causes an organic reaction to occur without losing volatile compounds
Alkene- diol
Oxidation, H+/MN04
