Q

Hydrogenation and cis products

occurs when alkene interacts with activated H atoms on the surface of a catalyst so the H atoms add to the same side of the double bond (called syn addition) resulting in cis product

38
Q

Mechanism of halogenations

A

the double bond attacks a halide while the halide attacks the carbon (looks like a circle) the one halide is connected to both carbons from the broken double bond
the other halide then attacks the backside of the positively charged halide breaking one of the halide carbon bonds resulting in each carbon for the double bond being single bonded to a halide in trans stereochemistry

39
Q

meso

A

superimposable –> if they were laid on top of each other they would be identical

40
Q

mechanism of hydrogenation

A

double bond breaks and the H attach bolded and with cis orientation –> the original substituents on the carbon double bond become dashed

41
Q

hydride shift

A

a hydrogen on an adjacent more highly substituted carbon moves to the cationic (+) carbon (hydride shifts are preferred over alkyl shifts)

42
Q

alkyl shift

A

if no hydrogens are on the adjacent carbon, an R group (like CH3) moves over to the positive carbon

43
Q

after a hydride or alkyl shift remember the C without a full octet has a

A

positive charge

44
Q

Naming alkynes

A

the parent chain has the suffix yne and is numbered with the lowest possible number
substituents end with yl unless they’re halogens in which case o ex: bromo

45
Q

if there is an alkene and an alkyne the parent chain is named with the suffix

A

enyne

46
Q

H2/Lindlar catalyst

A

reduces alkynes to cis alkenes

47
Q

Na/NH3 reagents

A

reduces alkynes to trans-alkenes with Trans Hydrogens

48
Q

H2/Pd(C) or H2/Pt catalysts

A

highly active catalysts and reduce alkynes to alkanes not stopping at alkenes

49
Q

Adding water to alkynes

A

add water across the triple bond to form the unstable enol

perform tautomerization that converts the enol into the carbonyl form

50
Q

tautomerization

A

proton transfer and double bond shift take place

the proton on oxygen transfers to the adjacent carbon while the double bond changes from C=C to C=O

51
Q

enol

A

alcohol-substituted alkene –> unstable and rapidly rearrange through tautomerization

52
Q

Markovnikov addition with oxymercuration reaction (no B)

A

OH adds to more substituted carbon

53
Q

anti-Markovnikov addition with borane reaction

A

OH adds to less substituted carbon

54
Q

creating alkynes

A

reactions require terminal alkyne and a very strong base (usually 2NaNH2 or 2NaOH)
the halides get kicked off and a triple bond is formed, if there is already a triple bond and youre using only a strong acid add an ethyl to the triple bond if there is a strong acid and a solvent add whatever CH(n) in the 2nd solvent to the triple bond
ex: NaNH2 and CH3Br add CH3 to the triple bond

55
Q

double dehydrohalogenation reactions

A

double-elimination reaction –> kicks off 2 halides and 2 H

56

57
Q

Sn2

A
prefers methyl and primary substrates
prefers less steric crowding 
no NH or OH bonds
good nucleophile needed
product has inverted stereochemistry
rate = k[substrate][nucleophile]
58
Q

secondary substrates

A

look for strength of nucleophile
negatively charged nucleophiles and strong bases (OH) are for Sn2
poor nucleophiles –> sn1

59
Q

E1

A
tertiary best secondary okay
weak base okay
has NH or OH bond
no stereochemistry requirements
rate=k[substrate]
60
Q

E2

A
all substrates okay
strong base needed
all solvents okay
antiperiplanar geometry required --> Ξ² -elimination
rate=k[substrate][base]
61

62
Q

A

E2

63
Q

two step elimination reaction

A

E1

64
Q

Naming alcohols

A

begin with normal naming rules, but number with the side that reaches OH first
parent chain ends in anol
assign stereo chemistry –> if a chiral center is shown number this before the substituents

65
Q

A

primary least –> tertiary most reactive

66
Q

Boiling point increases in alkyls…

A

stronger base –> strong nucleophile

78
