Oxidation Of Cyclohexanol To Cyclohexanone Flashcards
What are the reactants
The reactants are cyclohexanol sodium hypochlorite and acetic acid
What are the products
The products are cyclohexanone hydrogen chloride water and sodium acetate
Cyclohexanol precaution
Irritation
Cyclohexanone precaution
Flammable
Glacial acetic acid precaution
Flammable
Why RN a OCL and glacial acetic acid used in the preparation of cyclohexanone
They are used because NAOCL is the oxidizing agent and acetic acid is the catalyst
What is the purpose of using NaOCl3
The purpose of using it is to neutralize any remaining acetic acid
What is the common name for NAHC03
The common name is baking soda
What is the purpose of using NAHS03
The purpose is to neutralize any remaining oxidizing agent
What is the common name or NAHS03
The common name is sodium bisulfite
Define salting out
Salting out is the organic compound is much less soluble in a solution with high ionic strength
Define oxidation
Is the increasing number of CO bonds and the decreasing number of CH bonds
Define reduction
Is the decreasing number of CO bonds and increasing the number of CH bonds
What physical property is used to separate cyclohexanone from an unreacted cyclohexanol?
Density and solubility
Is there an HMNR signal for CO bond in cyclohexanone
No there are no signals or the CO bond in cyclohexanone because there are no hydrogen attached to this area
