Reaction Mechanisms Flashcards
Aldehyde/Ketone + water with acid catalyst
Forms di-ol
Aldehyde/ketone with excess alcohol and acid catalyst
first a hemiacetal is formed
acid catalyses reaction between hemiacetal and alcohol to produce acetal
Aldehyde/ketone + NaBH4
alcohol
Aldehyde/ketone + 1.LiAlH4 2.H2O (acid catalyst)
alcohol
aldehyde/ketone + R’NH2
imine + water
acid chloride + alcohol
ester + HCl
acid chloride + RNH2
RNH replaces chlorine + HCl
acid chloride + deprotonated carboxylic acid
anhydride + Cl-
carboxylic acid with catalyst of SOCl2 or PCl5
acid chlorise
ester + OH
deprotonated carboxylic acid + alcohol
ester + water with acid catalyst
carboxylic acid + alcohol
rxn in equilibrium
anhydride + alcohol
ester + carboxylic acid
anhydride + amine
amide + carboxylic acid
alkene catalysed by H2 and Pd OR Pt OR Ni
alkane
alkene + HBr
firstly, bond becomes protonated giving an alkane with a positive charge
Br- attacks positive charge
alkene + water (acid catalyst)
firstly, bond becomes protonated giving an alkane with a positive charge
attacked by H2O to give an alcohol
alkene + Br2 or Cl2
dibromide or dichloride
electrophilic substituion: benzene with H2SO4 and HNO3
nitrobenzene
electrophilic substituion: benzene with Cl2 and FeCl3 OR AlCl3
chlorobenzene
Grignard Reagents: X = Cl, Br
R-X + MG
RMgX
RMgX + ketone/aldehyde (acid catalysed)
alcohol
RMgX + CO2 (acid catalysed)
RCOOH
