reaction pathways Flashcards
dehydration
what are the conditions and products for the oxidation of a primary alcohol under reflux
conditions: (K2CR2O7+H2SO4)
products: carboxylic acid + water
what is the colour change for the oxidation of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols
orange to green for primary and secondary
colours remains orange for tertiary
what are the conditions and products for the oxidation of a secondary alcohol
conditions: (K2Cr2O7+H2SO4)
products ketone + water
under reflux
what are the conditions and reactions for the oxidation of a primary alcohol under distil
conditions: (K2Cr2O7+water)
products: aldehyde and water
what are the conditions for free radical substitution
UV light
what is an oxidising agent
an oxidising agent takes electrons from species that are being oxidised.
what are the conditions and products for the dehydration of alcohols
conditions: (H3PO4) reflux 180 C
products: alkenes
what is a nucleophile
an electron pair donor
what is an electrophile
an electron pair acceptor
what are the conditions of turning an alcohol to a haloalkane
HX NaBr H2SO4
conditions for turning a alkane to a haloalkane
halogen and UV light (free radical)
conditions for turning an alkene to a haloalkane
hydrogen halide (HCl, HBr, HI) and room temp
conditions for turning an alkene to alcohol
steam, H3PO4 65 atm 300 C
steam can be written as H20 (g)
conditions for esterification
conc H2SO4, 80 C also makes water
