Reactions Flashcards
Carboxylic acid + alcohol + strong acid catalyst, what is it called and what is formed?
Fischer esterification
Ester is formed
Benzene + HNO3 + H2SO4, what is it called and what is formed?
Nitrification of aromatic compounds
Benzene with added nitrate group
Primary alcohol + chromic acid, what is formed?
Aldehyde
Alkyl halide + alkoxide + methanol (solvent)
Williamson ether synthesis
Ether is formed
Ester + LiAlH4, what is formed?
Reduction of ester
What is formed when a hydro halogen attacks an alkene?
An alkane
Alkene + FB3 + H2O, what is formed and what type of reaction?
Polymerisation of a long alkane, it is cationic polymerisation.
Aldehyde + Grignard reagens?
Secondary alcohol, Grignard reaction
Ketone + gringard reagens?
Tertiary alcohol, Grignard reaction.
Aldehyde + alcohol?
Hemiacetal, then acetal
Ketone + alcohol?
Hemiketal, then ketal
Reduction of aldehyde with NaBH4?
Primary alcohol
Reduction of ketone with NaBH4?
Secondary alcohol
Aldehyde/ketone (Enolate ion) + aldehyde/ketone?
Aldol formation
Alcohol + (acid + nucleophile eg HBr)
Substitution reaction, alkyl halide is formed
Carboxylic acid + alcohol + strong acid catalyst
Fischer esterification, ester is formed. (esters can also be formed from acyl chloride, which is more reactive because cl is a better leaving group).
Ester + alcohol?
other type of ester is formed, transesterification
Epoxide ring + nucleophile + acid catalyst
Epoxide ring opening, alcohol is formed after protonation. In acidic conditions, the more substituted end is attacked.
Carboxylic acid + SOCl2?
Formation of acyl chloride, a very reactive derivative of carboxylic acids.
Acyl chloride + alkoxide (deprotonated alcohol)?
Ester is formed
Acyl chloride + deprotonated carboxylic acid?
Anhydride synthesis
Ester + amine?
Amide synthesis
2 equivalents of (usually) the same ester?
Claisen condensation, another type of ester is formed
Ester + LiAlH4
Reduction of esters, alcohol is formed.
Amide + LiAlH4
Reduction of amides, amine is formed
