Reactions Flashcards
HYDRATION
-Write the simple equation for this
alkene + water = alcohol
HYDRATION
-How do you do these reactions?
- Break double bond
- OH goes to carbon & H goes to the other
DEHYDRATION
-Write the simple equation for this
alcohol - water = alkene
DEHYDRATION
-In this case you are removing water from (the same/different) molecule
The same
DEHYDRATION
-What happens to the bonds
The single bond becomes a double bond
DEHYDRATION
-How do you do these types of reactions?
- One carbon loses H and the other loses OH
- Double bond between the two carbons
DEHYDROGENATION
-Describe how the bonds change
You go from an alkane to an alkene
DEHYDROGENATION
-What happens here?
You lose 2 hydrogen atoms so it becomes an alkene
OXIDATION
-What is this?
Losing hydrogens or gaining oxygens
OXIDATION
-Can tertiary alcohols be oxidized?
No
OXIDATION
-What is an example of an oxidation reaction?
Dehydrogenation
HYDROGENATION
-Describe how to bonds change
You go from an alkene to an alkane
HYDROGENATION
-What happens here?
You break the double bond by adding 2 hydrogen atoms
What is the difference between hydration and hydrogenation?
In hydrogenation you add two hydrogens, while in hydration you are adding a water
REDUCTION
-What is this?
Gaining hydrogens or losing oxygens
REDUCTION
-What is an example of a reduction reaction?
Hydrogenation
A carboxylic acid is made by the ____ of an aldehyde
oxidation
DECARBOXYLATION
-What happens here?
COOH is replaced by a hydrogen, becoming CO2 on the products side
CONDENSATION REACTIONS
-What happens with these reactions?
You remove H from one molecule and OH from a different molecule, which will become water on the products side. Then join the molecules
CONDENSATION REACTIONS
-Where do you remove H from?
oxygen or nitrogen
CONDENSATION REACTION
-Where do you remove the OH from?
carbon
ETHER CONDENSATION
-What is the equation for this?
alcohol + alcohol = ether + water
ETHER CONDENSATION
-How do you do this?
Remove OH from one side and H from the other
