REACTIONS Flashcards
Draw out the mechanism for halohydrin formation
refer to notes
product of dihydroxylation
vicinal diols aka glycol (alcohol attachments on adjacent carbons)
What factor determines the rate of SN1 reactions?
electronics- the stability of the carbocation
hydroboration/oxidation of alkynes is markov? non markov?
non markovnikov
What happens to stereochemistry in an SN1 reaction?
stereochemistry is lost (since there’s a 50-50 chance of the Nu attaching to a particular side) and so you must draw both enantiomers or indicate that the product is a racemic mixture
reagents of free radical halogenation of alkanes
Br2or Cl2 and heat or light
product of dissolving metal reduction
alkene
reagents of catalytic hydrogenation with lindlar’s catalyst
H2
Pd poisoned with Pb
halogenation of alkynes results in syn? anti?
anti
Draw out the mechanism for hydroboration/oxidation of alkynes
refer to notess
What happens to stereochemistry in an SN2 reaction?
stereochemistry is inverted
What factor largely determines the rate of SN2 reactions?
steric hindrance
product of hydrohalogenation of alkenes
haloalkane
products of acid-catalyzed hydration of alkynes
enol and ketone
What reaction is acid-catalyzed hydration of alkynes analogous to?
oxymercuration of alkenes
Are 3° haloalkanes are more likely to react by SN1 or SN2? YYY
SN1; 3° haloalkanes make very stable carbocations and are protected from backside attack, preventing SN2
What 3 reactions form haloalkanes (an alkane with one halogen attachment)?
hydrohalogenation of alkenes, HBR addition to alkenes under radical conditions, and free radical halogenation of alkanes
intermediate of allylic bromination
allyl radical
product of catalytic hydrogentation with lindlar’s catalyst
alkene
Draw out the mechanism for oxymercuration/reduction.
refer to notes
Oxymercuration/reduction results in anti? syn? addition
anti
Which of the 3 reactions that form alcohols is carbocation rearrangement/1,2 hydride shifts possible?
acid-catalyzed hydration of alkenes
What happens in an SN2 reaction?
Nu attacks from the backside; bond between carbon and Lv breaks and bond between carbon and Nu forms at the same time
hydroboration/oxidation is Markov? non Markov?
non non non nan nan nan nan
halogenation of alkenes results in syn? anti?
anti
intermediate of halogenation of alkynes
bridged halogen ion
intermediate of oxymercuration/reduction
bridged mercurinium ion
Draw the transition state of an SN2 reaction.
refer to notes
Draw out the mechanism of acid-catalyzed hydration of alkynes
refer to notes
product of acid-catalyzed hydration of alkenes
alcohols
products of hydroboration/oxidation of alkynes
internal alkynes: ketone and enol
terminal alkynes: aldehyde and enol
Why is an SN2 reaction called so?
because both the Nu and the Lv ae involved in the rate determining step
