16
Q

How is an alcohol formed from a aldehyde?

what mechanisms?

what type of alcohol does it make?

A

By adding NaBH4

it is being reduced through nucleophilic addition

primary alcohol

17
Q

How is an alcohol formed from a ketone?

what mechanisms?

what type of alcohol does it make?

A

By adding NaBH4

it is being reduced through nucleophilic addition

secondary alcohol (the good stuff;)

18
Q

why is there no need to heat and distill alcohol when making ketones whereas you do need to for the formation of an aldehyde?

A

Because buffbunny they are oxidation reactions

ketones cannot be oxidised further

however aldehydes if they werent distilled of would form caroboxylic acids

ygm fam?

19
Q

what alcohol can be oxidised to an aldehyde?

A

primary

20
Q

what alcohol can be oxidised to an ketone?

A

secondary

21
Q

what reagant is used to oxidise an alcohol to a ketone?

what confitions are used?

A

aqueous Na2Cr2O7
heat

we doomed, lets just face it

22
Q

what reagant is used to oxidise an alcohol to a aldehyde?

what confitions are used?

A

aqueous Na2Cr2O7

heat and distill

23
Q

how can aldehydes and ketones be turned to hydroxynitriles?

A

NaCN + H2SO4

Nucleophillic Addition

24
Q

what reagant is used to oxidise an alcohol to a carboxylic acid?

what confitions are used?

A

aqueous Na2Cr2O7

heat in reflux

excess oxidising agent
primary alcohol needed

25
Q

what is the starting product of a reaction in which H2SO4 is used with an alcohol to produce an ester?
whats this process called?

A

A

a sodium salt found in soap and glycerol

29
Q

how can you make biodiesel from an ester?

A

add an alcohol

KOH catalysst

32
Q

what is a primary amine added to in room temp to make a secondary amide?

A

acyl chlorides/acid anhydrides

33
Q

what can be added to acyl chlorides/acid anhydrides to make a secondary amide?

what conditions?

what mechanisms?

A

primary amines

im hiding in your swimming pool

room temperature

Nucleophilic addition elimination

34
Q

how is a quaternery salt made from a primary amine

A

it has to go through nucleophilic substitution 3 times with a haloalkane going through the phases of secondary amine and then tertiary amine.
