Reagents Flashcards
PCl5
chlorinating reagent
Cl2, FeCl3
adds to alkenes, aromatic rings
C6H6, AlCl3
promotes chlorination; catalyst for additions to aromatic rings
LiAlH4 (LAH)
strong reducing agent for carbonyl compounds
KMnO4, OH-, heat, H3O+
powerful oxidizing agents for alkenes, alcohols, aldehydes, alkanes
H3O+
protonates the negatively charged oxygen
HNO3, H2SO4, heat
nitration (adds nitrogen)
PCC, CH2Cl2
oxidize alcohols (from primary alcohols to aldehydes and from secondary alcohols to ketones)
AlCl3
- produce an electrophile
- catalyst
- F.C.
Ether, H3O+
cleaves C-O bonds
- also reacts with Grignard reagents to form a stable complex
Beyer Villiger Oxidation:
oxidative cleavage of a C-C bond adjacent to a carbonyl
Zn(Hg), HCl
reduces aldehydes and ketones to a hydrocarbon (Clemmensen)
-OH
replaces a halogen?
LiALlH4, ether
strong reducing agent for carbonyl compounds
H3O+
protonates the negatively charged oxygen
Br2,FeCl3
adds to alkenes, aromatic rings (creates a more reactive electrophile?)
