Q

<p>Synthesis Alkynes Dehalogenation</p>

A

<p>Basically similar to that for the formation of alkenes. The difference is that the alkane starting material has two halogens on each of the adjacent carbons permitting the formation of two pi bonds</p>

Q

<p>Mechanisms and Reactions Oxygen-Containing Molecule Alcohols Formation of esters </p>

A

<p>In the most common method of creating as ester, the alcohol hydroxyl group and the proton from the acid leave and the alkyl group from the alcohol bonds to the resonance-stabilised deprotonated carbonyl group on the acid. The hydroxyl group from the alcohol and the proton from the acid combine to form water and leaving behind an ester</p>

<p>reactant. Inversion of configuration occurs with SN2 . The steric hindrance of large groups physically prevents both the leaving grouo and the nucleophile from reacting in one step. Therefore only primary and secondary carbons will react via SN2. Tertiary carbons will react by SN1. SN1s are also more polar and protic, have increased substitution, weak nucleophiles and a low concentration of nucleophiles</p>

Q

<p>Mechanisms and Reactions Alkanes Nucleophilic Substitution SN1 vs SN2</p>

A

<p>One of the easiest ways to determine whether a reactant favours the SN1 or SN2 reaction is to evaluate the bulk of the reactant. Inversion of configuration occurs with SN2 . The steric hindrance of large groups physically prevents both the leaving grouo and the nucleophile from reacting in one step. Therefore only primary and secondary carbons will react via SN2. Tertiary carbons will react by SN1. SN1s are also more polar and protic, have increased substitution, weak nucleophiles and a low concentration of nucleophiles</p>
