Test 1 Flashcards
oxidation
loss of electrons, addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen
reduction
gain of electrons, removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen
epoxide
unstable system, typically polymerizes rapidly and easily, it is used to make something waterproof
what will make an epoxide
peracid with any alkene
cold vs hot in reactions
cold gives the oxidizing agent less reactivity which slows it down, limits the reagent making it less reactive, will control the reaction better
syn addition
adds across double bonds to same side at the same time
what are aldehydes oxidized to
carboxylic acids
what does heat do to a reaction
gives it energy to be more reactive, splits the double and triple bonds to form aldehydes
What does a ketone get oxidized to
nothing, it cannot be oxidized any further
ozoloysis
type of oxidatice cleavgae that uses ozone to add an oxygen to both sides making aldehydes

degrees of saturation per ring
