reaction category of Carboxylic acids, phenols, amines
acid/base reactions
26
occur when an unsaturated reactant becomes a saturated product
addition reaction
27
determine the type of organic reactions in ppt
grade yourself accordingly
28
commonly undergo addition reactions (3 reactions)
C=C CΞC C=O
29
breaks when addition reaction occurs, leaving σ bonds intact
π bond
30
occurs when a saturated reactant becomes an unsaturated product
elimination reaction
31
reverse of addition reaction
elimination reaction
32
typically eliminated in an elimination reaction (2 examples)
H and Halogen Atom H and OH group
33
forms and are the driving force for an elimination reaction
HCl (g) H2O
34
occurs when an atom or group from an added reagent substitutes for one attached to a carbon in the organic reagent
substitution reaction
35
at which substitution may be saturated or unsaturated, and X and Y can be many atoms
C atom
36
can be organized into five classes based on structural change: substitution, elimination, rearrangement, and oxidation-reduction (redox)
organic reactions
37
involve the reorganization of atoms within a molecule
rearrangement
38
involve exchanging C-H for C-X bonds or vice versa
Redox reactions
39
involve the exchange of one group for another
substitution reactions
40
involves the use of an electron-poor reagent (or precursor to an electrophile), the organic substrate acts as an nucleophile
electrophilic substitution
41
involves the use of an electron-rich reagent (or precursor to a nucleophile),, the organic substrate acts as an electrophile
nucleophilic substitution
42
involve the incorporation of the atoms of one molecule into another. The atoms of the reagent add across the two atoms of a π bond in the organic substrate
addition reactions
43
involves the use of an electron-poor reagent (or precursor to an electrophile), the organic substrate acts as an nucleophile
electrophilic addition
44
determine the types of substitution reactions
grade yourself accordingly
45
determine the types of addition reactions
grade yourself accordingly
46
example of typical nucleophiles
oxygen nitrogen sulfur water alcohol phenols thymines thiolds carboxylates
47
involves the use of an electron reagent (or precursor to a nucleophile), the organic substrate acts an electrophile
nucleophilic addition
48
example of electrophiles
H3O BF3 AlCl3 F2 Cl2 Br2 I2
49
why is iodine not typically used in ochem reactions
weak electrophile, too unreactive
50
why is fluorine not typically used in ochem reactions
too reactive
51
involves the expulsion of a small molecule with formation of a π bond. Every elimination is the reverse of an addition reaction, and vice versa
elimination reactions
52
involve the reorganization of atoms within a molecule
rearrangement reactions
53
 May take place in a single elementary step
rearrangement
54
involve an exchange of C – H for C -X bonds (oxidation) or vice versa (reduction) with a noncommitant reduction or oxidation in the reagent respectively.
oxidation
55
exchange of C-H for C-X bonds (reduction/oxidation)?
oxidation
56
exchange of C-X bonds with C-H (reduction/oxidation)
