Unit 1: Organic Chemistry Reactions Flashcards
Addition rxn
Atoms from 1 molecule added to another – forms single molecule. Multiple alkene/alkyne bonds enable organic molecules to react with Hydrogen.
Hydrogenation
Addition of Hydrogen saturates hydrocarbon. H2 atoms added to either side of double bond. Happens with alkenes, alkynes, or cyclic alkenes. Alkene or alkyne gains atoms from reacting molecule but doesn’t lose atoms.
Halogenation
Addition rxns with halogens and halides. Br or CL reacts with alkene or alkynes. For alkene: makes an alkyl halide. For alkyne halogenation: make halogen alkene (excess halogen= alkyl halide)
Hydrohalogenation
Hydrogen halide (HCL, HBR), reacts with alkene or alkyne. Result: Halogen + H2 atoms + halogenated alkene or alkyl halide
Hydration
Water reacts with unsaturated hydrocarbon (Hydrocarbon + H20). Result: Alcohol (Hydroxyl group, -OH)
