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)
Alkanes can undergo…

O-H
Functional groups:
Hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl, amine
Estrification (condensation)
Carboxylic acid + alcohol –> ester + water
Carboxylic ending

Ethers
COC linkage
Amines:
Alkyl halide + Ammonia
Amines are
Primary, Secondary, Tertiary
Amides can be
hydrolyzed to reform amine and carboxylic acid
Amine ending
-amine
Amides
Carboxylic acids + primary/secondary amines
Amides contain a carbonyl group bonded to
Nitrogen atom
Amide ending
-amide
Carboxylic acid + amine
water + amide
Amide rxns
Amide synthesis, hydrolyzation
Amides can’t form with
Tertiary amines
Amides hydroloyzed
Amide + H2 –> Amine + Carboxylic acid
