addition reactions

• What are nucleophiles?

  Electron-pair donators (to electrophiles)
• What types of alcohols undergo oxidation?

  Primary and secondary
• What are carbonyl groups

  C=O bond
• What is used in these reactions after a sodium/potassium reagent?

  Dilute acid(H+) from HCl
• What is the highest priority OH or Nitriles?

  Nitriles
• How do you name hydroxynitriles?


  Add hydroxy into front of longest carbon chain(alkane) and nitrile ending
• If it is a hydrogen cyanide equation the H+ comes from the hydrogen (HCN), if it is a potassium/sodium cyanide reagent the H+ comes from the dilute acid(HCl)
• Outline the two addition steps for propanone and hydrogen cyanide
