Cards (12)

  • Mono substitution?
    swap of one molecule with another
  • Catalyst of an alkane -> haloalkane reaction?
    UV Light
  • All types of substitution reactions?
    Alkane -> Haloalkane
    Haloalkane -> Alcohol
    Haloalkane -> Amine
  • Addition Reactions Niches?
    • Must have double bonds on carbons (alkenes)
    • Has no by-products
  • Types of addition reactions?
    Alkene -> Haloalkane
    Indirect Oxidation of Primary Alcohols -> Aldehyde -> Carboxylic Acid
    Direct Oxidation of Primary Alcohols -> Carboxylic Acid (Need Reflux)
    Oxidation of Secondary Alcohols -> Ketone
    Primary Alcohol + Carboxylic Acid -> Ester + Water
    Amine + Carboxylic acid -> Secondary Amine + Water
    Ammonia + Carboxylic acid -> Primary Amine + Water
  • Condensation reactions?
    Requires a LIQUID catalyst (AS NO WATER CAN BE PRESENT)
  • Hydrolysis Reaction?
    Requires an Aqueous Catalyst
  • Alcohol + Carboxylic acid -> Ester + H2O Catalyst?
    H2SO4 (L)H_2SO_4\space_{_{(L)}}

    NaOH(aq)NaOH_{(aq)}
  • Oxidation of Alcohols Catalyst?
    Cr2O72 / H+Cr_2O_7^{^{2-}} \space / \space H^+
  • Oxidation of Primary alcohols ways?
    Indirectly, creating an Aldehyde, then oxidising again to create a carboxylic acid
    OR
    Directly, through harsh conditions (reflux boiling) straight to a carboxylic acid
  • Transesterification Reaction?
    Type of Reaction: Addition
    Triglyceride + Alcohol --> Glycerol + Fatty acid esters (biodiesel)
