Producing Halogenoalkanes: (3)

  • Alkanes: free - radical substitution

  • Alkenes: electrophilic addition of HX (or by reacting KBr with conc H2SO4 or H3PO3)

  • Alcohols: reactions with: PCl3, (H3PO3); PCl5, (HCl, POCl3); SO2, (HCl, SOCl2)

Reactions of Halo (4) tell me every single damn thing about amines

  • Alkenes: with NaOH (ethanolic), heat under reflux

  • Alcohols: with H2O/ NaOH (aq), aka, hydrolysis, heat under reflux

  • Nitriles, with KCN, HEAT under reflux

  • AMINES: WITH NH3 in excess, in ethanol, heat under pressure, + H2O

Amines: How does it work / type of reaction? the “phile” ? The chemical equation

How does it work?

  • Nucleophilic substitution, side product + HX or none

Nucleophile: NH3

Product:

  1. before: -amine + hydrohalogen

  2. after: (when it’s in excess, Ammonia neutralises ACID)

| NH3 + HBr → NH4 Br

Chemical equation

  • CH3CH2Br + 2NH3 → CH3CH2NH2 + NH4Br

Conditions:

  • NH3 in ethanol

  • Heat

  • Sealed in container

New cards

Nitriles Niggrow nhớ sao?!?!, the “phile” in question, Side product, condition

  • Nucleophilic substitution, in turn X- ion is left out (side product)

  • Nucleophile: CN- ion

  • Chemical equation:

  • CH3CH2Br + CN- → CH3CH2CN + Br-

  • Conditions: Add KCN → NIGGROEW NHỚ BÔI KCN!!!

  • HEAT UNDER REFLUX

  • CYANO!! or Nitrile

New cards

Producing Halo (how many things?)

, which are:

  • Free radical substitution of Alkanes using Br, Cl

  • Electrophilic addition of alkene using X2 or HX (conditions: at room temp)

  • Substitution of Alcohol:

  1. HX (or KX and H2SO4 or H3PO4)

  2. PCl3 and heat: → halo + H3PO3

  3. PCl5 and at room temp: → HCl + PCl3

8
New cards

Heat under reflux

Heating method using a condeser, prevent the vapour from reagents to escape

9
New cards

Alcohols (Nucleophile, conditions)

  • Hydrolysis (Add H2O) side product: HBr

  • OR through the reaction with NaOH (aq) (substitution reaction) aka dilute alkali

  • nucleophile: H2O or OH-

  • Conditions: Heat under reflux

  • Note: Hydrolysis slower

10
New cards

Identifying halogen: reagents, any conditions, add to what? Colour?

Slowly occurs by adding AgNO3 solution in a mixture of ethanol and water

Forms AgX precipitate

AgI - pale yellow

AgBr - cream

AgCl - white

SN1

S & N: Substitution nucleophilic

1 or 2: order of reaction, how many factors determine the RoR

12
New cards

SN2

One stage, occurs with primary

central shows TRANSITION

How it works:

1st

Nu attacks the Carbon

Transition:

AT THE SAME TIME, Nu - - - - C and - - - - leaving group

Note: PARTIAL CHARGES BEFORE AND AFTER

Nu attacks from opposite side ‘cause Like charges repel

SN1

2 STAGES, HUHU NHỚ ATVNCG QUÁ ĐI MẤT

First:

electrons → X

Second:

Nu → C+ (Trigonal Planar intermediate)

ions left…

Involves Carbocations which is stabilised by the inductive effect

=> Tertiary

*HIGHLY IMPORTANT!!!: first step, there’s might not be no attack

New cards

Reactivity (electronegativity, bond length → ?)

Enegativity: decreases down the group

Size of Partial charges (GOING DOWN)

Bond length increases → Atomic size

New cards

Making Alkene (Does it include X or no?)

Elimination reaction, side product: NaX + H2O

reagents: NaOH

Conditions: NaOH(ethanol)

Heat under reflux
