1
New cards

Organic Oxidation

C + more electronegative atoms (O or N) and breaking C and H

2
New cards

Hydrogen is

less electronegative

3
New cards

Organic reduction

Breaking C and (O, N) bond and form C + H bond

4
New cards

List oxidation states

Alkane → Alkene → Alcohol → Aldehyde → C. Acid → CO2

5
New cards

What gets you more energy right away: Alkane or Aldehyde?

Alkane! (found in Lipids)

6
New cards

Oxidizing Primary Alcohol →

Aldehyde

7
New cards

Oxidizing Secondary Alcohol

Ketone

8
New cards

Oxidizing Aldehyde →

Carboxylic Acid

12
New cards

Retrosynthesis →

What alkene did you start with?

13
New cards

Retrosynthesis steps

Find carbonyl, Reduce aldehyde or ketone, dehydrate alcohol, and get alkene!

New cards

Are carbonyls polarized? What does that mean?

Yes! (partial - and partial +)

15
New cards

Aldehyde + Ketone Properties

No H-bonds → low boiling point

Volatile and flammable
