Markovnikov's rule

When a hydrogen halide reacts with an asymmetric alkene, the hydrogen atom of the the hydrogen halide is more likely to bond to the carbon atom which is attached to the greater number of hydrogen atoms.

Plasticiser

A small molecule that fits between polymer chains, causing them to move further apart. This weakens IMF between chains so they can now move over one another, resulting in a more flexible polymer.

Name an oxidising agent used for alcohols

Colour change

Acidified potassium dichromate and warmed.

K2Cr2O7 + H2SO4(aq)

Orange dichromate ions (Cr2O72-) are reduced to green Cr3+ ions.

SO must be primary or secondary alcohol.

Aldehyde can be distilled off as it has a lower bp than alcohol or can be refluxed with excess K2Cr2O7 to form a carboxylic acid.

When investigating rate of nucleophilic substitution of different halogenoalkanes, we use nucleophile…

H2O, not OH- as they would react with AgNO3 to form insoluble silver hydroxide.

27
New cards

Rate of nucleophilic substitution of different halogenoalkanes

Iodoalkanes > Bromoalkanes > Chloroalkanes

Chloroalkanes have the highest bond enthalpy.

Infrared Spectroscopy

Bonds vibrate at different rates, which is slower between heavier atoms.

Bonds absorb radiation at the same frequency as they vibrate - which lies within the infrared region of electromagnetic spectrum for organic molecules.

An absorption spectrum is produced.

Fingerprint region is complex (<1500).

TMS name and structure

New cards

How many H environments does TMS have?

1

37
New cards

Why is TMS a good reference?

  1. Only a small amount needed as there are 12H in the same environment - so gives a strong signal.

  2. Singlet pattern as only one H environment.

  3. Contains silicon so chemical shift different to any organic compound so we can compare.

  4. It is inert so doesn’t react with what we are analysing.

  5. Non-toxic.

  6. Volatile so can easily distil off and reuse.

  7. Can use for both 1H and 13C n.m.r.
