1
New cards

Formation of epoxide

MCPBA attacks electron-filled double bond.

2
New cards

Acid-catalyzed opening of epoxides in water

H⁺, H₂O; adds two OH groups on carbons.

3
New cards

Acid-catalyzed opening of epoxides in alcohols

H⁺, Alcohol; alkoxy group attacks more substituted side.

4
New cards

Acid-catalyzed opening of epoxides using HBr, HCl, or HI

Br/I/Cl attacks more substituted side; stereoinversion.

5
New cards

Base-catalyzed opening of epoxides with alkoxides or hydroxide

Alkoxy group bonds to less substituted side.

6
New cards

Base-catalyzed opening of epoxides with organometallics

R group binds to less substituted side.

7
New cards

Grignard reaction with epoxides

RMgX reacts with epoxide.

8
New cards

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution: Halogenation

Br₂, FeBr₃ used for bromination.

9
New cards

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution: Nitration

HNO₃, H₂SO₄ used; adds NO2 group.

10
New cards

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution: Addition of amine to ring

HNO3, H2SO4, Zn/HCl used.

11
New cards

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution: Sulfonation

SO₃, H₂SO₄ used; adds HSO3 group.

12
New cards

Desulfonylation of benzene

H2O, H⁺, heat used.

13
New cards

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution: Iodination

I2 and HNO3 used.

14
New cards

Friedel-Crafts Alkylation

Alkyl chloride, AlCl₃ used.

15
New cards

Friedel-Crafts Acylation

Acyl chloride, AlCl₃/H2O used.

16
New cards

Protonation of Alkenes

HF forms cation attacking aromatic ring.

17
New cards

Limitations of alkylation

Rearrangements possible; limit to 2 carbons.

18
New cards

Clemmenson reaction

Acyl chloride + AlCl3, then ZnHg to remove carbonyl.

19
New cards

Wolf Kishner reaction

NH2NH2, NaOH used; removes carbonyl.

20
New cards

Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution

F>Cl>Br>I; Nucleophile added.

21
New cards

Hydrogenation of benzene ring

3H2, pressure, Pd catalyst used.

22
New cards

Suzuki reaction

Aryl halide, boronic acid, Pd catalyst used.

23
New cards

Heck reaction

Aryl halide, alkene, Pd(OAc)₂, PPh₃, Et₃N used.

24
New cards

Adding alkyl to aromatic ring or alkene

(R_2CuLi)+ R-X used to replace leaving group.

25
New cards

Synthesizes ethers from alcohols and halides (Williamson Ether Synthesis)

Alkoxide ion, primary alkyl halide used.

26
New cards

Synthesizes ethers via alkene addition (Alkoxymercuration-Demercuration)

Alkene, Mercury(II) acetate, then reduction with NaBH₄.

27

HX in excess used; Ar-O-R turns into Ar-OH.

29
New cards

Aromatic ring to ring with two double bonds

Na NH3 (l)
