nucleophilic addition elimination reactions of acyl chlorides

describe the reactivity of acyl chlorides

acyl chlorides are extremely reactive

what will they react with

nucleophiles

give 4 examples of nucleophiles that they can react with

water, alcohols ,ammonia and amines

what is the mechanism

nucleophilic addition-elimination

how any steps does this mechanism occur in

two

what does the paritally positive carbon in the C=O do

it will attract the lone pair of the nucleophile

where is the electrons in the C=O bond transferred to

the oxygen

what does the oxygen now have

a lone pair and a negative charge

what does the nucleophile form with the partially positive carbon

a bond

what does the lone pair of electrons on the oxygen reform

the double bond

what in the acyl chloride is broken

the C-Cl bond

what does this release

a chloride ion

what does this chloride ion do

it reacts with the hydrogen atom on the protonated hydroxyl group

outline and name the mechanism when propanoyl chloride and water
