|
what is the saytzeff rule? |
the poor gets poorer (they have to be unsymmetrical product and reagent to get more than 1 product, unless its at the end) the alkene that has the least hydrogens DIRECTLY attached to it is the major product. (always removes the H from the NEIGHBOURING carbon) |
|
looking at this molecule is unsymmetrical and the reactant is unsymmetrical so it will form 2 different products, determine what the products look like! |
the acid strips the OH and the H will be stripped on the carbon that is adjacent to the Oh-Carbon so it will form these 2 |
|
out of these 2 products which 1 is the major and minor and why? |
staff rule states the carbon in the alkene with the least hydrogens attached directly is the major product so we just have to count |
|
what are the types of reaction to do with alkenes? there are 3 |
-hydrogenation -halogenation -addition of HZ |
|
what is a alkene hydrogenation reaction? |
when (H2 & Pt) to add 2 Hydrogens to an alkene to break the double bond to form an alkane. (CIS) |

|
what is markownikoffs rule? |
when there is an addition of an unsymmetrical reagent and reactant, to an unsymmetrical alkene. The rich get richer there will be more than 1 possible product, you look at the reactant the carbon on the double bond, which one has the most hydrogens, that carbon will gain 1 more H when it has the double bond broken. the functional group is put on the poor carbon |
|
draw the products of this and name the major and minor. |
the reactant and reagent is unsymmetrical so markownikoffs rule applies and 2 products is made the richer carbon CH2 now become CH3, the rich got richer. and the poor carbon got the OH to make an alcohol |

|
what is resonance |
when the electrons in a pi bond move around usually around a benzene ring |
|
why is benzene more stable than other aromatics |
the increasing double bonds makes it more unstable for other aromatics because it requires more energy to hold it in place. however resonance makes benzene more stable less energy required to hold it in place |
|
does benzene rings undergo hydrogenation reactions? |
no only when it is a aromatic with only 1 double bond. or if the substituent of a benzene ring has a double bond. then the hydrogenation occurs on that double bond. with pt/h2 it breaks the bond and adds h2 |

|
what is the mechanisms of a preparation of mono substituted benzenes such as adding br2+febr3 to a benzene to a get a bromobenzene? |
-an electrophile is added to a benzene --wheland intermediate -the E attaches the a carbon -because it occupies the space of a double bond it causes the other carbon to become a carbo cation -the neighbouring double bond then attacks it resonance, so the electrons move and so does the positive charge -the + moves 2 carbons along -it keep moving till it reaches ortho to the H+E -the H attacks the carbocation, and this causes the H to become H+ and detach as a proton -what you are left with is a benzene with a E -NOTE: the + is never Meta of the H+E -NOTE the electrophile attack is very SLOW -NOTE the proton loss is very FAST |
|
how are electrophiles usually generated? |
the electrophiles are usually formed by catalytic actions
such as -halogenation -nitration -friedal crafts acylation and alkylation |

what is halogenation to produce a electrophile |
when a halogen group is split up and bonds with another molecule X2+feX3 it is very reactive the Fecl3 strips Cl from Cl2. giving a Cl+ the Cl+ is the electrophile that we want and it can go ahead to bind to a benzene ring to give us the |
|
what is a nitration reaction to produce a electrophile? |
HNO3/H2so4 which will leave a NO2+ carbocation which will bind to a benzene ring giving a aniline |
|
what is friedal crafts acylation for creating a electrophile? |
my friend says its a ketone a R-C^(=O)X /AlX3 is added to a benzene ring. the ALX3 strips the X leaving just a +R-C^(=O) carbocation the ketone then gets attached to the benzene ring forming a kettle benzene thing |
|
what is friedal crafts alkylation for creating a electrophile? |
it uses RX/ Alx3(catalyst) (also alX3 strips the X in the process) to add the R+(carbocation)to a benzene ring. benzene+RX/AlX3= toluene |
|
how do you get a diazonium ion?

if you add a reagent of SOCl2 to Carboxylic acid it will strip away the OH (alcohol) group on the carboxylic acid and replace it with a Cl. |
|
how do you get phenol form a diazonium ion? |
you add H3O+ this strips away the +N-=N and replaces it with a OH. |
|
what is a G group |
it is a molecule on a benzene ring what this molecule decides whether the electrophile that comes on is in ortho para or meta configuration |

-OH -OR -NH2 -NR2 |
|
what G groups cause the ortho-para and are weakly activating (makes reaction sorta faster) |
-CH3 (alkyl) |
|
what G groups cause the ortho-para but is DEACTIVATING? (making the reaction go slower to benzene) |
-X (because they actually have quite a strong electronegativity so they pull the electrons back) |
|
what G groups cause the Meta and is Strongly Deactivating? |
=O +N NO2 -O- So3H |
|
what G groups cause the meta but is moderately deactivating |

it is when toluene is reacted with reagents to add on a halogen group to the ring, however there are 2 different reaction you need to know. one with Br2 HV+CCl4 or Br2/Febr3 |
|
what happens when you react toluene with Br2 Hv + CCl4 |
you get a toluene with a CH2Br attached to one another on the benzene ring |
|
what happens when you react toluene with Br2/FeBr3 |
you get a toluene with a Br and a CH3 in the ortho-para direction as the CH3 is a orthopara director. |
|

mainly halogens in order of least to most Cl- , Br- , I- (if on a carbon_ |
|
what are the poor leaving groups |
H-, Bh2 , HO-, RO- |
|
what happens to a substitution reaction of CH3C=-C- + CH3Br? |
the negative carbon attacks the CH3 binding it to become CH3C=-CCH3. the Br leaves because it is a good leaving group
|
|
what is a SN1 reaction? |
unimolecular mechanism occurs with alkyl halidesonly SECONDARY AND tertiary rate is determined by the conc of alkyl halides SN1 is a substitution reaction |
|
what is the rate determining step? |
R.D.s the slowest part of the reaction usually determines the rate of the whole reaction IN SN1 the formation of the carbocation is the slow step thats when the Br leaves and takes the electrons with it to leave a C+. in SN2 because it all happens in one step the RDS is the whole reaction in the end the O ends up positive, so the H is removed and it donates it electrons to O+ before it leaves so it becomes O and H+ leaves |
|
what is the reaction energy profile for SN1 reactions? |
the little dip pond thing is where the carbocation is formed. the first hump is when the X leaves, the second hump is when the other group is attached to |
|
what is a SN2 reaction? |
bimolecular (dependant of alkyl halide+Nu) the rate is determined by alkyl halide+Nu -Primary molecule and some secondary -all done in 1 step -no carbocation formed -the product is always the reverse stereochemistry of the reactant. flipped umbrella R<-->S |
|
what happens when you react a Nu- + CH3Br? |
the Nu- will attack the Ch3 and the Br will leave this all happens in a transition step (al at once) [Nu...CH3....Br]--> Nu-CH3+Br- |
|
what is the energy profile graph for SN2 reaction |
the SN2 reaction occurs in a single step so it has only 1 hump the weird symbol at the top and the hump is the transition state, where the everything happens at once occurs |
|
what is weird with the stereochemistry of SN2 reactions |
the stereochemistry is inverted form a R<-->S |
|
why does SN2 prefer primary |
because less carbons mean less crowded, because more crowding means more energy required in the transition state. |
