oxidation of a primary alcohol - take out a water by adding an O
medically relevant aldehydes
formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, and acetaldehyde
why are asians less likely to become alcoholics
they have a mutation that makes ethanol convert to acetaldehyde quickly, and then alot also have a mutation in the acetaldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme that makes them experience more severe hangove symptoms.

describe reactions of amines
basic compounds so add an acid and get a salt, ammonium salts are often a hydrochloride
another name for ammonium salts
hydrochloride after the name of the amine
hydrochlorides are used instead of the amines because
they are more water soluble

react with either acids or bases

usual reaction for benzene
substitution reaction (rarely addition reactions)
ortho substitution
two adjacent carbons on the benzene ring have a functional group added
meta substitution
there is one carbon between the two carbons on the benzene ring that have a functional group added

isomers are
molecules with the same chemical formula, and often the same chemical bonds, but in which the atoms are arranged differently - many isomers share similar if not identical properties
types of isomers
structural, functional, geometric
structural isomers have
same molecular formula and functional groups, but different structural formulas
functional isomers have
same molecular formula but different functional groups
geometric isomers have
same molecular formula but different structural formula because a double bond or ring systems prevents rotation to change into other form (cis vs trans)
cis means
same sided functional groups
trans means
opposite sided functional groups
example of two geometric isomers

a chiral carbon is
a carbon bonded to 4 different groups that is not superimposable on its mirror image, is optically active
enantiomers are
two mirror image molecules that cannot be superimposed
a molecule will have an enantiomer if it
contains a chiral carbon
optical isomers have
same molecular formula, structures are mirror images of one another so they rotate the plane of polarized light equally but in opposite direction

(versed) - ring structure opens or closes depending on pH.
pH under 4 makes versed
water soluble and the ring structure remains open
pH over 4 makes versed
lipid soluble and the ring structure closes
why are iv doses of versed different than po doses
in the blood pH is 7.4 therefore versed is lipid soluble and crosses into cells easily. If take po, pH is less than 4 so versed becomes water soluble and it takes a much higher dose to get into the cells
