Syn Addition is
|
Addition reaction in which both portions of a reagent add to the multpile bond from the same side.
|
|
Anti Addition is
|
Addition reaction in which the two portions of a reagent add to the multpile bond from opposite sides.
|
|
"Anti"
|
two substituents on adjacent atoms are 180 degrees apart.
|

Tertiary & Secondary Alcohol Dehydration:
Reactants, Product, Classification |
C3-COH + H2SO4& heat ---> C2C=CH2
E1 Mechanism. Rate determining step - dissociation of C3C from OH2 |
|
Primary Alcohol Dehydration:
Reactants, Product, Classification |
C-COH + H2O --> C=C + H30 + H2O
E2 - H2O attachs H and C-O bond breaks in same step. Rearrangements then occur to favor most substituted double bonds. |
|
Dehydrohalogenation of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd dregree Alkyl Halides in the presence of a strong base: Reactants, Product, Classification
|
H3C-CH2X + StrongBase in EtOH solvent --> H2C=CH2 + HX
Zaitsev rule: elimination favors most highly substituted double bonds. E2 mechanism: C-H and C-X bonds broken and C=C double bond formed at same time. |
|
In E2 Dehydrohalogenation of Alkyl Halides, which Halogen is the best leaving group? Why?
|
I -fastest, has weakest C-X bond. F - slowest.
|
|
Dehydrohalogenation of 2nd and 3rd dregree Alkyl Halides in the presence of a weak base: Reactants, Product, Classification
|
E1 Mechanism. Rate determining step - Breaking of the c-x bond to form a tertiary or secondary carbocation.
|
|
Which is more stable - trans- or cis- cycloalkenes?
|
Cis
|
|
Zaitsev's rule states:
|
beta eliminations of alcohols result in the most highly substituted alkene as the major product.
|
|
Factors governing Alkene Stability are:
|
1. Degree of substitution - tetrasubstituted double bonds are most stable.
2. Van der Waals (steric strain) - when large substituents are trans, more stable than cis. |
|
How to synthesize an Alkyl Halide, given an alcohol ROH?
|

|
|
How do you rank in terms of polarity?
|
electronegativity: F>Cl>Br>I>O>C.
C-X and C-OH bonds are polar. C is the positive end. |
|
What determines Solubility?
|
Low - weight alcohols (meth-eth-propanol) are soluble in water, less soluble as # c's increases. Alkyl halides are insoluble.
