What is a Wurtz Reaction?
|
It is when two alkyl groups from alkyl bromides are joined and sodium bromide is formed as a side product while the product is to make longer chains of hydrocarbons.
|
|
|
What are the three methods that involve elimination reactions that deals with alkenes?
|
Dehydrohalogenation, dehydration, dehalogenation
|
|
|
What is dehydrohalogenation?
|
Dehydrohalogenation involves the removal of hydrogen and halogen from an alkane with a halogen substituent.
|
|
|
What is dehydration?
|
In dehydration, a hydroxy and a hydrogen are removed, forming an alkene and water. The starting material is an alcohol.
|
|
|
What is dehalogenation?
|
Dehalogenation occurs when adjacent carbons of an alkane are substituted with halogens.
|
|
|
What are the two reactions that deal with alkynes?
|
Dehydrohalogenation and dehalogenation.
(Dehydrohalogenation's only difference is there is more KOH to remove the alkene hydrogens forming the second pi bond of the alkyne. The only difference for dehalogenation is that the alkane starting material has two halogens on each of the adjacent carons, permitting the formation of two pi bonds.) |
