23
Q

what are the 2 steps of making a secondary aliphatic amine?

A

1) primary amine + haloalkane –> diethylammonium salt

2) diethylammonium salt + ammonia ⇄secondary amine +ammonium halide

24
Q

what are the 2 steps of making a tertiary aliphatic amine?

A

1) secondary amine + haloalkane –> triethylammonium salt

2) triethylammonium salt + ammonia ⇄ tertiary amine + ammonium salt

25
Q

when reacting haloalkanes and ammonia, how do you get mainly the primary amine?

A

use large excess of ammonia to increase the chances of the haloalkane hitting the ammonia and not an already formed amine.

26
Q

what are the conditions of the reaction between a carbonyl and cyanide?

A

an inorganic cyanide salt, eg KCN or NaCN, in solution (ie aqueous) in acidic conditions

27
Q

what is the mechanism for the reaction between a carbonyl and cyanide?

A

nucleophillic addition

28
Q

do you get any isomers from reacting cyanide with carbonyls and any exceptions?

A

you get 2 optical isomers bc CN- cqn attack from top and bottom, true for any assymetric ketone and any aldehyde apart from methanol.

29
Q

what are the 2 main changes to nitriles?

A

1) can be reduced to form amines

2) can be hydrolysed to form COOHs

30
Q

how many ways are there to reduce nitriles to form amines?

A

2

31
Q

how many ways are there to hydrolyse nitriles to form COOHs?

A

1

32
Q

what are the 2 ways to reduce nitriles?

A

using H2 or reducing agent

33
Q

how do you reduce a nitrile using h2?

A

transition metal catalyst eg nickel
150C
raised pressure

34
Q

what is the general equation of reducing a nitrile using h2?

A

RCN + 2H2 –> RCH2NH2

35
Q

what reducing agent do you use to reduce a nitrile?

A

sodium tetrahydroaluminate, LiAlH4

36
Q

what is the general equation for reducing a nitrile using LiAlH4?

A

RCN + 4[H] –> RCH2NH2

37
Q

how do you turn a nitrile into a COOH?

A

reflux with HCl

38
Q

what is a friedel crafts reaction?

A

a method of electrophilic substitution to extend a benzene ring

39
Q

what are the 2 types of friedel crafts?

A

alkylation

acylation

40
Q

what does alkylation require?

A

haloalkanes

41
Q

what does acylation require?

A

acyl chloride

42
Q

what do friedel crafts reactions require?

A

halogen carrier

43
Q

what is the halogen carrier used for in a friedel crafts reaction?

A

generating an electrophile

44
Q

what are 2 halogen carriers?

A

AlCl3

FeCl3

45
Q

What is GC-MS?

A

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

46
Q

what is a condensation polymer according to the mark scheme?

A

monomers join / bond / add / react / form polymer / form

chain AND another product / small molecule / H2O / HCl

47
Q

suggest 3 benefits of using single stereoisomers in the synthesis of drugs.

A

no / fewer side effects
increases the effectiveness
reduces / stops the need for / cost / difficulty in separating stereoisomers / optical isomers.

48
Q

how many bonds does nitrogen make for it to be positively charged?

A

4

49
Q

if something has a double bond and ur explaining its shape how do u word it?

A

say it has however many bonding CENTRES-because technically it has more than that bonding pairs because of its double bond.

50
Q

what is a use of a polyamide?

A

fibres in clothing apparently

51
Q

how would u name a dicarboxylic acid?

A

-dioc acid. eg butanedioc acid.

52
Q

HOW DO U GET FROM A NITRILE TO A CARBOXYLIC ACID

A

add AQUEOUS acid-you can’t say dilute!! it’s aqueous!!

53
Q

when they say draw a SALT remember to…

A

draw the positive and negative ions!!

54
Q

when an amine reacts with an acid what do u draw as the product?

A

the positive salt AND negative ion!!

55
Q

how would u name something that was a ring of 6 carbons (not aromatic) with an OH coming off it?

A

cyclohexanol.
