Exam 2 Review Flashcards
(52 cards)
What catalysts are needed for oxidation of alcohol
potassium dichromate or sulfuric acid
Distilling mixture at what stage can stop oxidation
Aldehyde
Phenols are weak or strong bases/acids
weak acids that react with strong bases
When reacting with strong bases they form
water soluble salts
which ether is the simplest and which is the most common
Dimethyl Ether
Diethyl ether
Methyl simple
Ethy common
an ether is an oxygen atom
bonded to two carbon atoms
what is the difference between an ether and a ketone
Ketones are double bonded c=O and oxygen is only bonded to the one carbon
Ethers must be single bonded to two carbon atoms
Ethers are named based on carbon number one or alphabetical
alphabetical
a Methyl group bonded to the O atom is a
methoxy group
Ethers are
chemical properties
polar, weak intermolecular forces, lower b.p than alcohols
Why are ethers good solvents
they do not react with oxydizing agents nor do the react with H2 in the presence of a transition metal catalyst
Peroxides are derived from
and ether oxidizing over time
Formaldehyde
Methanol the simplest aldehyde
Position of carbonyl group in an aldehyde
must be on the end of the chain
Position of carbonyl in a ketone
can be anywhere must be named on the lowest number
Common names of aldehydes are derived from
Carboxylic acids
Both Ketones and Aldehydes,
decrease in solubility with increasing hydrocarbon chaining
ketones resist
oxidation
Both aldehydes and ketones oxidize by
H2 in the presence of a transition metal catalyst
Reduction of an aldehyde
Primary alcohol
Reduction of a ketone
secondary Alcohol
Hemiacetal
Acid similar to ester
Carbon bonded to one OH group and one Or group
reacts with alcohol to from acetal + h2o
All steps in the reaction
reversible
Ethanol in this reaction drives the reaction to the
right
water to left
