Exam 3 Flashcards
(88 cards)
for radical stability, look at
resonance
primary, secondary, or tertiary
sp3 hybridized or not
most stable: resonance
then tertiary, secondary, primary
least stable: radical on vinylic position
hydrohalogenation
addition of H-X across an alkene
* Markovnikov
* enantiomers
what to look for in hydrohalogenation
rearrangment
hydrohalogenation mechanism
- alkene attacks H
- bond between H and X goes to X
- electron pair on X goes to carbocation
hydration
addition of OH and H across an alkene
* markovnikov
* racemic if chiral center
* makes rearranged and not rearranged products
hydration steps
- proton transfer
- nucleophilic
- proton transfer
* same as hydrohalogenation except 1 more step to neutralize molecule
oxymercuration-demercuration
hydration w/ out rearrangment
reagent used for oxymercuration-demercuration
- Hg(OAc)2
- NaBH4
hydroboration-oxidation
hydration but anti-markovnikov
hydroboration-oxidation
- BH3*THF
- H2O2, NaOH
hydroboration-oxidation rule
- either H and OH are both syn (both cis or both trans)
catalytic hydrogenation
hydrogenation: (addition of H and H across an alkene) - alkene to alkane
cataylic hydrogenation: hydrogenation with a catalyst
* syn (both trans or both cis)
* enantiomers
* if meso compound, then 1 product, no enantiomers
remember
enantiomer only form if there’s a chiral center
catalysts for catalytic hydryogenation
wilkinson’s catalyst
how to get 1 enantiomer
replace phosphine ligand on wilkinson’s catalyst with chiral ligand
halogenation
addition of X and X across an alkene
is halogenation anti or syn
anti
how are halohydrins formed
when halogenation happens in water
* addition of 1 halogen and 1 OH across an alkene
* halogen to less subsituted
dihydroxylation
addition of OH and OH across an alkene
* anti and syn
what do you need to make an alkyne
dihalide
geminal dihalides
2 halognes on the same C
vicinal dihalides
2 halogens on adjacent Cs
reaction to form alkyne
2 E2 rxns because there are 2 leaving groups
* 1st E2 forms an alkene
* 2nd E2 forms an alkyne
* mech: electrons on base to H, bond of H to C-C, loss of L.G
* requires strong base
catalytic hydrogenation of alkynes
alkyne to alkane
* in between, alkene forms (cis)
