Q

What are the rules determining acid strength of a molecule?

A
  1. Acid strength increases down a group
  2. Acid strength increases across a period
  3. A positive charge increases acid strength
  4. The more halogens, the stronger the acid
  5. Substituents at remote locations are stronger acids

Q

What is an enantiomer?

A

Non-superimposable mirror image / all chiral centers change

22
Q

What is a diastereomer?

A

Some chiral centers change, but not all

23
Q

What is the stereochemistry of an SN2 reaction?

A

25
Q

How do you determine between reactions with a secondary substrate?

A

A

Tend to favor E2

27
Q

A

Break double bond and add epoxide to it

37
Q

What happens when you react a halohydrin with a base?

A

-Synthesis of epoxide by base deprotanating OH group and O then attacks carbon with halogen

38
Q

What happens when you react epoxide in basic conditions?

A

-Nucleophile attacks least sterically hindered carbon
-break epoxide & create alcohol
-anti-addition

39
Q

What happens when you react epoxide in acidic conditions?

A

-Break epoxide & create alcohol
-add nucleophile to more substituted carbon

40
Q

What is a glycol? How do you synthesize glycols with epoxides?

A

Glycol: hydroxy groups (OH) on adjacent carbons
-epoxide ring opening under acidic/basic conditions = trans glycols
