How do you prepare halogenoalkanes from alkanes?
react with chlorine/bromine + heat/UV
1 of 29
How do you prepare halogenoalkanes from alkenes?
react with hydrogen halides at room temp (to produce halogenoalkanes). react with halogen elements to form dihalogenoalkanes
2 of 29
How do you prepare halogenoalkanes from alcohols?
react with phosphorous/hydrogen halides
3 of 29
What mechanism is involved when halogenoalkanes react with water?
Nucleophilic substitution
4 of 29
halogenoalkane + water --->
alcohol + hydrogen cation + halide anion
5 of 29
The rate of hydrolysis of different halogenoalkanes can be compared by......
carrying out reaction in presence of silver ions
6 of 29
The mechanism for the reaction between halogenoalkanes + hydroxide ions is....
Nucleophilic Substitution
7 of 29
The nucleophile for halogenoalkanes + water is ______ and for +OH- it is _______
water - hydroxide ion
8 of 29
The mechanism for halogenoalkane + cyanide ion is
Nucleophilic substitution
9 of 29
Which is not a condition for halogenoalkane + cyanide ion?
60 atmospheres pressure
10 of 29
Which is not a condition for halogenoalkane + ammonia
high pressure
11 of 29
halogenoalkane + ammonia ----->
primary amine + ammonium
12 of 29
halogenoalkane + OH (warm aqueous KOH) =
alcohol via substitution
13 of 29
halogenoalkane + OH (hot ethanolic KOH) =
alkene via elimination
14 of 29
Substitution happens more readily in ________ halogenoalkanes
primary
15 of 29
Elimination happens more readily in ________ halogenoalkanes
secondary + tertiary
16 of 29
Alcohols are more reactive than alkanes because which bonds are polar?
both
17 of 29
Chloroalkanes are prepared from alcohols by using
phosphorous pentachloride
18 of 29
Iodoalkanes are made by reacting alcohols with phosphorous bromide alone
Incorrect - use a mixture of red phosphorous + iodine
19 of 29
A primary alcohol is oxidised to an ___________
aldehyde..................and then to a carboxylic acid
20 of 29
A secondary alcohol is oxidised to a ___________
ketone
21 of 29
A tertiary alcohol is oxidised to a ___________
it does not oxidise
22 of 29
A primary alcohol is oxidised to an aldehyde ONLY if you carry out .......
distillation
23 of 29
Why is a reflux condenser used to oxidise a primary alcohol
to ensure once it oxidises into an aldehyde, it flows back down into the flask, where it oxidises again into a carboxylic acid
24 of 29
How to distinguish between different types of alcohol
add acidified potassium dichromate. turns green with 1 or 2 alcohols. 3 alcohols remain orange.
25 of 29
how to distinguish between primary + secondary alcohols
use mild oxidation agents such as Benedict's or Fehling's
26 of 29
What do aldehydes do in Benedict's
reduce Cu2+ to Cu+, precipitating in alkaline solution to give an orange/brown solution
27 of 29
Why are alcohols liquids at room temp
stronger intermolecular forces from hydrogen bonds
28 of 29
why are alcohols more reactive than alkanes
the C-O and O-H bonds are polar
