Catalyst and conditions for cracking alkanes
Heat, Al2O3 catalyst
1 of 21
Hydrogenation of alkenes
Nickel catalyst, 150º
2 of 21
Oxidation of alcohols
Acidified (with sulphuric acid) sodium/potassium dichromate, reflux to oxidise all the way (if primary goes to carboxylic acid), distil to stop at aldehyde
3 of 21
Halogenoalkanes + aqueous hydroxide or water
Reflux
4 of 21
Halogenoalkanes + alcoholic KOH
Reflux and heat
5 of 21
Halogenoalkanes + alcoholic NH3
conc./excess ammonia to reduce chances of further substitution, heat, sealed tube
6 of 21
Esterification of carboxylic acid (adding an alcohol)
acidic conditions, reflux
7 of 21
Acyl chloride and ammonia
Ammonia must be concentrated
8 of 21
Acid hydrolysis of esters
Acid catalyst, reflux
9 of 21
Base hydrolysis of esters
Boil with KOH or NaOH

Addition of HCN to carbonyls
KCN in cold alkaline conditions
12 of 21
Formation of 'iodoform' (triiodomethane) from carbonyls
1st step: NaOH, warm. 2nd step: excess NaOH
13 of 21
Substitution reaction of bromine with benzene
FeBr3 catalyst
14 of 21
