Types of Alcohol Reactions HH H Dehydration to alkene ·xidation to aldehyde, ketone Substitution to form alkyl halide Reduction to alkane ·Esterification ·Tosylation Williamson synthesis of ether

Classification Primary: carbon with -OH is bonded to one other carbon. Secondary: carbon with-OH is bonded to two other carbons. · Tertiary: carbon with-OH is bonded to three other carbons. Aromatic(phenol): -OH is bonded to a benzene ring

Introduction Alkynes contain a triple bond. General formula is C.H2n-2 Two elements of unsaturation for each triple bond. · Some reactions are like alkenes: addition and oxidation. · Some reactions are specific to alkynes

Reactivity of C=C C—C Electrons in pi bond are loosely held Electrophiles are attracted to the pi electrons. · Carbocation intermediate forms. Nucleophile adds to the carbocation. · Net result is addition to the double bond

Functional Group Pi bond is the functional group. · More reactive than sigma bond. · Bond dissociation energies:

Classes of Halides Alkyl: Halogen, X, is directly bonded to sp3 carbon. Vinyl: X is bonded to sp2 carbon of alkene. Aryl: is bonded to sp2 carbon on benzene ring. Examples:

Chirality \Handedness\: right glove doesn't fit the left hand. Mirror-image object is different from the original object

To determine reaction''s mechanism, look at: Equilibrium constant Free energy change Enthalpy Entropy Bond dissociation energy Kinetics >Activation energy

Alkane Formulas All C-C single bonds Saturated with hydrogens Ratio:H n2n+2 Alkane homologs:ch3(ch2)nCH3 Same ratio for branched alkanes

Wave Properties of Electrons Standing wave vibrates in fixed location. Wave function, w, mathematical description of size, shape, orientation Amplitude may be positive or negative Node: amplitude is zero
