Reactions of Alcohols
Flashcards do conjunto (9)
- 1Alcohols will react with compounds containing halide ions (e.g. NaBr). What is this reaction called?Substitution reaction
- 2What happens during a substitution reaction involving alcohols and compounds containing halide ions?The -OH group is replaced by the halide, so the alcohol is transformed into a haloalkane
- 3What are the reactants and conditions required for a substitution reaction in alcohols to form haloalkanes?A compound containing a halide (e.g. NaBr)
Acid catalyst (e.g. H₂SO₄) - 4Give a general balanced symbol equation for the reaction between R-OH and NaXR-OH + NaX --> R-X + Na⁺ + H₂O
- 5Alkenes can be made from alcohols. What type of reaction does this involve?Elimination reaction
(Sometimes called a dehydration reaction) - 6Give a general equation for the elimination of water to form an alkene from an alcohol, showing the displayed formula of the reactants and products
- 7What is the water molecule that is eliminated made up from?The -OH group and a hydrogen atom that was bonded to a carbon atom adjacent to the hydroxyl carbon
- 8TRUE OR FALSE: There are two possible alkene products from one eliminationTRUE
The product depends on which side of the hydroxyl group the hydrogen is eliminated from - 9Complete the sentence: Sometimes an alkene product can form ______ isomers - if this is the case then a mixture of BOTH will form.Sometimes an alkene product can form E/Z isomers - if this is the case then a mixture of BOTH will form.
