Reaction Pathways
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is an addition reaction? | Adding groups across a double bond |
| What is a nucleophilic substitution reaction | A reaction where one nucleophile is substituted for another |
| What is an elimination reaction? | A pair of atoms or group of atoms are removed from a molecule. Usually through the action of acids, bases or metals. |
| What is a reduction reaction? | |
| What is an oxidation reaction? | |
| What is a Grignard reaction? | |
| A carboxylic acid reaction with a base? | |
| What is the markovnikov rule? | The hydrogen adds to the carbon of the double bond with the most hydrogens attachec |
| What is hydration | Adding OH-H Across a double bond |
| What is hydrogenation | H2 Is added across a bouble bond |
| Haloalkanes to alkenes | A strong base removes hydrogen as H+ from the Beta carbon and the halogen from the alpha carbon |
| Beta Elimination | The process of converting a haloalkane to an alkene. A strong base removes hydrogen as H+ from the Beta carbon and the halogen from the alpha carbon |
| Alcohols to alkenes | A strong acid (H+) converts the hydroxyl group to water which is easily lost. The Beta hydrogen is lost as a a proton. |
| What is Zaitsevs rule? | Zaitsevs rule states that, the double bond will form in the middle of the molecule as it is the most stable part. This product will form most of the products |
| What reaction is OH- a reagent for | Substitution with base. OH- replaces a halogen |
| What reactions do NaOEt, KOBut or Other hindered bases catalyse | Elimi |
