Question
Answer
Define alcohol   Compound that contains an -OH group attached to an sp3 hybridized carbon  
🗑
Define thiol   Compound that contains an -SH group attached to an sp3 hybridized carbon  
🗑
When naming, how do you number the parent chain? By double bond, triple bond, -x, or -OH   -OH  
🗑
Alcohol nomenclature   add #-ol to the end after the e in the main name  
🗑
Common names: 1. methanol 2. ethanol 3. 1-propanol 4. 2-propanol 5. 1,2-ethanediol   1. methyl alcohol 2. ethyl alcohol 3. propyl alcohol 4. isopropyl alcohol 5. ethylene glycol  
🗑
Nomenclature for thiols   Main chain that contains SH = alkane+thiol  
🗑
Which has a higher boiling point and why between an alkane and an alcohol   Alcohol because the H-bond interactions are harder to break up  
🗑
Which are more soluble in water and why between an alkane and an alcohol   Alcohol because of their ability to hydrogen bond to water  
🗑
The best way to form alkoxides is ___________   to treat alcohol with metals (Li, Na, and K)  
🗑
___>___>___ alcohols at Sn1   3o>2o(w/ branching)>1o (won't happen)  
🗑
Primary alcohols proceed through ____ mechanism   Sn2  
🗑
Why would you want to activate an alcohol   To make it a good leaving group  
🗑
What are Ts/Ms examples of and why would we use them   sulfonates; very good leaving groups  
🗑
How are sulfonates prepared   From alcohols and sulfonyl chlorides in teh presence of a base  
🗑
3o alcohols will react through ____ mechanism because they are the easiest to dehydrate   E1  
🗑
2o alcohols will dehydrate through _______ mechanism but require higher temperatures   E1  
🗑
1o alcohols will dehydrate through an ____ mechanism but this reaction is very slow   E2  
🗑
What is the product of an oxidation of a. 1o alcohol; b. 2o alcohol; c. 3o alcohol   a. aldehyde/carboxylic acid b. ketone c. No rxn  
🗑
What are the oxidizing agents used for alcohols   H2CrO4 PCC  
🗑
Why would you use PCC rather than H2CrO4 to oxidize a 1o alcohol   To stop it at the aldehyde stage  
🗑
The most common oxidation of thiol is ____________________   The conversion of 2 thiols into a disulfide  
🗑
What is the structure and bond angle of an ether?   C-O-C; 110.3  
🗑
IUPAC rules for naming and ether   Se4lect the longest parent chain and name the -OR group attached to it as an alkoxy substituent  
🗑
How do the boiling points compare between ethers, alcohols, and alkanes?   Ethers/alkanes << alcohols because of H-bonding in alcohols  
🗑
How does solubility in H2O compare between ethers, alcohols, and alkanes?   Alchohols>ethers>alkanes (none)  
🗑
An ether is an H-bond _______ while an alchol is an H-bond ___________   acceptor; donor.. can be both  
🗑
Differentiate between common characteristics of H-bond donors & acceptors   Donor: Contain an acidic proton (H); Acceptor: Contain a lone pair of electrons  
🗑
What are the two ways ethers can be prepared?   1. Williamson Ether synthesis (Sn2); 2. Acid catalyzed addition of alcohols to alkenes (Electrophilic Addition)  
🗑
What is wiliamson ether synthesis and how do you determine how it is accomplished?   Sn2 displacement of a halide ion by an alkoxide; least substituted alkyl halide (1o>2o>3o) is the determiner  
🗑
What is acid catalyzed addition of alcohols to alkenes?   Alkene + acid&alcohol ---> ether (via electrophilic addition)  
🗑
When do you need to use acid base chemistry at the end of a mechanism?   When you use a neutral nucleophile which generates a positive ion  
🗑
What is an epoxide?   3-membered ring ether  
🗑
What are the two ways to form epoxides?   1. Sn2 of alkoky halides; 2. Alkene & peroxycarboxylic acid  
🗑
Nomenclature of ethers (common)   List alkyl groups attached to O in alphabetical order and add the word ether to the end  
🗑
Sn2 displacement/opening of epoxide can form what 3 types of compounds?   Nitrile, ether, alkyne  
🗑
