Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
show pKa=-logKa. strong acids have high Ka's and small pka's. Phenol has small pka so most acidic of alcohols listed  
🗑
show from the reduction of aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, or esters. Lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4 or LAH) and sodium borohydride (NaBH4) two most common reducing reagents  
🗑
show arylsulfonic acids with hot NaOH. Or hydrolysis of diazonium salts.  
🗑
show Have lots of H's (NaBH4 and LiAlH4), oxidizing agents have lots of O's (KMnO4 and CrO3)  
🗑
show generally involves some form of chromium (VI) as oxidizing agents. PCC is only mild oxidizing agent, partially oxidizes 1^o alcohols to aldehyde  
🗑
Jones's oxidation   show
🗑
treatments of phenols with oxidizing reagents produces what   show
🗑
show do not H bond, boil approx. same temp as alaknes of comparable weight, only slightly polar, and slightly soluble in water. Most inert organic reagent so freq. used as solvents  
🗑
show produces ethers from the reaction of metal alkoxides with primary alkyl halides or tosylates  
🗑
show oxidation of an alkene with peroxy acid (RCOOOH)  
🗑
peroxides and ether   show
🗑
show are poor leaving groups  
🗑
show sym. either C can be attacked, asyn. most substituted C nuclophilically attacked when catalyzed with acid, least sub. attacked with a nucleophile (basic conditions)  
🗑
