- Grignard reagent (RMgX) reacts with
Show answer
aldehydes to form secondary alcohols (primary alcohol only with formaldehyde) and ketones to form tertiary alcohols- What does Grignard (RMgX) with CO2 followed by aqueous workup form?
Show answer
carboxylic acid (RCO2H)- Wittig reaction (ylide plus carbonyl) produces
Show answer
alkene with predictable geometry- Friedel-Crafts alkylation requires
Show answer
benzene, an alkyl halide (secondary/tertiary preferred; primary halides can rearrange), and a Lewis acid catalyst (AlCl3)- Friedel-Crafts acylation produces
Show answer
aromatic ketone from benzene and acyl chloride with AlCl3- HBr with alkene in presence of peroxide gives
Show answer
anti-Markovnikov product (Br on less substituted carbon)- HX (HCl, HBr) with alkene without peroxide gives
Show answer
Markovnikov product (H on less substituted, X on more substituted carbon)- Hydroboration-oxidation of alkene produces
Show answer
syn, anti-Markovnikov alcohol (OH on the less substituted carbon, added on the same face as boron)- Oxymercuration (Hg(OAc)2, H2O then NaBH4) produces
Show answer
Markovnikov alcohol from alkene- Catalytic hydrogenation (H2 with Pt, Pd, or Ni) of alkene gives
Show answer
saturated alkane- Lindlar catalyst is used for
Show answer
selective reduction of alkynes to cis-alkenes- LiAlH4 reduces
Show answer
carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acids, esters, and alkyl halides to alcohols or alkanes- NaBH4 reduces
Show answer
aldehydes and ketones to primary and secondary alcohols respectively- Jones oxidation (CrO3 in H2SO4 and acetone) converts
Show answer
primary alcohols to carboxylic acids and secondary alcohols to ketones- PCC (pyridinium chlorochromate) oxidizes
Show answer
primary alcohols to aldehydes and secondary alcohols to ketones without over-oxidation
