CHEM 1110 - Table of Reactions

You are responsible for the following organic reactions:

Addition to Alkene
(also for alkynes)
 1.  CH2=CH2  +  X2  --->  CH2X-CH2X     (X = Cl, Br)
2.  CH2=CH2  +  HX  --->  CH3-CH2X     (X = F, Cl, Br)
3.  CH2=CH2  +  H2O  --->  CH3-CH2OH
 
Substitution on Alkane
 4.  CH3-CH3  +  X2  +  hv  --->  CH3-CH2X     (X = Cl, Br)
 
Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution (benzene rxns)
 5.  C6H6  +  X2  +  FeX3  --->  C6H5X     (X = Cl, Br)
6.  C6H6  +  RCl  +  AlCl3  --->  C6H5-R
7.  C6H6  +  RC(=O)Cl  +  AlCl3  --->  C6H5-C(=O)-R
8.  C6H6  +  HNO3  +  H2SO4  --->  C6H5-NO2
 
Oxidation Reactions
 9.  (1o alcohol)  R-CH2-OH  +  PCC  --->  R-C(=O)-H     (aldehyde)
10.  (1o alcohol)  R-CH2-OH  +  Na2Cr2O7  --->  R-C(=O)-OH     (carboxylic acid)
11.  (2o alcohol)  R2CH-OH  +  Na2Cr2O7  --->  R-C(=O)-R     (ketone)
12.  (aldehyde)  R-C(=O)-H  +  Na2Cr2O7  --->  R-C(=O)-OH     (carboxylic acid)
 
Reduction Reactions
 13.  (ketone)  R-C(=O)-R  +  (1) NaBH4  +  (2) H+  --->  R2CH-OH     (2o alcohol)
14.  (aldehyde)  R-C(=O)-H  +  (1) NaBH4  +  (2) H+  --->  RCH2-OH     (1o alcohol)
15.  (acid)  R-C(=O)-OH  +  LiAlH4  --->  RCH2-OH     (1o alcohol)

NOTE: the above reactions do not include "dehydration" reactions (to make an ester or an amide) - you should know these reactions exist and how H2O is eliminated from the two organic pieces.
