Summary
Organic chemistry covers reactions and mechanisms. Students learn about different types of reactions and how to understand their mechanisms.
Three Types of Reactions
Substitution reactions replace one group with another. Elimination reactions turn alkyl halides or alcohols into alkenes. Addition reactions add two groups across a double bond.
Addition Reactions Details
Addition reactions can be Markovnikov or anti-Markovnikov. They can also be syn or anti. Students consider what groups are added and the expected regioselectivity and stereospecificity.
Mechanisms of Addition Reactions
Students learn about mechanisms of different addition reactions. These include hydrohalogenation, acid-catalyzed hydration, oxymercuration-demercuration, and hydroboration-oxidation. Each has its own regioselectivity and stereospecificity.
Other Reactions
Students learn about other reactions. These include addition of OH and OH across an alkene, addition of OH group in alkynes, replacement with a halogen, preparation of diols, preparation via Grignard reagent, and oxidation of phenol.
Key terms
- Markovnikov Addition
- The substituent is placed in the more substituted vinylic position.
- Anti-Markovnikov addition
- The substituent is placed in the less substituted vinylic position.
- Syn addition
- Addition of H and X across a double bond.
- Regioselectivity
- The preference of a reaction to proceed through the more stable carbocation.
- Carbocation rearrangements
- A secondary carbocation can be converted to a tertiary carbocation.
- Grignard reagent
- A reagent formed from an alkyl halide and magnesium.
