Re: Reagents and conditions for reactions in organic chemist
alcohol----> chloroalkanes
1. Use PCL5, By products : POCL3, HCL
2. PCL3, By products : H3PO3
3. SOCL2. By products : S02 + HCL
alcohols----> Bromoalkanes
1. Used red phosphorous 4PBR2
2. Use HBR gas, which is made by the following reaction :
Kbr+H2SO4---> K2SO4 + HBR
alcohols----> Iodoalkanes
red phosphorous with I2, i.e. 4PI3
test for OH group, ( add Pcl5, misty fumes of Hcl produced)
oxidation of alcohols,
Primary alcohols + Secondary alcohols are oxidises. They change the solution colour. with Kmno4 the solution turns from purple to colourless) and from orange to green with K2Cr03
esterification : alcohol+carboxylic acid
needs conc H2SO4 as a catalyst
reduction of ketone/aldehyde needs NABH4 in methanol. Produces alcohol
testing for carbonyl group
add 2,4 DNHP . A yellow/orange ppt is formed
testing between aldehyde and ketone
1. Add tollens reagent ( AgNo3) ----> Aldehyde give silver mirror
2. Fehling solution (Cu+2)----> aldehydes reduces it and a red ppt is formed of Cu2O
cyanohydrin-----> carboxylic acid
need dilute Hcl
ester hydrolysis (acidic)
need dil Hcl
ester hydrolysis (alkali)
add aq. NaOH, sa salt + alcohol made
