Organic Chemistry Reactions Quiz: Test Your Knowledge with Flashcards

What reagent is used to convert primary alcohols to primary alkyl halides?

Which compound can be produced by reacting propene with ethyl magnesium chloride?

What is the product when propan-1-ol is treated with a Grignard reagent?

How can an alcohol be converted into an aldehyde according to the text?

What is the purpose of treating an aldehyde with a Grignard reagent?

Which reaction is involved in converting benzoyl chloride to benzaldehyde?

The process involves the conversion of primary alcohols to primary alkyl halides using HBr and H2SO4.
Propene is then reacted with ethyl magnesium chloride to produce a primary alcohol called propan-1-ol.
Propan-1-ol is treated with a Grignard reagent to form a secondary alcohol.
If one wants to convert an alcohol into an aldehyde, it can be done by reacting it with copper at 573 Kelvin to form an aldehyde like CH3CHO.
The aldehyde can then be treated with a Grignard reagent to introduce a new carbon chain.
The Grignard reagent is important as it can help in increasing the carbon chain length.
By reacting benzal chloride with water, benzaldehyde can be produced.
Benzaldehyde can be further converted to benzoic acid by reacting it with KMnO4.
Acetophenone can be converted to benzoic acid by reacting it with I2 in the presence of KOH.
The text also discusses the conversion of ethanoic acid to acetic anhydride by reacting it with SOCl2.
The process of converting benzoyl chloride to benzaldehyde involves a Clemmensen reduction reaction.
The text emphasizes different reactions and conversions involving various chemical compounds and reagents.
