Study Notes
Organic Reactions
- Organic reactions are depicted with a single reaction arrow between starting materials and products.
- Reagent is often drawn above the arrow.
- Solvent and temperature are typically added above/below the arrow.
- "h" and "" symbols are used for reactions needing light and heat, respectively.
- When two sequential reactions are performed, they are numbered above/below the arrow to indicate order.
Kinds of Organic Reactions
- Addition: Two or more molecules merge into a larger one.
- Occurs in compounds with multiple bonds (C=C, C≡C, C=O, C=N).
- Elimination: One molecule splits into two.
- Often involves loss of hydrogen atoms to form a double bond.
- Rearrangement: Atoms within a molecule rearrange, leading to structural isomers (same formula, different arrangement).
- Substitution: One functional group is replaced by another.
Addition Reactions
- Addition of Halogens to Alkenes:
- Bromine and chlorine add to alkenes yielding 1,2-dihalides.
- F2 is too reactive, and I2 doesn't react.
- Cl2 reacts as Cl+ Cl- (chlorination).
- Br2 acts similarly.
- Addition of HX:
- H attaches to the carbon with fewer alkyl substituents.
- X attaches to the carbon with more alkyl substituents (Markovnikov's Rule).
- Addition of H2O to Alkenes:
- Follows Markovnikov's Rule.
- Alkene + water ----- alcohol (hydration).
- Addition Reactions to Alkynes:
- Addition of H2 using Lindlar catalyst produces a cis alkene.
- Addition of bromine produces a trans intermediate with excess reagent leading to tetrahalide.
Elimination Reactions
- Dehydration: Removal of water yields an alkene and water.
- Requires an acid catalyst.
- Examples:
- Ethanol --- ethene
- Cyclohexanol -- cyclohexene
- Dehydrogenation: Removal of hydrogen yields an alkene.
Rearrangement Reactions
- Often involve substituent movement within the molecule.
Substitution Reactions
- One functional group is replaced by another.
- Common examples occur when Z is hydrogen or a heteroatom.
- Halogenation of Benzene:
- Benzene replaced by chlorine or bromine atom.
- Catalyst needed (FeCl3 for chlorination, FeBr3 for bromination).
- Nitration of Benzene:
- Benzene replaced by a nitro (–NO2) group.
- Requires an acid catalyst (H2SO4).
- Sulfonation of Benzene:
- Benzene replaced by a —SO3H group.
- Requires an acid catalyst (H2SO4).
Substituent Effects in Aromatic Substitution
- Ortho- and Para-Directing Groups:
- Groups like –OH, NH2 direct substitution to 2- and 4- positions.
- Meta-Directing Groups:
- Groups like –NO2 direct substitution to the 3-position.
