Document Summary
C h a p t e r 1 2. Like halides, alcohols are often classified by the type of carbon they are attached to: both functional groups possess the carbonyl group. Alcohols can be synthesized from alkyl halides via substitution. The substitution occurs by sn1 or sn2 depending on the substrate. Alcohols can be synthesized from alkenes via addition reactions: recall that acid-catalyzed hydration yields. 19. 4 nucleophilic addition reactions: carbonyl carbon is electrophilic resonance effects and inductive effects. Reduction of an ester requires 2 equivalents of hydride. Grignard reagents: grignard reagents are often used in the synthesis of alcohols. The carbon atom behaves like a carbon anion, and is a strong nucleophile, as well as a strong base. 12. 9 reactions of alcohols: 3 alcohols area converted to alkyl halides with hx (sn1 rxn) For 1o or 2o, the reaction occurs via sn2: alcohols under elimination in acidic conditions, 3o follow an sn1 mechanism under these conditions.
