Organic Reactions
1. 3 basic kinds of reactions – similar to those from Chem 1 but called something else
a. Addition Reactions (like synthesis reactions)
i. Hydrogenation
1. saturating an unsaturated carbon chain
2. alkene/yne to alkane
ii. Hydration
1. alkene to alcohol
iii. Halogenation/Hydrohalogenation
1. alkane to haloalkane
2. alkene to haloalakane
b. Elimination Reactions (like synthesis reactions because they result in larger compounds)
i. Condensation
1. Esterification
2. Formation of alkene
3. Formation of amide (peptide bond)
c. Substitution Reactions (like single or double replacement reactions where one
atom/ion/functional group is replaced by another)
i. SN1
ii. SN2
2. Basic process of organic reactions is through attraction of positively and negatively charged
parts of molecules
a. Organic has special names for positively and negatively charged parts of a molecule




Electrophiles
“loves electrons” = attracted to
negative charge
maybe positively charged or have
deficit of electrons b/c atom is
attached to very electronegative
atom
carbon of carbonyl group
acids



Nucleophiles
“loves nuclei” = attracted to
positive charge
often negatively charged or
lone pairs
high electronegativity




alkenes
Hydroxide –OH
Chloride –Cl
Ammonia – NH3

b. many organic reactions happen through the attraction of electrophiles for nucleophiles
c. in reaction mechanisms, curly arrows show how electrons move – generally electrons
from nucleophile move to electrophile
3. Alkanes are relatively inert compared to other functional groups
a. Alkenes have pi bonds in which electrons are easily accessible b/c they aren’t trapped
between two nuclei as sigma bonding electrons are.
b. Other functional groups have highly electronegative atoms like O, N or halogens
4. The table below gives the characteristic reactions for several functional groups
a. The name of the rxn is given followed by what it makes in ( )

Reactions
1. Halogenation of alkane
a. Alkane + halogen gas  haloalkane
b. Need ultraviolet light for rxn to occur
c. Depending on time and amount of reactants, more than one halogen can added to the
alkane

e. Reaction occurs through homolytic fission to form a free radical (HL only)
i. Free radical is a element or molecule with an unpaired electron
ii. Homolytic fission vs Heterolytic fission:
1. Fission means splitting apart
2. Homolytic means the bond is split in half – each side takes 1 electron and
2 free radicals are formed
3. Heterolytic means that one atom takes both electrons in the bond and
two ions are formed.
iii. Formation of free radicals often results in chain reactions – reaction keeps
occurring until all reactant is used up. See polymerization notes form mechanism.
2. Hydrohalogenation
a. Alkene + acid halide  monohaloalkane
b. Halide ion adds to larger side (more substituted side of alkene)

c. Reaction occurs through heterolytic fission to form an ion (HL only)
i. The first step is the attraction of the electrophile (Hydrogen ion) to the electrons in
the pi bond. This forms a carbocation.
ii. The carbocation that is more substituted (has more carbons attached to it) is the
most stable.
iii. The negatively charged halogen (nucleophile) adds to the carbocation to form
the halogenated alkene.

4. Halogenation
a. Alkene + halogen gas  1,2-dihaloalkane
b. Diatomic gas has two atoms – both add to opposite sides of the double bond (and
opposite sides of the molecule)
c. Uses: Chlorine + ethane  1,2-dichloroethane: used as starting material for PVC
d. Uses: Br2 dissolved in dichloromethane is used to distinguish between alkenes and alkanes. If
reddish-brown color of Br2 disappears when added to unknown, the unknown has alkenes in it.

5. Hydrogenation
a. Alkene + Hydrogen gas (with catalyst)  alkane
b. Hydrogenation is saturating an unsaturated hydrocarbon
c. Also called reduction (carbon is reduced in this reaction but is also reduced in many of
the reactions above)
d. Heterogeneous Catalyst: Pd or PtO2 (rxn occurs on a metal surface)
e. Uses: unsaturated vegetable oils are saturated to produce saturated fats (more solid at room
temp than unsaturated) for margarines

7. Amide formation
a. Carboxylic acid + amine  amide + water
b. Reaction condition: difficult to conduct in simple steps since amine (a base) and acid
basically neutralize each other. To form amide, other reactions that “protect” important
functional groups are required.
c. The OH group on the carboxylic acid is replaced by the amine (NH-R)
d. Condensation rxn: produces water
e. Uses: peptide bond formation, polymerization reactions to make nylons

8. Oxidation of alcohol
a. Alcohol + oxidizing agent  COOH (1,
/Aldehyde (1, partial)/Ketone (2)
b. Reaction condition: aqueous, acidic solution.
The carboxylic acid and the
aldehyde vapor
aldehyde can be obtained through
different experimental set-ups
i. Distill to get aldehyde
1. To distill you heat up the solution
and collect the
boling solution
vapor
complete)
water out
condensing tube
water in
ii. Heat under reflux to get COOH
condensing tube
1. heat under reflux means you want to
heat it for a long time w/o having it evaporate
water in
2. to heat under reflux you need to attached a
condensing tube to your flask so that vapors
condense before they can escape
boling solution
