-
__is a complex of chromium trioxide, pyridine, and HCl.
Oxidizes primary alcohols to __.Oxidizes secondary alcohols to __
-
What do tertiary alcohols get oxidized to?
nothing; they cannot be oxidized
-
Tertiary Alcohols:
Caron does not have __, so oxidation is difficult and involves the breakage of a __.
Chromic acid test is for __because tertiary alcohols do not react. __ color of Cr(VII) turns __- Cr(III); tertiary alcohol is not oxidized, therefore __.
- hydrogen
- C—C bond
- primary and secondary alcohols
- Orange
- green
- no color change
-
•__ (household bleach) can oxidize alcohols without heavy metals or generating hazardous waste.
This is a much better option for acid-sensitive compounds
Sodium hypochlorite
-
•__, with __and __, oxidizes 2° alcohols to __and 1° alcohols to __(same as __). This reaction is called the __.
- Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)
- oxalyl chloride
- hindered base
- ketones
- aldehydes
- PCC
- Swern Oxidation
-
Oxidation summary of primary:
R-OH + Chromic acid and NaOCl --> carboxylic acid
R-OH + PCC --> aldehyde
R-OH + DMP, DMSO (Swern) --> aldehyde
-
Reduction Summary
Reduction of aldehyde or ketone to alcohol--> NaBH4 and LiAlH4
Reduction of carboxylic acid or ester--> LiAlH4
Reduction by Raney Nickel
-
Conversion of alcohol into a leaving group
- form tosylate (p-TsCl, pyridine)
- use strong acid (H3O+)
- convert to alkyl halide (HX, SOCl2, PBr3)
-
How to Form p-Toluenesolfonate esters
alcohol + TSOH
(R-O-H + HO-Ts <---> R-O-Ts + H2O)
-
Substitution and Elimination Reactions using Tosylates:
Attack by a nucleophile (back side attack) displaces the leaving group and adds the nucleophile in substitution
Attack by a base deprotonates the molecule, moving the electrons to become a double bond, causing the OTs to leave
-
R-OTs + LiAlH4-->
R-OTs + R'-O- -->
R-H and -OTs
R-O-R' + -OTs
-
Base to use p-TsCl with pyridine
R-OH + Cl-Ts---> ROTs + HCl
-
Reduction of alcohols
dehydrate with concentrated H2So4 then add H2
CH3-CH2-OH ---(H2SO4)--> CH2=CH2--- (H2, Pt)--> CH3-CH3
-
Alcohols to Alkyl Halides:
- Tertiary
- Secondary
(CH3)3-C-OH + HX (HCl, HBr)---> (CH3)3-CX: rapid Sn1 (forms a tertiary carbocation)
R2-CH-OH + HX ---> R2-CH-X
-
Reaction of alcohols with acids:
-The __ is protonated by an __ to convert it into a good leaving group (H2O)
- Once the alcohol is protonated, a __ or __ can take place.
- hydroxyl group
- acid
- leaving group
- substitution
- elimination
-

What is the Lucas Test? Why is it used?
It is the formation of two separate layers when a reaction occurs with an alkyl bromide
the Lucas reagent is utilized in a reaction to form the alkyl halide (HCl + ZnCl2)
Secondary react with the Sn1 mechanism, as do tertiary
Primary react with the Sn2 (slow)
- The Lucas Test:
- tertiary react less than a minute
- secondary react 1-5 minutes
- primary take forever to react
-
Sn2 reaction with the Lucas Reagent:
1) __ react with the Lucas reagent by the Sn2 mechanism
2) Reaction is very slow. The reaction can take from __ to __.
primary alcohols
- several minutes
- several days
-
Other qualitative tests:
- Alcohols
- Alkenes
With chromic acid, primary and secondary go from orange to green/blue
alkenes: reddish-brown--> colorless
-
Primary and secondary alcohols: best to use what to make alkyl halides?
All are __.
CH3-OH ---> SOCl2---> CH3-Cl
CH3-OH ---> PBr3--> CH3-Br
CH3-OH ---> CH3-I
-
Thionyl Chloride mechanism in pyridine is __. What is the mechanism?
Sn2 inversion
