Exam III Nomenclature Mechanisms Reactions Syntheses Stereochemistry

Nomenclature: -be able to name: alkenes (don’t forget geometric isomerism) dienes alkynes

Mechanisms: -be able to outline all steps in the following mechanisms using curved arrow formalism and labeling the rate determining step: E 2 E 1 ionic electrophilic addition free radical electrophilic addition

mechanisms for: dehydrohalogenation of alkyl halides dehydration of alcohols addition of halogens to alkenes addition of hydrogen halides to alkenes addition of water/acid to alkenes addition of halogens/water to alkenes addition of hydrogen bromide/peroxide to alkenes

Reactions: -be able to write the structures for the products in the syntheses and the reactions of alkenes dienes alkynes

Syntheses: -be able to outline possible laboratory syntheses for alkenes dienes alkynes

Stereochemistry: -be able to define “stereoselective” and “stereospecific”. -be able to use Fischer projections to show the stereochemistry in the products for addition of halogens to alkenes, hydroxylation with KMn. O 4 and HCO 3 H, and E 2. -given the Fischer projections for the products of stereospecific reactions, be able to show the structures for the alkene reactants. -given the structures of the reactants and the products be able to state whether a reaction is syn- or anti-.
