Document Summary

Alkanes are unreactive (saturated vs. unsaturated fats) but they can be made to react using the highly reactive halogens. Once the halogen has been substituted onto the carbon chain, it provides a site for further reactions to occur. Add x2 and heat ( ) or light (hv) Markovnikov"s rule the oh- (or any ve ion) attaches to the carbon with the most other carbons attached to it. (at the reaction site) see board. Fwd add weak oxidizing agent [o] to a 1o alcohol. Rev add a reducing agent [r] to aldehyde. Fwd acid + alcohol esterification (dehydration) 9 ester amide add amine to ester. R-ch=ch-r + h2 r-ch2-ch2-r pressure or triple c=c + h2 c=c. Mix two alcohols with conc h2so4 as a dehydrating agent conc. These reactions are but a few organic chemistry reactions with simple reactants. The longer the chain the more products that can occur.
