Document Summary

Organic reactions (refer to organic notes p. 35; table of rxns p. 36) This group is generally lacking in reactivity due to strength & non-polar nature of bonds inert to common strong acids (e. g. , h2so4, hcl) inert to common strong bases (e. g. , naoh) inert to oxidising agents (e. g. , mno4. Much of the chemistry of alkanes involves free radicals. Products separated by fractional distillation: bromination: rxn with br2, uv light or heat. Ch4 + br2/h ch3br + ch2br2 + chbr3 + cbr4. Reactivity of halogens: f2 > cl2 > br2 > i2. Preferred order of reactivity with h"s in molecule: tertiary (3 ) > secondary (2 ) > primary (1 ) 12 or h chlorination reaction mechanism: cl2 2cl chain initiation step h or . H h: cl + h-c-h h-c + hcl. Ch3 + cl2 ch3cl + cl steps: 2 cl cl2. Ch3 + cl ch3cl steps chain termination. Question 1: how many different monobrominated products result from.
