5 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What must be done to the -OH group before it can leave during substitution?
Think about converting the -OH to a different form for better reactivity.
Name one halogenating agent used in alcohol substitution.
Think of compounds that contain halogens.
What type of reaction replaces the -OH group in alcohols?
Think about the process of replacing groups.
True or False: The -OH group in alcohols is a good leaving group.
Recall the characteristics of good leaving groups.
Explain the role of protonation in the substitution reaction mechanism of alcohols. How does it affect the type of mechanism (SN1 or SN2) preferred?
Consider how the leaving group's stability is impacted by protonation.
If you were to mix ethanol with PCl5, outline the chemical reaction(s) that would occur and the products formed.
Think about what happens to the alcohol and the products that come from PCl5.
