Formation of Nitriles: Nitrile group is –CN. 1) Haloalkanes to Nitriles: Haloalkanes reacted with sodium or potassium cyanide NaCN/ KCN in ethanol. In this reaction length of carbon chain increased. This is an example of nucleophilic substitution. 2) Aldehydes/...
Filtration under Reduced Pressure: Need Buchner flask, Buchner funnel, pressure tubing, filter paper and vacuum pump. This separates solid product from liquid. Process: Connect tube from vacuum pump to Buchner flask. Fit Buchner funnel to flask using Buchner rubber...
Important to identify all functional groups correctly on starting and target molecule. If two functional groups on compound, need to write reactions that change one functional group and then write reactions that change the other functional group, independent of one...
