CIE A Level Chemistry復習筆記3.9.3 Synthetic Routes
Analysis of Synthetic Routes
- Students should be able to critically analyse given synthetic routes and determine whether appropriate reagents and reaction conditions are used
- Students should also be able to predict possible by-product of a synthetic reaction
Worked Example: Two-step synthesis
Answer
The correct answer is??D
The first step involves a nucleophilic addition of CN-?using NaCN as catalyst and heat to form a hydroxynitrile.
In the second step, the nitrile is refluxed with dilute aqueous sulfuric acid causing hydrolysis of the nitrile forming a carboxylic acid and ammonium salt.
Worked Example: Synthesis of hexanoic acid
Answer
The correct answer is?C
Halogenoalkanes can undergo?nucleophilic substitution?with ethanolic KCN in which the CN-?ion acts as a nucleophile and replaces the chlorine atom in 1-chloropentane to form a?nitrile.
The treatment of nitriles with concentrated hydrochloric acid will produce a carboxylic acid and an ammonium salt.
In this case, hexanoic acid and ammonium chloride will be formed.
