Organich Chemistry Synthesis

Add a branched group Tag a Br on the end that adds to ring, use AlCl3 as catalyst Add a halide -Cl FeCl3 Cl-Cl Add NO2 HNO3 H2SO4 Convert NO2 to NH2 ZnHg & HCl or H2Pd Convert NH2 to NO2 oxidize CR3COOOH Reduce something with a double bond to oxygen to a single-bond hydrocarbon ZnHg & HCl or H2Pd Oxidize a hydrocarbon to contain a double bonded oxygen CrO3 H2SO4 H2O Oxidize an alkyl KMnO4 Total reduction (including armomaticity) H2Pt at 2000psi or H2Rh Add SO3 SO3 H2SO4 Remove SO3 H3O+ H2O Grignard Reaction Grignard reaction. This reaction adds a halomagnesium reagent (Grignard reagent) to a carbonyl to make an alcohol. Diels-Alder Diels-Alder reaction. This reaction takes a diene and a dienophile to make ringed and bicyclic products. Makes 2 C-C bonds. Friedel-Crafts Friedel-Crafts reactions (for aromatic rings). This reaction makes an aromatic-carbon bond. Wittig The Wittig Reaction. Makes a carbon-carbon double bond starting with a carbonyl compound phosphonium ylide Cyanide addition Cyanide additions to primary halides. Acetylide Reactions Acetylide reactions. These reactions involve use of an acetylide (a deprotonated terminal alkyne) as a nucleophile. Typically, the acetylide is used to attack a primary halide (or a carbonyl group to make an alcohol.
