Organic Synthesis (A Level only) (AQA A-Level Chemistry): Flashcards

$\frac{\text{Mr of desired product}}{\text{Mr of all reactants}} \times 100$

Saves time, reduces side reactions, higher yield

Flammable, toxic, create waste

Adding reducing agent; add $H$ or remove $O$

Acidified potassium dichromate ($K_2Cr_2O_7/H^+$)

Breaking down compounds by adding water

Two molecules join, releasing small molecule like water

Carbon-carbon double bonds (alkenes)

Alcohols (from Grignard reagent + carbonyl compounds)

Homogeneous (soluble) and heterogeneous (insoluble)
