Important tricky points to learn organic conversions.
The following are very important points to consider when you solve organic conversions. Examples of all points are written in the last in the form of notes and video lecture.
1- Increment of Carbon atom
Number of carbon atoms can be increased by halogenation and Wurtz synthesis.
2- Decrement of Carbon atom
Carbon atoms can be decreased from compound by decarboxylation of carboxylic acid.
3- Increment of the number of bonds
Number of C-C bonds can be increased by either Halogenation + dehydrogenation or by Kolbe’s electrolysis.
4- Decrement of the number of bonds
Number of C-C bonds can be increased by dehydrogenation.
5- Increment of C + formation of COOH
If you have to increase the number of C with the formation of carboxylic acid, then two methods may be used.
i. using Grignard’s reagent reaction with Carbon dioxide and
ii. prepare nitrile (Cyanide) and do its hydrolysis.
6- Oxidation of alkane
By doing oxidation following reactions occur.
(Alkane → alcohol → aldehyde/ketone → carboxylic acid)
7- Reduction of carboxylic acid
By doing reduction following reactions occur. which are contrary to oxidation reactions.
(Carboxylic acid → Aldehyde→ alcohol→ alkane)
To understand the above-mentioned points following examples should be considered.
