Reactions Organized by Compound Families

Alkanes

1. Combustion

2. Halogenation

Alkenes and Alkynes

1. Additions: hydrogenation, halogenation,

hydrohalogenation, hydration

2. Polymerization

Aromatic Compounds

Substitutions: nitration, halogenation, sulfonation

Alcohols

1. Elimination: dehydration

2. Oxidations

Thiols

Oxidation

Amines

Acid-Base reactions

Aldehydes and Ketones

1. Addition: Acetal/hemiacetal formation by alcohol

addition

(Reverse rxn: Acetal hydrolysis with acid)

2. Oxidation and Reduction for aldehydes

(*Ketones go through reduction only)

Carboxylic Acids

1. Substitutions: esterification, amidation

(Reverse rxns: ester hydrolysis with acid or base, amide hydrolysis with acid or base)

2. Acid-base reactions

Phosphoric acid and Phosphates

Phosphoric acid: Esterification with alcohol

Phosphates: Phosphorylation
