CHM301 - 1st test: Topics for review

Please study the following topics for the first test:

1. IUPAC names and structural formula of alcohol, ketone and aldehyde. Consider structures which contain more than 1 class of functional groups.

2. Oxidation reaction of alcohols and aldehydes (ozonolysis or hydroxylation).

3. Reduction reaction of carbonyl groups.

4. Condensation reaction of carbonyl group with hydrazine derivatives.

5. Formation of alcoxide ion / salt from alcohol

6. Reaction of carbonyl group with the Grignard reagent.

7. Visual test:

                      i.        Alcohol (Lucas test / chromic acid test)

                     ii.        Carbonyl groups (Iodoform test/ Tollen’s test / Brady’s test / Fehling test)

8. The aldol condensation reaction of carbonyl groups.
