Organic Chemistry – 15.1 – Types of Organic Reactions
• A Combustion Reactions
• We will focus on complete combustions:
hydrocarbon + O2(g) CO2(g) + H2O(g) + energy
• Cellular respiration is a complete combustion (but H2O(l) is produced)

Organic Chemistry – 15.1 – Types of Organic Reactions
• Your text has numerous
examples of addition reactions on page 590 and 591
• Read about trans fats on page 592
C = C C = C CH2 – O – C - R
CH2 – O – C - R CH – O – C – R R′ R′ = = = O O O H H H H

trans linkage
cis linkage
Organic Chemistry – 15.1 – Types of Organic Reactions
• C Elimination Reactions
• Essentially the reverse of addition – less
bonds
• Alcohols undergo elimination to produce water and an alkene
• Alkyl halides can undergo elimination to
C = C + Y – Z
- C – C - Y Z
Organic Chemistry – 15.1 – Types of Organic Reactions
• D Substitution Reactions
• Like name implies, something leaves and is replaced by something else
• Examples pages 593 and 594
• Note that for halogens + alkanes, reaction is very slow (essentially doesn’t occur) without presence of ultraviolet light

• E Esterification
• Esterification is a type of elimination reaction – water is produced
R - C – OH =
O
+ HO - R′ R - C – = O - R′
O
+ HOH
carboxylic
acid alcohol ester water
H2SO4
Organic Chemistry – 15.1 – Types of Organic Reactions
• Example:
CH3 – CH2 – C – O - H + H - O-CH= 3
O H
Organic Chemistry – 15.1 – Types of Organic Reactions
• Example:
=
O
CH3 – CH2 – C – O – CH3 + HOH
CH3 – CH2 – C – O - H + H - = O-CH3
O H
2SO4
methyl propanoate
• I prefer to write it in reverse direction (alcohol 1st) to make naming ester easier
CH3 – O – H + H – O – C – CH= 2 – CH3 CH3 – O – C – CH2 – CH3 + HOH
O
=
O
H2SO4
methyl propanoate

Organic Chemistry – 15.2 – Polymers and the Petrochemical Industry
• Bromine test for double bonds
• Bromine, Br2, forms a brown solution (remember
electrolysis of KBr(aq)
• If Br2(aq) is mixed with an alkene or alkyne,
addition will occur and the brown colour will disappear in the aqueous layer
• If Br2(aq) is mixed with an alkane or aromatic,
Organic Chemistry – 15.1 – Types of Organic Reactions
• Read “Octane-Enhancing Compounds” page 599 and
• “Replacing CFC’s” page 600
Organic Chemistry – 15.2 – Polymers and the Petrochemical Industry
• Polymer: a large long chain molecule with repeating units of small molecules called
monomers
• Plastics: polymers that can be heated and shaped into specific shapes and forms
Organic Chemistry – 15.2 – Polymers and the Petrochemical Industry
• Addition polymerization
the reaction is an addition reaction as studied earlier
• Example: polyethylene
CH2=CH2 + CH2=CH2 -CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2- + CH2=CH2

Organic Chemistry – 15.2 – Polymers and the Petrochemical Industry
• Ethene (ethylene) is required for the manufacture of many substances in Alberta’s petrochemical industry
• Ethane, obtained from petroleum refining is
“cracked” to produce ethene by catalytic cracking: C2H6(g) CH2=CH2(g) + H2(g)
ethane ethene
• Ethene is used to produce ethylene glycol (ethane-1,2-diol), polyethylene, and
polyvinyl chloride

• Manufacture of PVC (polyvinyl chloride): Step 1:
• Step 2:
C = C (g) + Cl2(g) - C – C - (g) Cl Cl
reaction type?
Cl Cl
- C – C – (g) C = C (g) + HCl(g) Cl
reaction type?
HCl from step 2 reacted with more ethene to produce more Cl Cl

• Heath and Environmental Concerns:
• Vinyl chloride: was found in the 1970’s to be carcinogenic. Workers protected today by government legislation
• Manufacture and disposal of PVC may produce dioxins – highly toxic
Biggest source: people burning their own garbage
Organic Chemistry – 15.2 – Polymers and the Petrochemical Industry
• Plastics do not decay or rot – problems?
• Today: recycling programs – manufacture of useful products from recycled plastics
Organic Chemistry – 15.2 – Polymers and the Petrochemical Industry
• Natural Polymers
• Carbohydrates: (monomer-glucose) cellulose, starch, glycogen
• Proteins: (monomer-amino acids)
