Random Alkyl Halide Reactions
|
If you believe a reaction will take place, draw the structural formula for the chief
organic product using the drawing window on the right.
If no reaction is expected, draw the starting reactant structure.

In a few cases more than one organic product is formed. Write the formula for the major
product from the reactant (on the left in the equation), ignoring byproducts from the
reagents. In a few cases stereochemical configuration must be designated. Both chiral
and achiral stereoisomers may be drawn, and (E/Z) isomers of appropriately substituted
double bonds are recognized. Isomerism due to chiral centers is specified by the
wedge/hatched bond tool. Repeated clicking on a bond alternates its orientation.
Two of the bonds to a chiral center must lie in the plane of the drawing and must
connect heavy atoms (not hydrogen). The remaining bond(s) should then be drawn as wedge
and hatched lines (do not draw bonds to hydrogen. |
