Organic Chemistry 7th Edition - Solutions by Chapter

A reaction in which bonds are broken in the presence of an acid. For example, in the presence of a strong acid, an ether is converted into two alkyl halides.

The enthalpy change, ?H, required to break a particular bond when the substance is in the gas phase. (Section 8.8)

An atom or group of atoms bearing a positive charge.

The species formed when a base accepts a proton from an acid

Compounds containing the CN2 ion. (22.3)

In bond-line structures, agroup going behind the page.

Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another.

The process of separating compounds on the basis of their electric charge

The point in a titration at which the added solute reacts completely with the solute present in the solution. (Section 4.6)

A twodimensional representation of a molecule; in these projections, groups on the right and left are by convention in front, while those at the top and bottom are to the rear.

The constant of proportionality in the ideal-gas equation. (Section 10.4)

A measure of the number of degrees of unsaturation in a compound.

Molecules with low molecular weights, which can be joined together (polymerized) to form a polymer. (Section 12.8)

A reagent used for allylic bromination to avoid a competing reaction in which bromine adds across the p bond.

The special name given to the amide bond formed between the a-amino group of one amino acid and the a-carboxyl group of another amino acid

A solvent that lacks hydrogen atoms connected directly to an electronegative atom.

The energy that can be released if given an opportunity

The sloweststep in a multistep reaction which determines the rate of the reaction.

A process by which one or more compounds are removed from a mixture of organic compounds, based on a difference in solubility and/or acid-base properties.

A ribonucleic acid that carries a specifi c amino acid to the site of protein synthesis on ribosomes
