Alkene Reactions and Syntheses

Missing Organic Reagents

You may use these summaries and problems but you may NOT download them for use at another site, nor may you charge for access to them: they are the property of the authors and Towson University.

These problems are organized by chapter number, with the lowest chapter number first (the references will give you a hint as to whether you have learned about a reaction yet, and provide you a source of information if you don't understand). You cannot put the answer into the computer yourself, so keep paper and pencil handy. After you have proposed a compound, click with the left mouse button on the simulated button that says "Answer" to see if you are right or not. In most cases only the alcohol and reagent are shown and you must select a non-alcohol starting material or product. In the computer solutions to the problems, only the largest organic product is shown.

For a review without problems go to graphical summaries of reactions of alcohols or syntheses of alcohols. These graphical summaries are organized by reacting site or mechanism, again with references. Return to Graphical Reaction Summary menu to select a different functional group.
