Greetings, iam James Morales, Enjoy the rest of your day.
What Are The 10 Most Important Chemical Reactions? [Solved]
Wow, that’s a lot of reactions to remember for class 12 chemistry! The Sandmeyer reaction is when you use diazonium salts to replace halides in aromatic compounds. The Gattermann reaction is when you use hydrogen cyanide and formaldehyde to make aldehydes. The Balz-Schiemann reaction is when you use nitrobenzene and sodium hydroxide to make aniline. The Finkelstein reaction is when you use alkyl halides and potassium iodide in acetone to make alkyl iodides. Swarts’ reaction is when you use alkyl halides and silver salts in ethanol to make alkanes. Wurtz’s reaction is when you combine two alkyl halides with sodium metal in ether, forming alkanes. Wurtz-Fittig’s reaction combines two alkyl halides with an organolithium compound, forming alkanes too. Fittig’s reaction uses an organolithium compound with an aryl or vinyl halide, making an alkane as well! Phew - that was a lot of info!
