Organic chemistry ii acs - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

This is the ACS Final Practice Quiz for Organic Chemistry II. All of these questions were EXTREMELY similar to those on the actual exam.

A hydrogen atom on an sp3 carbon atom that is alpha to a carbonyl group is - ANS30 orders of magnitude more acidic than normal, due to resonance. Aldehydes and ketones that are alpha,beta-unsaturated may go through - ANS1,2-addition or 1,4-addition with nucleophiles. *Kinetic product = 1,2-nucleophilic addition, forms faster, dominates if reaction stops before equilibrium is reached *Thermodynamic product = 1,4-nucleophilic addition, forms slower, dominates if reaction continues to reach eq...
