MCAT Organic Chemistry

Subjects : mcat, science
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Configuration in relation to another chiral molecule. use it to determine if a molecule is an enantiomer - diastereomer - etc






2. Nucleus lover. electron rich species that are attracked to charged atoms






3. If a compound is able to rotate plane polarized light.






4. A radical transfers a hydrogen atom to another radical and makes an alkane and alkene






5. A molecule with an internal plane of symmetry






6. Always receive number one. contain carbonyl and OH group - very oxidized. highest priority functional group.






7. In presence of peroxide - oxygen or ultraviolet light. antimarkonikov because they want a stable free radical. therefore X ends up on least subsituted carbon






8. Chain of carbons connected by single bonds with hydrogen atoms attached.






9. Creation of long - high molecular weight polymer composed of repeating subunit called monomers. occur through a radical mechanism.






10. What are the best leaving groups?






11. Nonsuperimposable mirror image of chiral objects - a specific steroisomer.






12. Alkenes oxidzed with kmno4 - if made with cold - dilue - make OH on each side of double bond - diols or glycol in syn orientation






13. N - l - ml - ms






14. Monosubstituted ethylene






15. Carbon double bonded to an oxygen






16. E of double bond act as lewis base and react with hydrogen of hx. make carbocation intermediate. use markonikovs rule






17. Object that is not superimposable upon mirror image






18. Propylenes attached to a backbone at the C-3 position. Meaning the double bond at end of the chain and single bonded carbon at rest






19. How many stereoisomers can a molecule have with n chiral centers






20. Nitrogen containing compound - longest chain attached to nitrogen used in backbone. use e and replace with AMINE. if more complex molecule present - use prefix amino. IF additional group added - use N-






21. Charged - need electrons






22. Diol with hydroxyl group on same carbon






23. Not solvated






24. Fast process. double bond is nucleophile and attack x2. make cyclic halonium ion with either br or cl. and make dihalo trans






25. Di - tri - t - sec - n -






26. O3






27. When boat flips






28. Sharing of electron between atoms






29. Describes the exact spatial arrangement of groups of atoms independent of other molecules.






30. Palladium or barium sulfate (BaSO4) with quinoline. occur on metal surface - make cis.

31. Formed by mixing different types of orbitals






32. When a molecular orbital is formed head to head or tail to tail. all single bonds are tehese.






33. Hydrocarbon with one or more carbon carbon triple bond






34. Carbon carbon triple bonds. Suffix-yne.






35. Lowest priority group projects into the page






36. Refers to the =CH2 group






37. Functionality is specified by alkoxy- prefix. ROR






38. When two p orbitals line up in parallel and electron clouds overlap. it exsits over a single bond.






39. When bond angles deviate from ideal values






40. M - chloroperoxybenzoic acid






41. Ozonolysis under hot acidic kmO4 - e.g. H2O2 condition






42. Transfer of electrions from one atome to another






43. If reagent has a bunch of oxygen






44. Cleaves double bond in half - it only oxidizes the carbon to an aldehyde under reducing conditions. if ozidizing make same product as KMNO4






45. Two hydroxyl groups






46. What is produced when o3 with lialh4 or nabh4






47. Iso - neo - cyclo






48. One s and two p 120 degree apart






49. Name for mathanal






50. Name for propanal
