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. Kmno4






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

3. Carbon double bonded to an oxygen






4. Configuration in relation to another chiral molecule. use it to determine if a molecule is an enantiomer - diastereomer - etc






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






6. N - l - ml - ms






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






8. Highest energy no separation. or 120 separation.






9. Name for ethanal






10. One s and two p 120 degree apart






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






12. One s and three p orbitals






13. Name for propanal






14. Goal is to produce most stable carbocation

15. Formed by mixing different types of orbitals






16. Diol with hydroxyl group on same carbon






17. Two p orbital form pi and third p orbital combine with s to make two sp hybrid. 180 degree apart






18. Hydrocarbon with one or more carbon carbon triple bond






19. Results when nonadjacent atoms or groups compete for space. dominant source of energy in flagpole interactions of the boat conformation. thus it goes in various conformations like chair boat and twist.






20. Object that is not superimposable upon mirror image






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






22. Zn/h or CH3/s with ozonolysis






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






24. Is bonded to only one other carbon atom






25. Arise from angle strain - torsional strian and nonbonded strain






26. Occur when a molecule is broken down by heat. used to reduce the avverage molecular weight of heavy oils. c - c - bonds are cleave dand make small chain alkyl radicals that recombine to form different alkanes






27. Use the Greek root for the number of carbons followed by the ending - - ane






28. When boat flips






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






30. What is produced when o3 with lialh4 or nabh4






31. Rotations cancel each other out therefore no optical activity






32. Share molecular formula but have different chemical and physical properties






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






34. Three different substitutents often have plane of symmetry. and rotation of 180 will allow molecule to be superimposed on mirror image






35. Not solvated






36. 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






37. Alphabetical order of alkane rxn






38. 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-






39. Carbon with four different substituents and lack a plane of symmetry






40. Carbonyl located in middle or somewhere in chane. Named with One






41. Electrons of pi bond are reactive and easily attacked by molecules that want e pair e.g. electrophiles.






42. Diborane add to double bond. boron acts as lewis acid and attaches to less hindered carbon. hydride transferred to adjacent carbon. antimarkonikov - alcohol produced






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






44. Diols with hydroxyl group on adjacent carbon






45. Name for mathanal






46. If reagent has a bunch of oxygen






47. Reaction of alkane with oxygen to form carbon dioxide - water and heat.






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






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






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