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






2. Diols with hydroxyl group on adjacent carbon






3. Hydrocarbon with one or more carbon carbon triple bond






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






5. Alkene oxidized with this - strong oxidizing agent. CH3CO3H or mcpba and it makes epoxide or oxirane






6. Solvents with protons in solution - e.g. water or alcohol. large atoms tend to be better nucleophiles in here because they can shed the solvating protons around them and are more polarizable






7. What are the best leaving groups?






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






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






10. Water can be added to alkenes under acidic conditions. make carbocation. ends with alcohol






11. Goal is to produce most stable carbocation

12. Non mirror image of configurational isomers. cis and trans alkenes are them. possible when a molecule has two or more stereogenic centers that differ at some but not alll of the centers. they require multiple chiral centers.






13. Two hydroxyl groups






14. Name for ethanal






15. No double bonds. it has the maximum number of hydrogens.






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






17. Formed by mixing different types of orbitals






18. Nonterminal alkenes are cleaved to form two molar equivalent of carvoxylic acid ..make keton






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






20. Highest energy no separation. or 120 separation.






21. O3






22. N - l - ml - ms






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






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






25. F - CL - Br - I






26. Differ in position of substitutents attached to a double bond or cycloalkane. Cis or trans or e or z






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






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






29. Transfer of electrions from one atome to another






30. Reducing an alkene by adding molecular hydrogen to double bond with aid of metal catalyst. e.g. pt - pd - ni. takes place on surface of metal so it does syn addition






31. 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-






32. Lowest priority group projects into the page






33. In which one or morehydrogen atoms are replaced with a halogen atom. via free radical substitution






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






35. Is bonded to only one other carbon atom






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






37. Compounds with halogen






38. Most favorable of staggared conformations






39. When boat flips






40. Alphabetical order of alkane rxn






41. If reagent has a bunch of oxygen






42. Sharing of electron between atoms






43. Name for mathanal






44. Name for propanal






45. Object that is not superimposable upon mirror image






46. One s and three p orbitals






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






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






49. Diol with hydroxyl group on same carbon






50. Common name for ethyne
