Could someone please give me a list of what catalysts to use in each reaction? I'm getting really confused what catalysts are meant to be used where
eg. H2SO4 is used during esterification
Greatly appreciated
• UV-light is required in converting alkanes to chloroalkanes.
• Converting alkenes to alcohols requires phosphoric acid + 300
oC heat.
• Oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids requires acidified dichromate, or acidified permanganate.
• Esterification requires concentrated sulfuric acid.
• Chloroalkane --> Alcohol requires NaOH or KOH but that's a reagent!
• Ammonia is needed to produce an amine from a chloroalkane.
• Alkene to alkane (hydrogenation) requires a nickel catalyst + 200
oC temperature.
