INTRODUCTION
This Powerpoint show is one of several produced to help students understand selected topics at AS and A2 level Chemistry. It is based on the requirements of the AQA and OCR specifications but is suitable for other examination boards.
Individual students may use the material at home for revision purposes or it may be used for classroom teaching with an interactive white board.
Accompanying notes on this, and the full range of AS and A2 topics, are available from the KNOCKHARDY SCIENCE WEBSITE at...

Nucleophile cyanide ion CN¯
Product(s) hydroxynitrile (cyanohydrin)

2-hydroxypropanenitrile
Notes HCN is a weak acid and has difficulty dissociating into ions
HCN H+ + CN¯
Using ionic KCN produces more of the nucleophilic CN¯
Alternative reagent: HCN catalysed by alkali which shifts the above equilibrium in favour of CN¯

FRIEDEL-CRAFTS REACTIONS OF BENZENE - FRIEDEL-CRAFTS REACTIONS OF BENZENE - ALKYLATIONALKYLATION
Overview Alkylation involves substituting an alkyl (methyl, ethyl) group
Reagents a halogenoalkane (RX) and anhydrous aluminium chloride AlCl3
Conditions room temperature; dry inert solvent (ether)
Electrophile a carbocation ion R+ (e.g. CH3+)
Equation C6H6 + C2H5Cl ———> C6H5C2H5 + HCl
Mechanism
General A catalyst is used to increase the positive nature of the electrophile
and make it better at attacking benzene rings.AlCl3 acts as a Lewis Acid and helps break the C—Cl bond.

CH3CHO + HCN ——> CH3CH(OH)CNethanal 2-hydroxypropanenitrile
Problem - the C=O bond is planar
- the nucleophile can attack from above and below
- there is an equal chance of each possibility
- a mixture of optically active isomers is produced- only occurs if different groups are attached to the C=O
