transition metals
This name refers to the atoms, ions, or molecules attached to a metal
What are ligands?
The carbon of a carbonyl is best characterized by this trait
What is electrophilic?
Polymers are made up of these
What are monomers?
Hydration adds this across a double bond
What is water
This is the term that refers to the number of ligands attached to a central metal atom
What is the coordination number?
This is the name of the product made when you deprotonate the carbon next to a carbonyl
What is an enolate?
This is the first step of radical polymerization
What is initiation?
These types of molecules are characterized by their ability to donate a proton
What is a Bronsted-Lowery Acid?
This is a reaction that will always decrease the oxidation number of the central metal by 2
What is reductive elimination?
This reaction occurred between two molecules with carbonyls and formed a carbon to carbon bond
What is a crossed aldol reaction?
This is the origin of branching
What are side reactions?
What reaction occurs when the reactants present are HBr and a peroxide
Radical Bromination
This is the inverse of Beta-Hydride Elimination
What is 1-2 insertion?
This is the name of the reaction that created a C-C double bond using phosphorous
What is the Wittig Reaction?
This is the reason peroxides are useful starting materials in radical polymerization
Oxygen - Oxygen single bonds are very weak/ easy to radicalize
What are electron withdrawing groups?
This is the formal name of the catalytic cycle in Olefin Metathesis
What is the Chauvin mechanism?
LDA is used to form this (be specific)
Enolates on the less substituted alpha carbon
What is Living Polymerization?
This is the reason AlCL3 is a good catalyst for EAS
What is AlCl3 has empty p-orbitals?
