Exam points

  • Classify a displayed transformation from bonds broken, formed or changed.
  • Distinguish addition, elimination, substitution, hydrolysis, oxidation and reduction.
  • Identify separate reaction classes at two labelled positions in a product structure.

10.1—Classify reactions (including those in Unit 1) as addition, elimination, substitution, oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis or question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

Propan-1-ol may be converted into propene.

CH3CH2CH2OH→CH3CH=CH2+H2O\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}

The reaction is best classified as

A

elimination

B

hydrolysis

C

reduction

D

substitution
