Here’s a compact list of the most important basic organic chemistry reactions (just the reactions, no explanations): Combustion: C x H y + O 2 → C O 2 + H 2 O \text{C}_x\text{H}_y + O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + H_2O Halogenation of Alkanes (Free Radical Substitution): CH 4 + C l 2 → h v CH 3 C l + H C l \text{CH}_4 + Cl_2 \xrightarrow{hv} \text{CH}_3Cl + HCl Hydrogenation of Alkenes: CH 2 = C H 2 + H 2 → N i / P t C H 3 C H 3 \text{CH}_2=CH_2 + H_2 \xrightarrow{Ni/Pt} CH_3CH_3 Halogenation of Alkenes (Electrophilic Addition): CH 2 = C H 2 + B r 2 → B r C H 2 C H 2 B r \text{CH}_2=CH_2 + Br_2 \rightarrow BrCH_2CH_2Br Hydration of Alkenes: CH 2 = C H 2 + H 2 O → H + C H 3 C H 2 O H \text{CH}_2=CH_2 + H_2O \xrightarrow{H^+} CH_3CH_2OH Ozonolysis of Alkenes: RCH=CHR’ + O 3 → R C H O + R ′ C H O \text{RCH=CHR'} + O_3 \rightarrow RCHO + R'CHO Dehydration of Alcohols: CH 3 C H 2 O H → H 2 S O 4 , Δ C H 2 = C H 2 + H 2...
