In SN2 reaction, inversion of configuration takes place,

while in SN1 reaction, racemization takes place.

Enantiomers differ with respect to the rotation of plane
polarized light and are thus classified as- dextrorotatory
and laevorotatory.
Chemical name of DDT is p,p- dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (p stands for para)
Most of the worlds production of phenol takes place by
cumene, C6H5CH (CH3)3.
Oxidation of phenol with chromic acid (Na2Cr2O7) gives
benzoquinone.
Williamson synthesis is the lab method to prepare
symmetrical and unsymmetrical ethers. It follows SN2
mechanism.
DIBAL-H (diisobutylaluminium hydride) is a reducing
agent used to reduce nitriles into aldehydes.
Fehlings test is used to distinguish between aliphatic
and aromatic aldehydes, because aromatic aldehydes do
not respond to this test.
Fehling solution A is aqueous CuSO4, while Fehling
solution B is sodium potassium tartrate (Rochelle salt).
Aldol condensation reaction is shown by those
aldehydes and ketones which have at least one
- hydrogen atom.
Carboxylic acids undergo heating with mineral acids like
H2SO4 or P2O5 to give corresponding anhydrides.
Order of reactivity of alcohols with a given halogen acid
(HX) is, 3 alcohol > 2 alcohol > 1 alcohol.
