Question	Answer
Oxidizes sulfur, turns dithiol into disulfide (SH-SH --> SS)	O2, FeCl3
Acid base reaction, where an acidic sulfide compound substitutes a leaving group with an SH	KSH/Ethanol
acid base reaction with sulfur. Replaces leaving group with SR'. Inversion of stereochemistry	C6H5SNa/THF or diethyl ether
oxidative cleavage, C=O created and cleaved into 2 molecules	diol + HIO4
Swern oxidation of primary alcohols, turns alcohol into aldehyde	primary alcohol + 1) (CH3)2S=O, (COCl2), CH2Cl2, heat 2) (CH3CH2)2N
Oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to either aldehyde, ketone, or carboxylic acid	chromic acid derivative/H2SO4,H2O or PDC/PCC/CH2Cl2
Esterification. Chlorine is replaced with OR- group	primary alcohol + nitrobenzyl chloride derivative/pyridine
Fischer esterification. Alcohol in carboxylic acid is replaced with alcohol reactant OR- group	alcohol + acetic acid (Carboxylic acid with one R group) / H+ ions, benzene, heat OR H2SO4, heat
Alcohol is converted to ether. R group is doubled, oxygen in center	2 alcohols + H+, heat
Reduction methods. Reduce carboxylic acids, keynotes or aldehydes to alcohols	NaBH4 + methanol OR LiAlH4, diethyl ether, H2O OR H2, Ni, heat OR OsO4
Ring opening. MgBR is replaced by RO- group, with nucleophilic R attaching to carbon chain first	Grignard reagents + ethylene oxide (triangular oxygen) + diethyl ether and H3O+
