Alkene Reactions Flashcards
All Reactions and Mechanisms of Alkenes
Dehydrohalogenation Reaction
Lose HX from alkyl halide
Need Strong Base

Dehydration
Loss of water from and alcohol
Strong acid solvent like THF

Electrophilic Addition Reaction
Add HX to an alkene
Strong acid solvent

Halogenation Mechanism

Halohydrin
Adds Hydroxide and a Halide
Solvent is water
Reactant side: Alkene + X2
Product Side: Alkane with -OH and X + HX

Hydration
Adds -OH to alkene
Alcohol and Hydronium ion formed

Hydroboronation
Makes NON- Markovnikovnian product
Has syn stereochemistry
Hydrogenation
Adds H2 to alkene to make alkane
Reactants: Alkene + H2
Solvent: Pd/C or PtO2
Product: Alkane
