Catalytic Hydrogenation
Stereochemistry: Syn
Regiochemistry: none
Reactants: Alkene
Reagents: H2 and Pd/C
Product: Alkane
Steps: 1
Ozonolysis
Reactant: Alkene
Reagents:
- O3, -78ºC
- Zn AcOH or (CH3)2S
Products: Ketone or Aldehyde (If the opposing end has one hydrogen it will form an aldehyde and if it has no hydrogens it will form a ketone)
Formation of an Epoxide
Reactant: Alkene
Reagents:
- X2, like Cl2 in H2O
- NaH
Product: Epoxide
Can only do if the halogen and alcohol are on neighboring carbons
