Markovinkovs rule:
Rich gets richer. Two products formed with unsymmetrically substituted alkene.
Alkene to alcohol
H+ followed by H2O
Alkene to alkane with C-OR
H+/ROH
Alcohol to Alkene
Conc. H2SO4
Haloalkane to alkene
KOH in ethanol
Alkenes are usually prepared via ___ reactions.
Elimination.
Acid catalysed dehydration (removal of H2O)
Reagent: conc. H2SO4
Base promoted dehydrohalogenation (Removal of HX)
Reagent: KOH or NaOH in ethanol
Symmetrical alkenes:
Only one product
Double bond of an alkene acts as:
A nucleophile
Hydrogrenation: (+H2)
Also called a reduction
In halogenation, the halogen acts as an _____.
Electrophile. Then the halide ION reacts as the nucleophile. Trans product is always formed.
The more stable carbocation will be
____
more produced.
