Cis
If an alkene reacts with Br2 what type of haloalkane is formed?
Trans
What happens when an alkene is reacted with both Br2 and H2O?
An alcohol with a bromine substituent is formed
What is formed when KOH in alcohol is added to a haloalkane?
An alkene
What is Markovnikov’s rule and when does it apply?
The rich get richer
Addition reactions
How is an ether formed from an alkene?
H+/ROH
Why is a primary alcohol not the major product of a regular addition reaction?
Secondary carbocations are more stable
What is ozonolysis?
The splitting of a pi bond via O3 and Zn/H3O+ to form two ketones or maybe aldehydes depending on the alkene
How is an alkyne prepared?
Using KOH or NaOH on a dihaloalkane
