Reactions of Unsaturated Hydrocarbons Flashcards
What are the key reactions of alkenes
Hydrogenation
Halogenation
Hydration
Hydrohalogenation
is the addition of a molecule of hydrogen (H2) to
a carbon-carbon double bond to produce an alkane
Hydrogenation
Catalyst for hydrogenation
Platinum, palladium, nickel
T or F; Heat and pressure may be required in hydrogenation
True
Oils are hydrogenated to form what
Margarine
What is the product of hydrogenation
Alkane
the addition of a molecule of halogen (X2) to a carbon-carbon double bond to produce an alkane
Halogenation
T or F; Halogenation of alkenes require catalyst
False (they occur quite readily without a catalyst)
What is the reactant added with alkene in halogenation
Halogens (Fluorine, Chlorine,
Bromine, Iodine,
Astatine)
What are the common reactants used in halogenation of alkenes
Bromine and Chloride
What is the product of halogenation of alkenes
Alkyl dihalide (Alkane)
addition-reaction; a water molecule can be added to an alkene
Hydration
What are the catalysts for hydration of alkenes
Strong acids
Enumerate the strong acids needed in hydration of alkenes
Hydrochloric acid HCl,
Nitric acid HNO3,
Sulfuric acid H2SO4,
Hydrobromic acid HBr,
Hydroiodic acid HI,
Perchloric acid HClO4
Product formed in hydration of alkene
alcohol
empirical rule used to predict regioselectivity of electrophilic
addition reactions of alkenes and alkynes
Markovnikov’s Rule
What are hydrogen halides
Hydrogen bonded to a halogen
Addition-reaction; An alkene can be combined with a hydrogen halide such as HBr
or HCl
Hydrohalogenation
Product formed in hydrohalogenation of alkenes
Alkyl halide
