Unit 3: Section 3 - Alkenes and alcohols (IMAGES) MDY Flashcards
1
Q
what is the mechanism for electrophillic addition between ethene and Br2?
A
2
Q
what is the mechanism for the electrophilic reaction between an alkene and a hydrogen halide?
A
3
Q
what is the mechanism for the electrophilic addition of ethene and sulfuric acid?
A
conditions: concentrated H2SO4, cold (typically room temp)
produces: alkyl hydrogen sulfate
adding water would form an alcohol
4
Q
what is the mechanism for the hydration of alkenes?
A
conditions: hot concentrated acid (H3SO4 or H3PO4 catalyst) at 180*C
the H+ is a spectator ion - it acts as a catalyst
