Question | Answer |
Define Hydrogenation | addition of H2 to a multiple bond |
Hydrogenation | alkene to alkane |
Notes on Hydrogenation | syn addition |
H2/Pd, Pt, or Ni | Hydrogenation |
How does heat affect stability? | less heat = more stable more heat = less stable |
Syn Addition | two atoms or groups add to the same face of a double bond |
Anti Addition | atoms or groups add to opposite faces of the double bond |
Stereoselectivity | a reaction in which a single starting material can give two or more stereoisomeric products but yields one of them in greater amounts than the other |
slowest to fastest rate of addition | HF<<HCL<HBR<HI |
weakest acid to strongest acid HI, HF, HCL, HBR | HF<<HCL<HBR<HI |
Markovnikov's Rule | when an unsymmetrically substituted alkene reacts with a hydrogen halide, the hydrogen adds to the carbon that has the greater number o fhydrogesn, and the halogen adds to the carbon having fewer hydrogens |
Name the mechanism and any rule that applies: CH3CH2CH=CH2 + HBR <acetic acid> CH3CH2CH(BR)CH3 | Hydrohalogenation and markovnikov's rule |
Define Hydrohalogenation | is the electrophilic addition of hydrohalic acids like hydrogen chloride or hydrogen bromide to alkenes to yield the corresponding haloalkanes |
