Concept introduction:
The compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen atoms are known as hydrocarbon compounds. These compounds originate from plants and animals. These are also known as organic compounds. There are two classes of hydrocarbon compounds which are Saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. Unsaturated hydrocarbon compound are of two types alkenes and alkynes. The alkene contains a double bond between two carbon atoms. The alkynes contains a triple bond between two carbon atoms and follow general formula

- When 2-pentene is treated with Cl2 in methanol, three products are formed. Account for the formation of each product (you need not explain their relative percentages).arrow_forwardGive the product for the addition of chlorine when HCl reacts with 3-Hexyne in acetic acid (CH3COOH). Show the correct stereochemistry, (is the product Z or E isomer).arrow_forward2. In the bromination reactions, what is the function of CCl4? Why can it fulfil its role?3. Bromination proceeds by either free radical substitution or electrophillic addition. Based on Table 3, which mechanism is followed by alkanes? by alkenes? by alkynes?4. For which hydrocarbon type is light necessary for bromination to take place?arrow_forward
- Alkenes can be hydrated to form alcohols by (1) hydroboration followed by oxidation with alkaline hydrogen peroxide and (2) acid-catalyzed hydration. Compare the product formed from each alkene by sequence (1) with those formed from (2). Q.)Cyclopentenearrow_forwardA chemist allows some pure (2S,3R)-3-bromo-2,3-diphenylpentane to react with a solution of sodium ethoxide(NaOCH2 CH3) in ethanol. The products are two alkenes: A (cis-trans mixture) and B, a single pure isomer. Under the same conditions, the reaction of (2S,3S)-3-bromo-2,3-diphenylpentane gives two alkenes, A (cis-trans mixture) and C. Upon catalytic hydrogenation, all three of these alkenes (A, B, and C) give 2,3-diphenylpentane. Determine the structures of A, B, and C; give equations for their formation; and explain the stereospecificity of these reactions.arrow_forwardThe reaction of DBU with 2-bromoheptane gives two alkene products, what are they? Which of these would you expect to be the major product? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- Define the E2 mechanism for the Preparation of Alkenes ?arrow_forwardName, draw and describe the organic product of the reaction between 2-methylbut-1-ene and H2O in the presence of H2SO4 and provide a clear rationale as to why this is the major product of the reaction and the minor product of the reaction.arrow_forwardFollowing is a balanced equation for bromination of toluene. (a) Using the values for bond dissociation enthalpies given in Appendix 3, calculate H0 for this reaction. (b) Propose a pair of chain propagation steps and show that they add up to the observed reaction. (c) Calculate H0 for each chain propagation step. (d) Which propagation step is rate-determining?arrow_forward
- 1-pentyne reacts with dicylohexylborane, followed by oxidation, to produce pentanal. The organoborane formed in step 1 is oxidized by H2O2 in the presence of OH– in the next step of the reaction. Which of the following options correctly describe this process? Choose one or more: A. –BR2 acts as a leaving group in this step. B. OH– must attack from the face of the alkene opposite the –BR2 group. C. OH replaces –BR2 in this step. D. OH replaces H in this step. E. Configuration at the carbon-bearing B is retained in the reaction.arrow_forward2. An unknown hydrocarbon A with the formula C 6H 12 reacts with 1 molar equivalent of H 2 over palladium catalyst. Hydrocarbon A also reacts with OsO 4 to give diol B. When oxidized with KMnO 4 in acidic solution, A gives two fragments. One fragment is propanoic acid, CH3CH 2CO 2H and the other fragment is a ketone.
