Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
When sulfuric acid reacts with ethylene, the product formed has to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Addition reaction:
b)
Interpretation:
When sulfuric acid reacts with propene, the product formed has to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Addition reaction: Alkene reacts with polar reagent across the double bond, addition of hydrogen (electrophile) to the least substituted carbon and nucleophile bonded to the most substituted carbon.
Markovnikov’s rule:
In the overall reaction, the hydrogen atom (electrophile) is bonded to least substituted carbon and nucleophile is bonded to the most substituted carbon. This is known as Markovnikov’s rule.

- Describe a sequence of reactions by which cis-2-pentene could be prepared from acetylene.arrow_forwardPropene and benzene react with bromine, Br2, in absence of UV light in different ways. The reaction of propene is an addition reaction whereas that of benzene is a substitution reaction. Give the best explanation of this difference.arrow_forwardIn this organic nomenclature, what does the (4E), "en" and "yl" mean?arrow_forward
- Draw and name the five cycloalkane structures of formula C5H10. Can any of these structures give rise to geometric (cis-trans) isomerism? If so, show the cis and trans stereoisomersarrow_forwardWrite the polymerization reaction in which acetylene (C2H2) produces polyacetylene. Show the structural formulae of the monomers and the polymer.arrow_forwardWrite the structural formula of 2-ethyl-1-butenearrow_forward
- Glucose, C6H12O6, contains an aldehyde group but exist predominantly in the form of the cyclic hemiacetal show below. A cyclic hemiacetal is formed when the —OH group of one carbon bonds to the carbonyl group of another carbon. Identify which carbon provides the —OH group and which provides the —CHO? Give a functional isomer of glucose and draw its structure.arrow_forwardAlcohols A, B, and C all have the composition C4H10O. Molecules of alcohol A contain a branched carbon chain and can be oxidized to an aldehyde; molecules of alcohol B contain a linear carbon chain and can be oxidizedto a ketone; and molecules of alcohol C can be oxidized to neither an aldehyde nor a ketone. Write the Lewis structures of these molecules.arrow_forwardPropene undergoes a hydration reaction with water in the presence of an acid. a. There are two possible products for this reaction, both with the formula C3H8O. Show their structural formulas and names. b. Which of the two products do you predict will form. Explainarrow_forward
