(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of the product obtained by the reaction between propene and hydrogen gas in the presence of metal catalyst should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The addition on the alkene is the electrophilic addition reaction. In this reaction, electrophile reacts with carbon-carbon double of the alkene which results in the formation of
The hydrogenation of
A nucleophile is the Lewis base that donates an electron pair to form a covalent bond with the electrophile.
An electrophile is the Lewis acid that accepts the electron to form a bond with the nucleophile.
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of the product obtained upon heating
Concept introduction:
The preparation of alkene is the type of elimination reaction.
The
The
A nucleophile is the Lewis base that donates an electron pair to form a covalent bond with the electrophile. An electrophile is the Lewis acid that accepts the electron to form a bond with the nucleophile.
The good leaving groups are the weak base. They can be an anion or neutral molecule.
