(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.

- Several diamines are building blocks for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agro-chemicals. Show how both 1,3-propanediamine and 1,4-butanediamine can be prepared from acrylonitrile.arrow_forwardLipoic acid is required by many microorganisms for proper growth. As a disulfide, it functions in the living system by catalyzing certain oxidation reactions and is reduced in the process. Write the structure of the reduction product.arrow_forwardDraw the structures of the chief product formed when the following alcohols are dehydrated to alkenes: ОН CH, a. CH, ОН b. CH,ССH,CHСH, CH3arrow_forward
- Lactones, cyclic esters such as compound A, are prepared by halolactonization, an addition reaction to an alkene. For example, iodolactonization of B forms lactone C, a key intermediate in the synthesis of prostaglandin PGF2α (Section 4.15). Draw a stepwise mechanism for this addition reaction.arrow_forwardPrimary alcohols can react with certain alkenes to give ethers. If a primary alcohol reacts with dihydropyran in the presence of acid only Product A is formed. Why is A formed over B? And what is the product of the reaction if N-propyl alcohol is the alcohol? H+ + FOR H OR A + B OR Harrow_forwardAlkenes can be converted to alcohols by reaction with mercuric acetate to form a β-hydroxyalkylmercury(II) acetate compound, a reaction called oxymercuration. Subsequent reduction with NaBH4 reduces the C–Hg bond to a C–H bond, forming the alkyl alcohol, a reaction called demercuration. Draw the structures of the Hg-containing compound(s) and the final alcohol product(s) formed in the following reaction sequence, omitting byproducts. If applicable, draw hydrogen at a chirality center and indicate stereochemistry via wedge-and-dash bonds.arrow_forward
- Write the equations for the preparation of alcohols by reacting a) propene with sulfuric acid and water b) chlorocyclohexane and sodium hydroxide Write the equations for the reaction of phenoxybenzene with hot concentrated HCIarrow_forwardConsider the structure of cyclohexene, if it undergoes epoxidation followed by exposure to water, which of the following final product is formed? a. Cyclohexan-1,2,-diol b. Cyclohexane c. Cyclohexanone d. Hexan-1,-6-dioic acidarrow_forwardGive at least 3 features in the structure of an alkene.arrow_forward
- 3 A compound A with a molecular formula CH3O is oxidised with acidified potassium dichromate(VI) to form a liquid B. B reacts with hydrogen cyanide to form a compound C that contains four carbon atoms. Draw the structures of compounds A, B and C. 4 An alkene D with a molecular formula C3H, can be converted into an alcohol E. This alcohol is oxidised to form a compound F, which does not give a silver mirror with Tollens' reagent. Draw the structures of compounds D, E and F.arrow_forwardLactones, cyclic esters such as compound A, are prepared byhalolactonization, an addition reaction to an alkene. For example,iodolactonization of B forms lactone C, a key intermediate in thesynthesis of prostaglandin PGF2α. Draw a stepwise mechanism for this addition reaction.arrow_forwardExplain why the following compounds are not optically active: a. the product obtained from the reaction of 1,3-butadiene with cis-1,2-dichloroethene b. the product obtained from the reaction of 1,3-butadiene with trans-1,2-dichloroethenearrow_forward
