Chapter 5.6, Problem 11P

The same alkane is obtained from the catalytic hydrogenation of both alkene A and alkene B. The heat of hydrogenation of alkene A is 29.8 kcal/mol, and the heat of hydrogenation of alkene B is 31.4 kcal/mol. Which alkene is more stable?

The heat of hydrogenation of cis-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-hexene is -154 kJ (-36.7 kcal)/ mol, while that of the trans isomer is only -113 kJ (-26.9 kcal)/mol. Q.) Why is the heat of hydrogenation of the cis isomer so much larger (more negative) than that of the trans isomer?
What two stereoisomeric alkanes are formed from the catalytic hydrogenation of (z)-3-methyl-2-hexene? Draw and label the alkanes. What are the relative amounts of each alkane?
Draw the product or products that will be obtained from the reaction of cis-2-butene and trans-2-butene with each of the following reagents. If a product can exist as stereoisomers, show which stereoisomers are formed. 1. HCl.                        4.Br2 in CH2Cl2               7. H2O + H2SO4 2. BH3/THF, followed by HO-, H2O2, H2O   5.
