Mod 7.3 - Products of Reactions Involving Hydrocarbons Flashcards

1
Q

What type of reaction is a hydrogenation reaction?

A

It is an addition reaction. It refers when hydrogen molecules are used to saturate organic compounds (essentially breaking down triple and double bonds)

Q

What is the difference between cis and trans alkenes?

A

Cis alkenes - at the double bond site, the hydrogens attached to the two carbons are on the same side

Meanwhile, trans alkenes - at the double bond site, the hydrogens attached to the two carbons are on opposite sides

What occurs when an alkyne reacts with hydrogen gas (excess H2) and a metal catalyst)?

A

A cis-alkene is formed. Where there was a triple bond, it is replaced by a double bond which is cis.

A

Saturated - these are unreactive and only have single bonds

Q

For halogenation, what are the two halogens normally used? Why not the others?

A

Normally use Br2 and I2. We DONT use F2 and Cl2 because they are extremely reactive and can’t be controlled.

Q

What occurs when an alkyne reacts with excess halogens (either bromine or iodine)?

A

Forms a trans alkene with the halogens, and stops if there is NO excess halogens, but if there is excess halogens –> haloalkene

Q

What is Markovnikov’s rule?

18
Q

For what is Markovnikov’s rule applied?

A

Used for Hydrogen halide reactions with an alkyne

19
Q

What are the different reaction types for hydrogen halides?

A

Addition to an internal alkyne

Addition to a terminal Alkyne

20
Q

What occurs when an alkyne (internal) reacts with a hydrogen halide?

A

It will break the triple bond into a double bond, and then using Markovnikov’s rule, the hydrogen will attach to the carbon with the greatest number of hydrogens, and the halogen adds to the carbon with the fewest hydrogens. In some cases, this may produce 2 different products, especially as the halogen can fall on either carbon on the double bond (if both carbons have same number of hydrogens)

If it reacts with excess hydrogen halide, the reaction will continue to break apart the double bond into a single bond, forming an haloalkane, where the Markovnikov’s rule is applied again, and halogens attach to the carbon with the least hydrogens (typically the carbon which got the halogen in the previous step), and then the hydrogen adds to the carbon with the most carbons

21
Q

What occurs when an alkyne (terminal) reacts with a hydrogen halide?

A

When HX is added to a terminal alkyne, the X adds to the second carbon rather than the first, because the first carbon has more hydrogens attached to it already (according to Markovnikov’s rule)

22
Q

What are hydration reactions?

A

A hydration reaction is a chemical reaction in which a substance combines with water.

23
Q

What are the different hydration reactions (involving water (H2O))?

A

Reactions involving alkynes and water

Reactions involving alkenes and water

Oxidation of alkanols to aldehydes, carboxylic acids or ketones

Dehydration of alkanols to alkenes using heat and concentrated H2SO4

24
Q

What is required for a reaction involving alkynes and water?

A

It involves a dilute acid (typically represented by H+ above the arrow, as well as a heavy metal ion such as Hg+ (typically mercury ion))

25
Q

What occurs when an alkyne reacts with water?

A

When water undergoes addition with non-terminal alkynes, a ketone is formed (double bond O)

(In the presence of a dilute acid and a heavy metal ion such as Hg+)

26
Q

What is required for a reaction involving alkenes and water?

A

Requires dilute sulfuric acid (written above arrow)

27
Q

What occurs when an alkene reacts with water?

A

Alkene = water –> alcohol

The hydroxyl group can be on either side of the bond that was the double bond (thus typically having 2 different possible products)

(In the presence of dilute H2SO4)

28
Q

What is required for a reaction involving alkanols to aldehydes, carboxylic acids or ketones?

A

Requires Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and sulfuric acid (typically written above the arrow; KMnO4/H2SO4)

29
Q

What is the reaction invovling alkanols to aldehydes/carboxylic acids/ketones called?

A

It is called an oxidation reaction

30
Q

What are the different types of oxidation reactions that can occur depending on the property of the alkanol?

A

Primary Alkanols

Secondary Alkanols

Tertiary alkanols

31
Q

What are primary, secondary and tertiary alkanols?

A

A primary alcohol has the OH bonded to a carbon which is bonded to one carbon

A secondary alcohol has the OH bonded to a carbon which is bonded to two carbons

A tertiary alcohol has the OH bonded to a carbon which is bonded to three carbons

32
Q

What occurs when a primary alkanol reacts with KMnO4/H2SO4?

A

It forms an aldehyde, before forming a carboxylic acid group

33
Q

WHat occurs when a secondary alkanol reacts with KMnO4/H2SO4?

A

It forms a ketone where the OH was

34
Q

What occurs when a tertiary alkanol reacts with KMnO4/H2SO4?

A

It has no reaction

35
Q

What is dehydration reaction?

A

A dehydration reaction is a chemical reaction in which the reactant loses two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom, which then form a water

36
Q

What does a dehydration reaction require to continue?

A

Needs an alkanol to be heated with concentrated H2SO4 (typically indicated above the arrow)

37
Q

What are the two different types of dehydration reactions which may occur?

A

Primary alkanol dehydration

Secondary alkanol dehydration

Tertiary alkanol dehydration

38
Q

What occurs if a primary alkanol is exposed to conc H2SO4 and heat?

A

It will form a double bond at the end of the chain, and produce water (this water is lost) (terminal alkene)

i.e. Pentan-1-ol –> pent-1-ene + H2O

39
Q

What occurs if a secondary alkanol is exposed to conc H2SO4 and heat?

A

It will form a double bond

40
Q

What occurs if a tertiary alkanol is exposed to conc H2SO4 and heat?

A

It becomes a NON terminal alkene (even if originally the OH was on the second carbon)

41
Q

What is a substitution reaction?

A

A substitution reaction is a chemical reaction during which one functional group in a chemical compound is replaced by another functional group

42
Q

What is required for a halogen substitution reaction?

A

It requires u.v light

43
Q

What occurs when an alkane is reacting with a halogen (Cl or Br) and is exposed to u.v. light?

A

It substitutes a hydrogen from the alkane with the halogen and also forms a hydrogen halide.

For example;

pentane + Br2 –> 1-bromopentane + HBr

NOTE: IF THE HALOGEN IS CONSTANTLY PROVIDED, IT WOULD CONSTANTLY ADD ON THE MOLECULE, UNTIL IT IS FILLED WITH THE HALOGEN
