Define Hydrogenation
addition of H2 to a multiple bond
Hydrogenation
alkene to alkane
Notes on Hydrogenation
syn addition
H2/Pd, Pt, or Ni
Hydrogenation
How does heat affect stability?
less heat = more stable more heat = less stable
Syn Addition
two atoms or groups add to the same face of a double bond
Anti Addition
atoms or groups add to opposite faces of the double bond
Stereoselectivity
a reaction in which a single starting material can give two or more stereoisomeric products but yields one of them in greater amounts than the other
slowest to fastest rate of addition
HF«HI
weakest acid to strongest acid HI, HF, HCL, HBR
HF«HI
Markovnikov’s Rule
when an unsymmetrically substituted alkene reacts with a hydrogen halide, the hydrogen adds to the carbon that has the greater number o fhydrogesn, and the halogen adds to the carbon having fewer hydrogens
Name the mechanism and any rule that applies: CH3CH2CH=CH2 + HBR CH3CH2CH(BR)CH3
Hydrohalogenation and markovnikov’s rule
Define Hydrohalogenation
is the electrophilic addition of hydrohalic acids like hydrogen chloride or hydrogen bromide to alkenes to yield the corresponding haloalkanes
Hydrohalogenation
Alkene to alkyl halide Alkyne to Alkenyl Halide Alkyne to Geminal dihalide
Notes on Hydrohalogenation
Markovnikov’s Rule
Hydrogen Halide ex: HBR, HCL
Hydrohalogenation
Define Dehydration
loss of water
Dehydration
alcohol to alkene
What kind of mechanism does Dehydration take place
E1-carbocation E2-no carbocation
H2SO4 or H3PO4
Dehydration
Elimination 1
alcohol to alkene carbocation present H2SO4 or H3PO4 TERTIARY weak NU, weak base (NH3/CH3NH2/C5H5N or pyridine), heat SECONDARY heat, weak base, weak NU, good LG, steric hindrance
Elimination 2
alcohol to alkene no carbocation H2SO4 or H3PO4 PRIMARY strong bulky base sterically hindered SECONDARY strong base sterically hindered secondary LG
SN2
nucleophillic substitution chirality present=stereochem achiral present=no stereochem PRIMARY aprotic solvent,good NU,strong/weak base, unhindered SECONDARY aprotic solvent, good NU, unhindered, inversion, backside attack), no carbocation
SN1
carbocation forms enantiomers TERTIARY protic solvent, good NU, forms enantiomers SECONDARY protic solvent, good NU,
