Study Notes
Hydrocarbons - Addition Reactions
- Bromine test: Reddish-orange bromine solution in carbon tetrachloride loses its color when added to an unsaturated site. This reaction indicates unsaturation.
- Halogens adding to alkenes: An example of electrophilic addition, these reactions involve cyclic halonium ion formation.
- Hydrogen halides (HCl, HBr, HI) adding to alkenes: Forms alkyl halides. Reactivity order: HI > HBr > HCl. Similar to halogen additions, it's an electrophilic addition reaction.
Addition of Hydrogen Halides
- Symmetrical alkenes: HBr adds via electrophilic addition, with the hydrogen attaching to the carbon with more hydrogens.
- Unsymmetrical alkenes (Markovnikov's rule): The negative part of the added molecule (HBr, HI, HCl) attaches to the carbon with fewer hydrogens in the absence of peroxides. This generally gives the more stable carbocation intermediate.
Peroxide Effect (Anti-Markovnikov Addition)
- Unsymmetrical alkenes with peroxides: Addition of HBr to unsymmetrical alkenes in the presence of peroxides results in the opposite pattern of Markovnikov's rule. The hydrogen attaches to the carbon with more hydrogen atoms. This proceeds via a free radical chain mechanism. The stability of the free radical intermediate is key.
Sulphuric Acid Addition
- Sulphuric acid and alkenes: Cold, concentrated sulphuric acid adds to alkenes according to Markovnikov's rule, making alkyl hydrogen sulphates. This is also an electrophilic addition.
Oxidation of Alkenes
- Potassium permanganate (Baeyer's reagent): Cold, dilute aqueous potassium permanganate solution oxidizes alkenes to vicinal glycols. This reaction test for unsaturation.
Ozonolysis of Alkenes
- Ozone addition: Ozone adds to alkenes forming ozonide, which cleaves with Zn/H2O to smaller molecules. Used to pinpoint the location of double bonds.
Polymerization
- Polythene and Polypropene: High temperatures and pressure, along with catalysts, cause alkenes (like ethene and propene) to combine into long chains (polymers).
- Monomers: The starting molecules in polymerization are monomers.
Alkynes
- Unsaturated Hydrocarbons: Also contain double bonds; their general formula is CnH2n-2.
- Alkynes IUPAC nomenclature and isomers Alkynes are named as derivatives of the corresponding alkanes. Position Isomers have the same molecular formula but differ in the position of the triple bond.
