Alkene Definition and 28 Threads

The answer I am getting is A but the answer given is D. I don't know why D because this is what I did. First I opened the alkene and then added OH on the less substituted carbon( Markonikov addition) and we know that Cu, Heat turns 3° alcohol to alkene so then I got an alkene. Did I do something...

Homework Statement Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution C=C double bonds means that it is not an Alkane because an Alkane is saturated hydrocarbon. So the answer should be from A, B or C.

I am having some trouble understanding why different sources of bromine radicals supposedly brominate an alkene at different positions. What I mean by this: In the first example, the Bromine radical attacks a hydrogen at the allylic position and then a termination reaction results in a Bromine...

One of the first addition reactions we learn in a basic organic chemistry class is the hydration of an alkene, that is breaking a double bond by adding water (the H and the OH specifically) across the double bond. The only requirement is that the solution be acidic. I'm wondering if the...

Hey, so I did a lab on alkene Diastereomers ( I saw a similar thread but it wasn't really helpful... However I am guessing the same lab as me). We initially had Maleic acid and dissolved it in hot water and mixed it with hydrochloric acid ( carbocation?).The question isn't so clear ( to me...

Homework Statement when compund P ( CH2=CHCH2CH3) and Q ( CH3CH=CHCH3) is reacted with steam , compound T which is optically active formed. draw the structure of T . the ans is on the left. my ans is on the right. is my ans ( on the right) accepted , why and why not? Homework Equations...

Homework Statement for the bromination of alkene, different sources give different structure of product which is trans(from wikipedia) , but the book is cis. which is correct? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution please don't delete my question.. as i really don't know...

Homework Statement my question is at part 2 , since c form ch3ch2 is electron deficient, but after OH2 added in , with lone pair electron on O, the c should be no longer electron deficient anymore. am i right? why the + sign is moved to O now? Homework Equations The Attempt at a...

I know a Lindlar catalyst will cause syn addition of hydrogens to an alkyne and then stop at an alkene, but what about a molecule that has both an alkyne and an alkene in it to start. Is the alkene taken to an alkane or is it simply not affected? Thanks for your answers.

1. I made up this problem myself in order to practice. I stumped myself. I'm such a genius, I'm aware It's basically alkene nomenclature with the E,Z naming scheme.2. Picture See below. I've taken the liberty of already numbering the longest chain.The Attempt at a Solution Without the double...

in an ester is the ester link/bond the -COO-? meaning does it include the C=O in the ester linkage. i would think so as something else would mean the functional group is different. However, i am not entirely sure as my textbook just brakets the C-O as the ester bond. Also, can alkenes such...

What would be the product if I carried out a bromination of an alkene using isopropanol as the solvent?

I am asked for the "actual products" of reacting Br(2) with: trans-1,2-diphenylethene and cis-1,2-diphenylethene I know their structures. And I know that each Br will attach to each side of the double bond. Are there three products for each? ...with the products being isomers?

I need to react 1,3-methylcyclopentene with H-Br. Do I do a ring expansion here? What I came up with is 1-bromo-3-methylcyclohexane. Am I completely off? Is there just one major product? I would appreciate the help!

Homework Statement Create cis-1,2-epoxy-1-phenylhexane from (E)-1-phenyl-1-hexene Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution My teacher asked for two ways to create this and I think I've got the first. The first way was by treating (E)-1-phenyl-1-hexene with H2 and poisoned...

Organic: Alkene to Alkyne I am trying to do a synthesis of 2-Octyne from 1-heptene. Conversion of the triple bond to a double bond is pretty easy, but i also have to add an alkyl group, and the double bond must remain on the original triple bond location. Thus, so far thoughts: 1. remove...

Homework Statement What are the two final products when cis-2-butene reacts with HBr and CH3OH? Homework Equations Reactions of Alkenes.The Attempt at a Solution I'm not sure if the HBr will attack the double bond first or if the OH on methane will take the H off HBr and create a radical...

Would a hydrocarbon with both double and triple bonds be considered just an alkyne...or both an alkene and alkyne?

Hey I'm studying for my chem exam & I am having difficulty solving some problems. 1. 1,3cyclohexadiene + Br2= ? Here,should i treat it like a conjugated diene? Meaning that the Br molecules will have 1,2 and 1,4 additions on the diene and 2 products will be there? 2. 1,4cyclohexadiene +...

Starting out with TiCl4 and triethylaluminum, I understand how the triethylaluminum alkylates the TiCl4 and creates a polymeric TiCl3, but then an ethene molecule coordinates with a vacant site on the alkylated TiCl3? I thought titanium's highest oxidation state was +4?

Can you consider a benzene ring to also be an alkene? As in, there are double bonds within the benzene ring.

My textbook introduces the reaction of catalyzed Hydrogenation and later on in the chapter states that all reactions have the ability to proceed forward or backward, yet in the elimination reactions chapter they do not mention this reaction. So, is it true?

I did a lab on alkene diastereomers and I'm a bit confused as to what the purpose was. We reacted maleic acid with a temporary carbocation to see whether the product would be maleic acid or fumaric acid. These are alkene diastereomers of each other. My results suggested that the product was...

Hi all, I am studying for an exam tomorrow and can't seem to find this mechanism anywhere. I know that a Br and a Cl are added in Markovnikov fashion but I don't know which would be added first and which would go on the more substituted carbon. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

how can we convert any given alkane to any other higher or lower alkane without giving rise to any side reactions i tried to find many books but they all give wurtz,decarboxylation,kolbe synthesis but for all these steps we need to prepare their halogen deirvatives which are formed in...

I'm having trouble keeping all these alkene reactions straight (hydroboration, oxymercuration/demurcuration, etc.) is there a useful website or an easier way to categorize/remember which reagents go with a particular reaction? My book isn't much help. Need help!

At school we extracted limonene from orange peels and we had to make an IR spectroscopy for it but I don't see anywhere how we can know the product has a ring constitution... I see a lot of information about aromatic rings but nothing for an alkene ring... Can anybody help me?

Hi I can't figure out the structure of a seven carbon alkene that has a stereogenic center (chiral center) and is known to be optically active. The structure which comes to my mind is apparently not the one that is correct...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and cheers...
