ALKANES • Combustion (Extreme Oxidation) • Alkane + O2 CO2 + H2O Incomplete combustion Alkane + O2 CO + H2 O • Substitution (with halides) • alkane + halogen haloalkane +hydrogen halide • CH4 + Cl2CH3Cl + HCl • CH3Cl + Cl2 CH2Cl2 + HCl
ALKENES 1. Addition Reactions (breaking of the double bond) A) Halogenation (adding halides) alkene + halogen haloalkane B) Hydrogenation (adding hydrogen) alkene + hydrogen alkane CH2=CH2 + H2 CH3CH3
D) Hydration (adding water) alkene + water alcohol C) Hydrohalogenation (adding hydrogen halides) alkene + hydrogen halide haloalkane Hydrohalogenation and hydration follow Markovnikov’s Rule which states that the hydrogen is added to the carbon with the most hydrogen atoms originally bonded to it.
2. Combustion (extreme oxidation) Alkene + O2 CO2 + H2O 3. Polymerization (forming long chains from small subunits) *Polymerization will be addressed later
ALKYNES 1. Addition Reactions (breaking of the multiple bond) A) Halogenation (adding halides) alkyne + 2 halogenshaloalkane alkyne + 1 halogen haloalkene
B) Hydrogenation (adding hydrogen) alkyne + 2 hydrogen alkane
C) Hydrohalogenation (adding hydrogen halides) alkyne + 2 hydrogen halides haloalkane
Reactions of Aromatics 1. Substitution A) With Halogens benzene + halogen halobenzene + hydrogen halide Note: Due to reduced reactivity of the ring bonds compared with double bonds, aromatics due not undergo addition reactions under normal conditions.
2. With Alkyl Halides ( not mentioned in textbook) • benzene + alkyl halide alkyl benzene + hydrogen halide 3. With Nitric Acid ( not mentioned in textbook) benzene + nitric acid nitrobenzene + water
