  1. Alkenes (chapter 31)

  2. Preparation Industrial - cracking • Laboratory • 1. Elimination • Dehydrohalogenation of haloalkanes • RX => alkene • b. Dehydration of alkanols • ROH => alkene • Hydrogenation of alkynes

  3. Physical properties

  4. Chemical properties Weaker  bond (Bond energy: C=C 611 C-C 346) More reactive than alkanes. • electrons in C=C bond are easily polarized, acts as a source of electrons, attacked by electrophiles. E+---N-

  8. Orientation of Addition reactions CH3CH=CH2 + H-X => CH3CHXCH3 + CH3CH2CH2X (major) Markovnikov’s rule: In addition of HX to alkenes, hydrogen adds to the doubly-bonded carbon that has the greater number of hydrogen already attached to it.

  9. CH3CH=CH2 + H-X CH3-CH-CH3 CH3-CH2-CH2 (more stable) (less stable) + + X- X- CH3CH2CH2X CH3CHXCH3 (major product) (minor product) Orientation of Addition reactions (-R group has +inductive effect, stabilizes the carbocation.)

  12. Pt/Pd/Ni CH3CH=CHCH3 + H2 CH3CH2CH2CH3 heat, pressure H C H C Nickel Catalytic Hydrogenation Transition metals are able to adsorb hydrogen on to their surface to form metal-hydrogen bond. The alkene molecule then reacts with these adsorbed hydrogen. The lowered activation energy makes the reaction goes faster.

  13. Catalytic Hydrogenation Heterolytic catalyst Exothermic Stereochemistry: The two H atoms are added from the same side of the -bond of the alkene molecule. (syn or cis-addition)

  14. Hardening of oils - Margarine Margarine is made from vegetable oils by the hydrogenation of double bonds in the oil. Hydrogenation converts liquid oils (polyunsaturated fats) into semi-solid fats (partially saturated fats).

  15. CH2-OOC(CH2)14CH3 CH-OO(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7CH3 CH2-OO(CH2)6(CH2CH=CH)3CH2CH3 CH2-OOC(CH2)14CH3 CH-OO(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7CH3 CH2-OO(CH2)16CH3 Hardening of oils - Margarine + 3 H2 vegetable oil Powdered Ni catalyst, 420K and 5 atm. pressure margarine

  17. Ozonolysis 1. O3 CH2=CH2 2 HCH=O 2. Zn,H2O Step 1: Oxidation Step 2: Hydrolysis by adding water, zinc is used to prevent H2O2 from oxidizing the aldehydes.

  18. 1. O3 e.g. X CH3CHO + CH3COCH3 2. Zn,H2O Ozonolysis By analysing the products from ozonolysis, the position of the C=C bond in the alkene molecule, and hence the structure can be determined. X: CH3CH=C(CH3)2

  19. Predict the structures of the following hydrocarbons using the information: • OHC-(CH2)4-CHO (C6H10) • CH3CHO, OHC-CH2-CHO (C10H16) Ozonolysis Check Point 31-3

  23. High Density poly(ethene) HDPE Condition: lower pressure (2-6 atm), 60oC. Ziegler-Natta Catalyst (ionic mechanism). Consists of regularly packed, linear polymers with extensive crystalline region. Uses: Rigid articles such as refrigerator ice trays, buckets, crates.
