Title: Alkene reactions
Post by: d0minicz on January 15, 2009, 05:23:28 pm
Name the products formed when propene reacts with:
a)hydrogen chloride (two possible products)
b)Water (two possible products)
c)hydrogen

How would you approach these questions? Thanks!

Ya dude I was stumped at the same question! They barely show you wtf to do then they ask for you to do it.

Too lazy to fetch my MS Paint out, but basically what you'll be getting is addition reactions here. Because propene has a double bond, when you react it with these things, the double bond will snap and become an alkane with functional groups attached. Say the initial structure was C-C=C, obviously with the hydrogens coming out;
a. You'll get H on one C, Cl on the other C. Draw that up, now flip the two around, and there's your two possible products.
b. Same thing as above, but its H and OH. 2 permutations.
c. It'll just become propane.

1) 1-chloropropane, 2-chloropropane
2) 1-propanol, 2-propanol
3) propane
