Simmons-Smith reagent Named after the duPont chemists who discovered that diiodo-mechane would react with an active zinc-copper couple in ether to give a reagent with molecular formula ICHiZnl. The reagent adds stereospecifically cis- to alkenes to give cyclopropanes in high yields. 

The classes of hydrocarbons are alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and arenes Alkanes are hydrocarbons in which all of the bonds are single bonds and are characterized by the molecular formula C H2 +2... 

The general molecular formula for an alkene is Cr,H2n Ethylene is C2H4 propene IS C3H6 Counting the carbons and hydrogens of the compound shown (CsHie) reveals that it too corresponds to CnH2n... 

Although ethylene is the only two carbon alkene and propene the only three carbon alkene there are four isomeric alkenes of molecular formula C4Hj ... 

How many alkenes have the molecular formula C5H10 Write their... 

Earlier (Sections 218 3 11) we saw how to use heats of combustion to compare the sta bilities of isomeric alkanes We can do the same thing with isomeric alkenes Consider the heats of combustion of the four isomenc alkenes of molecular formula C4Hj All undergo combustion according to the equation... 

Write structural formulas or build molecular models and give the lUPAC names for all the alkenes of molecular formula C6H12 that contain a trisub stituted double bond (Dont forget to include stereoisomers)... 

Wnte a structural formula or build a molecular model and give a correct lUPAC name for each alkene of molecular formula C7H14 that has a tetrasubstituted double bond... 

Choose the compound of molecular formula C7Hi3Br that gives each alkene shown as the exclusive product of E2 elimination... 

When the objective is analytical the products of ozonolysis are isolated and identi lied thereby allowing the structure of the alkene to be deduced In one such example an alkene having the molecular formula C Hig was obtained from a chemical reaction and was then subjected to ozonolysis giving acetone and 2 2 dimethylpropanal as the products... 

On being heated with a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol compound A (CyHisBr) yielded a mixture of two alkenes B and C each having the molecular formula C7H14 Catalytic hydrogenation of the major isomer B or the minor isomer C gave only 3 ethylpentane Suggest structures for compounds A B and C consistent with these observations... 

Compounds A and B are isomers of molecular formula C9Hi9Br Both yield the same alkene C as the exclusive product of elimination on being treated with potassium tert butoxide in dimethyl sulfoxide Hydrogenation of alkene C gives 2 3 3 4 tetramethylpentane What are the structures of compounds A and B and alkene C2... 

Hydrocarbons that contain a carbon-carbon triple bond are called alkynes Non cyclic alkynes have the molecular formula C H2 -2 Acetylene (HC=CH) is the simplest alkyne We call compounds that have their triple bond at the end of a carbon chain (RC=CH) monosubstituted or terminal alkynes Disubstituted alkynes (RC=CR ) have internal triple bonds You will see m this chapter that a carbon-carbon triple bond is a functional group reacting with many of the same reagents that react with the double bonds of alkenes... 

The classification of hydrocarbons as aliphatic or aromatic took place m the 1860s when It was already apparent that there was something special about benzene toluene and their derivatives Their molecular formulas (benzene is CgHg toluene is C7Hj ) indicate that like alkenes and alkynes they are unsaturated and should undergo addition reac tions Under conditions m which bromine for example reacts rapidly with alkenes and alkynes however benzene proved to be inert Benzene does react with Bi2 m the pres ence of iron(III) bromide as a catalyst but even then addition isn t observed Substitu tion occurs instead ... 

What about a substance wrth the molecular formula 71414 Thrs compound can not be an alkane but may be erther a cycloalkane or an alkene because both these classes of hydrocarbons correspond to the general molecular formula C H2 Any time a ring or a double bond is present in an organic molecule its molecular formula has two fewer hydrogen atoms than that of an alkane with the same number of carbons... 

There are two fewer hydrogen atoms in each of the alkenes than in the alkane with the same number of carbon atoms. This is also shown by the general molecular formula of the alkenes, C H2 , as opposed to the general molecular formula of the alkanes, which is C H2n+2-... 

How many alkenes have the molecular formula C5H10 Write their structures and give their lUPAC names. Specify the configuration of stereoisomers as cis or trans as appropriate. 

On the basis of the mechanism of cationic polymerization, predict the alkenes of molecular formula C12H24 that can most reasonably be formed when 2-methylpropene [(CH3)2C=CH2] is treated with sulfuric acid. 

As we saw earlier, there are three structural isomers of the alkene C4H8. You may be surprised to learn that there are actually/owr different alkenes with this molecular formula. The extra compound arises because of a phenomenon called geometric isomerism. There are two different geometric isomers of the structure shown on the left, on page 597, under (1). 

Give the molecular formula and identify each of the following molecules as being an alkane, alkene, or alkyne ... 

Give the molecular formulas corresponding to the following stick figures and identify each as an alkane, an alkene, an alkyne, or an aromatic hydrocarbon ... 

The empirical formula is C4Hy the molecular formula might be C jHlg, which matches the formula for alkanes (C H, +,). It is not likely an alkene or alkyne, because there is no reasonable Lewis structure for a compound having the empirical formula C4II9 and multiple bonds. 

Compounds called cycloalkanes, having molecules with no double bonds but having a cyclic or ring structure, are isomeric with alkenes whose molecules contain the same number of carbon atoms. For example, cyclopentane and 2-pentene have the same molecular formula, C5H, but have completely...
