2-Hexene isomers

Draw and name the 17 hexene isomers, C H, 2, including ,Z isomers. 

Methyl-2-pentene afforded the expected products, 2-butene and 2,5-dimethyl-3-hexene, a highly hindered olefin. (The equilibrium cis content of an equilibrated mixture of 2,5-dimethyl-3-hexene isomers was independently established to be 7% cis.)... 

The catalytic homogeneous isomerization of olefins by protonic acids as well as by Lewis acids is well-known and there is little doubt that such isomerizations proceed through carbonium ion transition states or intermediates. Thus, strong acids isomerize 1-hexene to all possible hexene isomers, including cis and trans isomers where these are possible. The isomerization to 2-hexene may be written as a proton addition-elimination ... 

The C4 Olex process is designed with the full allotment of Sorbex beds in addition to the four basic Sorbex zones. The C4 Olex process employs sufficient operating temperature to overcome diffusion limitations with a corresponding operating pressure to maintain liquid-phase operation. The C4 Olex process utilizes a mixed paraffin/olefin heavy desorbent. In this case it is an olefin/paraffin mix consisting of n-hexene isomers and -hexane. A rerun column is needed to remove heavy feed components such as Cs/C because they would contaminate or dilute the hexene/hexane desorbent. Table 8.5 contains the typical feed and product distributions. 

It is now possible to understand the curious phenomenon whereby the reaction of palladium acetate with I in vacuo first rapidly produces a metal precipitate and then slows at about 20% conversion and finally stops with much of the palladium (II) unreacted. These stages in the reaction correspond to oxidation first by Pd3(OAc)6 and then by IVa with ultimate formation of the inert species Va. A complex mixture of hexenyl acetates is formed in the oxidation of which the major constituent l-hexen-2-yl acetate (VI) is 0.68 mole fraction of the whole mixture. Overall the mixture is closely similar to that obtained in the catalytic reactions of 02 described later, suggesting that the same active palladium-containing species is involved. Much of I is isomerized to a 5 1 mixture of trans- and ds-2-hexene (85% at 6 hrs) with only 3% each of the 3-hexene isomers. This aspect of the selectivity problem in which only one shift of the double bond takes place is also reproduced in the catalytic reaction, but oxygen suppresses the rate of isomerization relative to oxidation. 

The enthalpy of formation of 2-methyl-2-pentene was obtained using the same procedure, assumptions and reference as that of its 3-hexene isomers (cf the paper in Reference 24a). 

Isomeric C Hn radical ions fragment not very differently by the different mass spectro-metric methods. The metastable decays are nearly identical, but the collisionally activated spectra of 14 isomeric hexenes, measured by Nishishita and McLafferty240, exhibit some quantitative differences. Bensimon, Rapin and Gaumann251 compared the metastable decay and the photoinduced fragmentation by infrared photons of long-lived parent ions of six hexene isomers and cyclohexane. If the linear isomers are practically identical, some notable differences are observed for branched isomers. Cyclohexane behaves similar to n-hexenes. The metastable fragmentation of H/D-labeled 4-Me-2-pentene, 2-Me-2-pentene... 

In summary the detailed nature of the hexene isomers produced on various solid nickel catalysts by the dimerization of propene is still largely unknown. This paper attempts to provide new knowledge in this area. 

Employing 1-hexene isomerization on a Pt/y-ALOj reforming catalyst as a model reaction system, we showed that isomerization rates are maximized and deactivation rates are minimized when operating with near-critical reaction mixtures [2]. The isomerization was carried out at 281°C, which is about 1.1 times the critical temperature of 1-hexene. Since hexene isomers are the main reaction products, the critical temperature and pressure of the reaction mixture remain virtually unaffected by conversion. Thus, an optimum combination of gas-like transport properties and liquid-like densities can be achieved with relatively small changes in reactor pressure around the critical pressure (31.7 bars). Such an optimum combination of fluid properties was found to be better than either gas-phase or dense supercritical (i.e., liquid-like) reaction media for the in situ extraction of coke-forming compounds. 

The surface oligomers (E) result from 1-hexene (A), hexene isomers (B) and the fluid phase oligomers. The rate constants associated with the formation of the surface oligomers from 1-hexene and the isomer products are identical. 

As expected, the two trans compounds are more stable than their cis counterparts. The cis-trans difference is much more pronounced for the tetramethyl compound, however. Build a model of c/s-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-hexene and notice the extreme crowding of the methyl groups. Steric strain makes the cis isomer much less stable than the trans isomer and causes cis A//°hydrog to have a much larger negative value than trans A//°hydrog for the hexene isomers. 

Yeast-derived saturated short-medium chain and branched-chain aldehydes are formed from sugar metabolism, fatty acid metabolism and branched-chain amino acid metabolism (Fig 8D.7). In addition, hexanal, as well as hexenal isomers, are formed during the pre-fermentative stages of winemaking by the sequential action of grape lipoxygenase and hydroperoxide cleavage enzyme on linoleic and linolenic acid, respectively (Crouzet 1986). 

Usually, the reactivity is highest for the terminal position and lowest for the positions at branches. Once the reactivities with regard to a specific reaction have been determined for all six positions, the reaction behavior of all types of monoolefins except those with strained rings or bulky substituents can be predicted with reasonable confidence. The reactivities of three structurally differed hexene isomers in hydroformylation catalyzed by phosphine-substituted cobalt hydrocarbonyls may serve as an example [16] ... 

A detailed study of the photooxygenation of hexene isomers showed that, depending on the reaction temperature (25c or 50 C). the allylic hydroperoxides are produced E selectively38, in diastereomeric ratios from 78 22 to > 99 1. In cases with a high alkene concentration in ethanol as solvent and rose bengal as sensitizer, the product ratios are determined after 5-10% conversion. 

The reactions and product distributions thus far reported have been exclusively concerned with hexene. It was of interest to see whether the high specificity of positional substitution could be maintained with the other hexene isomers. By positional substitution specificity is meant ester attachment on ether of the carbons involved in the original carbon-carbon double bond. Table VII shows the results of these studies. The internal olefins reacted more slowly than the a-olefin, and with both palladium chloride-cupric chloride and 7r-hexenylpalladium chloride-cupric chloride systems high substitutional specificity (> 95% ) was also maintained with 2-hexene (Table VII). However, with 3-hexene the specificity is considerably lower (80%). Whether this is caused by 3-hexene isomerization prior to vinylation or by allylic ester isomerization is not known. A surprisingly high ratio of 2-substitution to 3-substitution is found ( 7 1) in the products from 2-hexene. An effect this large... 

The Isotopic distribution of ethene (Figure 5) hardly changes in the temperature range 350 to 450 °C, whereas that of the hexene isomer shows a marked temperature dependence. At 350 °C it is even more biased towards the aU C-species, and at 450 °C much less so. The Isotope distribution of JQrlene also shows a small temperature dependence, but the general appearance does not change. 

Hexyne is best suited to study activity and selectivity of a hydrogenation catalyst. A mixture of 1,10-phenanthroline-stabilized seven- and eight-shell Pd clusters (Pd 7/8) on Ti02, dispersed in ethanol, catalyzes the transformation of 2-hexyne to cA-2-hexene with ca. 95 % selectivity and a turnover frequency (TOF) of 35 min . As can be seen from Figure 2, tranx-2-hexene, n-hexane, and other hexene isomers are only formed in consecutive reactions. If the phenan-... 

Electrophiles (II) and (III) must be closely associated as ion pairs with anionic sites in the aluminosilicate lattice. Elimination of a proton from (II) or (III) results in the formation of the 2- and 3-hexene isomers. Attack of free hexene on the adsorbed Ce electrophile to form a C12 carbonium ion, with subsequent proton elimination, results in dimer formation.

As a result of the above constraints, VOCs that for all practical purposes do not produce organic aerosol in the atmosphere include all alkanes with up to six carbon atoms (from methane to hexane isomers), all alkenes with up to six carbon atoms (from ethene to hexene isomers), and most other low-molecular-weight compounds. An important exception is isoprene, a five-carbon atom molecule with two double bonds (see Section 6.11) isoprene photooxidation produces SOA in laboratory chambers (Kroll et al. 2005, 2006) and its oxidation products have been detected in ambient aerosols (Claeys et al., 2004a Edney et al. 2005). In general, large VOCs containing one or more double bonds are expected to be good SOA precursors. A set of structure-SOA formation potential relationships have been proposed by Keywood et al. (2004) for cycloalkenes ... 

As a result of the above constraints, VOCs that for all practical purposes do not produce organic aerosol in the atmosphere include all alkanes with up to six carbon atoms (from methane to hexane isomers), all alkenes with up to six carbon atoms (from ethene to hexene isomers), benzene and many low-molecular-weight carbonyls, chlorinated compounds, and oxygenated solvents.
