O2
In gaseous state
Heterolytic eletrophilic
addition,produces alkanes
Cl2, Br2, I2
Aqueous or organic,
reaction with Br water used
to test for alkenes
Heterolytic eletrophilic
addition,produces RX with 2
halogen atoms
HCl, HBr, HI
Heterolytic eletrophilic
addition,markovnikovs rule,
cabocation stability,produces RX
KMnO4 , acidified
potassium mangnate
(VII)
Oxidation, heterolytic
eletrophilic addition,produces
diols
Phosphoric acid
H3PO4 cat
Hetrolytic electrophilic
addition.,steam hydration
produces ethanol
Alkene
Oxygen containing
compound to initiate
reaction. Ethene
polymerises to low density
polyethene at 200 oC and
20000atm.
Addition Polymerisation
Heterolytic nucleophilic
substitution, RX hydrolysed to
ROH nu- is OH-, iodoalkanes
are fastest to hydrolyse because
their bonds are the weakest.
KOH
Warm in ethanol, in
anhydrous conditions and
under reflux
KCN
NH3
Heterolytic nucleophilic
substitution, this produces
amines.
Cl2, Br2, I2
Alkene
H2
RCl, RBr, RI
Haloalkanes KOH, NAOH
ROH,
Alcohols
K2Cr2O72-/H+
acidified potassium
dichromate(VI)
H2SO4(l)
Reflux at 170oC
Al2O3(s)
300oC
H3PO3
70oC
PCl5(l)
Halogenation,produces
chloroalkanes
NaBr(s)/H2SO4(l)
Halogenation produces
bromoalaknes, nucleophilic
substitution
Red P + I2
Reflux
Halogenation produces
iodoalkanes
Na metal
ROOH
