Why is an alkane more chemically reactive than the corresponding alkane?
Draw and name all products of the following reactions.
(a) CH3–CH=CH–CH3 + Cl2 →
(b) 3-methyl-3-hexene + water →
(c) benzene + bromine (catalyzed by FeBr2) →
(d) 2-bromopentane + sodium hydroxide →
(e) CH3CH2OH + CH3CH2COOH →
(f) CH3–CH=CH2 + H2 →
(g) N-ethylpentanamide + water (catalyzed by H2SO4) →
Classify each type of reaction in the previous question.
Draw and name the organic products of the following reactions.
(a) oxidation of hexan-3-ol
(b) reduction of methanal
(c) oxidation of 3-methylpentanal
(d) reduction of 2,2-dimethylheptan-3-one
(e) oxidation of 3-ethyl-2-methylhexan-1-ol
