Hello everyone, In theory, reactions like the addition of hydrogen bromide to alkenes are popular reactions for explaining electrophilic addition. However, there is virtually no literature online on the actual practical implementation of such a reaction, which I would be interested in. For example, how would the synthesis proceed if 1-hexene were reacted with 48%…
Hello dear community, I recently conducted an experiment to determine the iodine value of oil that had been expired for a year. It involved reacting an oil sample with bromine water. To determine the iodine number (or here the bromine number) you need the mass of the bromine consumed, which we did not calculate by…
Hello, could someone possibly help me with the above formula? I'm wondering if the backside attack on the bromonium ion can occur from "one side or the other," or if only option 1 is correct. If so, why? Even after researching, it's still not entirely clear to me. In principle, the nucleophilic Br particle attacks…
Hello dear community, I wanted to ask whether the bromination of alkenes, as an electrophilic addition in the step in which the bromomium ion is opened, is more reminiscent of SN1 or SN2? Generally, you have a reaction between anion and cation, which would support SN1, but there is also a backside attack by the…
Hello dear community, My OC book says that the electrophilic addition of cyclohexene with bromine produces two enantiomers, which are trans-1,2-dibromocyclohexane, thus resulting in a racemate. However, further down it says that the X2 addition is stereospecific, and I don't understand that. Does that mean that a racemate is formed, but it only consists of…
Hello everyone, Tomorrow we have a chemistry test on electrophilic addition. Our teacher gave us exercises to do. …unfortunately, I’m already failing at these. Could someone help me solve this? The task is as follows: B: Electrophilic addition: Sketch the electrophilic addition of propene with chlorine in all its steps. Describe the mechanism, noting the…
What does the Markovnikov rule mean: Bonding to the higher/lower substituted C atom What is substituting and what is a substituent?
Hello everyone, I'm currently having some trouble with the following task: "Formulate the reaction mechanism of the acid-catalyzed electrophilic addition of water (H₂O) to propene (C₃H₆)." Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this, or perhaps the time to explain to me how to do it?
Hello! Can you help me with problem 10? Isn't this about the KKK and SSS rules? Shouldn't HCl be split off?
Hey, this is my written mechanism (of bromine and pentene): Thank you.
Hey, this is the whole reaction mechanism of the electrophilic addition reaction (of pentane and bromine): Thank you.
Hey, in the electrophilic addition reaction, ethene, for example, reacts with a halogen (e.g., fluorine, bromine, etc.). My question is, does the addition reaction also work with, say, propene or heptene? If so, how does it work? What is the mechanism? Thank you.
