Reactions of Alkenes An Introduction New Way Chemistry for Hong Kong A-Level 3A
Alkenes are more reactive than alkanes • Undergoes addition reaction rather than substitution New Way Chemistry for Hong Kong A-Level 3A
Presence of C=C double bond • C=C double bond is made up of a bond and a bond • Addition reactions only involve breaking of weaker bonds of alkenes New Way Chemistry for Hong Kong A-Level 3A
The electrons of the bond are • diffuse in shape • less firmly held by the bonding carbon nuclei Susceptible to the attack by electrophiles New Way Chemistry for Hong Kong A-Level 3A
Electrophiles : - Electron-deficient species Attack electron-rich center e.g. C=C bond Examples : Cations : H+, Br+, R+,… (lead to heterolysis) Free radicals : H, Cl, R,…(lead to homolysis) New Way Chemistry for Hong Kong A-Level 3A
All have lone pairs for donating to the reaction sites Nucleophiles : - Electron-rich species Attack electron-deficient site e.g. carbonyl carbon, C=O Examples : anions : OH, Br, RO,… molecules : H2O, ROH, NH3 All lead to heterolytic fissions New Way Chemistry for Hong Kong A-Level 3A
