What reagent will react by addition to what unsaturated hydrocarbon to form each of the following compounds?
a. CH3CH=CHCH3
B.CH3CH2OSO3H
C. (CH3)2CHOH
Solution :-
Alkene and alkyne undergoes addition reaction.
For the reaction in the part a the product is alkene therefore starting matirial will be alkyne which is reduced to the alkene by using the H2/Pb Lindlar catalyst to give alkene.
in the part b reaction when alkene is reacted with H2SO4 then it forms the desired product
In the part c reaction when alkene is reacted with aqueous acid then it forms the more substituted alcohol product.
