Example Question #21 : Reactions By Reactant
What is the product of the chemical reaction given?
Hydroxylation of alkene compounds is called a hydration reaction. The reaction occurs in the presence of a strong acid catalyst to protonate the organic compound similar to Markovnikov's addition forming a carbocation as an intermediate. A water molecule nucleophilicly bonds to the carbocation intermediate. A proton is lost from the positively charged oxygen to a chloride ion yielding the alcohol product and regenerating the acid.

Example Question #22 : Reactions By Reactant
What is the product of the reaction shown?
The reaction is a catalytic hydrogenation of an alkene using a palladium (Pd) catalyst. This reaction can be used to add a hydrogen atom to each carbon involved in a pi bond. The resulting molecule will be a an alkane.
Example Question #21 : Reactions By Reactant
Starting with an alkyne, synthesis of a cis alkene is driven upon addition of which of the following reagents?
Reduction of an alkyne with hydrogen and Lindlar's catalyst will result in a cis alkene. While is a reducing agent, when added to an alkyne, a trans alkene is formed. Potassium permanganate is an oxidizing agent and thus will not reduce the triple bond. The Grignard reagent is used to add organic substituents onto carbonyls. Addition of one equivalent of chlorine in carbon tetrachloride solvent yields a trans alkene; addition of a second equivalent of chlorine yields a tetrachloro alkane.
