Alkenes – unsaturated hydrocarbons(CnH2n)

reactivity: the double bond is responsible for their

reactivity

1. oxidation - -bond is attacked by oxidizing agents

CH3-CH=CH-CH3 → CH3-CH(OH)-CH(OH)-CH3 (e.g. by

KMnO4)

2. reduction = hydrogenation = saturation of the molecule by hydrogen

CH3-CH=CH-CH3 → CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 (by H2 + Pt)

Alkenes – unsaturated hydrocarbons(CnH2n)

reactivity:

3.addition reaction two substances join together to form a compound containing all atoms present in the original substances

the double bond is transformed to the single bond, substituents are added

CH2=CH2 + Br2 → Br-CH2-CH2-Br = halogenation

CH2=CH2 + HCl → CH3-CH2-Cl = halogenation

CH2=CH2 + H2O →CH3-CH2-OH = hydration

Alkenes – unsaturated hydrocarbons(CnH2n)

! Markovnikov´s rule !

for unsymmetrical reagents „HX“

„hydrogen atom of the reagent HX binds to the unsaturated carbon that has the greater number of dirrectly bonded hydrogen atoms“

Alcohols + alkenes ethers. • For example, addition of CH3OH to 2-methylpropene, forms tert-

butyl methyl ether (MTBE), a high octane fuel additive.

• Halogenation is the addition of X2 (X = Cl or Br) to an alkene to form a vicinal dihalide.

4. polymerization

“polymers“ are high molecular weight molecules made from thousands of repeating units, which are low molecular weight molecules (“monomers“)

it is a multiple addition reaction of alkenes

e.g. n CH2=CH2 → (-CH2-CH2-)n

properties of polymers depend on the monomer used and MW of the product

polymer: Greek: poly, many and meros, partmonomer: Greek: mono, single and meros, part

POLYMERISATION OF ALKENES

Process • during polymerisation, an alkene undergoes an addition reaction with itself

• all the atoms in the original alkenes are used to form the polymer

• long hydrocarbon chains are formed

ADDITION POLYMERISATION

the equation shows the original monomer and the repeating unit in the polymer

n represents a large number
