Drill and practice with reactions of alkenes The 4 main classes of reactions of alkene are: (U-Pick) a)elimination, substitution, allylic addition, rearrangement b)SN1, SN2, E1 and E2 c)Carbocation addition, bridgehead addition, free radical addition and organometallic/redox reactions d)Radical substitution, SN1, E2 and allylic rearrangement In a carbocation addition, addition proceeds: a)To make rearranged alkene b)Anti-Markovnikoff, inverted c)Markovnikoff, inverted d)Markovnikoff, racemic Which class of reactions of alkenes always involves Br 2 in CCl 4 or ether ? Bridgehead (halohydrin) mechanism
Free radical additions are characterized by: a)Absence of peroxides and markovnikoff addition b)Formation of rings and unsaturated produces c)Presence of peroxides and markovnikoff substitution d)Presence of peroxides and anti-markovnikoff substitution Key intermediate state in halohydrin reactions : a)Sp 2 Carbocation b)Free radical c)3-atom semi-carbocation d)5-coordinate complex Which reaction class(es) can produce larger dimers, trimers…polymers a) bridgehead b) Organometallic /redox c) radical d) carbocation Which reaction class includes reactions that aren’t additions ? Organometallic (ozonolysis and allylic substitutions)
Term Anti addition Reaction class Bridgehead (halohydrin) Anti Markovnikoff additionRadical addition Syn and anti; H.C. Brown, peroxy acids and NBS Organometallic/redox Dimers and trimers; industrial route to ethanol carbocation Polymerization; carbene insertion; freon additions Radical addition Markovnikoff addition carbocation

Final product above is ……. Anti diol A different route to anti diol Peroxide/formic acid (makes hydroperoxide) Starting from any alkene, make 3-bromo-1-butene in one step
I love Organic Chemistry ! It makes people cry.
