Ochem 1 Final 1 (Answer Key)

  1.  
    What does 1) HgSO4 --> 2) H3O+, H2O do to an alkyne?
    turns ALKYNE into a ENOL and TAUTOMERIZES into a KETONE
  2.  
    What does 1) HBr2 --> 2) NaOH, H2O do to an alkyne?
    turns ALKYNE into a ENOL and TAUTOMERIZES into a ALDEHYDE
  3.  
    What does Na --> NH3 (l) do to an alkyne?
    turns ALKYNE to TRANS ALKENE
  4.  
    What does H2 --> Lindlar's Cat. do to an alkyne?
    turns ALKYNE to CIS ALKENE
  5.  
    How is a Zaitsev haloalkane formed from a tripled bonded, alkyne?
    You MUST ADD EACH HX SEPARATELY! 1 eq. of HX adds X to the most substituted position of NEW ALKENE; the 2nd eq. of HX adds ANOTHER X to the most substituted position (w/ other X) and forms ALKANE (no more pi bonds)
  6.  
    What does 1) 03 --> 2) H2O do to an alkyne?
    a CARBOXILLIC ACID is formed! Sometimes CO2 if the alkyne is TERMINAL/H
  7.  
    How do you get an ALKANE from an ALKYNE?
    H2 --> Pt
